If the newsletter arrives early, it must be a Panel day. Good afternoon, readers who requested that I alert you when this happens: I will be on RNZ at 3.45pm today.
Do by all means tune in to hear if poor old Uncle Dave has managed to leave behind his Covid brain, or if he remains — to quote a dyspeptic correspondent from last night — a complete plonker. I was a little surprised, tbh. I really thought, given that I wound up last night’s edition with reference to our inclination to go straight to polarised infective, that he might have at least begun with something like with all due respect. But then I realised this was the person of whom I had written in the newsletter a couple of weeks ago involving unreconstructed Te Tiriti bigotry. Haere ra, buddy.
Twitter is all but dead to me now, but I do have some leftovers I collected there that are too good to discard; things that made me say: No way! I've got to put this in the newsletter; or That's so true, I have to share that.
