I took my kids to see Marcus Graham perform Pericles at the Sydney Opera house. When it finished, kid 2, who was about 11, leapt out of their seat and shouted, 'that was fucking awesome, Mum!'

Frey & McGray #7 The Sign of the Devil by Óscar de Muriel It's a re read, the audiobooks are fantastic!

Cover of The Sign of the Devil. Snow piled up, an emerald ring, a gravestone with the devil's mark on it - horns and angry eyes - wrought iron gates and dark clouds in the sky.

Reading the Silver Book by Olivia Lang about Fellini, Danilo Donati, and Pasolini. "Fascism never really went away, it just changed form, went underground, periodically exploding back into day light."

There is no such thing as the past, Pasolini likes to say. It constantly invades the present. Danilo believes this is true. He knows what happened in Salo isn’t over. He knows how easily it could return. Fascism never really went away, it just changed form, went underground, periodically exploding back into the daylight. If you believe Pasolini, if you read the articles he’s been publishing in Corriere, the signs are everywhere. The bombing in Milan in 1969, the attempted coup in 1970, the bombing in Brescia last May, only twenty miles from Salo: all these things signify that fascism is still alive, still straining at the leash. But Danilo knows, too with the same kind of sideways seeing, that his friend is in hell, that he is totally alone, and that the film is coming from this desperate place, this place of desolation. If it’s hard to watch, how much harder to live. Make the film, he thinks to himself. Make it like an exorcism. Then let’s see where we are.

Trump gets upset if a performer cancels their concert, but it doesn't matter if HE cancels their performances.

A central charge of the investigation is that the Kennedy Center is providing preferential access and financial benefits to organisations connected to the Trump administration and its allies. According to a contract, Grenell granted world football’s governing body, Fifa, free and exclusive use of the entire Kennedy Center campus from 24 November to 12 December for the World Cup draw.

Estimates provided by Whitehouse show this will cost the Center $5,038,444 in losses from direct rental fees, programming rescheduling, labour, food and beverage and other services. Multiple events were cancelled or rescheduled to accommodate Fifa.

After two hours, the event reached its logical conclusion: political speeches. J.D. Vance went first. “June 14 is of course the birthday of the Army,” Vance said. “It is, of course, the birthday of the president of the United States. And Happy Birthday, Mr. President.” He delivered the laugh line of the night, “It’s also my wedding anniversary,” he said before immediately leaving the stage.

Drop a movie that you flat out refuse to watch again. Savages (2012) - it choked on the ending; then literally rewound it and gave you a different ending.

If you see this, post the most recent picture of yourself on your camera roll.

A bright pink car is parked under a Norfolk pine tree. An older lady stands against the car. She is wearing a tulle floating skirt that is EXACTLY the same shade of pink as the car.

oh man, I liked #CreativeLive as a site and I have got hours of great courses there. #1 gallup Input, and #2 Learner, baby! I have tried to tell them but this stuff just keeps showing up every week. I reckon it must be running on fumes...

An email post from CreativeLive that seeks to inform me of the courses playing for free this week. It is completely absent of text except for on the RSVP button and this is utterly BLOODY useless.

"So there you have it: Zuck bought Insta to neutralize a competitor, and after he did, he lowered its quality and raised its prices, because he knew that he was operating without significant competitors thanks to his acquisition of that key competitor. Zuck's motivations – as explained by Zuck himself – were in direct contravention of antitrust law, a thing he knew (because his execs explained it to him). That's a pretty good case."

tweet from Evan Urquhart @e_urq
it reads: You don't have to be that gung-ho on trans rights to realise that a world where girl's genitals need to be inspected before they can play any sport is worse for girls than a world where once in a while there's a trans girl on a girls' team.
