In which three friends (two trans women and the cis man they lovingly bully) sit down to talk about every mayor ever.

I got into it via their episode on Darryn Lyons, former mayor of Geelong (accurately described in the episode as Australia's New Jersey), then listened to their episodes on Rudy Giuliani and Rob Ford, and then signed up to their Patreon for the second halves of their episodes on Giuliani and Ford. (I do not love this release model, but at the same time, the paywalled episodes are EXTREMELY worth it. I've linked straight to the Patreon, not least because they don't seem to have a website beyond it, and linking to an RSS feed is annoying.)

As a person who enjoys politics, petty corruption and shenanigans, this is very much the podcast for me; the running gag about Rob Ford being the Kwizatz Haderach of bad mayors makes me think it is also the podcast for

sabotabby. I'm going through the backlog, and next after Boris Johnson is Eric Adams, and my. body. is. ready.

With the influx of new people, I'm seeing a lot of introductory posts on my reading page. Here's me:

Liz
Thirty-six years old
Apparently that makes me part of the "Oregon Trail generation", except I had never heard of that game before the 2000s
Active in online fandom since age 17
Oh God, that's nearly 20 years
I got an invite to my 20 year high school reunion last month
I'm so old
I used to have so much mercy
Me thinking about other people: "Thirty-six is really young!"
Thinking about myself: "SO OLD."

Anyway, here's some stuff I've read and watched lately.

( TV, movies, podcasts, books ... a couple of books. )
