I’ve been a loyal listener of ABC Sydney 702, but lately I’ve found myself tuning out. The on-air tone feels increasingly insular, as if the presenters represent only a narrow, privileged segment of Sydney. It’s become a bit too chummy and club-like for my taste.

For those of us who enjoy the purple prose of Lizza V. Nuzzi, the bell has rung for round two.

I don’t want to kink-shame, but this is kinda revolting.

The bamboo metaphor is back: Ryan Lizza has dropped Part 2.

Below are the opening paragraphs, but most of it is behind a paywall.

(My apologies in advance.)
RYAN LIZZA NOV 21, 2025 • PAID If you are new to this series, start here. She did it again. It was four years later. Another presidential campaign. Another book project. Another candidate whom she had profiled. Another note —a poem, according to Olivia-though this time from the candidate to her. "Yr open mouth awaiting my harvest," Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who is now the Secretary of Health and Human Services, had written to my then-fiancé. "Drink from me Love." He continued, "I mean to squeeze your cheeks to force open your mouth. I'll hold your nose as you look up at me to encourage you to swallow. 'Dont spill a drop'. I am a river You are my canyon. I mean to flow through you. I mean to subdue and tame you. My Love." I can't say there weren't any signs. I did find it odd that Olivia was simultaneously reading Robert Greene's The Art of Seduction and Maureen Callahan's Ask Not: The Kennedys and the Women They Destroyed. But the poem—let's call it "American Canyon" —and many others, too explicit to print, changed everything. Thanks to Bobby, I am now aware of something called felching.) Remember the bamboo from Part 1? Well, bamboo is actually a type of grass, and underground, it's all connected in a sprawling network, just like the parts of this story I never wanted to tell. I wish I hadn't been put in this position, that I didn't have to write about any of this, that I didn't have to subject myself or my loved ones to embarrassment and further loss of privacy. But Olivia has reignited a campaign of misinformation about what really happened, and Bobby, who has denied everything, is one of the most consequential policymakers in America. Unfortunately, I'm the only other person who knows everything. And while sometimes I wish I could unknow it, the least I can do is share the parts I believe you should know too.

I really hope Pauline Hanson never discovers that we’re teaching kids Arabic numerals.

when I was young, i used to wonder how people like this would fare in life, as they didn't seem suited for gainful employment. it turns out, the internet allowed them to accumulate a massive audience of similar idiots, enriching them and turning them into a presidential advisor
Polymarket tweets: "BREAKING: Zohran Mamdani to require all New York elementary school students to learn Arabic numerals." Laura Loomer replies: "You know things are bad when you can't tell if this is real or a joke. Dear God. It's real. Isn't it?"

If you grew up watching Brady Bunch reruns, this short is a fun blast of nostalgia.

The way they’ve rebuilt the studio set inside the iconic intro house is so faithful, it feels like stepping right back into the world we remember so well.

Along with
- a deep, epigenetic trauma
- unconditional love, and
- a passion for mashed potato
my beloved holocaust-survivor grandparents passed on to me the clear understanding that #antisemitism flourishes in times of distress.

This means that none of us will ever be safe until all are safe.

Christopher Yarvin, the self-proclaimed intellectual guru for tech billionaires like Peter Thiel (a major backer of JD Vance), envisions a world run by tech bros under a monarchical system. His ideas have the intellectual depth of a first-year stoner philosophy student.
resnikoff.bsky.social Ned Resnikoff @resnikoff.bsky.social · Jun 2
If I'm reading this correctly, then Yarvin wants the role of führer to be awarded via a Wings of Voice-style competition www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...
“You don’t ransack your own house,” he told me one afternoon, at an open-air café in Venice Beach. I’d asked him what would stop his C.E.O.-monarch from plundering the country—or enslaving his people—for personal gain. “For Louis XIV, when he says, ‘L’état, c’est moi,’ ransacking the state holds no meaning because it’s all his anyway.” Following Hoppe, Yarvin proposes that nations should eventually be broken up into a “patchwork” of statelets, like Singapore or Dubai, each with its own sovereign ruler. The eternal political problems of legitimacy, accountability, and succession would be solved by a secret board with the power to select and recall the otherwise all-powerful C.E.O. of each sovereign corporation, or SovCorp. (How the board itself would be selected is unclear, but Yarvin has suggested that airline pilots—“a fraternity of intelligent, practical, and careful people who are already trusted on a regular basis with the lives of others. What’s not to like?”—could manage the transition between regimes.) To prevent a C.E.O. from staging a military coup, the board members would have access to cryptographic keys that would allow them to disarm all government weapons, from nuclear missiles down to small arms, with the push of a button.
