Academic selfie: what’s a man to do when he concedes that denim makes for practical weekend work and errand wear, but hates the feel of modern jeans? Make his own light denim Oxford bags of course! (Detail shot of pocket lining.) #sewing #menswear

AI models appear to be showing the talent of spirited toddlers and wilfully obtuse law undergrads to ignore the rules that are meant to bound their behaviour. It’s almost as if philosophers, logicians and legal theorists should have been in on the ground floor …

This is a great insight from a young woman in Canberra on housing and time and multiculturalism www.abc.net.au/news/2026-09...
The woman who feels priced out of spare time

Rosie* is in her 30s and lives in Canberra. She captured the point vividly.

"Housing gets covered as deposits, rates, supply. Living it, the real cost is time. You work the hours the housing demands, in the suburb the housing pushed you to, and what gets sacrificed is the ability to sit down with the people around you.

"Multiculturalism worked in this country when people had time to spend with people unlike themselves. Not policy time — ordinary time. Backyards, front steps, sport, the shops, someone's kitchen. That's how a stranger stops being a category and becomes a neighbour.

"We have spent 30 years pricing that time out of people's lives and now we're surprised that cohesion is fraying and asking what went wrong with our values.

"When people are exhausted and stretched and never in the same room, difference stops being interesting and starts being threatening. That's not a failure of tolerance. It's a failure of time. That's what I'd want people in power to understand."

Oof. Yes, I imagine a lot of glass-heavy European 90s and post 90s modernism must be ghastly in the current heatwaves.

Amazing looking building. As I recall, cold as hell. Largely because, urban legend had it, to fit on the site it had to be rotated 90° away from where it was originally meant to face meaning it didn’t have the solar passive properties originally intended. Law Library later repeated the mistake.

The way you even slightly younger colleagues blithely assume that I will be comfortable working in Web-hosted shared Word documents (with everyone editing them all at the same time) is genuinely touching. On average, I’d rather gouge my own eyes out.

Academic selfie: first warm day of spring. Threw this outfit together in a hurry, but the little linen chore jacket I made myself doesn’t go too badly with everything else. This corduroy jacket I’m leaning on will look great, if I ever finish the front facing and lapels. #sewing #menswear
