I’m currently sitting on a plane flying into Wellington from Sydney and I am quietly dying inside knowing what is to come 🫣
There’s a live (ish) webcam on Stuff of planes landing in Te Whanganui-a-Tara in this wind and I think it’s fair to say some passengers will never fly here again.

Possibly the most chaotic #museum collection I've ever seen: a drawer containing literally thousands of pinned #flies, at the Chau Chak Wing Museum at @sydney.edu.au.
True fact: this drawer contains more museum objects than the entire UK National Gallery.

Anthropic’s $1.5 Billion Speeding Ticket
It’s the largest copyright settlement in history. But for Anthropic, it’s a toll booth, not a stop sign.
