On silly stuff away from American politics:

(The Sydney Morning Herald)

If you are a man reading this while seated in the gents’, your smartphone clenched in your non-toilet paper hand as you take some quiet time to catch up on current affairs, feel no shame.

According to the Digital News Report: Australia 2017, you are typical. The way you consume your news may not be hygienic, but it is perfectly average.

Gone are the days of the gentleman-reader who donned his spectacles and settled into a chesterfield while fanning out his broadsheet.

Now 20 per cent of men, according to the report, read their news with their pants around their ankles while hiding out from the housework.

But they are also twice as likely to pay for news as women.

Well, I don’t have digital news service on a cell phone (no cell service here), so my grubby hands can’t clutch an iThing whilst catching up on the news.

I do read broadsheet newspapers, The Economist, Foreign Affairs (cue claims by wingnuts of me being part of the Council on Foreign Relations trying to set up a globalist regime of plutocrats - my bank account says I’m doing plutocracy wrong), &c.
