Nonsense knows no borders

Mark Honeychurch - 4 March 2024

Another fortnight, another newsletter. Thanks to everyone who’s been ensuring that I have good skeptical content to publish. And, dear reader, if you think you have a skeptical story in you that you want to tell, I would love to hear from you. If you’re not sure if you’re able to write a compelling story, don’t worry - I’m more than happy to help you craft something that will pass muster. And if you’re concerned that you’ll be too verbose, I’m happy to cut down your story to a more manageable size - or, more likely, serialise it and publish it in multiple issues. And, remember, if you write us an article and you’re happy joining us on the NZ Skeptics’ podcast, Yeah… Nah!, we’d love to talk with you there as well. Just reply to this email to get in contact with me, or email news@skeptics.nz, if you think you might have something that is worth sharing.

This week’s newsletter contains mainly stories from overseas. Bronwyn has written about the current madness in Alabama, which was already known for not being a commonsense state before their recent daft law changes. I’ve looked into an internet drama involving an American streaming queen. Craig keeps it local by talking about the pending closure of Newshub in a few months’ time. And, finally, Louise has looked into the goings on with the new monarch in my home country, the UK, where King Charles (I’m still not getting used to writing or saying that) has a lot of silly ideas about health.
