Anybody seen a good long read on why hyper online left young people get feverish about random things and deify them a la Putricia? Not sneering at it, just feel there’s some insight there that eludes me. Like why is the PROTECT HER AT ALL COSTS bit so left coded? No reason why it has to be but it is

Lot of very cursed ads kicking around on The Other Website these days, but this gentleman wants to make sure you're familiar with your major thirds and minor sixths.

Upon further reflection this movie would also have been improved by casting everyone except Ralph Fiennes as a muppet

Saw conclave. Needed an electoral analyst type. What were the preference flows from Adeyemi? How crucial was the orthodox bloc with the different hats. Etc.

Labor's candidate for Leichhardt doubling down on The Repacholi Stratagem (preselect Big Units). Could be a game changer.

Ah, the sounds of summer. Test cricket on the radio, chirping of cicadas in the evening, announcement that the Bruce Highway is still being upgraded.

Got through a bit over half of these which is pretty good going I think! The Judt rocked, as did Power Without Glory.

Another year passes and I remain irredeemably shithouse at present wrapping. Measuring, cutting, shaping, taping, one unmitigated nightmare. 2/3 look fine but conceal mangled horrors within. Merry Christmas.

Magnificent cultural artefact this. Not a lick of anything even slightly left of field, every choice somehow more mainstream than the last. And yet you can’t deny they are, indeed, bangers and you’d be singing along unselfconsciously. If that isn’t Warnie.

With the out of the office on and the 🍹 awaiting, I’m also marking one year at the ABC. It’s still a thrill and a privilege. I’m a true believer in rigorous, fair public broadcasting and hope you’ve derived a public good from my work! Thanks to all on here from whom I continue to learn a great deal.

You'd better believe I'm excited for my annual summer break book binge. Here's my list. Skews towards political non fiction because counterintuitively it's only when I'm away from work that I want to read that stuff. But there's a mix. Share yours pls! I'll report back with reviews.
