I saw the trailer for Cats and it was so bad I wanted to make art about it. Pop culture under capitalism is often a series of very public abortions that somehow implicate everybody. I look at this shit and wonder why the kind of dreams I have when I ate too much before bed are on a screen. The trailer for Cats looks like people with no self awareness deep down wanted to make a horror movie. It looks like it's supposed to kill brain cells. It looks like a black magic curse that will damn you to wanting to fuck your cat. The sound of a scrotum being peeled off a vinyl couch would be sexier. I can't comment on the comedic aspects without triggering feelings of wanting to die. Cats is an Andrew Loyd Weber joint, he's the Spike Lee of making a musical about a fascist's wife. Conservatives can make good art, but when it's bad you feel like it's your urgent mission to take down a ring of child traffickers. When conservatives make bad art yo...

Unrest around the world. Clashes with police. There's so much happening and the police are always there, making whatever is happening much worse. Some people believe cops are necessary. Because their brother is a cop and my cop brother says oh yeah it's disgusting when protesters are brutalised, I don't like it at all. If only we could harness that “I was talking to my cop brother” energy. The raw and intense power of a cop saying self serving things to people who want to think well of him. What a force for change that could be. All around the world, cops are whining to their families. What a revolution. I get goosebumps. People will tell you politicians are a necessary evil, but people also unconditionally love cops. As if they're a tribe of magical creatures holding back evil with just the purity of their hope. But w e sh ould disband the police. They don't do anything. Abolish the police. J ust yesterday the New South Wales...

Mere days after State Premier Daniel Andrews angrily applauded violent police, protesters created a healing and cleansing walk of shame for conference attendees.

Bolivian leader Evo Morales has stepped down with a gun to his head and fled to Mexico but mainstream media refuse to call it a coup. A democratically elected leader steps down under threat of death to himself, loved ones and followers and mainstream media can't call it what it is. News of the Hong Kong uprising is routinely reported from the point of view of the police. People in 9 more countries are rising. But t he supposedly sensible news outlet s of this world are never, ever on the side of the people. The occasional story slips through, but then it's right back to the Marvel blo c kbuster view that brave police are trying to contain unrest, as if freedom is a chemical spill that will destroy the world if it's not contained. Everywhere we see that the people are not to be trusted with their own future. I believe people are fucking idiots but that's because our heads are pumped full of shit b y the people in charge. And w atching intell...

In Australia right wing figures spout off, their saliva spray is repeated by idiots on social media and this is then discussed on all the morning TV shows as if any of it is real. It's an evil rumour factory and the truth, facts and even questions are not welcome. Of course you can ask questions, but you can't step take a step back and ask the question, “Are we all talking shit?” Anyone who asks that question is a silly monkey, because there is no money in hanging onto to the truth. Terrifying bushfires have launched many Australians into a bitchfest of epic proportions. Their heads filled with rumours, they will blame the situation on anyone as long as it's no one in power. It's amazing how disciplined they are. For people who shit in their own hands they're very careful about who they throw it at. It's almost as if these foaming at the mouth knobheads aren't insane. It's as if they somehow know exactly what they're doing. In Australia...

Yesterday was the first time since invasion that no rain fell anywhere in Australia. Thanks to the racism of invasion, land management practices honed over tens of thousands of years have been ignored and the country may as well now be extensively rigged with explosives. Climate change plus the colonial practices of draining land of all life, today leaves a city of 6 million people at risk of devastation. The fire won't burn all of Sydney, but no part of it is safe. People will be fleeing disaster on roads that follow paths maintained by first nations people for thousands of years. People will be running for their lives on land that has only become dangerous thanks to invader stupidity. Invader stupidity has it's own traditions: never look to the cause of a problem, always blame a scapegoat, keep doing what you're doing because that's how we farkern do it and of course during a disaster get very angry at anyone pointing out why it's happenin...

A little poem about the country I love. Why is Australia so shit? Australians love cops despite considering themselves practical cowboys with big individual dicks. In a country like France, in a city like Paris, it's normal for protesters to fight the cops, but when was the last time that happened here? Australians love to think of themselves as no bullshit legends who wouldn't dream of a breaking a rule or a law but here in Melbourne our public transport system is it's own police state and punters just go along with it. The Aussie who is irreverant and has a bloody laugh is usually just a bully whose found an easy target. We celebrate shitcunts who would be bashed to death on any other continent. Australia is the driest continent on Earth and the biggest circle jerk on the planet. When I was a kid I thought Australians were up for anything, but that was all propaganda, we are as inward looking as Americans, militantly unaware of anything real an...

Last week I took the hat off a policeman's head and my only regret is I didn't have time to shit in it. This cop with his own special little hat was one of many public servants assaulting p eople outside a mining industry conference. Victoria Police, an unaccountable tribe so up their own hole that when they see themselves brutally attacking protesters on TV they say, “Look, daddy's on TV!” If my home was robbed I would call a cop and it would make me feel dirty. As climate change grips the planet, sociopathic institutions defend psychopathic businesses and us people have to find ways to fight both them and a conservative Australian public that has a large screen TV in every room in the house.  The mining industry is a mass murdering horror show so of course Victoria Police protected that conference like it was their own inbred child. The police used chemical weapons like they were trying to beat a world record. C ops were using batons on ...
