TLDR: This is one of my occasional collections of my summer reading and listening for paid subscribers. They will be heavy on fun things and always have a summery pic at the top, often involving photos of Kaka (including honorary kakas such as yesterday’s Kea…) They’re not guaranteed to be timely or comprehensive. The full daily newsletters restart on Jan 17. I welcome any of your long reads and fun things in the comments below.
