Neurology patient sees specialist faster as a tourist in France than back home
It comes as a new study from the University of Otago shows neurologists will struggle to keep up with the increase in demand for diagnosis and treatment of conditions.

The surge in violence meted out by ICE absolutely should continue to be condemned, but I think a lot of people didn't realize or care that activists have been facing life-altering injury from cops for generations. "Law enforcement" has always been the violence. It ALL needs to stop.

Today we are launching a new intitative of Stand With Minnesota—KeepMNHoused.com, a rent-relief campaign backed with a $1.5 matching fund from the Wilson Foundation.
Thousands of MN families are at risk of eviction because of the ICE occupation’s lasting impacts. We can keep them housed.

Seems like a major step backwards?
The government yesterday passed a law that basically makes it possible for every NZ employee to be reclassified as a specified contractor, so they don’t get minimum wage, holidays, rights to fairness etc. Not only Uber Drivers. NZ First supported btw.

Horrified tonight to see Labour voting for a govt bill allowing Work & Income to claw back assistance already granted - under urgency, with no public input. Friends in the party - how can you expect anyone who supports welfare justice to vote Labour this year? #nzpol @kikorangi.bsky.social

This is the kind of thing white supremacists have been doing to Emmett Till’s memorial for decades.
It’s wild to see them do this to a white woman who the entire world saw extrajudicially murdered.

Someone doused Renee Good’s Minneapolis memorial and a nearby pile of wood with gasoline and started a fire at about 9 p.m. Tuesday.

And, again, I think of the opportunity cost of not doing this. The stories, visions, insights, that we miss because only the wealthy can comfortably create.
I'm not a creative. But I can see how this would benefit me by making the world more colourful.

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland.
And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

I’m constantly astounded at the sheer level of artistic production coming out of Iceland. Novels, movies, music. Amazing.
