Pharrell Williams singing "Happy" at an IDF fundraiser while Gerard Butler of very normal movie "300" looks on. That's entertainment.

 Until embarrassingly recently I laboured under the illusion most people in the arts weren't supporters of hell regimes.

 I thought people were a bit quiet because they were worried about their careers. Then I learned lots of them just don't give a single fuck.

 And then I realised lots of these star system casualties have the horrible politics of the average soulless business cockhead.

 Now I understand that if I can't feel any politics in a work of art it hasn't been misplaced, it's likely been surgically removed to suit a right wing agenda.

 It's horrible to discover that an artist is a fucking bootlicker who kicks down against the little people.
Anyway, my advice is don't enjoy anything, it's all poison. xx

Have a fucking crack

In the United States a cop murdered a black man by shooting him in the back, putting him on the ground with as many bullets as he could manage conveniently. He then faked up the crime scene, probably thinking (and quite rightly) that a little bit of stage magic would make the whole thing go away. Unfortunately for the badge wearing murderer the whole thing was caught on video. The only thing that remains is to see exactly how he eventually doesn't face justice. Because he won't. They never do. Black people in America are inconvenient. They were shipped in to build an empire and haven't had the sense to disappear now that they are no longer necessary. White people in America are largely desensitised to the brute facts of the thing: you used black people to build your empire of comfort, your Sloth Heaven and you don't even realise you want them dead. You live off the suffering of others and facing that fact would be so hard on yourself that it's easier to be philoso...

RIP Gough Whitlam

Gough Whitlam died today. The important difference between this event and his dismissal from the Prime Ministership in the Australian 1970's? There was no CIA involvement. I was a child in the 1970's. When I was old enough to ask, "What happened? How did that happen?" My elders told me they half expected at the time something like a civil war to break out. People were devastated, they were enraged, they were also electrified. The United States of America, to put it bluntly, includes Australia as a remote colony, an outpost. When Gough Whitlam threatened Pine Gap the CIA had to get involved. Pine Gap, located in remote Australia, is a key asset to United States air and space superiority. Many Australians are excited to be part of an Imperial power structure. Many powerful Australians are over the moon at the opportunity to be included in US games of global domination. Whether conspiracy, madness or just weakness, many Australians were quite happy for the US to take...

It's Best If You Think Of It As Black Comedy

I was eighteen and one of the peak local meatheads had just taken a shit in a neighbour's back yard, holding eye contact with the neighbour the whole time. This was Carrum in the eighties. Growing up we moved around a lot but finally settled on the most violent suburb around and there I remained from the age of twelve having horrible experiences until I was twenty-one. Carrum was a hate camp and by the time I left my main skill was drinking until I vomited. I was at the Prince of Wales in St.Kilda, blind drunk, and a friend of a friend offered to buy me a plane ticket so I could get away from all these people. 'These people' were the pissheads I gravitated to because hey, if everyone's drunk, everything's cool, but it wasn't cool, it was sad. Imagine that, a dude takes a shine to you and tells you you're wasting your talents. I didn't know I had any. Around the same time I overheard a friend say to another, "He has no idea how talented he is...
