i've said it before, but we must seem like Ents to cats.

just slow, lumbering, well-meaning ancient tree things that inexplicibly have access to tuna and cheese. so are worth tolerating.

I'm finally so excited to share this!

My second PhD paper, and what I've spent the last year working on ...

We've discovered not one, BUT TWO, profile change events on the closest and brightest millisecond pulsar (MSP) to Earth!

Are millisecond Pulsars, nature's cosmic clocks, as stable as we once thought?

A new study by @rami.spaceaustralia.com has reported the discovery of two consecutive profile change events on PSR J0437-4715.

My final zoo visit (for now) was to Sydney Zoo which only opened in 2019 and I'm sure was named primarily for SEO reasons. It has less appeal for me personally (many primates, hardly any birds), but it did introduce me to the eldritch horror that is an Ostrich's armpit.

I did a double take on that tile intro that says “750-tonne” because that would have made this an extremely dense material given its size relative to humans.

It’s a typo and it’s actually 750-kg (inside article).

Context for overseas friends …. we have random big things in Australia!

Hi, I would like to tell you about the company whose AI agents spammed me four times in the past three hours.

If you are a creative, particularly one who does #freelance, you need to know about the dystopian iLands business model. Keep yourself safe.

This scraper account posts other people’s stuff without credit. They grudgingly post a separate attribution after the fact, if enough people call them out.

Any time an account says “dm me if you own the original,” just put them on the block list. Don’t let these accounts get a foothold here.

This Finnish guy has been teaching himself Sumerian, and sent a cuneiform tablet to the British Museum to check his progress.

They just emailed him that they've sent him something in the post.

I'm now thrilled and excited for a total stranger! Clay tablet mail!

Happy Rice Truck Day to all who observe
4 yrs ago today, a family member managed a truly spectacular own goal, splintered his domestic bliss, & in the process, united the world for a day.

On popular request, I shall now recreate the livetweet thread from that day

So gather around children, for this is the tale of The Rice Truck Saga

An incredible image, and overall winner of this year's Australian Geographic Nature Photography award.

Using a DJI Mavic 3 Pro (drone), Matt Deakin captured an extremely rare moment - seeing a critically endangered Sawfish in the wild and passing by a Turtle, off the Pilbara coast in WA.
