We're currently fixing the bottom element of our oven as it isn't working at all. Quote from the repairman to buy the part & install it had the part listed at around $200. A quick Google search for the same part has prices ranging from $20 (requires shipping from China) to $80 (ie Bunnings, other local appliance parts online stores). When questioned, the repairman claimed they couldn't find that price. Yeah ok mate, sure.

Don't be afraid to question your quotes!

I missed seeing this incredible piece from 2021 Australian of the Year Grace Tame when it was posted on Friday. A great summary of the forces that beat down on anyone who speaks up against the status quo.

"I shouldn’t have to say this, but I’m currently up against a well-oiled, well-funded political propaganda machine whose aim is to frighten everyone into complicity by maligning its critics. We’re living in an Orwellian nightmare. The same powerful democracies that are bombing and starving children to death throughout the Global South are portraying anti-war protestors as a threat to social cohesion."

"When Pauline Hanson called First Nations Senator Lidia Thorpe a “bitch” under parliamentary privilege just days ago, the media hardly flinched. Because such behaviour is normal for Hanson? Because her target was a black woman? Because the press is a racist extension of our political landscape that can only empathise with echoes of itself? Or all of the above?"

Good golly it was dark for a long time this morning. Did sunrise get pushed back about half an hour within a few days or something?

Another great writeup from Rex Patrick, highlighting a clear overview of the parliamentary processes that led to the terrible FOI Amendment Bill getting discharged.

Glad this got passed. I'm sure the details of the bill aren't perfect, but it's one small step towards taxing the very wealthy.

This morning's listen as I ease back into the work week after the long weekend. If you're a fan of more recent Godspeed You! Black Emperor, you'll probably dig this. The only genre tag on the #Bandcamp page is experimental which is nice because I've got no idea what you'd call this.

To this day, each listen of Genghis Tron's 'Dream Weapon' feels fresh and exciting. To my knowledge, they didn't tour the album anywhere, they kinda just dropped it after a 13 year hiatus, then faded into the abyss. So mysterious. The LP often gets a play when I'm home alone and preparing a dinner. https://genghistron.bandcamp.com/album/dream-weapon #music #experimental #rock
