The topic of first concerts we saw came up today and I was floored to realize that today is the thirtieth anniversary of my seeing Pink Floyd in concert at the Big O (Olympic stadium) in Montreal.

What a band to see live. And really set expectations way too high for other concerts.

What was your first concert?

WendyMsGator,

@WTL

First concert ever. Dreadful venue but great concert. Dancing on tin folding chairs.

WendyMsGator,

@WTL

I was 18. Of course it was cool. Everything is cool when you are 18.

Weird science. You wonder why some future society would be keen to develop science to bring deceased 80somethings back from death. What's in it for them?

I don't even like being COLD let alone frozen. Count me out, dead or not. I have no wish to be revived once I'm gone.

In the most glorious "fuck you" I have seen in a while, you know the book that Cumberland City Council banned because they're homophobic bigots - Holly Duhig's "A focus on Same Sex Parents"? Well, the publisher, BookLife Publishing, have made a PDF version of the book available for free.

Sure be a shame if it was shared far and wide now, wouldn't it?

Every time you ban a book filled with hope and kindness, and care and love, we will resist.

They sent my delivery next door again. This time I refused to go chasing it and they're sending a replacement order this evening.

WendyMsGator,

My free replacement order arrived earlier this evening. I'm still pissed off though.

What the everloving fuck is going on with journalists?!??
Following on from what seems by this example a rather cute, parochial prank on the BBC by Joe Lycett, the NYT absolutely bricks it on the basics.
Switch "Iranian" for "American" - can you see what the correct answer is now, NYT?

#NoYouCantJustBombAnythingYouFeelLike #Journalism #Iran #Israel #Palestine

WendyMsGator,

@fkamiah17

My very basic knowledge of diplomatic missions tells me that they are the sovereign territory of the country they represent.

So Israel just bombed Iran. No ifs, no buts. Israel just violated Iranian sovereign territory.

If I, a retired Australian public servant, knows this - why the living FUCK doesn't the New York Times?

Was just playing Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade for DOS.

The most hilarious part is when Indy just casually walks by Hitler looking out of a window and then says, “Nazis, I hate these guys.”

MI GOP Rep Tim Walberg, on Gaza:
“We shouldn’t be spending a dime on humanitarian aid. It should be like Nagasaki & Hiroshima. Get it over quick.”

MI Rep Rashid Tlaib was censured for saying "From the river to the sea." As Walberg calls for nuclear genocide of 2M Palestinians I await the censure resolution against him ASAP.

Listening to a Big Ideas podcast about housing in the northern territory. It just makes you wish every politician from every state, territory and federal government would live in one of these houses for a week.

They're taking to the only Aboriginal person that has solar panels on their roof. The power meters there are pre-paid - if you used up your money the power shuts off. The power meter has a plug on the side that says "solar input".

The power and water department said "we can't attach solar, it's dangerous".

They went back to the manufacturer of the power meter that power and water had installed and got the manual and showed that it was perfectly safe.

Power and water put a padlock on his power box so he couldn't plug the panels in.

He took the padlock off with an angle grinder.

This is the kind of stupid, deliberately antagonistic, needlessly wasteful BS that Aboriginal people have to go through to do something that politicians throughout Australia have got without a second thought.

Of course it's a Liberal government there. But things haven't been better under Labor either.

Us city people need to know these things to realise the real gaps in our society.

WendyMsGator,

@luciedigitalni @PaulWay

I can only say that the job they are doing MIGHT have been worse under the Opposition.

I honestly don't know enough about their politics.
