Kmele is apparently debating anarcho-capitalism with a hobo in Austin, so Moynihan and Welch—both fighting general exhaustion and an inexplicable, Carter-like malaise—decide to soldier on, gamely sifting through the Fifth’s ever-expanding mail bag. But what starts off as a rather calm and polite dispatch ends…with a spirited discussion of civil war, Michael Malice vs. David French, and an astonishingly shitty person in New Jersey.

Some lowlights:

When a French person tries to learn about baseball
When your daughter’s a narc
DEI is bringing people together!
But anyway, rest in peace…
Don’t mention Kafka or Orwell
Be like Howard, people
Bad books win big awards
Academic books on Cuba always suck
The root cause of East German neo-Nazism and the Hungarian porn industry
Revealed: Matt was the lil’ Fred Phelps of 1970s Long Beach
Three minutes on Chile, ten seconds on Bolshies, and thirty seconds on the Bolshies and Israel
Before Covid, we used to be drunker
Where do we come down on David French, Michael Malice, and the “national divorce”
Fan fiction and rewriting Joe Biden’s speeches
The intellectual trap of the ‘intellectual elites who hate us”
It’s not why they hate us. It’s why we hate them.
Paul from Princeton is an unfunny dick
