I don't know Doug, but after all your years hanging out with them, don't you have any insights to share with the public about what happened? I'm waiting. It seems you can't analyse anything and are just trying to rally people around your current position. Could the same thing have happened to them?

If Iranian agents had overthrown the democratically elected government of the US in 1958 and installed a dictator, then Americans would probably be chanting "Death to Iran" since 1978. Trump did that (and did his own coup) without any Iranian attacks on the US. How stupid are you, fuckwit?

Obviously, you are an amoral, racist shit-for-brains, or you wouldn't have that opinion. So you can fuck off and keep on fucking off until every genocide supporter like you has been convicted of their crimes and Israel no longer exists.

While on a stroll on an absolutely glorious NYC autumn day, passing by 210 West 14th Street, where Marcel Duchamp had his studio from 1943 until his death in 1968, and where he produced his final work, Étant Donnés. Above front doorway, relief of an artist at work with brush in hand

If it is separation from god for all eternity, then it is bound to happen on death to all who believe in god.

Yes, you did vote for this. You indicated a preference for the ALP, and in Australia's narrowing democracy, that counts as giving Albo permission to do whatever he wants because the Constitution gives you little to no rights. Ignorance is not an excuse because the ALP had form for doing this.

Reading Lester Bangs again after many years, and man, does he rock, with every long, salty sentence of passionate, informed, honest, raving madness he lays down.

Two Renoir paintings stolen from a museum in southern France last month have been found, and six people arrested, local authorities said.

Many of them need to be arrested at the border for war crimes and genocide, and then held in detention until trial.

in the art fraud world, faking a signature is the killing stroke for a legal case. the smart fraudsters let a faked artwork work its way through a series of deniable attributed-to's and in-the-manner-of's and let the buyer fill in the blanks.

Interesting thing about that, from an Australian perspective, is that then Attorney-General Robert Menzies toured Nazi Germany the following year, a few months before Kristallnacht; spoke highly of Herr Hitler on his return. He first became Prime Minister in December 1939.

Why not both?

The choice was always an illusion; it was never fair, free, or democratic elections in Australia, I know that, but I like to rub Australians' noses in the shit that they have talked for decades.

@mholsworth.bsky.socialOct 3, 2026, 10:07 PM

Betrayed? No, Australia chose Team Genocidal Lunatics long ago. Australians voted repeatedly to give the duopoly Australia to do whatever they wanted with it. Australians never voted for human rights or any constitutional power to limit the duopoly, and consistently voted for the duopoly.

Australians are amongst the best in the world at normalising something completely fucking insane.
