Invasion Day 'explosive' device hidden inside Disney Frozen sock, witness says A homemade "fragment bomb" thrown into a crowd at a Perth Invasion Day rally yesterday was hidden in a child's sock with a Disney character on it, a woman who picked it up tells the ABC.

Freeplay is one of Australia's most important creative festivals, so why is its future in doubt? | ScreenHub: Film, TV, Streaming and Games Freeplay, one of the Australia's longest-running game festivals, remains an essential platform for bold, creative, and compelling art.

my thoughts on @free-play.bsky.social and why it remains so, so important (especially in the bad times!!!!)
