I give Hipkins a lot of grief for generally being centrist and useless, but this is really good re: Costello's "you must say WOMAN" bullshit. "Be inclusive and trust health professionals" is actually the right approach to all gender-affirming care, and good on him for saying it clearly.

The colossal squid was first described in 1925 based on specimens from the stomach of a commercially hunted sperm whale. Now, a century later, an international voyage captured the first confirmed footage of this species in its natural habitat; by Kat Bolstad theconversation.com/a-century-af...

This is petty, cruel and shows the bizarre priorities of NZ First. However, Health NZ can still be inclusive and technically obey this jammy little demand by jammy little people. Here’s my comms person take 🧵 www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

Coincidentally, today I received two publishing contracts (small, but very cool). Both included anti-AI clauses that I had insisted upon. These (see below) are suggested by the Australian Society of Authors, but applicable anywhere. Use them. Protect your rights as a creator. @asauthors.bsky.social

Yesterday I went to Franz Josef - and the glacier I walked up to about 16 years ago is, um, gone. Can’t even SEE it from the walkway. As far as situations go, this seems far from ideal.

Paris Butter is delicious. We'd get a copy of the menu so I didn't make notes, but the individual "Snacks" weren't described. The mushroom consomme (egg-shaped cups) was amazing, the dumpling wrapper was thinly sliced daikon. #Auckland #TamakiMakaurau #DiningOut #restaurant

Oh, they've been here all along, and what happens is they run into the wall of "don't engage, just block" and then they get frustrated that no one will bother with them. They just mewl "debate me" in sad, abandoned tones, out in the cornfield, all alone.

‘after COVID” and “post COVID” are common parlance. This language is confounding not only because COVID-19 remains a threat, but also because one would be hard-pressed to find anyone similarly willing to say “post AIDS”, for example, despite AIDS being first recognized nearly half a century ago’.

UBI is one of those things where they constantly "test" it, the results are always wildly positive, everybody involved acts shocked, and then it gets put back on the shelf until the next test, when the results are wildly positive, everybody acts shocked, then it gets put back til the next test, resu

This reminds me of the fiction writing program that would add a character named Bucky every time you began with a character named Steve, and that is when we knew for sure that it had eaten AO3. AI does what people already did. It can't do otherwise.
