Every accusation is a confession.

There will be people in his orbit who wish this to happen.

This month is the March of Folly.

But of course they won't be, unless by 'dreams fulfilled' we mean they'll be held, in some not at all distant future, responsible for the effects of foreigb powers destabilising their country, culture, society, lives, families.

Photo of the Joker from the original series of Batman, in which the melange of make-up (caked), hair (Trumpian, except in its thickness and apparent health) and eyes (camply deranged-looking) creates a sense that is considerably more restrained and sane-coded than Trump's present appearance.

I have emerged from my deja vu funk to realise where I thought I had seen that image before.

"A literary culture disaggregated from the contemporary world consigns itself to utter irrelevance – and yet in Albanese's Australia, the fantasy of an apolitical cultural sector seems to have been installed as de facto cultural policy." @catrionamp.bsky.social infra-dig.ghost.io/hard-surface...

Ben Wilkinson's poem 'Dog Years'.

It's not a photo of a puppo, but I hope this consoles a little.

This sounds fantastic. Congrats!

How could I forget?

He has a magnificent but lesser-known role as the voice of the Butt-Witch in an animated show called Twelve Forever.

He's okay, but I think Peter and Chuck are the superior Berrys (albeit in a competitive field).

Jabba wasn't orange.
