While bazillionaire Bezos and Boobies went on a tasteless look at me binge with his hangers on, enablers and sycophants. Ex-wife Mackenzie Scott has given away almost $20 billion to 1,600 charities, no strings attached and without any need for recognition, a parade or applause. Be a Mackenzie.

" Minds were made for blowing." Vale. One of my few literary heroes. If ever there was an author I returned to again and again throughout my life for absurd, comedic meanderings into life's meaning - it was Tom Robbins. May he journey into eternal sunshine. 😎✌️ www.nbcnews.com/news/obituar...

Tom Robbins, 'Even Cowgirls Get the Blues' author, dies at 92
Robbins indulged the hippie sensibilities of young people starting in the early 1970s with books that had an overarching philosophy of what he called “serious playfulness."

Politeness is not the same as kindness. Being polite is saying what makes people feel good today. Being kind is doing what helps people get better tomorrow. When the norm is politeness, people withhold disagreement and criticism. When the norm is kindness, people speak their minds respectfully.

My 2025 hobby is helping my pals de-centre tech from their lives. Acquire CDs, records, DVDs, paper books, reference books, magazines, dictionaries, etc. Go to the library! Going analog is a small way to stop relying on tech bro monsters & helps preserve knowledge they're literally deleting.

It shits me that Albanese can say Grace Tame’s t shirt was disrespectful when he hasn’t been able to muster a whisper of criticism for Murdoch’s attacks on democracy, which surely disrespect all of us more than any t shirt can. Such weakness. Vote for a strong crossbench. #AusPol

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants. Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this. Do not.

Australia has the second lowest age pension in the OECD, and the 5th highest level of retirees living in poverty. And all the while we give the richest 10% $20bn in tax breaks for their superannuation. My column. www.theguardian.com/business/gro...

Misleading fear campaigns may kill Labor’s superannuation changes. But here are the real numbers | Greg Jericho
Increasing the tax rate on superannuation balances above $3m would affect less than 1% of the population – and yet it is still unlikely to pass
