It sounds like something from a bad Hollywood movie.

Checks to make sure they're not dissing Deep Impact.

Very cool. Are you meant to be piloting a Mark II or is it another fighter? It seems like the cockpit is far more exposed than what I imagine being in a Mark II to feel like. It's almost like you're on a surfski or canoe in space.

Woolworths in Australia has no relation to the US chain, they just share a name.

I miss the Foodworks near Newtown station. The ALDI that replaced it is so shit.

On Saturday the 25th of January, an Aboriginal inmate was bashed by the Correvtive Services Immediate Action Team at Long Bay Correctional Centre.

After being tear-gassed and beaten by officers, he sustained head lacerations, a broken eye socket, bronen ribs and ankle 

It has been reported that he has not received any medical treatment for the past 5 days nor has he eaten anything since the incident.

Fucking hell. Has this been reported elsewhere? A quick search turns up nothing so far.

The CBD skyline is shrouded in mist right now. I don't think it's technically fog but I wouldn't know.

I should have checked BOM before leaving house. Hope it doesn't piss down.

Apart from tomorrow the rest of the week looks fine. Bizarre random 42 degree day.

I edited the title to switch Apple with Labor because that's the real gist of the news item, not that they had worked and organised at Apple, although that's no small part.

I'm not sure if this paywalled so here is a archive.today link in case it is.

The Syrian Revolution (PDF)

This reader is a simple compilation composed out of 22 texts about the Syrian revolution. There is a common focus of the Western left, to which the editors count themselves, on North & Eastern Syria, the liberated area also called Rojava. Other parts of the struggle in this region have been widely sidelined. This has been criticised by many of the authors in this reader. Thus, the reader is an attempt to spread the views, ideas and efforts of revolutionary people in South and West Syria.

All texts have been published on websites, online archives, magazines before. The authors and interviewees have different approaches, views, and backgrounds. Readers are explicitly welcome to keep adding to and changing this compilation and spread it.
