@MachalaaAgent Overanalysing him. He probably respects his father and his mother and doesn’t want to come between them.

@DavidWSWSarts V. much the appreciate the “heads-up” on this artist and Clifton Chenier today. As usual, it’s been an education and I will endeavour to go to the relevant music and search engines.

@DavidWSWSarts It’s going to start controversy corner on the Iberian peninsula however it must be said that the best political literary commentary on the Civil War contemporary to that time appears to have come from the U.K. and the U.S. Of course also Left Opposition and F.I.

@VenturCommunist @DavidWSWSarts @BlankReportCard Fair comment.

[Matthew Collins @Matthew95067823]

@DavidWSWSarts His attitude coming from super-heterogeneous Louisiana and not a whiff of elitism about it. This seems to be a common thread in large parts of south, both African-American, European-American or Creole.

George Orwell (1903) – Homage to Catalonia was the high point of his political and intellectual contribution. His rightward trajectory over the last decade of his life can only be understood by tracing the evolution of a generation of left intellectuals during this period.

@DavidWSWSarts That’s David Walsh’s own foto on the right, it is accredited to him at WSWS.

@info_cinemaCAT Time is ticking, c’mon!

[David Walsh @DavidWSWSarts]

Brian Wilson (1942) – Beach Boys songs “have their inane features, but how many generations of middle or working class young people before the Wilson brothers' had had the opportunity to enjoy the experiences those themes invoke? There is something celebratory about the music.”

@DavidWSWSarts Sounds very much like Trotsky’s appraisal of the Tsar in “The History of the Russian Revolution”.

@DavidWSWSarts How can it be!? 112 individual impressions but less than the last two “On This Day”/ biographies, even though Geronimo has double the “likes” and reposts.
Censorship and algorithm.
Elon Musk is a trillionaire.
Twitter must be expropriated.

The late Hassan Nasrallah dropped a truth bomb that still triggers people:

It’s not Israel controlling America.
America controls Israel.

Forget the lazy “Zionist lobby runs Washington” cope. Nasrallah called it straight > the real power sits in U.S. corporate boardrooms and evangelical Christian Zionist circles, not Tel Aviv.
Israel isn’t the puppet master. It’s the outpost. The forward base. The expensive, heavily armed extension of American power in the region.
Just like it was once Britain’s tool, now it’s Washington’s.
The senior partner makes the calls.

The junior partner does the heavy lifting and takes the blame.

That flips the entire script most people in the Arab world (and plenty in the West) have been running with for decades.

🥂Congratulations @MaryKostakidis on winning the 2026 Gary Webb Freedom of the Press Award presented by Consortium News at a ceremony in Sydney on Sunday. Previous winners were Oliver Stone, Julian Assange and John Pilger.

Geronimo (1829) – Apache military leader, frequently led large parties of warriors. “Accounts of American democracy that evade the far-reaching implications of the crimes committed against the people already inhabiting the North American continent are shot through with hypocrisy”

Ten years since the murder of British Labour MP Jo Cox by a British fascist assassin.

I am furious about this. Penny Wong joins 22 nations in condemning Iran. The US has carried out an ILLEGAL WAR on Iran. And Yet Wong is signing letters that condemn Iran. The USA has attacked Iran illegally and yet the Aust govt were the first to raise their hands in favour of war. There have been no Iranian attacks on Aust soil. Wong must produce evidence. We don't believe her. Israel should not be just condemned but sanctioned and overthrown. Power to the Palestinian People. https://t.co/2siFXvMczw

Aust govt is complicit in Genocide in Gaza as it cuts funding for people with disabilities in Australia. Is there a connection? Yes. Capitalism. Labor support and defend the continued existence of Israel, while facilitating their crimes by supplying them with critical military equipment. All the while claiming disability funding must be cut to "save the NDIS" Save it against what? the Oligarchs who are not prepared to pay for services to the disabled. End capitalism. Expropriate the Rich. https://t.co/2siFXvMczw

@DavidWSWSarts “An Irish Airman Forsees His Death” my favourite, close second “Second Coming”. The recently departed David Malouf suggested youth should learn the former as one of their first poems and I concur.

Kira Rossler (1961)
Had awesome job of replacing Black Flag’s Chuck Dukowski for “Sabbath/proto-grunge”-era records, the band were going “jazz”, she was the perfect fit. She had an agreement with the band for time-off to take post graduate study, now a Hollywood “script doctor”.
