Halloween is near! It's time to post this marvellous articulated Roman skeleton, presumably meant to be a reminder to enjoy life to the fullest, since pleasure ends irrevocably with death.
In Petronius’ Satyricon, the host of a dinner party brings out a small skeleton with moveable...🧵1/2

This is how Believing Things becomes reconceptualised as a form of fiscal drag; the real opportunities for efficiencies (and profit) at scale come when you are no longer hampered by beliefs of any kind. Human rights? Luxuries, can’t afford ‘em! Due process? Quicker without!

I mean the Economics prize was only established in 1968 so I’m sure we’re overdue a new one - the Trump Prize in honour of Alfred Nobel for Advanced MAGAdemic Studies

Kos Samaras on X has given us more details on the #Redbridge federal poll #auspol
The call for a Coalition Right turn - may end up being the longest U-Turn away from government. Our latest RedBridge–Accent National Survey for the Financial Review reconfirms the deep structural realignment underway in Australian politics, one that’s generational, geographic, and ideological in nature. The implications for the Coalition are profound. The challenge is no longer about messaging or leadership; it’s about demographics, geography, and time. The Generational Realignment The age profile of each major party tells the story: •Greens median age: early 30s •Labor: early 40s •Coalition: mid 50s •One Nation: early 60s This generational divide is not just attitudinal, it’s structural. Every electoral cycle, around 700,000 younger voters join the roll, while older voters, predominantly Baby Boomers, leave it. In effect, the Coalition’s voter base is ageing out of the electorate faster than it can replenish it. The younger cohorts, meanwhile, are not drifting rightward with age as previous generations did. They are staying put and with Gen Z, moving further left. This creates a demographic current that runs against the Coalition’s long-term viability unless it redefines what conservatism means to a younger generation. The Ideological Compression The second major shift is ideological. When asked how they see themselves politically, Australians now cluster heavily in the “Left” and “Moderate” categories. The “Right” has become smaller, older, and more fragmented. Within this self-definition: •Left voters break 80–20 Labor–Coalition (2PP) •Moderates split 56–44 Labor’s way •The Right is 70–30 Coalition, but it is shrinking. The challenge is arithmetic as much as ideological. The moderate middle, once the decisive battleground of Australian politics, now tilts towards Labor. The Coalition’s reliance on its conservative flank keeps it electorally alive, but strategically paralysed. Every attempt to modernise risks revolt from the populist Right (One Nation), which we can see here in this data but every concession to the populist Right drives younger, urban and female voters further away, which we can see here in this data.

Being a bibliophile is fun because I get to say things like “I’m reading” when I’m actually dissociating in silence.
