Today I was fitted for hearing aids. Can I just say thank you to my friends and family who’ve been telling me for years that I’m deaf and put up with me saying eh? What? Often. Now I can hear everything. EVERYTHING! It makes a difference. @drericlevi

I had the privilege today of delivering ANU’s annual “Australia and the World” lecture. I slightly tweaked it to “Australia and the Trumpian world.” I warned of the perils of US-style polarisation, a path I fear Australian politics is treading.

Love that word. I need more komorebi in my life!
Komorebi. A Japanese word for the scattered light that filters through when sunlight shines through trees. A reminder to take in momentary beauties. Beware of possums and bird poos though.

Good reminder. Complainants in pending trials aren’t helped by social media discussion about alleged perpetrators. Whether you like that part of our law or not, it’s the law. For justice to be done, for all involved, people reflecting on guilt/innocence in a public forum is so irresponsible.
It is true that the sub judice contempt rule needs to be reformed as it is out of step with modern digital reality, however in the meantime the best way to ensure Alan Jones gets a trial at all (let alone a fair one) is to shut up about the criminal charges against him.

Colin Sheridan: A letter to all my friends who tell me to feel happy
Writing about the genocide taking place in Palestine seems the most obvious thing in the world to do. That other people do not think so confounds and depresses me
