I do hope everyone from overseas who has been participating in Bird of the Year appreciates just where the winners, Karure, live. There was a whole lot of logistics involved in bringing them back from one breeding pair. www.rnz.co.nz/news/environ...

If, as seems to be the majority view here, you dislike the prospect of a world where human journalism and analysis is displaced by AI slop, have the self-awareness not to act annoyed and offended that the human labor of writing sometimes requires compensation.

I initially assumed that these would be a meh game tie-in but they're really not (I've only read the first couple). Well worth a read if you've played the game and they would stand alone as a sci-fi / archaelogical quest in their own right. Must start the second two now.

The Coriolis Effect means that all turntables imported to the Southern Hemisphere from the Northern Hemisphere need to be adapted by specialist engineers before they will work properly. Otherwise vinyl records play at the wrong speed due to the drag.

Help settle an argument about why they carve crosses in the bottom of Brussels Sprouts. My mum says it’s so they cook more evenly, I say it’s because they’re undead and it’s the only way to stop them coming back and eating your brains. My brother claims it’s so they expand on impact for a kill shot

🧵Hey lovely people. Big announcement today. We're launching an indie writing con based in Nelson New Zealand and Online in September & October 2026. So many awesome events, including in-person and online Tiny Moments workshops. beautifulwords.net

Short description: You're looking at an image of a sun drenched beach at low tide with a table featuring a typewriter on it in the foreground. The words Beautiful Words, An Indie Writing Con Based in Sunny Nelson, New Zealand & Online, 1 September - 10 October 2026 are superimposed over the sand and sky above the typewriter and table. Longer description. The table's covered in a red and white check table cloth, hand sewn and if you zoomed in you'd see that I am an anarchist who does not care about snipping loose threads. There's a cup of black tea in a vintage blue and white china cup, the sort your nan might have owned, and some biscuits on the saucer under the cup. They're an anzac biscuit and a fairy biscuit, which is essentially sprinkles on icing on a sweet bikkie. The typewriter on the table is green and quite stylish. This is a typewriter you could take to a fancy dinner and it wouldn't be out of place. There's also a small white tea pot on the table, a shell and a small purple vase with a wayward bit of greenery sticking out of it. In front of the table is a stool with a retro black and white cushion on it. Why is this table at the beach? Ask the batty author who lugged it there a month ago in a beach wagon and they won't quite be able to tell you. But you can definitely picture that author munching on a biscuit or ten while taking this picture. The beach is sprawling, the sky a brilliant clear blue and there are mountains in the background because it is New Zealand and those suckers lurk everywhere. The writing superimposed over the top is in orange and blue. The overall vibe is an author who's sorted a writing con for the past three months and isn't quite sure what sane is anymore. Why else would they lug a typewriter, a tea set, a teapot and biscuits to the beach? Maybe they need another one of those biscuits. They're rather delicious. Especially the anzac ones.
