We joined 90,000+ Sydney-siders this past weekend to walk across the Harbour Bridge and protest the inhumane treatment of citizens of Gaza.

We spent the last week catching up with our old pal, Hedwig composer Stephen Trask, in Sydney for the launch of the Australian Hedwig & The Angry Inch production. We chat queer culture, Kurt Cobain and how counter culture phenomena age over time. Ione is thriled that Monchichis are back and Labubus are on the way out. Bob Dylan doesnt want to talk about the past or the future. Paramount axes Stephen Colbert and we keep our eye on Channel 10 Australia. Ben gets corrected by both Olivia Rodrigo fans and Swifties but his biggest challege is being more liked in public these days. Ione reviews the Jayne Mansfied/Mariska Hargitay doco. Dive deeper into our universe at http://weirdertogether.substack.com
