@_thmitchell Are you some kind of writing wizard? Every single line in this story is an absolute banger. Well done and thanks for the laughs: smh.com.au/national/the-one-…

The one question my son asks me that I simply cannot answer

In between ‘What’s that?’ and ‘Where are we going?’ comes a line of inquiry designed to cause an existential crisis.

@_thmitchell This is an EXTREMELY good read! That part about the childhood fantasy of being inside an empty shopping centre may have unlocked something deep inside me. Thank you. I think. smh.com.au/national/at-3am-i…

At 3am, I should be asleep. Why not revisit my biggest regrets instead?

A perfect window to take stock of all the terrible decisions you’ve made in the past and the many horrors that still lie ahead.

this is excellent from @_thmitchell. we urgently need more public toilets in Sydney. It's always a funny, unimportant thing to think about - until it's not smh.com.au/national/a-public…

A public service announcement on the public toilet crisis

With cafes limiting toilet use to paying customers and public toilets seemingly impossible to find (or too horrific to face), we need answers on what to do when nature calls.

Hello. Next month I'm starting a new gig at the AFR covering energy and climate from Canberra. If you know anything about energy and/or climate, let's chat

This weekend I profile the ongoing changes at News Corp as a result of Lachlan Murdoch's growing influence, in particular within the company operations in its spiritual home of Australia where he is cultivating his own set of loyal editors smh.com.au/business/companie…

New age News Corp takes shape in Lachlan Murdoch’s mould

With a secret family civil war ongoing, Lachlan Murdoch is already putting his stamp on his father’s media empire that’s coming to terms with digital disruption.

Gold for going viral: Who is winning the internet Olympics? smh.com.au/culture/celebrity…

Gold for going viral: Who is winning the internet Olympics?

It’s a photo finish between South Korea’s cyberpunk, the Turkish shooter with his hand in his pocket, and a well-endowed pole vaulter.

My colleagues and I are striking because Nine won’t offer us fair wages. Meanwhile the CEO is living his best life at the Olympics and refuses to answer questions about the terrible optics of this

Black coffee still king. ✅ But do an occasional afternoon hot chocolate at the cafe when coffeed out. ☕️ But different types of milk.🤷🏻‍♂️Just weird. @smh ⁦@_thmitchell⁩ You can’t order hot chocolate as an adult, and other unspoken coffee rules smh.com.au/national/you-can-…

You can’t order hot chocolate as an adult, and other unspoken coffee rules

Your daily beverage sends a message about who you are as a person, and it can’t be: “I want a cute sweet treat in a cup.”

Truly great piece, by @_thmitchell. The power of crying in public, more specifically, on the 8.08am train to Central smh.com.au/national/the-powe…

The power of crying in public, more specifically, on the 8.08am train to Central

I’m sorry to everyone in the silent carriage who listened to my stifled sobs, but I finally understand the benefits of having a good – and public – cry.

Many are saying this @_thmitchell smh.com.au/culture/music/hel…

Help! Is my new favourite song a right-wing anthem?

The breakout viral hit Rich Men North of Richmond is taking over the internet (and the charts) and has triggered a response – in song – from Billy Bragg. But is there something sinister about it?

Good to see Donald Horne make it onto this list of books to read in August, although I would argue it can also be enjoyed in other months, for example September. October too. smh.com.au/culture/books/the…

@_thmitchell may not be much chop at packing the car, but he sure can pack a newspaper column full of laughs. Funniest piece I've read all year in today's Sun-Herald. #buythepaper
