Nakia from Sydney

Live in Asia, have voted since the 80s and am getting increasingly worried about how things are turning out. Convinced that the arc of history does not bend towards justice.

I lived in Adelaide in the mid 90s. From memory, the ignorant young incel dork had a column in one of the local rags. God knows how. Christopher Pearson?

Excellent. He's not featuring, I gather, but the Colander Man was Fawlty Towers level of farce for me. I used to do Meals on Wheels in Prahran in the 80s and so many talked like that (if they weren't being unbearably sad like the Divinyls' Esme). Golden character for me.

Was Days of Our Lives the show which was consumed for months by Monica's deposition? I was aggressively avoiding studying for my final exams in 1986 and I seem to recall entering a ghost world of daytime TV where this Seppo chick's legal problems engulfed me.

You recommended Rumble Strip which has become essential. So I'm definitely going to listen to this. And thanks for recommending your students' writing over on Substack; it is extraordinarily good.

Just like Americans to have someone even crazier and more reckless than our homegrown talent. We thought our Barnaby Joyce was the global #1. But I've come to admit he's no match for this dingbat. It still absolutely. blows. my. mind that this utter weirdo helps run your health policy.

I often wondered where you got the material for the crazy old dingbat on Sizzletown who accuses you of being a druggie. Now I know. But these ****s are a category worse. This is really foul. Imagine being like this.

Onya Bronny. That's the spirit. I had high hopes for the future when I was a kid in the 80s, but everything now is even poxier than it was back then. It's exhausting.

They are about 2 days away from siccing Alsatians on bystanders and attacking them with large sticks. After that it'll be Kent State. I hope it doesn't come to this again.

There's a similar phenomenon in Australia. Rightwing politicians get out of the game and start presenting clear-eyed, rational, empathetic human rights positions. It's great, but why couldn't they have done it in office?

Jesus, what a shitshow of a country. Two blubbery yahoos in masks abducting a man off a street and then buggering off when they self-defeat through extreme incompetence. I cycled through extreme anxiety and anger watching this. This is a plague on the world. The USA. Who would have thought.
