🕯️ Amnesty International mourns the deliberate killing of Al-Jazeera journalists including Anas Al-Sharif in a targeted Israeli strike near Gaza’s Al-Shifa Hospital. The attack is condemned as a war crime and an assault on press freedom. Justice and protection for journalists must prevail. #PressFreedom #Gaza https://www.amnesty.org.au/amnesty-condemns-the-deliberate-killings-of-al-jazeera-journalists-including-anas-al-sharif/ #rip 🕊️

I am a little sad that there is not a CBC headline/alert for #TomLehrer passing away.

Tom Lehrer was kind of the proto-Stephen Colbert and all the other public performing satirists. Just with a piano, instead of a full music video.

is his "We will all go together when we go”

really that much different from “Billionnaires are actually good”. There’s just a little more glitz in Colbert's version.

#RIP the legendary Tom Lehrer, 97: https://variety.com/2025/music/obituaries-people-news/tom-lehrer-dead-satirist-topical-singer-songwriter-1236471506/

3 years ago, he made all his songs #PublicDomain: https://tomlehrersongs.com/

(I still crack up every time I see the Aristotle version of "The Elements".)

Sheet music for "The Elements: lyrics by Aristotle, English version by Tom Lehrer." The lyrics are, in their entirety, "There's earth and air and fire and water."

Just saw the latest episode of Deep INsessioNZ. First I'd heard about Olie Bassweight passing 😥

https://www.freefm.org.nz/Programmes/Details.aspx?PID=97468cee-0f3c-4451-952a-8d2473baa59e

I met Olie when he helped us put on a J Day event when I was living in Te Whanganui-a-Tara, and active with NORML. He and his crew brought their sound system and tunes down to Frank Kitts Park and played throughout the event.

We didn't stay in touch but he was clearly a mainstay of the electronic music underground in Aotearoa. What a huge loss.
