This may seem like a big call but I'm willing to say it: Death Cab For Cutie are the greatest band ever to be named after a Bonzos song.

@AlboMP You are wrong to blame only social media when tragedy strikes In 2020, 500K Aussies & 2 x PMs signed a petition for a media royal commission You chose to ignore that when you became PM That choice led directly to the rise of One Nation & a divided nation 🐝 #auspol

At CPAC in Brisbane. Warren Mundine introduced proceedings, describing bumping into @chrisbowenmp.bsky.social: "It doesn't go well on a CV if you murder a federal minister". Quite the line.

It is my studied opinion and advice that you get all the good bits of any podcast in the 90-second reels they post. That saves you between 1 and 4 hours a pop. Follow me for more time and anger saving hacks.

I see there are a few Metallica fans struggling to process their love of the band with James Hetfield’s attempt to turn having nothing to say into a principled stance. Well, maybe I can help you out...

I’m not going to burn his records. I’m not saying he shouldn’t proclaim his truth by whatever means whenever he wants. I’m just calling him out on his shit. That’s what you do when you care.

@billablog.bsky.social

Your friends are not the ones who will back you no matter what. Your real friends will call you out on your shit. The irony of it all is that if Hetfield had just shut up about shutting up instead of trying to make it a flex, people would have just focussed on the show.

His takes on Ukraine are fucked. His assertion that Taiwan belongs to China because a 1948 UN resolution said so cheapens his principled stance on Palestine’s right to exist. And his willingness to be baited by every hack podcaster reveals a lower media literacy than I had given him credit for.

I've always said that for all the leather pants, amp stacks, and scowling, Metallica are really just music school nerds congratulating themselves on how many weird arse time signatures they can cram into one verse.

I recommend people read this to get a sense of the president's grave cognitive impairment. Trump is either unwilling or unable (or maybe both) to answer the questions he's actually asked, so he just rants and raves while the interviewers do their best to provide structure to his random brain firings

Trump: "They want to cut your children. It's unbelievable what they do. Your son leaves as Jimmy and comes home in three days as Janet, and they don't even ask you. They can take your child out of school and do whatever the hell they want. Minnesota is one of those states."
