“Trump is a troll. And like all trolls, he is never funny and he never laughs; he only crows or jeers.
And scarily, he doesn’t just talk in crude, witless insults – he actually thinks in them. His mind is a simple bot-like algorithm of petty prejudices and knee-jerk nastiness.”
Paul offers some thoughts and insights regarding Trump, from a British perspective. I think the Australian view is similar, but members of our society are more likely to say, “well, what else would you expect from a Seppo1?” Disparaging critique is a key element of our culture.
Seppo, short for septic tank, which rhymes with Yank, which is slang for an American citizen. ↩︎

I was a user of Overcast from launch until last year. I switched to Castro and it’s inbox feature to help with podcast overwhelm. Now I’m trying Overcast again mainly because of boredom.

Watched the first episode of Mythic Quest on Apple TV+. Not sold, but not ready to give up, either. 📺
I was able to go lap swimming in my lunch break today. I am so aerobically unfit.

I am excited to be hosting Mark Ritson at an event next week. Anybody who is mentioned by @gruber is okay with me. I probably won’t raise John’s critique with him though.

iOS 13 is a dumpster fire. My iPhone crashes, hangs and generally craps out on an extremely regular basis. Not having the same issues with iPadOS, interestingly enough.
