I'm a political nerd going through a manic phase after a depressive low, resulting in a fireworks display of opinions and ideas and a dark sense of humour.
I grew up listening to the @bbcworldservice. I couldn't wait to finish school and head to London. I went to art school and d̶i̶d̶ a̶n̶ e̶x̶c̶h̶a̶n̶g̶e̶ y̶e̶a̶r̶ Down and Out in Paris... I made it to Obama's 2nd Inauguration when I was living in New York, but there were so many people I didn't make it onto the Mall. I am a politics nerd/news junkie, political commentator, provocateur, satirist, selfless corrector of @SkyNewsAust "articles", clarifier of conspiracy theories, bleeding heart liberal, gay man and advocate, and proud Dad to 3 sausage dogs (yes, rescues). I have had to type this post out so many times because @elonmusk's AI keeps deleting it.
I grew up in the Western world where @rupertmurdoch controls what everyone sees and believes😵💫, and I believe @realDonaldTrump is either the most despicable human being or the greatest performance artist of all time. I take my inspiration from them both for dis/information, an installation artwork of online spaces working together to point out hypocrisy, and troll the trolls.
Art critic: "Disinformation is the defining characteristic of our time.
And this is art of our time."

Pauline Hanson adopting Gina Rinehart’s plan to get people in their 70s and 80s back to work is inspiring stuff.
My grandmother just turned 103 and is pretty lazy these days. Perhaps it's time for Gina to harden her up with a job in the mines.
VIDEO | "They said that [if] you target Israel, we will target you and your family, you have been warned."
In a recent interview with Al Arabiya English, International Criminal Court Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan revealed that he, ICC jurists, and UN personnel have been subjected to direct threats targeting their families after pursuing war crimes cases against Israeli leaders.
The coercion intensified following a formal letter from 12 US senators explicitly warning Khan that targeting Israel would prompt Washington to target him and his relatives.
Everyone needs to see this!
Bill Maher to JD Vance: "Here's my deal breaker for your side. Okay. Under Trump, you guys have two outcomes in an election can be. Either we win, or they cheat it. That shit has to stop. "
The UN couldn't print the names of Palestinian children murdered and maimed by Israel.
Why?
Because they feared Israel would respond by killing and maiming the families of the children.
WWII Veteran and Purple Heart recipient Robert Hilliard:
"Next week I'll be 101 years old. In February 1944 when I was 18 years old I was inducted into the army and what they taught me to do there was to kill people who set up detention camps. Can you imagine how I felt earlier this year when they announced that one of the future detention camps would be at that same camp landing in Florida? We have a fascist, a fascist government, that allows innocent people to be put in detention camps and incarcerated."
