When Trump imposes tariffs on Colombian coffee, Colombian flowers, Colombian bananas and pineapples and avocados, on Colombian oil, it's us Americans who will pay those added costs. We're not even a week into Trump's term and he's already imposed a brand new tax on all of us.

My column in the Age and Sydney Morning Herald…Fostering or even forcing curiosity, & continual exploration of where we find ourselves, helps to unearth unforeseen possibilities, new relationships between both people & things, & new pathways www.smh.com.au/business/wor...
This year, think twice when it comes to setting career goals
We tend to see the headlines on goals and career success and conclude the most useful thing to do is to set many goals or advise others to do the same.

YIKES! Duckworth asks Hegseth to name a country that's in ASEAN. He names three -- none of which are in ASEAN.
"I suggest you do a little homework," she says.

X has ~18m daily USA users. @bsky.app, ~1.5m.
Is it worth 20 MINS a day to proactively recruit and bring your friends, neighbors,relatives, businesses, anyone who is or could be a user, to @bsky.app?
If Bluesky ends up with more users than the others, you destabilize musk, zuck, trump.

A painting of Blue Kenny (aka Bluckney), my daughter's car.
I decided to let loose and use a knife to stop me getting too anal about the details and let the paint go on nice and thick.

This brilliant oil painting of an old haunt Frith Street Soho and @ronniescott.bsky.social jazz club by @markwadeart.bsky.social was my Christmas present. New home in Sydney and will go next to a print of another place Mark has painted and I frequented - The Coach and Horses

another spine chill moment- listening to this superb 1976 compilation of Harlem Jazz pulled from my shelves when I noticed the vocalist on tracks from 1944, Miss Rhapsody, and realised I met her as a 9 year old in 1976 at a recording session on Long Island New York #father’sjazzrecords #jazz #vinyl

interesting discussion including singer Rhoda Dakar re problems facing the music industry in UK. Increasing costs, venues struggling and artists getting nothing, the market is broken. same in Australia, Gov needs to raise levies from big concerts to support grass roots.

In 2003, I directed a bunch of commercials for Wendy's. I hired an actress, who was funny and overqualified, as a non-speaking extra. But on set, I gave her a two-word line which entitled her to extra pay. She was thrilled. I think it may have been her first paid gig. #KristenWiig.
