I was surprised yesterday by the number of news stories and pop-cultural puzzle pieces that seemed to slot together in rather weird synchromystic ways.

$3,000 of expensive meat cuts stolen from supermarkets to a group of
Tasmanian devils in captivity.

endangered animals. "Tasmanian devils to feed on top-grade stolen meat

" Sydney-based artist Del Kathryn Barton has won the 2013 Archibald prize for her portrait of actor Hugo Weaving.
Ms Barton beat 38 other finalists to win the prestigious $75,000 annual portrait prize.
The textured portrait depicts Weaving holding a wild cat that Barton says demonstrates facets of the actor's personality.
Ms Barton says the cat came up during a conversation about what is close to Weavings' heart.
"When he was talking about animals that he might potentially identify with there was the idea of the wildcat or the leopard or the wolf," she said.
"So in the end it was a kind of generic wildcat to represent other facets of his personality.""
