Bienvenue au takahē !
L’espèce avait été officiellement déclarée éteinte en 1898. Plus de 50 ans plus tard quelques individus ont été découverts, l’espèce a été protégée et compterait aujourd’hui 500 individus. 18 ont été réintroduits dans la nature le mois dernier en Nouvelle-Zélande.

#Carbon fibers is a pretty cool material and brought so many improvements to modern #sailing, such as #foiling.
Buuuuuut ... it's also sometimes quite fragile 🙃

“A REVOLUTIONARY CHANGE”
In the opinion of Mr. M. J. Savage, M.P., there must be a revolutionary change of Government.… the danger of Labour’s accession to power lay in this… not gradual progress, step by step to a new order of things, but an alteration in outlook and methods so radical that it would defeat its own object, and would bring disaster upon the country.…

#nzpol #NZTwits #NewZealand #Voting
Overseas Voting in the New Zealand General Election begins September 27th.
I have a goal. I literally want to be the first person to cast my vote, digitally signed with a witness, as soon as ballot papers are available.
I am in the electorate of Dunedin, and I plan to vote two ticks Green this election.
Francisco Hernandez is the candidate for Dunedin I most support, and the Greens have earned my trust and vote through their mahi.
Good luck and vote!

Been back to #Aotearoa #newzealand this week for work and see family. Always stop by Real Groovy Records. Continuing my obsession with #jazz picked up these second hand but may as well be new. Both are excellent. The Stanley Turrentine features Ron Carter and George Benson #nowspinning #NowPlaying #NowListening #Vinyl #VinylRecords #vinylcollection @vinylrecords

I don't know who of you are into #Rugby but #France just won the #RugbyWorldCup opening game against #NewZealand, and that feels good 😁
#newzealand #RugbyWorldCup #france #rugby
#ireland want to try to get a quarter final against #newzealand .
#rugbyworldcup2023 #newzealand #ireland
#RWC2023 #FRAvNZL #Rugby fun first half for the crowd, great spectacle. Question now, who comes out swinging after the break? #France with their composed discipline, or #NewZealand with their appetite and prowess on the edges?
Either way, great advert for the sport, two fantastic teams nipping at each other's heels, let's see who opens this up in the second half.
