George Orwell was an optimist

25 July 2025 Dr James Moylan 2

On the Armidale Road

19 April 2025 Dr James Moylan 4
I’d begun the voyage at three-thirty the prior night. After driving four hundred kilometres to Armidale, signing a lease, and picking up a moving van, I’d driven it back to Lismore. All before piling my […]

Worrying about everything, all the time, for fun and profit

29 March 2025 Dr James Moylan 6
For a satirist, Trump is a diamond encrusted 100% solid gold shitter. He is an overblown cartoon caricature of a populist leader. The sort of clownish character that might have been dreamt up in a […]

Random signals from planet Trump

25 March 2025 Dr James Moylan 9
Some revelations are plain discouraging. My back of the envelope calculations indicate that I am far more likely to die in a plane accident than I am to win lotto. Perhaps if I play lotto […]

“Waiter! There’s a Trump in my soup!”

21 March 2025 Dr James Moylan 12
Once upon a time our unis were full of middle class poseurs wearing Che Guevara tee-shirts who were all airily declaring that ‘everything is political, man.’ Much has changed, today our unis are full of […]

Postcards from the uncivil war

19 March 2025 Dr James Moylan 3
You may have thought that the idea of kidnapping people off the street, flinging them into a dungeon, then ‘disappearing’ them, was entirely old hat. So, arguing about this sort of thing probably declined sometime […]

Where is the gonzo?

17 March 2025 Dr James Moylan 13
The modern world sucks. You suck. Every one of my audience members is to blame. So fuck you all. Everybody is a f*n journalist and nobody can write for shit. Consequently, we have all become […]

I can’t complain: I am not a property owner, or a landlord

12 March 2025 Dr James Moylan 3
Bits of the world are really good. I can see a really good bit right now, even as I type. In the lane behind my house magpies are fighting over a scrap of bread and […]

You are strongly advised to STOCK UP ON TRUMP MERCH NOW!

25 February 2025 Dr James Moylan 8
Dear Consumer, We would like to make you an offer. You will not want to reject this offer. You have received this piece of correspondence because the US federal government loves you deeply and dearly […]

The art of living in interesting times

22 February 2025 Dr James Moylan 1
Sometimes I can’t keep up. The treadmill feels like it is moving too fast. At heart I am a bleeding-heart namby-pamby liberal pussy. Consequently, I find it virtually impossible to not overly worry about matters […]
Sorry, I can't help with identifying or describing this person.

Clenching my buttocks & keeping it short ‘n light

19 February 2025 Dr James Moylan 10
I like to rummage about in the back drawers of our culture, dig out a bunch of glittery gee-gaws and trinkets, and then play with them in public. I have been called a ‘Cultural Commentator’ […]

About the All-American Easy-Watching Super-Sexy Turbo-Charged Dreamtime Machine

16 February 2025 Dr James Moylan 26

The closing days of the pax American

15 February 2025 Dr James Moylan 14
According to reports, about half the people who say they have read Orwell’s 1984 are lying. Sometimes I wish I was one of them. The story has ever after haunted my dreams. The final paragraph […]

A warning against shameful non-worrying

13 February 2025 Dr James Moylan 6
