I love this song, and the video suits it perfectly. Epic, crazy, and NSFW.
The Legislative Assembly passed a Greens bill earlier this month allowing gay couples to recognise their relationship with a legal ceremony.
Warren McGaw and Chris Rumble - who have been together for nearly 20 years - celebrated their civil partnership at the Old Parliament House rose gardens this afternoon.
They say they are excited to be the first couple to take advantage of the legislation.
“We thought we’d take this opportunity not only for gay couples Australia wide … but just for human rights,” Mr McGaw said.
Let’s hope the Feds keep their hands off this.
Powerful and sad work…really worth checking regularly though.

This is about one hour of firefly activity near my home in rural Ontario. The precision of the background star trails is an interesting contrast to the chaotic pattern of the firefly flashes.
The White House said today it would go to the Copenhagen climate change summit with a proposed target for reducing greenhouse gas emissions after facing international pressure to commit to stronger action on climate change.
An administration official told reporters that President Barack Obama would propose the targets before the climate meeting, which is less than three weeks away. The move removes the biggest obstacle to a political deal at Copenhagen.
America is the only major industrialised country that has yet to reveal its emissions reduction plan. The official did not give details on the stringency of the proposed cuts, but it is thought likely they would range from 14% to 20% from 2005 levels – still below those put forward by the EU and other industrialised countries.

As CPJ points out, I am merely “the latest on a long list of foreign journalists who have been targeted by the government for their news coverage”.Not forgetting, of course, the many Singaporean journalists who have been forced out of their jobs or sidelined after crossing the government’s deliberately unclear line of acceptability.
This is a sad paradigm of the state in which journalists have to operate in Singapore, such that almost all aspiring journalists I’ve spoken to are dead set on working abroad to avoid compromising their journalistic integrity. I don’t even want to (and am quite sure not allowed to) share things that are off-limits in news writing.
