Do you have a dark secret? Seems like a sweeping statement that "every person you know has a dark secret". I think mine are grubby grey at worst! 😆 From the hugely enjoyable "How to Die in Space" by Paul M Rutter. Currently learning about supermassive black holes.

Kākāpō numbers pass 300 for the first time in 75 years. New Zealand’s flightless, nocturnal parrot now totals 325 birds, after a record 90 chicks fledged this season, built on the Department of Conservation’s recovery programme, which started with just 51 birds in 1995. DOC buff.ly/7YIOBd9

“Intersex” is the “I” in LGBTQIA. Learned a lot, watching this.

I keep seeing this (youtu.be/u5kEbkeX_94?...) channel recommended to me on YouTube and it is just so frustrating because its purporting to use history to advise worldbuilders but it is just...off. Relentless autodidact problems where things are misinterpreted or misunderstood.

If you were wondering why people are being left to die in toilets in our hospitals currently, a quick glance at this graph of health workforce numbers under the last two governments tells you which one stopped hiring nurses and has been lying about it. #nzpol

A graph of NZ health workforce nursing FTEs over the years 2018-2025, with Labour's hiring in red and National's in blue. It's clear at a glance that hiring went steadily up under the last government and has been flat under this one.

“De-orbiting” is such a kind way to say “crashing”. Sometimes I really love #scientists and #engineers so so much!

I think this is my favourite sentence I've read this year: "Rome petered out, and upon that rock Christianity grew." I don't know if it counts as a pun, but it definitely counts as clever! Reading (and enjoying!) "A Brief History of Everyone Who Ever Lived" by @adamrutherford.bsky.social

I knew Henry Ford was unpleasant but I didn’t know just HOW unpleasant. Great episode from the “This Guy Sucked” podcast. (And boy, did this guy suck.) open.spotify.com/episode/6EFK...

The people who came up with the recommendation you spend 30 seconds washing your hands did not have to do this at an outdoor sink (cold water only) at 6am (dark) at 0 degrees C (frost). 🥶
