American judge orders Iran pay for 9/11
A judge in the United States of America has issued a judgment requiring the government of Iran to pay more than $6bn to the victims of 9/11 after finding them liable for the deaths.
The lawsuit alleges Iran supported the hijackers with training and other assistance, although the 9/11 Commission, which was a “full and complete account of the circumstances surrounding" the attacks, found no evidence of direct Iranian involvement.

Carb On Carb: For Ages
- It's not always easy being a fully grown adult who appreciates emo. And not just because the term is frequently hijacked to describe seemingly any form of music. It's more that, as you develop into adulthood and a sense of proportion, it becomes harder to give your time to the deathly serious confessions of anguish from tortured songwriters; almost impossible to sit through the adolescent fury of dudes with broken hearts.
Suss Cunts: Temper
- The super power-trio that form Melbourne's Suss Cunts are back with a vengeance on their new EP Temper, and this time around the production is sharper, the guitars fuzzed, the bass driving and grinding, trading in some of the abstract rawness of older songs like Anaemic Boyfriend or Shit Friend for pure, direct, venom. The lyrics are harsher, more pointed than in earlier releases, tackling a variety of traumas and grievances with society.
