Trump for Pope, a third term, re-opening Alcatraz.
These stories all serve a critical purpose.
To distract from the story of our age: that the President of the United States is enriching his family with billions by running a corruption racket right out of the Oval Office.

The Enigmatic Artistry of Terrence Malick
The director has long shunned the spotlight, but his work conveys the force of a mighty personality. A new biography offers a rare look at his life and work.

80 years since liberation.
Many of us had family there. Many of us source our values from what happened there.
It’s not just ‘history’ for us. We can still see the trauma generations later.
Lessons are being forgotten. Minorities are increasing demonised. We must renew the vow - Never again.

I’m worried sick about patient safety as highly trained clinicians are replaced by 2yr-trained associates. Does this make me a “social media rabble”? Or is the “be kind” movement being cynically weaponised? Those monitoring my posts, put this on the agenda for the meeting you’ve asked me to attend.
