Oh, Jon Kudelka. Devastating loss. You could never come across a more delightful curmudgeon. But his skills in cutting to the quick of an issue and spearing hypocrisy were second to none. Pour out a whiskey and toast his memory.

Left populism says politics is broken, government is failing people - and it is. But then it says "vote for us and we'll fix it for you".

It's hot
It's hard to think when the heat is so intense
And we need to think through some painfully hot challenges to which there are no shortcuts
We have to sit in the discomfort, listening to what it's telling us, holding each other & ourselves in that discomfort, in both care & accountability

You’d think an attempted bombing of an event with 2,000 attendees on the shores of mainland Australia would get a breaking news alert and statement from the Prime Minister of the country.
But it’s blackfullas and people who associate with them, that’s fine.

As someone who has spent over 35 years trying to explain that violence is inherent to policing only to have most people be OK with this, I could be excused if I decided to just give up. But I'm not. I knew we would be where we are today. I still think that we do not have to live like this.

The world is a fiery mess, and my heart breaks
But my partner & I spent much of this week deeply immersed in nature, making friends furry, scaley & leafy, skinny dipping in rivers & bays & ocean, and the grief subsides.
