Melatonin to be sold over-the-counter; psilocybin to be prescribed Melatonin will become available over the counter, and psilocybin - magic mushrooms - will be available for patients with treatment-resistant depression, David Seymour has announced.

Stopped clock moment for Seymour.

It would be great if America’s pundits would pause this entire genre. “Burning down my house means I don’t need to take out the trash!” Your cleverness is not winning the day right now.

just a reminder that only water goes in your eyes, don’t wear contacts to a protest if you can help it, hot showers will hurt like hell if you have mace or gas residue on your skin. turn off face ID on your phone. pick a buddy & never leave their side. if detained, ask for a lawyer & then shut up.

Don’t sit this one out. The Regulatory Standards Bill is a direct threat to all of us.

It’s a gift to corporates. It favours privatisation & cuts to public services.

If there’s one thing you do this weekend, make a submission and get a mate to do one too.

Closes 1pm, Mon 23 June 2025.

There is already a nuclear-armed country in the Middle East that does not allow international inspectors despite having nukes for decades - and it’s not Iran.

Israel is also one of a handful of countries to have never signed the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons.

오늘 날씨 너무 좋당💕 며칠 비가 부슬부슬하더니 간만에 햇빛이 쨍하네!

A similar logic applies to taxing businesses on how much profit they make, not how they make it, when addressing environmental issues/externalities. There's $9k of activity behind the $1k of profit which delivers $200 of tax. $200 won't fix $9k of pollution; you need to tax the pollution directly.

You can never recoup lost tax revenue through economic growth. Why? Math.

Assume an economy with $100 in taxable income with a 20% tax rate. The government gets $20 in taxes.

Now assume a 10% tax cut. The government gets 18%. What will the government need to earn to get back to $20?

히히 베프가 오늘 반차 냈대서 통화 걸었는데 떠들다 보니 2시간 반이나 지났다 ㅋㅋㅋㅋ 멜번에 잡오퍼 받아서 한참 고민하더니, 안 가는 쪽으로 마음 먹은 듯!

Santana will try and push through their fast tracked gold mine within a matter of weeks. So it’s important that as many people as possible are informed, understand some of the horrendous issues, and know what they can do about it.

프로퍼티 매니저 분은 짧은 머리에 에너지 넘치시는 게 약간 내 고등학교 불어 선생님이 생각남 ㅎㅎ 재밌는 건, 웰링턴 출신이신 것도 모자라 스윗맨 어머니 (+ 큰 이모들)과 같은 고등학교 나오셨다고 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Small world야 진짜

와 역대급으로 괜찮은 집주인 + 프로퍼티 매니저 조합을 만난 것 같아서 감격스럽다 🥹🥹 집주인 할아버지는 샤워 고쳐주시느라 벌써 몇번 다녀가셨는데 완전 동화책에 나오는 백발의 농부 할아버지st ㅎㅎ

Excerpt from Stuff 29 April 2025... A main focus of Tuesday’s speech was debt. “The interest bill on Government debt has soared from $3.6b in 2014 to $8.9b last year. That’s an awful lot of money,” Willis told the crowd at Metco’s factory. She noted the annual interest payments New Zealand was making, issuing about $500 million of Treasury bonds each week, amounted to more than was spent on law and order and defence combined.

This misleading crap just gets spilled out into the media with barely any challenge. The purpose of course is to convince us that cuts to public services and the sale of assets to rentiers are all very necessary indeed. TINA. Let's unpick these manipulative stats... [Geek Level Medium to High 🧵1/n]

I'm so tired of the lack of curiosity. Ask a follow-up question ffs. Someone explain to us why we need to make line go up and why it's worth the appalling social cost.

It'd be great if any political reporter could ask the government why it is so important for "Hard working Kiwis" that the country get into surplus.

What would that look like for your average family. What programs would get funded that can't be while there's a deficit.

What was on press secretary Michael Forbes’ phones? Police seized two phones from Forbes, a senior government press secretary, who was accused of recording sex workers.

Here’s the basis for why all hell would have broken loose on the ninth floor of the Beehive on Tuesday.

Those are not downstream from technologies in point of fact even though tech oligarchs desperately want us to believe they are. They know things can be rejected at the level of customs & norms—that’s why they lean SO hard on advertising to get buy in & fake narratives of inevitability early on.

Technologies, even widespread ones, do not *necessarily* determine social norms and goods. If you can’t stop a social harm on the level of force/physical coercion (technology) you can often stop it on the level of consensus (custom, norms, law, governance).

The lock & door technologies most people use—not all but vast majority—aren’t really protecting your home. What is protective is the social contract that says we don’t bust into each other’s homes & steal property just because it’s a simple, lucrative thing to do that’s usually easy to get away with

Whatever you do, they'll be stunning!! Please share pictures once you do 😍

I feel like you need to turn them into a vector and get them printed! Or use a Cricut type gizmo, maybe?

Sketch I drew of the ornately carved prow of a Māori waka (canoe).

What started as a simple sketch idea for some Matariki decorations ended up being a bit too ornate for something I’m planning to make out of black card and glitter sharpies and not much free time lol

Oh these are BEAUTIFUL wow

How a former factory worker rose to South Korea’s presidency 'My personal experiences made me aware of how cruel this world can be to those who have nothing,' said Lee Jae-myung.

South Korea's new president, Lee Jae-myung, has had an extraordinary life and a uniquely difficult path to the presidency. My latest:
