Stumbled across this great new d-beat band from Brisbane, EXIT-PLOOM. They just started in 2023, they rip, and their loud, noisy, rough tape 'Duck and Cover' from 2024 is here, to hear: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hmdj0BBjX_k
and here, to buy:

If I understand correctly, the contracts for housing asylum-serkers in ramshackle hotels (because they can't work or access benefits) are open to rip-offs by hotel owners and the taxi firms contracted to do the transport.
So the people badly served are now further demonised and will mostly be denied help to get to health appointments.
Further demonisation.
Correct me if that's wrong because the news hasn't been very clear. BBC radio 4 played a part in this.

Just finished watching series 1 of ST:SNW, I think I mostly like it - one very silly episode, one fairly silly episode, and a bunch of good ones (including a good Alien rip off).
For UK people: It's still on ITVX.

Content warning: re: bitcoin conference report
The conference is over now. I likely wouldn't have come for just a bitcoin thing, but I am very interested in redecentralizing the web, so it's attachment to the nostr day pulled me in.
Everyone I met was friendly and interesting and seems much more interested in making a better money system than in making money for themselves.
Our government and bank money systems are dysfunctional in all kinds of ways which are often less visible than they should be too people using them, especially to those in Europe and America who benefit from the way those systems exploit the global south.
I'm not convinced that fixing that would end wars and fix broken government as some seem to think, but I am sure our money is the source of many problems.
There are many bright, well meaning, and intelligent people building to improve bitcoin in fascinating ways with the hope of having a parallel system to transition to. With lots of work still to be done.
Can it work?
I'm sure I don't know, and I'm sure even if it's a better system it'll come with it's own unfairness and cruelty. Money will continue to be a source of suck and worry.
I'm told that the bigger conferences are often full of shitcoin scammers and suit wearing banksters who are in fact all in it too get rich and rip people off, but I found none of that here.
Here there is a real community of people trying to make the world a better place and improve the lives of their neighbours and governance of their countries.
And in the end building community is the most radical and effective way to change the world regardless of the problems of it's money system.
I had a great time. Thanks to those organising it.

Oh whoopie-z with a rotten radish on top!!
Now El Cheeto is going to tear down the entire east wing of the white house. Gee and he said that it would not be touched - liar!! But what are to we expect from the guy who lied to build trump tower and wants to bulldoze Gaza to build hotels and golf courses.
The White House belongs to US, not to El Cheato. Were I a DC official I would revoke the business licenses of every company that is working on, or contributing to, this rip-off o…

Wow. RIP Ace. One of the first to inspire me to play.
Still remember flipping through the TV channels randomly and stumbling on a KISS concert, being blown away by the guitar bursting into flames during a solo and rising out of his hands into the rafters.
