For what it's worth (very little these days alas), I'm thrilled to see Josephine Rowe's excellent and terribly under-appreciated Little World on the Miles Franklin longlist - hope it wins!!!

Drought breakers.
The Brumbies have beaten the Crusaders 50-24 in Christchurch to end a 26 year drought!
Famous victory.
Bravo to Stephen Larkham, his coaching team and the players.
Slipper, Valetini, Cale + unsung hero Andy Muirhead first class. Complete performance.

Rugby positions explained:
1,2&3 nice wee chubby guys. One of them has to be brainy. Often a GP.
4&5: the two tall ones. One has to be brainy. They take turns each at being sin binned.
6,7&8: two of them are called flankers and look normal ish. One of them is called the number 8. Not sure which.
9 wee jolly guy. Likes to kick the ball straight in the air.
10 brains, nice hair, knows roughly what’s going on
11&14 fast, tries not to get too involved
12&13 two actual athletes who have got involved by accident
15 big show off, boots it, catches it, boots it again

AI is on every single app I use for my job now. I use it zero percent of the time. why do I need an AI assistant for my email? I read the email. I respond to it. it’s one of the easiest things on earth to do.

So Meanjin has been closed on "purely financial grounds" because it is "no longer viable". Being non-viable is the defining qualification for being an Australian literary journal! After 85 years why stop being non-viable now, when there is so much to discuss?
Not happy, @unimelb!

A beautiful dinkus—that's the typographical term for a section divider—from Alice in Wonderland.

News just in about one of my favourite Adelaide places - the State Library of SA has been recognised by the 1000 Libraries Awards as second most beautiful in the world. The Mortlock Wing (currently closed, btw) is a seriously beautiful spot.

"Creating characters that stay with you after reading a novel is no mean feat, but in as few as four pages? A craftsperson is at work" My old hang-out @readingsbooks with a warm review of @cothren_alex's debut! readings.com.au/product/9781…

1st review ($) up for @cothren_alex's debut: "Each story is simultaneously unhinged & hits close to home in our era of climate change, precarious employment, AI & Trump. The tone is sarcastic & deadpan – if you don’t laugh, you’ll cry" booksandpublishing.com.au/ar…
