Can we have a discussion about this? And the BlueSky exodus? I’m genuinely curious to hear views on it. My gut instinct is not to cede territory. To not do what Musk wants. But I’m interested to hear views.

Happiest of publication days to our November books. We have the dark laughs, the grapple with existential dread, the political memoir, the book you must read if you want to start a band in Aotearoa, and a world where things become clearer in reverse ...
