Much of the intl reporting on the French protests has been doing my head in. Especially the Australian tendency to miss the point. So I was glad to write about what I saw firsthand at Place de la République last weekend. And have my photo published, too. www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/2026/10...

This is so gross, but a lot of 3D chess by notionally progressive opposition parties involves othering minorities as pawns in pursuit of a later victory.

You’re a sick fuck, Greven. The fact you thought it was a good idea to do this at all tells me that. But the fact that you only felt bad when you found out it was a white girl’s skull tells me you were happy to do it when you thought had had belonged to an Aboriginal person.
