Mediocrity - it’s aspirational! You might think that must surely be the case based upon the evidence around you. Probably best not to do that. That sort of thing can lead to questions. Questions like - “why am I watching this execrable shit, am I just waiting to die?”
Lux-on is indeed 'a caricature of white male privilege in a suit', the epitome of mediocrity, an example of wet paint walking. His mindless appeal is his inability to say anything of substance or consequence.
I’m with you on Shamubeel, the sleep-adjacentness of Coast, which I inadvertently tuned into when trying to find Hauraki because RNZ is effing awful in the afternoon this week. In return I give you the One Breakfast team with the execrable and biased Matty and Jenny May, most of the NZH columnists who are on the payroll because they are willing to stick it to our government and blame everything on Jacinda.
But I can’t agree on Notting Hill, sorry Nick. Four Weddings is superior on every level.
I enjoyed your newsletter Nick and laughed out loud several times - very clever and funny. It never ceases to amaze me how the world is becoming more like the movie "Idiocracy" every day (nevermind a Meritocracy) with Americans voting in the mad Trump, the billionaire Musk trying to call the shots and throwing tantrums and our very own Tik Tok performing PM ...
OMG Nick how right you are. Another night of news and Harry the Mediocre is featured again. This country cant be too bad when we have to endure Harry every night.
Talk about God defend New Zealand, from these assholes... well said Nick

You rock!
great reading 🤓
"I'd rather die of thirst than drink from the cup of mediocrity."
BRILLIANT!
My first full read, thanks Nick for keeping me sane
