Open call for obsolete sounds! This project is really fascinating. They're requesting recordings of sounds from our environment, old tech, etc. that are no longer commonplace and then those will be reimagined by sound artists "to draw attention to the world’s disappearing soundscapes." https://citiesandmemory.com/2022/05/open-call-your-field-recordings-of-obsolete-sounds-wanted/

Andrew Probyn referring to “teal and green invaders” on ABC today so I guess Australian political journalists have learned nothing so far.

“As David Pocock looks set to oust Zed Seselja and become the first ACT senator from a minor party…”
JFC I know the ABC has had budget cuts but did anyone read this before they hit “publish”? He’s an independent, despite illegal attempts to paint him as some kind of Greens stooge.

This is not Twitter, I don't want to see it. I don't even want to see it _over there_
A friend claimed that I’m “not on social media” yesterday which I thought was cute.

The real story for the right of Australian politics isn’t that they collectively lost their heartland in the inner cities. It’s that the Liberal Party nationwide now have (probably) only one seat more than Queensland’s LNP.
The Nationals are now running the coalition.
