Working with #kakapo, this is the best thing you'll ever see. When "candling" an egg you hold your breath, hoping to see this: beautiful embryo development in a fertile egg. This is Tiwhiri's second egg, about 8 days old. About half of eggs are infertile. #kakapo2026 #conservation #birds

Hey look it's some good news!
Reading more into this it seems like a double win!
The company announced not only is it dropping this project but instead is choosing to invest in renewables!
Talk about whiplash reading!
This is a big deal. This was a $10B project.

The Māori named it 'kororā.'
Australians call it the fairy penguin. 🐧🧚

Maybe you've heard some version of this quotation by Bertrand Russell:
"The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt."
It's as true today as then, but I want to unpack the context: opposition to fascism.
