Remembering Alfonso Cabeza de Vaca y Leighton, 11th Marquess of Portago, aka Alfonso de Portago, Spanish nobleman, racing driver, bobsleigh driver & jockey, born #OnThisDay in ’28. He started 5 #F1 GPs in ’56 & ’57, & he finished 2nd, beaten only by Juan Manuel Fangio, at Silverstone in ’56.

Friday: GeoNet's quake and tsunami monitoring centre went dark for eight hours, reportedly a first. Not enough staff. The PSA says cuts took $4m and a quarter of its staff. NEMA warned of the risk in 2024. Mark Mitchell (emergencies): not my portfolio. Penny Simmonds (science): silent. #nzpol

Lack of staff closes earthquake monitoring centre, Labour decries Govt cuts

The closure at GeoNet meant inaccuracies, known as 'ghost quakes', could occur.

How does a patch of warmer-than-normal water in the Pacific shift weather patterns thousands of kilometres away? This week’s new graphic and write-up explains how. www.climatetrunk.com/infographics... Visual #29 of 150 odd is on #ElNiño @climatetrunk.bsky.social @skepticalscience.bsky.social

El Niño reshuffles heat across the Pacific Ocean and into the atmosphere. This year’s Super El Niño is landing on top of a much hotter world, amplifying climate impacts already being felt.

It’s easy, if you want a party that will drive social welfare and tax reform, look after our planet and make things more affordable for the vast majority of Kiwis, party vote Greens (candidate vote Labour if you must) Anything else is a vote for National and by assoc a vote for ACT & NZF #nzpol

Treating the acquisition of 'AI' tools for all tertiary education institutions in Aotearoa as merely 'a commercial matter' seems like something way beyond folly given the likely impact on teaching, learning, assessment, research, etc. Not to mention the privacy and theft of IP implications. #nzpol

The audiobook for A WALL IS ALSO A ROAD is low-key blowing up, and it's all because of the incredible narrator Jess Nahikian, who is delivering queer David Attenborough vibes. Here is a delicious sample for you to hear! Get the audiobook wherever they are sold, or check it out from your library!

ACT MPs rolled into Tauranga in their big pink bus - Big Pinky - on Monday. Voters urged them to do more on race-relations and one law for all. Stuff joined them for the day.

F1 driver Carlos Sainz is curled up asleep on a blue race car bed sized for a child. He is wearing white pyjamas with a blue stripe down the sides and white socks with blue heels and toes. He is holding a blue and white race helmet. There is a small white stuffed animal tucked into the bed beside him. The bed has the number 55 at the foot/the race car’s nose.

As of today, the CDC has changed (reverted) their Covid guidance to make the vaccine recommended for all people over 18. In addition to being a smart public health move, this recommendation also means insurance must cover it. Read more here: www.cdc.gov/covid/hcp/va... Listen to a breakdown here:
