Enjoying the #kākāpō cam? Now you can imagine what the kākāpō-bear's den looks like. If you want to add some #NZ native wildlife to your D&D 5e game, pick up my book:

"Flying in on helicopters and expressing sympathy for stricken families and communities is pointless if your policies are failing to address climate change, and making matters worse. New Zealanders who want a different kind of world, and a different kind of politics have choices to make this year."

A weird side effect of all kākāpō being named and monitored: we sound like we're small town gossips keeping up with the latest scandals.
Two more #kākāpō matings last night, both on Anchor:
- Boomer 💚 Horton
- Konini 💚 Quill
Here's Boomer during the last breeding season.

Last week no living person had seen a #kakapo lay an egg. Now you can watch it on our webcam: Rakiura laid her second today (15:01 on 25/1/2025). She'll probably lay another in 3 days' time. #conservation #kakapo2026 #birds www.doc.govt.nz/our-work/kak...

Aotearoa whānau: I have a new interest in how the old COVID tracer app worked, especially regarding privacy and data collection. Do you know where I could find any technical discussions, retrospectives, or people I could chat with about it?

One of the most fun things to learn about are bee mimics; flies that have evolved to look like bees for various reasons. Now I can't stop spotting them in the wild.
