Keeping this live for now, but I'll do most of my posting over on Bluesky from now on: (at) drsmorgan (dot) com
I don't really post on here anymore because fascism, but this time next week, I'll be collapsed in a pool of sweat somewhere on Hackney Marshes, with my only consolation being that I've raised money for the brilliant @CLAPACOMMUNITY.

Hana, our youngest member of Parliament, has taken our resistance to this divisive bill global - it’s on all the news, everywhere.
I am so proud of her leading the way! 🥺🖤🤍❤️
Since somebody just like this twenty year old tweet, I present you with PROOF that I was a Sarah Snook stan way before ALL you mf'ers.
Mixed review for Spierig Bros' PREDESTINATION from @guardianfilm, but raves for the very excellent Sarah Snook. gu.com/p/3nd2m/tf #SXSW

So Victorian police have evidence the firebombing of Burgertory, owned by Palestinian Hash Tayeh, was linked to the genocide in Palestine but they said on the record, and continue to say, it had nothing to do with race, religion, or politics. Nor will they explain why. Okay
I'm only four decades behind the curve, but holy shit, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds are fucking ace live.
Although Warren Ellis is the real star, and now I mostly want what I've always really wanted, to see The Dirty Three live.
Adelaide folks: go see thee amazing @jeffrosenstock.

Maccabi Tel Aviv fans were filmed chanting racist, genocidal slogans. They were also reportedly attacking local Muslims.
For the BBC to fail to mention this in its reporting of the violence in Amsterdam last night is disgraceful. Sky the same. /1

This morning , I recorded a thing for an upcoming @indicatorseries blu-ray, and this afternoon, I came home to a box of treats from @SeverinFilms.
Physical media roolz ok.
That STIR blu will sit nicely alongside the VHS I bought in a charity shop a while back. xitter.cf/stemorgs/status/142543…
Given my interest in the UK circulation of Australian cinema, I've long been tempted to start collecting films on 'obsolete' formats. I've (mostly) resisted, but couldn't go past this post-Scum VHS of STIR (1980). #AllScrewsAreScum
Needed something, anything else, so finally catching up with WEIRD: THE AL YANKOVIC STORY. Just spent an entire scene trying to figure out who plays the record exec only to look it up and realise that the reason the dude looked so damn familiar is because he's actual @alyankovic.

Not satire. Israeli ambassador condemning children for “world peace” drawings hanging at the UN.
Israeli Ambassador to the UN, Danny Danon, demands the removal of children’s paintings depicting world peace at the main entrance of the UN building. “Nothing about Israel. Nothing about our hostages… This is shameful,” Danon said.
The Israeli military has killed more children in Gaza over the past year than were killed in any single year of conflict over the past two decades, an Oxfam analysis found.
