An extinct bird’s egg. A Colorado auction. A very overdue trip home. 🥚🇳🇿
After roughly 60 years in a private American collection, this rare moa egg is returning to Aotearoa New Zealand. We bought it to bring it home, under Ngāi Tahu’s guidance.

A @NASA doctor told @RichardGarriott his eyesight ruled him out as an astronaut. He found a private route to space and reached the ISS in 2008.
In last week’s episode, he and @slickf16 covered @Starlab_Space and the economics of commercial space.

Ideal Dragon is putting out feelers for volunteers willing to help translate "Ultima 8: Exult" to other languages besides English...when it's ready.

Hard to think of a wilder product unveiling. Not sure how quickly drivers are going to be leaping over each other in traffic, but damn, this was a cool way to introduce Roadster to the world.

From Sunday's Ultima VII Revisited stream: prototype "Real-Time With Pause" combat for Ultima VII!

So I booted up Ultima IV for the first time in years to get some footage for a video I'm making, and then ended up playing it all day. It's just as good as it ever was.
(Why did I need Ultima IV footage? You'll see.)

Another way to think about Trump announcement today: If he increased US diesel imports from Canada by 4%, he would gain as much fuel as from this Russia deal. But the Canadians are global super-villains, so who wants to buy from them when you could enrich Putin instead?

The brown howler monkey can hit ~140 dB, making it one of the loudest land animals on Earth. Louder than motorcycles, ambulance sirens, and most rock concerts. After nearly 200 years of silence, those howls are returning to Rio's Tijuca National Park.

Blue is the world's favorite color. It's also one of nature's rarest. Evolution had to invent chemistry tricks, diet hacks, and microscopic light-bending just to create it. Now we're working to bring the bluebuck, and a little more blue, back to Africa. 😎
