i think understanding the family as a system of ownership over both women and children will lead you to understand both misogyny and the oppression of children a lot better and also be able to draw informative parallels between both
If you rely on a hidden phone for your safety, be aware that Australia’s new emergency warning system, AusAlert, can send alerts that override silent and “Do Not Disturb” settings.
If safe to do so, turn off any hidden device before the scheduled test and only switch it back on after the test period has ended.
A national test alert will be sent at 2pm (AEST) on 27 July 2026.
Revolting little machine I hope someone guy fawkeses you too.
(Context: was trying to find the text of a version of the Guy Fawkes poem which ends 'are we glad that they stopped him or not?' Was not expecting this thing to run defence for the UK parliament 400 years ago)
Btw, if you ever wanted an indicator of the ideological censorship that now exists, and how pervasive it has become? The poem I was looking for, with its implication that maybe it might not have been a bad thing to blow up parliament way back when, was published in a children's book two decades ago. Without incident. Now I can't even SEARCH for that poem without receiving a telling off for its contents.
I love stuff like this. Didn’t a tribe in Africa send America some cows after 9/11? Like this is holy and the most valuable thing we have. We hear your suffering and want to do anything in our power to help
It was not a potato famine. The famine didn’t happen because of the potato yeald failing. Ireland was actually producing more than enough food. However it was almost all land owned by Brittish landowners, who took all of the food out of the country to sell in UK. Potato was what the Irish farmers ate, because it was cheep and could be produced in worst parts of the land, where more profitable food couldn’t be grown. When there were no longer potatos, the decision for the farmers was to either starve and sent the food as rent to the landlords or loose their homes and then starve.
The Brittish goverment was unwilling to do anything for two reasons. First was the laissez-faire capitalistic ideology, that put the rights of property owners to make profits above human lives. Rent freeze was unthinkable and they even were unwilling to do proper relief efforts as free food would lower the cost of food. The second reason was distain for the Irish, and the thought that they were “breeding too much” and the famine was a natural way to trim down the population, aka genocidal reasoning.
This is why it’s important to stress it was not a potato famine. The potato blinght was all over Europe but only in Ireland there was a famine. The reasons behind it had nothing to do with potatos and everything to do with the Brittish.
Apparently what made Choctaw want to offer relief to Irish was the news about the Doolough Tragedy. Hundreds of starving people were gathered for inspection to verify they were entitled to recieve relief. The officials would for *some reason* not do that and instead left to a hunting lodge 19 kilometers away to spend the night and said to the starvqing people they would have to walk there by morning to be inspected. The weather conditions were terrible and many of them died completely needlessly during the walk thoroung day and night.
This apparently reminded the Choctaw of their own very recent (and much more explicit and bigger scale) experiences of ethnic clensing, where they were forcibly relocated. It was basically a death march and thousands of Choctaw died from the terrible conditions also completely needlessly.
In 2015 a memorial named Kindred Spirits was installed in Southern Ireland to commemorate the Chactow donation.
funny thing about anxiety is sometimes it kind of breaks your sense of danger. like i am known for repeatedly putting myself in situations that make my friends go "bro you couldve died. werent you scared?" and the answer is 👍 yjeah. i did it scared. i do everything scared. i didnt know that was the actual important kind of scary because i usually have to ignore my fears to function in society. it will happen again. watch out.
The Court implies that individuals with profound cognitive disabilities cannot be "deprived" of liberty because their condition limits their ability to experience it—a view that devalues their fundamental rights.
They're actually treating disabled people *worse* than animals. They're taking away the independent investigation of conditions within involuntary inpatient care. An animal in a zoo has more oversight over their quality of life in captivity than disabled people have in inpatient settings under this ruling.
This is removing any external oversight of institutions that are already abusive.

What say you? Have some fun? Sure! How about it!
[before sharpest lives]
[Gerard]: Blood! Blood! Blood.
[before i don’t love you] [elexecution]
[Gerard]: Team effort! Alright, merry old fucking England! When you came in today—hold on, hang on, I’m getting water. This song’s really entertaining. It gets better the more you listen to listen to it over and fucking over again. Hold, please. ‘Cause you gotta stay hydrated. You don’t wanna—anyway, when you came in, you got one of these, right? You got one of these? So, one side, says yay! Everybody say yay! The other side says Nay! Alright. You guys have democracy or something like it here, right? We’re gonna try something out right now. See these people over here, with the hoods on and jumpsuits? They may have been [indistinct], they could be from the prison, who knows, it doesn’t say. Apparently they’re really bad people. I’ll take their word for it. So what we are going to decide right now, if they live or if they die! So. If they live, you don’t want them to die, you put the nay up. That’s how this works. Let me see the nays. Impressive! Let me see the yays. Fuck yeah. Alright, then. Let’s do this. Roll, please! Ready! Aim! Fire. That’s some gruesome fucking deaths we got here. That’s it! Get ‘em all off! Get them the fuck outta here. I don’t want what you’re selling. Yay! Didn’t that feel good?
[during mama][dagger part]
[Gerard]: Hello! How are you! How are you! You feeling better? Looking quite well! I’m gonna tell you a story, it’s a short story, trust me, it’s a short story. We were in jail, for something, like, two hundred and forty-seven years, and, after a while, you know, you’re there for a long time, you start to meet people, where I got this little dude, he’s the coolest. He’s the coolest, he gave me extra gruel, when he didn’t want—I don’t think he ate very much, I think he was made outta plastic, whatever[?]. And then he says, hey! I said what—he says hey! I’m bored of playing dice! No more dice for me! I said, what do you wanna do? He said, I want you to lean real close. I said okay. He said, I’m gonna whisper in your ear… something special for you…
[introducing Marianne]
[Gerard]: Marianne! We have Marianne back with us! Sure happy to see you, Marianne! Are you happy to see us? Sure you are. This is Marianne. She’s a wonderful singer. And she sings a part of this song, who was sung by a very big singer a very long time ago, she’s gonna help us tonight. What we’re gonna do today is, we’re gonna count her in. Y’all sing with us, alright? So we can all do it together. Goes like this. I said one. Two. And then you go, one, two, three, four. Let’s try it. Come on. How does that sound? Let’s try it. Now this time for real. Are you ready?
[before disenchanted]
[Projection guy]: Our time has come. The button pressed, and a simple act has meaning. A single word repeats across the stars, and then our hearts. Greatness. Then comes a time when all must ask, what cost to hide? What loss so great, to scrawl our names in sand? Or chisel them in concrete? Goodnight, my friends. Goodnight to all.
B STAGE

[indistinct] You get the thumbs up. They’re coming around. So, I was actually gonna say this, um, anyway, um, Liverpool is Frank’s favourite football team. Like, he’s fucking, way into it. [indistinct]. I used to go see the Cosmos from New Jersey. Have you seen the Cosmos? Who saw the Cosmos here? He did. My friend, he’s the only one here who saw the Cosmos. [at frank after the crowd chants] Look at him, look how fucking happy he is, man. Come on. Happiest fucking person in the room. Can we get over there? Can we g—we’re good. Okay. We’re gonna leave the lights on for this next song, though. ‘Cause it’s that kind of song.
[before helena]
[Gerard]: Alright, you can turn the lights off. You’re pretty, like, for real, I could’ve made, like, some stupid, ohh, they’re so ugly, turn ‘em off. ‘Cause it’s not true. You’re fucking pretty. That’s what it is, Frank. On the dead mic, he said, you’re too pretty. Can’t keep looking like that. That’s the way it goes. It’s like that. We have two more for you. Thank you so much. This is an amazing way to start the tour. Really appreciate it. [indistinct] we gonna do the intro to this one? What’re we gonna do? Okay—we’ll do that.
[before kids]
[Gerard]: Man, I see people, like, all different—all different ages, it’s really cool. Some of you older fans are having a really good time too. It makes me really happy, actually. I mean, of course it will. Not—not anybody older than me, but, y’know. Well, maybe a couple. That’s—that’s okay too. That’s totally—I give you permission. Alright, Liverpool, thank you so much. They don’t make ‘em older than me. They don’t. They surely don’t. [laughs] Surely. Let’s do it guys. What do you say? What do you say? This song is called ‘The Kids From Yesterday’. Now, this is definitely a song—that’s a better idea. I was gonna do lights.
