#nzpol Sometimes a policy is so stupid it makes you question the very fabric of reality. Decisions so fabulously, almost wantonly dumb, you wonder if we actually live in a simulation. Welcome to the world of removing Jobseeker Support for 18 & 19-year-olds. craigrenney.substack.com/p/a-small-wr...
A small wrinkle in the Jobseeker policy
The government’s recent changes to benefits feel like this: the house is on fire, and this policy is them turning off the smoke alarm and saying it’s fixed

Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users.

While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.

A really interesting interview with Pulitzer Prize-winning American playwright, Paula Vogel www.rnz.co.nz/national/pro...

A delightful quote at the end of the interview
Paula Vogel asks, "What are our Theatres, our Art, for if it's not to renew our eyesight?
Pulitzer Prize-winning American playwright, Paula Vogel
Paula Vogel's Mother Play is an absurd, funny, and unflinching exploration of family, identity, and the ties that both bind and break us.
