Oh the tabs.
- Chris Quin is CE of Foodstuffs North Island. His chat with Morning Report on what they've been doing to get groceries through to Hawke's Bay, including helicopters....
- The nastiness is intrinsic to Dahl's work. Erasing it is a mistake. I still think that when rights-holders abandon the original works by making them unavailable, those works should enter the public domain. Especially if the author is already dead.

Government, despite the change at the top, is still trying to do too many things at the same time and risks making serious messes.
- Dileepa Fonseca also points to government capacity constraints. "...Wellington's workforce is already overwhelmed coping with the central government's demands at the moment..."
- Yeah, it'd be great if it were easier to import and use plasterboard in rebuilding from a cyclone.

- University of Canterbury's Covid response was risible.
- Effective Altruism in the classroom!
- Genetically modified trees that are sterile and so no wilding problem. But GE regs mean they can't be planted.
- Bryce Wilkinson on some of the problems in the RMA replacement bills
- The perils of trying to curtail hazily defined 'disinformation'
- The Future of Long COVID
- We don't need laws against scapling. And if a platform like Viagogo can't reliably make sure it isn't selling fake tickets, people won't use it.
