Mean Streak has been shortlisted for the Prime Minister's Literary Awards in the non-fiction category. Stoked, of course, but particularly because I think this episode deserves to linger in the consciousness for as long as possible.

Call it what it is.
A week ago, I wrote a piece here called “Is It Really a Coup?” My answer, based on the evidence in front of us, was yes.

RFK Jr's only qualification was sharing his 5 % of the population's votes to Trump.
Like the 15,000 doctors cited above, I believe his nomination is a threat to public health. Public health depends on science, data, and the careful communication of both.
Kennedy's nomination should be thrown out.

Sometimes it’s just old fashioned self interest. When you’re only guiding consideration as a swing voter is “what’s in it for me” rather than which candidate will improve things for my community and all Australians.
That’s level of individualism is also peak American though.

Finland is teaching children in school how to recognize fake news and propaganda as part of critical thinking and civic responsibility. Some of this will seem very familiar.

Here is the political cartoon by @anntelnaes.bsky.social that the Washington Post decided to censor.
By suppressing this, WaPo has inadvertently lived up to the scene that its author illustrated.
Make sure to spread this far and wide.

Value statements are easier to defend from whataboutism. One of my core values is that any job that needs doing is worth paying a living wage for the area it needs to be done in.
