Speaking out on Gaza: Australian creatives and arts organisations struggle to reconcile competing pressures - by Walter Marsh

'...Nam Le, the newly crowned book of the year winner at the New South Wales Literary awards, asked a Sydney audience whether the โ€œgoal of multiculturalism should be coexistence or cohesionโ€.

โ€œIf cohesion, how do we make sure that โ€˜social cohesionโ€™ doesnโ€™t become โ€˜social coercionโ€™ โ€“ a means of preserving the status quo, of preserving power?โ€ Le asked, in a speech delivered by his manager.

Like De Kretserโ€™s, Leโ€™s words would only become more pointed as the week progressed.

โ€œWhat good is harmony if it only and always exists on terms dictated by power? If itโ€™s built on injustice, or enforced civility โ€“ enforced silence?โ€'

Jellyfin/YT/Twitch TV box (Raspberry pi 4)


I had a Rapsberri Pi 4 (4GB) laying around and installed kodi/libreelec to use it with my TV.

I need it to do 3, maybe 4 things, but the experience was rather underwhelming.

  1. Jellyfin client
    I run a jellyfin server on my NAS. The jellyfin add-on needs several seconds or even a minute plus to load the content of big folders.

Jellycon has a different approach, but doesn't let me browse folders, which is a must for me (I use pinchflat to download some videos from YouTube channels. They are organized in folders)

  1. YouTube
    Ideally I would love a freetube client for watching one off videos or finding a video on a certain topic. The YouTube add-on requires API access, sadly.
  2. Twitch
    The add-on works great.
  3. Remote
    I have a IR Mini Keyboard that works great with Kodi/libreelec

I was considering installing a lightweight Linux distro and installing freetube and a browser for twitch and jellyfin.

Does anyone use similar hardware? Is there a better solution for my use case?

(If there is a better affordable hardware solution, I'm interested as well)

Tapbit Crypto Exchange


Has anyone successfully withdrawn money from tapbit.com? I sold about $7k worth of coin now they are making it impossible to withdraw, requiring ID verification that involves submitting the front and back of your drivers license along with a picture of your holding the license and a piece of paper with tapbit and the date written on it. They claim my driver's license is unclear even though it is as sharp as one could possibly get and they claim my picture is invalid but give NO explanation of what that means.

Ya sabรฉis que a veces me gusta ver truecrime, principalmente de usa.
Bueno, me gustan un par de tipos concretos de true crime, el detectivesco que describe cรณmo se atrapรณ al asesino, y el que analiza el contexto del asesino. La mayor parte de lo que te encuentras es hiper sensacionalista con mucha mรกs opiniรณn de testigos con ganas de llamar sus 5 minutos de fama que realmente con informaciรณn relevante.

La cosa es que las dos temporadas que llevo hay cosas que se repiten todo el rato. Si bien la serie se parte de la idea de que hay gente mala y se centra en la culpa(real) de sus familiares por no haber sido capaces de detectar ese mal o hacer algo, pasa completamente de soslayo por los problemas de la sociedad americana y que se repiten una y otra vez en todos los casos. Voy a hablar de 3 (o 4, este comรบn).
in reply to Petarda & Spiders from Mars

En prรกcticamente todos los casos de asesinos de mujeres sus esposas e hijos cuentan que el asesino era un maltratador/abusador domรฉstico. Mujeres encerradas en casa (con llave), controladas, violadas por sus maridos, golpeadas y amenazadas de muerte continuamente, hijos golpeados, abusados etc. Y luego descubren que el asesino habรญa ido dejando cadรกveres de mujeres por ahรญ, quiรฉn lo hubiera imaginado.

Clapping, cheering. Fucked around and found out.

Passenger planes disappearing from Israel.

That's what happens when you fight an actual country with a functioning military rather than 6 year old children.

Lest we forget: by far, the biggest threat to global peace is the American empire and Zionist, Apartheid Israel, at present engaged in 620 days of livestreamed genocide mass-murdering civilian women/children/the elderly/the ill in Palestine supported by the state terrorism of Western nations including the US, UK, Canada, Germany, France ..

This Was All So Very Avoidable - by Caitlin Johnstone


#geopolitics #imperialism #war

I have never in my life been more worried about a coming false flag attack than I am right now. There are powers who will easily have the means, motive and opportunity to pull off such an operation in order to drum up support for the US entering Israelโ€™s war.


โ–

When Israel started bombing Iran I wrote a piece joking that The New York Times was about to publish a bunch of articles about antisemitism and what an innocent little victim Israel is. Today, as a nightmare military conflict unfolds that Israel started without any provocation whatsoever, The New York Times editorial board has published an article titled โ€œAntisemitism Is an Urgent Problem. Too Many People Are Making Excuses.โ€

You really canโ€™t satirize these freaks.

I've had this word "eschatology" on my mind lately and was wondering what it might mean. My own best effort at translating it was "enshittification".

Looking up the term in the Book of Knowlege, it turns out that the term specifically pertains to bad things, basically shit happening in the end times. So I wasn't even that far off at all.

@Lydie hindustan times themselves is plenty reputable. they are always specific in relating what is confirmed versus what is said by who. further, both cnn and al jazeera are explicitly stating that there are four places in israel that were attacked that they cannot talk about. the country is under a military censor. israel is paying a price they did not expect.

Egypt's Crackdown on the Global March to Gaza

Instead of receiving permission from #Egyptian authorities to march to the Rafah border crossing, participants have been subject to hotel raids, harassment, arrests, and deportations.

from #DropSiteNews
Ahmed Dahaby
Jun 14, 2025

"CAIRO, EGYPTโ€”On Friday, some 200 participants in the Global March to Gaza were stopped at a security checkpoint outside of #Cairo, #Egypt as they made their way to Ismailia, a city on the Suez Canal 80 miles east of Cairo. After being held at the checkpoint for several hours and having their passports temporarily confiscated, marchers were physically dragged onto buses back to Cairo by plainclothes security officials. Other participants who separately managed to reach the hotel in Ismailia were similarly rounded up, some beaten and forced onto buses back to Cairo."

>> In parallel with protesters flying into Cairo, a convoy of thousands set off over land from Algeria earlier this week, โ€ฆ gathering people along the way. The โ€œSumoud [Steadfastness]โ€ convoy โ€ฆ aimed to reach Egypt by June 15 to join the Global March to Gaza but was stopped in the city of Sirte on June 12 by authorities governing eastern Libya.

>> #Egypt remains tethered to the 1979 Camp David Accords โ€ฆ It is the second largest recipient of US military aid in the world after Israel. For years, Egypt, โ€ฆ has coordinated with Israel on security and helped enforce the blockade on the territory. After Abdel Fattah El-Sisi came to power in 2013, Egyptian authorities also destroyed the tunnels that provided a lifeline to Gaza, and have allowed Israeli drones, helicopters and warplanes to carry out a covert air campaign in Sinai.

I wake up at Jaffa being bombed last night. And for once after two years going to sleep crying for all the MURDERING AND SUFFERING IN #GAZA, today, I think that at last that 87% of israelian that want Palestinians out of "their" country and don't care about the Gaza Holocaust; they surely were TERRIFY. And you know what? I think is a bit of Poetic Jusctice.
Don't forget that #IsraelTerroristState KEEPS MURDERING PALESTINIANS BY THE HUNDREDS EVERYDAY.
For once, let Israel feel what a Palestinian mother feels for her children being under the rubble.

@Disisdeguey๐Ÿ”ปPavlichenko๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธ Unfortunately, the only way a country of sadistic psychopaths can get an inkling of empathy is for someone to inflict the same death, terror, and pain upon them as they have been inflicting upon others.

Time to stop buying the God's chosen bullshit. The only way these bastards are God's chosen is if their God is Satan.
