Neoliberalism has been a creeping cancer since C1980. Some of us noticed the symptoms earlier than others but to some extent most of us were oblivious to the seriousness of the damage being done to society. People claiming that Gough, Hawke or Keating somehow masterminded it's development are

My elementary school had PET computers, c1980. You could check them out. I remember loading programs from the audio cassettes.

Everyone always wanted to play Tank, two players on one keyboard.

I "wrote" my very first basic program on one. So cool.

It would be a few years before we had an Apple.

Nor me, but I found my old denim jacket C1980 with flower embroidery & it’s right back in fashion! Several people when I’ve been out have asked me where I got it!! Perhaps I should’ve held on to a few bits, there’s certain dresses I still recall & regret letting go!

Climate science and modelling ceased to be useful for policy development C1980. Since then its main use has been complification and bad framing (eg carbon budgets) to promote policy delay in the service of the fossil carbon industry. Way too many climate scientists have been unwittingly complicit.

It was only a matter of time before I had to use the (only remaining) blank space offered by the inside of my front door for more #c18 #c18th #18thc engravings (one of them #Jacobite)

'The Music Room.' (c1980) This is the art of Peter Kelly who specialised in minimal and highly atmospheric interiors. You may well not have heard of him, but when you come across his work, you'll wonder why you haven't.

Imagine being at a Bad Brains show at Madam's Organ c1980 -the whole packed room jumping to their frenetic virtuosity- when you're assaulted from behind, legs forced apart at the knee...by a German Shepherd dog that's decided its route through the crowd is between your legs. Not soon forgotten.

Big Oil is an obstacle to climate action in the same way a serial killer is a threat to public safety. Since C1980 we've been whinging about oil companies like whinging at a desert because there's no water there. Governments have the power to end the industry and will do so under sufficient

A former girlfriend c1980 was going to get his portrait tattooed on her somewhere. We broke up before she did so I don't know if she has the tattoo done

The benefits of protected bike lanes are now so well demonstrated in so many jurisdictions that running surveys is probably just fuelling doubts. There comes a point (in climate discourse we passed it C1980) where more empiricism is counterproductive.

there's an odd thing that music often gets shitter around the turn of the decade:

- c1960: teen idols
- c1970: bubblegum pop
- c1990: Stock Aitken Waterman slop
- c2000: manufactured pop
- c2010: Cowellpop

I don't know whether that holds for c1980 though

What's actually causing the climate crisis Ed? Do you think it's worth mentioning. Because wanna be climate advocates have been using this strategy of campaigning from the "kitchen table" angle since C1980 and it didn't work then and it's not working now 🤷‍♂️

Doll 2 from car boot was a blonde haired Hornby Flower Fairy c1980's she came with a number of dresses & wings from other fairies for £10. These dolls about 7 inches tall, not particularly valuable but do make for a nice display.

Throwback Thursday!

This c1980 GEHS pic shows the gatekeeper's hut near Glenhuntly.

At a time where level crossing gates were manually operated, these huts provided not only shelter for gatekeepers, but also a place for a cheeky wank between trains.

Sculptor Isamu Noguchi gelatin silver print 1980 Arthur Mones (1919–1998) USA Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion will be exhibiting over sixty photographs of Jewish artists, composers, critics and playwrights in a retrospective of the portraiture of Arthur Mones. Mones spent decades capturing the singular intensity of individual artists among their notable work. Leonard Bernstein, Roy Lichtenstein, and Stephen Sondheim are among the many luminaries on view at the College-Institute from October 14 to February 12 at 1 W. 4th Street, New York City. The photographs, many of which have become the best-recognized public “face” of an artist, are accompanied by biographical details about the artists and their work. Mones states that “a successful portrait captures many aspects of the subject’s personality, places the subject within the world he has created, and must have a universality to raise it above being a good likeness into the realm of acceptance as a good photograph.” Arthur Mones, a graduate of the New York Institute of Photography in 1939, served as a U.S. Army Air Force photographer from 1941 through 1945. His travels in Sicily in 1978 resulted in his project, “Ruins,” and throughout Spain in the following year for his project, “Doorways.” Mr. Mones’s photographs are included in the permanent collections of the Brooklyn Museum, the Carnegie Institute, New York University Art Collection, and the New Orleans Museum of Art, among others.

La corde aux pieds, c1980.
Photo by Jean-François Jonvelle.
Fotografia in bianco e nero che ritrae una donna distesa a terra di spalle, vista dall'alto. La donna indossa solo uno slip chiaro e ha le caviglie legate insieme da una corda sottile. Una luce intensa filtra dall'alto attraverso una grata o un cannucciato, proiettando un motivo geometrico di ombre e luci a piccoli quadri su tutto il suo corpo e sul pavimento scuro. Accanto ai suoi piedi ci sono due sandali con la zeppa chiara lasciati a terra.

What we're talking about here is a crippling of vast areas of Earth's biosphere. To quote Woody from Toy Story "now is the perfect time to panic" [C1980 really but now is the second best time].

An original vintage dated 1980 oil on board titled "E.K. the Clown" painting by Grand Rapids, Michigan artist/writer/actor Tom Casaletto. A portrait of a pensive circus performer using oil paint on board, under glass, and with the original period wood frame and back papers signed by the artist. Though Casaletto apparently doesn't like to give out his exact age, I'm guesstimating that he was born about 1940 as he graduated from college in 1960 according to an online source. Over the years, he's been a professor of philosophy, an actor, an author, but most of all and most central to who he is, an artist, a painter. Here's a short bit that he wrote about his art: My work is quite personal – as art at its best ought to be. Art, particularly drawing and painting, is a language without words. I do not want to use my art language to say what other artists are saying. Using my own vocabulary of forms and colors, art allows me to say what I may not be ready to put into words. The symbolisms I resort to are my own. They well up from the larger mind – the subconscious – and are not easily read. As I see it, mystery, ambiguity, irony add to the joy of an artwork. For me, doing art is intuitive and experimental, a form of intense play with no concern for rules. This artwork measures 12.25" by 15" at outside of frame by just under 1" thick. Signed at front and back, and dated 1980 in both places, and with title on original back papers "EK the Clown". The painting has survived almost perfectly with no noted damage or wear to the artwork itself, though the frame and the back papers show wear and discoloration from age as shown. Excellent vintage condition.
