Regular readers, and those who pay attention to such things, will be aware that Guy Rundle was sacked from the now-revolting Crikey. This came after that scrag Karvelas and her thug ABC bosses whined about Rundle for texting true stuff about Karvelas’s false stuff. Then, the editors of the academic left Arena magazine, for which over many years Rundle has devoted a huge amount of time and concern, posted a note that they were “dismayed” at Rundle’s text to Karvelas’s program, and that they were placing Rundle in purgatory. Because of course nothing trumpets strength and solidarity more than wetting your pants when a colleague suggests that social justice hysteria is a thing.
Guy Rundle has now gone to Substack. Readers can subscribe for free and, at least for now, all Rundle’s articles are open access. Readers might also consider paying for a subscription, as I have done ($10 per month or $95 per year).* The paying subscription grants you “saintliness” and the ability to comment.
Guy’s first three articles/newsletters/whatevers are linked below. They are very good, particularly on the madness of Trump’s regime, and the madness of the media coverage of the madness.
Spec No. 1: Present At The Cartoon Nation
Spec No. 2: Clueless in Gaza
Spec No 3: 13.02
