Loved the " Maybe we are at peak Mike and the tide will turn. " , James. People with any shred of intellect would realise if they fell into the sea and a great white turned towards them at 40ks/h it didn't care what they thought politically - correct or not, mysoginist etc, the shark just wants to be inclusive😀

Another one of your priceless pieces James to counter a bleak Melbourne day, (9 degrees in the am) and the Liberals choice of 4 moderates in their various leadership roles.

So there you have it!! I had a good belly laugh having read several times - of the ‘Mike’s,’ the devourer’s and the disgruntled. Brilliant James!!

Oh, too funny, too witty and too perceptive by far! James, what would we do without you?

I wonder if she finds other scientific fields also riddled by men..? or even day jobs such as bricklaying, building, boiler making, mechanics?

Expand full comment

Oh no, she's not interested in those jobs as they don't give women like Lisa the chance to bring attention to themselves, control others, or get paid well to do very little, other than promoting leftist ideologies.

Does she know if the scientist identify as women though 😆

I wonder how Mike Tyson former host of shark week feels about all this?

It sounds like the fish are getting a good dose of critical species theory... black fish are definitely oppressed even when they are not disadvantaged in the reef and great white sharks are the oppressors because of their obvious privilege being on top of the food chain and the Asian silver carps nobody cares about because they cannot be used even though they are the most successful on the reef. Life no longer is determined on who you are or what you can do it’s all about who is black or white and who can gain one superior virtue over another...being black or white really sucks as it is all about the colour of your scales and nothing else on woke reef!

Yes and don't forget the catfish, who is a fish that identifies as a cat.

For a truly eye-opening deep dive into the ever-darkening, shark infested waters of woke publications try these two free subscriptions. Taxpayer funded, “The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine provide independent, objective advice to inform policy with evidence, spark progress and innovation, and confront challenging issues for the benefit of society”. (Well - they used to.) Their free e-newsletter here: https://www.nationalacademies.org/subscribe

Then there is (partially free) The New England Journal of Medicine here: https://www.nejm.org/ (they will send you a weekly free email). This week they feature a medical fiction contest entry. In my opinion half of what they publish could have been entered into the contest to make it more interesting.

I am white and my name is Mike

If I see Lisa, I'll take a bite

Drop her in my tank and watch her squirm

It'll be on discovery's new series, the bass and the worm.

James, i get it that BLM...no argument from me, however, barramundi are among my favourite fish. Do i risk being cancelled if I continue to eat them?

Now I’ll have indigestion! Too many laughs at lunch. Maybe some of the “mikes” identified as women anyway! Hahaha. 🤣
