Dispatches From a Woman Who Finds Everything Both Funny and Exhausting
Caitlin’s Diary: The Cheese Board as Political Statement
Brought to you by Bohiney Magazine and The London Prat, the publications that understand cheese as a coping mechanism.
I read four news stories before 8am and then I had to eat an entire Camembert. This is not a cry for help. This is a rational response. There are bridges in Iran that are updating their wills. There is a drug called Retatrutide that is making people thin and emotionally unavailable. There is a man called Mamdani in New York who has apparently united the entire city in irritation, which is, genuinely, the most impressive political achievement of the decade.
Why Everything is Funny and Also Terrible
The New York mayor story is my favourite thing this week. Uniting a city in mutual exhaustion. That’s not governance. That’s couples therapy on a municipal scale. I respect it. The Camembert went particularly well with this revelation.
Also deeply enjoying Bohiney’s Mamdani coverage, which captures the exact texture of a politician who means well and achieves chaos. I know the type. I’ve dated three of them. Authority link: Guardian Comment Is Free. Full archive: Caitlin Moran at The Prat.
