Could this be the dawn of a new era for #timezones? @realDonaldTrump & @elonmusk have renewed discussions about abolishing #daylightsaving—yet there’s little consensus on whether to adopt permanent DST, or Standard Time. Here’s one potential solution of 4 entirely new time zones.

In Australia we now have more young men than women who are neither in full-time education nor in the labour force. This is not the result of welcome advances in gender relations but rather a symptom of an education system that is not helping boys and young men to achieve their full potential. Australia is worse off as a result as I explain in The New Daily (no pay wall): buff.ly/3Y37TZZ
