Finally, some good news!
Australia's humpback whales are doing so well that their population is expected to reach carrying capacity and plateau in the near future--they have not just reached but exceeded pre-whaling numbers. For this to happen with such a long-lived, slow-reproducing species is near miraculous. #goodnews
These whales were hunted to 150 individuals. Now there are 50,000 of them
Once hunted almost to extinction, the population of humpback whales currently migrating down Australia's east coast has bounced back and is now greater than before whaling.

OnlyFans’ accounts for 2024 have finally been published. They expect to pay c£130m in UK corporation tax.
That’s about the same sum that Camden council earn from council tax. A successful taxpaying UK media company!

Humans are just a knotty arrangement of Cs, Hs and Os. Like life, death can be viewed unsentimentally as a slow unspooling into water and carbon dioxide. So no, pedantically speaking, to dust we shall not return

Things generally should be shorter not longer and new rather than old
Look, sorry, just explain, as a business proposition, who the imagined audience for “the same look, style and design as the Harry Potter films, which are good, but with an extra six hours per film and a longer wait between installments” IS.

An enigmatic stained glass portrait, from the late fifteenth century, in the Old Library of Queens’ College Cambridge. Likely rescued from the Carmelite monastery situated next to the college & suppressed in 1538. Pleasingly the windows in which they are now placed overlook the former monastic site.

Did I mention I have a podcast? There aren't enough of those.
Anyway, the advantage of mine is it's not much commitment. Each episode ten minutes long. A nice story, and hopefully you learn a bit about science too.
The latest one is about electrocuting monks.
