This is my last post on Twitter. You can find me at @TreeStarMan@mastadon.social. Hope to see you there.

@elonmusk Good bye, Elon.

The Branch Covidians are upset lol

Plenty of Totara regeneration in this Eucalyptus stand at Pukaka, north of Blenheim. #forest #climateAction #biodiversity

@Bandit Near Cheviot

My office today. 🙂 Doing biomass assays to measure carbon in trees. #climateAction #forest

A ground-based LiDAR scan of the base of a tree. We’re checking to see whether or not ground-based LiDAR adds anything to aerial drone-based LiDAR for predicting tree biomass. #climateAction #forest

@dvdjhnhll Sorry to hear that. I hope it’s not severe for you.

@notcapnamerica Jacinda Ardern is brilliant. #nzpol

Y’all wanna see a dead body?

So sorry to hear of her death. While Fleetwood Mac appeared to epitomise the notion that great art is built on suffering, she was the exception that broke that theory, providing a stable foundation that enabled the band the flourish. #FleetwoodMac theguardian.com/music/2022/dec…

It’s like a war, punctuated by guile, play acting and unwarranted head-holding combined with false impressions if having been hit by a Mack truck. Pathetic really. Certainly not #football. #ARGMEX #FIFAWorldCup

@JohnCleese They want more mass in their feet to get good distance, and internal redistribution of mass makes their arms so light that they naturally rise in the atmosphere.

World Cup football question... When players raise their arm just before they take a corner kick, are they signalling to people who can't see that they are about to take the corner kick ? Or is it a secret signal of some kind that the opposition are not supposed to see ?

@LI_politico Yum!

@jemmasplace He probably wants to build a wall somewhere. 🙂

I wonder what tomorrow's gem from Mr Luxon will be.

The @NZNationalParty's boot camp policy signals a departure from their pledge to rely on evidence. Reports world wide show that it won't work. It's clearly populist garbage. #nzpol

Absolutely awesome! #BlackFerns

@NZMorningReport Scott Simpson uses a strawman argument when he claims Jacinda Ardern wants Indonesian coal to be burned at Huntly power station. She has said no such thing. The @NZNationaIParty policy on climate change involves finding more fossil fuels to extract and burn.

#LISTEN 🔊 The National Party reaffirmed it will repeal the Govt's offshore oil and gas exploration ban if it wins next year's election. That stance earned a rebuke from current Climate Change Minister James Shaw, who described it as "bonkers". 📎 rnz.co.nz/national/progr…

And, to cap the evening off I pulled out the Astroscan. It still delivers a beautifully sharp, high contrast view, in some ways more satisfying than the 20x80s. #EclipseLunar #lunareclipse2022

Quite cool to see the eclipsed moon occulting stars.

I’m alternating between stunning views of Jupiter in my C11 and fabulous views of the lunar #eclipse. #astronomy
