You Can’t Post Your Way Out of Fascism Authoritarians and tech CEOs now share the same goal: to keep us locked in an eternal doomscroll instead of organizing against them, Janus Rose writes.

Our interview with his Mum was one of my favourites from Issue 1 of the magazine. A unique insight into a well trodden story.

Happy for Lyn, there is no doubt Ross was a very naughty boy, but I don't know if a whole life sentence was right in the grand scheme of things.

WEED, KETAMINE, MARS, HITLER.

What a delightfully action-packed article.

Always feels good to get the year running with a heavyweight piece like this. Is ketamine to blame for Musk's behaviour or is it something deeper?

β€˜You tried to tell yourself I wasn’t real’: what happens when people with acute psychosis meet the voices in their heads? The long read: In avatar therapy, a clinician gives voice to their patients’ inner demons. For some of the participants in a new trial, the results have been astounding

This year I am embracing a 4 day week mindset with Fridays away from the desk.

Started off with this belting long read, where people with psychosis get to sit down and talk to the voices they hear. Fascinating stuff:

Looking to speak to any harm reduction or drug policy experts about ketamine reclassification.

Specifically why it is destined to fail and what the HO should do instead.
