Excerpt for the Guardian article

"In the run-up to the 2024 presidential election, at the Faena Hotel in Miami, Peter Thiel hosted panel discussions titled "the enemy", naming sustainable development goals, "precautionary principles" and "social responsibility" as those foes, rounded off with an "apocalypse ball"-themed fancy dress party .
Some of the costumes, Klein and Taylor write, were "a doctor of eugenics"; a

Everywhere. My @smh @theage cartoon.
Four frames. 1. “Three Israeli hostages waving white flags were shot and killed  by the IDF. They said, “We thought they were Hamas.””Image of three dead, with flags. 2. “The IDF shot and killed 14 Palestinian paramedics and a UN worker then buried them in a mass grave. They thought Hamas were among them.” Image of bulldozer and rows of body bags. 3. “Present and former Israeli politicians have claimed there are no innocents in Gaza and that even children and babies are the enemy.” Image of a child sitting, a dead adult behind, a sniper drone buzzing nearby. 4. “So when they say the IDF killed Zomi Frankcom and her colleagues because they thought they contained Hamas operatives. It’s understandable, as they see Hamas everywhere.” Image of photo of Zomi with bouquet of flowers beside.

Choices. My @smh cartoon.
Single frame. Paragraphs of text with small vignettes. First column: “HAPPY NEW YEAR” sign with balloons. “I sometimes think about a time when I was 16 at a New Year’s Eve party. 
Teens drank at parties then, and a log of pashing went on. It was all pretty tame.”(Image of awkward young couple pashing.)
“I liked boys a lot and at this party I got flirting with a guy…” (image of girl and guy facing each other at nigh under party lights.) “He told me he was 22, and I felt very grown up to have attracted his attention. He was surprised to discover my age.” Next column: (image of champagne bottle popping cork) “when midnight came, I hoped to have a New Year’s kiss with him. He gently declined, saying I was too young. I didn’t know what I didn’t know, and he knew better.” (Image of the same two people under fireworks, with man smiling holding hand up as “no”.)
“When I think about young men and schoolboys “getting themselves into situations”, I think about him. And all the choices we make.” (Image two guys laughing walking away from a girl crying, sitting on the ground.) (image of a speaker with “NUTBUSH CITY LIMITS” blaring.)

A red-capped robin landed right in front on me on the handle of a rusty old lawnmower down at the creek on the farm. The pretty background is due to aloe flowers. I spent a lot of time at the creek and saw this robin several times.

Stolen goods. My @smh @theage cartoon.
Two frames. 1. Scene at night outside a building at ground level where there’s a person visible in a room one floor up. Two black clad, hooded robbers with AI emblazoned on chest and back. Giant hole in the wall they’ve presumably made. Bricks and a tool bag to one side. One holds a large mallet standing by while another pulls a large crate marked “INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY” out through the hole in the wall.
2. The robbers are sprung in torchlight standing by the crate and the hole in the wall. One has pulled back balaclava and says, “Pay for it?! But we just happened to find it here on the street.”

Where have we seen this before? My @smh cartoon.
Single frame. Pauline Hanson at the lecture of the National Press Club. A few other journos visible. Back view of female journalist saying “Did you help your daughter get a taxpayer-funded job while she seemingly campaigns full-time for you?”
Hanson with finger raised says “Quiet Piggy.”
