If you thought today’s mutton/lamb combo of bare legs & a micro mini is diabolical in itself, you won’t want to know that I seem to have paired it with elastic-free undies, so now I’ve contorted myself into the weirdest splayed-leg walk lest every passer-by becomes my own personal gynaecologist.

This stuff triggers my in-built snob-detector alarm. Friends in Oz started a “literary fiction-only book group” that expressly forbade “genre fiction”. I put forward an impassioned argument for mysteries & thrillers, even Midnighting in the Garden of Good & Evilling them, but the snobs won.

OK I left a decade ago but the ABC has been freaking out in a digital age day dream for years & yes I did once say that in a management meeting! It became a place of endless strategy reformulations but little feel for its own culture & traditions.

As a former insider it's oddly reassuring to see ABC management continue it's fine tradition of alienating the people who actually want to watch it in return for chasing people who never will.

1st, congrats for the great reach. I think in early 2020s Sstack was heterodox coded, but not anymore. Notes is a game changer, so Elon hates it. Your follow up is a good point, but I guess people can appreciate the connection everywhere now. 'The more the merrier' kinds of work here.

I get much more engagement on Substack but it registers less because I feel closer to my mutuals here, some of whom I’ve known for years now from Twitter. Substack is much more my wheelhouse ideologically, cos it’s an echo chamber of my design!, so why does it feel so impersonal/ less social?

"Wonderful pub, lovely, friendly atmosphere and people. Delicious food! My first time coming, will definitely come back!... I knocked off three stars today, as the fat Greek lady, sister of that Greek multi millionaire stole two of my paintings. She frequents this pub, so I'm avoiding it, won't be going again."

People who are critical of Zack Polanski (and I’m increasingly one of them) need to be able to recognise that, even if you think he’s handling antisemitism within his party really badly, he is himself a victim of antisemitism.

My hope is a whole bunch of not Jewish people will sign up, discover that the location of Jewish events are frequently kept secret until 24 hours before for security reasons and conclude that is not a reasonable state of affairs.
