A new #ACFM on Resilience. Nadia Idle, @jemgilbert.bsky.social, and I discuss the use of resilience in neoliberal management speak, the problems with using resilience and collapse as a framing for climate change, and ask if the sense you're part of a wider, ongoing movement can form left resilience.

Axegrinder’s Rise of the Serpent Men remains an excellent if cheesy classic. I struggle with the first song, Never Ending Winter, as this is objectively the worst time for serpent men to attempt a rising.

I walked along the Brisbane River from Roma St to Tenerife ferry terminal, via South Bank and the Story Bridge. I saw a stick that asked if I wanted to ‘view the world differently’. It had a QR code. I scanned it. It was an ad for sunglasses. Fuck off.

Why is #deadloch season 2 so much worse than the brilliant season 1? I think because the latter was a humorous critique from within a works, season 2 is painted on politics and cultural sneering.
