No one in this household gives a stuff that @albomp.bsky.social has not had a meeting with Donald Trump.

Season 3 of ‘The Bear’ was a big wank, but Season 4 (just started on Disney+) is right back on form.

The moderate Muslim vs the Catholic fundamentalist— it could be great television
Walid Aly and Greg Sheridan were so interesting on Insiders this morning, I can see the potential for a new ABC show along the lines of ‘Point-Counterpoint’ or ‘Head to Head’, to replace Q&A.

Sad new: John Shakespeare, my long time friend and colleague at the Sydney Morning Herald, who had retired after 39 years at the paper, died peacefully at home last night with his wife and son by his side. He was unwaveringly gracious and sanguine in the face of his prognosis, and loved by so many.
