Journalism was a place to learn & have ideas challenged. Not now, Dylan was right: “Something is happening, but you don’t know what it is, Do you, Mr Jones?”

I must have missed this but I hear a retired US Army General, Ben Hodges, referred recently to Trump’s Cabinet as a team of “butt-snorkelers”. Nicely put, sir.

Words replete with meaning, spoken with real intent: “It’s 106 miles to Chicago. We got a full tank of gas half a pack of cigarettes. It’s dark and we’re wearing sunglasses.”

Kos’s comments are on point. The Pew Research report - which is from an outfit in the top ranks of pollsters - is a reminder to the @AlboMP government not to ignore the men’s/male youths’s issues in the sweep of things, especially men’s health, mental & physical.

We don't see this trend in Australia. The reasons are complex, but this @pewresearch clearly illustrates a massive shift of young men to Trump. Note - these young men are turning to him because they are anti establishment. They don't like the GOP. Trump, to them is not the GOP.

For @whiteswine - what a joy. Thinking of you in the vales. Here in Paris it’s warm, then hot, cooler, then rainy. But shit what a town. A house full of Picasso, one full of Monet, a house full of Rodin, next it’s Robert Doisneau photos & further on Marie-Laure de Decker’s pix!

Relativity is a lithograph print by artist M. C. Escher, first printed in December 1953. It depicts a world in which the normal laws of gravity do not apply.

Here’s the proof @EVERALDATLARGE - no link between Tasmanian result & federal Labor standing
20 Jul 2025
Latest Newspoll. One for those who have already misread the Tasmanian result as a mark down for federal Labor.
Coalition recording its lowest primary vote since the 1980s.
