Your country might be great but does it follow Australia’s lead by colour-coordinating its currency with the nation’s favourite snack foods?

It’s still Twitter. It’s still the Kennedy Center. It’s still Lake Ontario. It’s still the Department of Defense. It’s still the Gulf of Mexico. And Donald Trump is still a pedophile.

Which is better: Michael (1996), starring John Travolta, or this year's remake?

#DavidMalouf #TheOnlySpeakerOfHisTongue "When I think of my tongue being no longer alive in the mouths of men a chill goes over me that is deeper than my own death, since it is the gathered death of all my kind". David Malouf: The Only Speaker of His Tongue, Antipodes, 1985

The passing of the great Australian author #davidmalouf reminds me of his book of essays Typewriter Music. That title alone captured his love of writing and his dance with words and ideas. Rest in poetry.

Looks like I haven’t had a real interaction here since (checks notes) 2025.

I think support for the Iranian people against the evil regime should be balanced by the fact that the US does not care one bit about the Iranian people and is not acting for their sake.

There has been an update to active public exposures sites for measles cases in Victoria. People who have visited an active site should monitor for symptoms of measles and follow health advice. Full list of exposure sites: go.vic.gov.au/468pAeM

What? Surely the first thibg you’d do would be to talk to former staff @Meanjin?
Meanjin's former editor says that she and the journal's prior cultural and advisory literary board were not notified of QUT's acquiring the publication before the announcement today. buff.ly/Wg0cI9c

‘A cartoon is an in-joke that’s for everyone.’ So sad to hear of the passing of Jon Kudelka, @jonkudelka a generous funny cartoonist. I was lucky enough to interview him when he won Behind the Lines as best cartoonist. artshub.com.au/news/sponsore…

'Tyrants always fear art because tyrants want to mystify while art tends to clarify. The good artist is a vehicle of truth...However it may be admitted that in this age art seems to have rather more enemies than usual...tyrants of course are still here and we know what they do.'
