Things are more like they are now than they've ever been before.
@dorianlynskey.bsky.social Absolutely gutted to hear you're leaving OGWN. I've been a listener since episode 2 or 3 and it's consistently been my favourite pod since then, largely down to your hosting talents.

All the best for your future endeavours.

Late to the party but Adolescence really is jaw-dropping, heartbreaking TV. A masterpiece.

Latest Adam Buxton podcast with John Inverdale's inadvertent c-bomb at the end is the funniest thing I've heard in a long time.

Disappointed Dutton didn't go full Trump at the end - claim the election was rigged, lead a mob of halfwits to storm Canberra etc.

Telling a child that mommy & daddy are getting divorced is the hardest thing about being a party clown

Off clubbing tomorrow. A few years ago, my preparations would have involved procuring narcotics - this time I have been researching ear plugs.

With that in mind, this excellent piece by @iandunt.bsky.social about the lost pleasures of hedonism really hit home.

It’s quite impressive that this administration has managed to combine Brexit, the Liz Truss debacle, and the pandemic all into a single crisis.

Biggest commitment to a 3 second joke I've ever seen

"it turns out"
So many hundreds of thousands of words of ink, so many countless hours wasted, explaining how this man was secretly savvy, and it turns out he’s just dumb as a rock, clueless about basic economics, and driven by a malicious paranoia that conniving foreigners are ripping us off
Trump: "I spoke to a lot of leaders -- European, Asian, from all over the world. They are dying to make a deal, but I said 'we're not gonna have deficits with your country' ... to me a deficit is a loss. We're gonna have surpluses or at worst we're gonna be breaking even."
