University of Sydney one of 15 higher education institutions not to have a position on the voice. Shameful decision @Sydney_Uni Silence is political- your position is actually a decision. https://t.co/OUXOdCMUGe
I keep bursting into tears about Sinead O’Connor. Don’t know why.
Maybe because she was “one of us”…
One of “us”, that is…
If we were braver
More clear sighted
Had more genius and damage boiling in our blood
The “us” we might be if we were not so afraid of power
If we were willing to lose it all for the sake of the truth 🙌💔
She walked upon the lion and the cobra, and wrought beauty from ugliness. A powerful voice, a powerful presence, rooted in fierce independence, vulnerability and determination. Grateful we had you, Sinead.
The greed is almost a legendary comic trope - one fun fact - when I was a youngin- I did a film (with a boom box ) and somehow I got points - net not gross.
Never expected to see any money - but the film became quite famous - so about 10 years ago - I looked again at the financial statements they were obligated to report - and to my shock - they claimed they had LOST 44 million dollars on the film -
I thought wow , I almost bankrupted Fox! ( not really )
The film cost about 13 million to make - and money spent to release was minimal at the time - 30 years in - that film lost millions every year ! A neat accounting trick don’t ya think ?
So the three MCC members suspended for their behaviour in the Long Room are (and I kid you not)...
