I very pettily take apart a pedestrian puritan article on Stuff, then discuss the stuff American vice-presidential nominees are made of.

I use the weekly newsletter to seriously discuss the dangers of the Trump shooting, and offer a list of totally, definitely real suspects.

The most powerful man in the world is (probably) going to become the first presumptive nominee to lose his major party's nomination. Good.

I say "wow" that the far-right didn't win a majority in France, and take a look at far-right "wins" in the past to put this in context.

It's all about the British election this week! I break down the vote at length, do some MMP math on it, and recommend a UK politics podcast.

I examine the China-NZ relationship as fears of the CCP rise, who could replace Biden after a disaster debate, and Star Wars: The Acolyte.

No fluff no frills just Biden-Trump bingo live on CNN now

Europe's anti-immigrant far right are surging. They've got it backwards: the West needs more immigrants treated better, not fewer, worse!

I briefly diss Trump's latest ??? idea before trying to get inside the head of Emmanuel Macron and the French parliamentary election.

x DESTROYS y in debate!!! (not clickbait) (liberals fume) (cat screech, dog bark, pipe falling sound effects) I also cover the SA coalition.

The weekly newsletter introduces some edutainment and covers elections in Britain and India, plus I discuss AI art and Star Wars stories!

On a hot streak lately, I turn in a submission six months overdue. Our leaders turn up to the show and receive their brickbats and bouquets.

This week, I talk...sigh...free speech, the historic South African election, the 2024 NZ Budget, and my timely weekly media recommendation.

I locked in & wrote 9,640 words. In 11 hours. I rip into Trot and Bryce Edwards re: Willie Jackson and discuss working class politics.

The new series debuts! I look at Christchurch's recent resurgence of gay bashing, and the Tories promising mandatory national service.

The grand conclusion to the series drops the link to me making a case I believe in with not a singular fiber in my body. Enjoy!

The last infodump and the penultimate article in the series takes you through what to expect from each region of the world.

With apologies to the loved ones of the deceased snapper, and to those of David Shearer.

Bloody hell, Rishi, I go to bed hearing rumours of an election and wake up having to retrofit the whole outfit. 'e won't be getting my vote!

The most powerful man in the world serves as an object lesson for the chaotic, messy and unpredictable outcomes of the political process.
