I really hope you’re right, and some of their rushed decisions make it seem like they think the same, but National is still polling 10% higher than Labour.

We did it Patrick! We saved Palestine!
Thanks. Unless something has drastically changed I’ll be safe but will be losing a lot of good colleagues.
Part of the stress is that there’s no funding for the next 3 years and therefore very little work. There’s a wave of redundancies that’ll be announced this coming week.
Going to be tough.
If they could read they’d be very upset.
Surprised china has few
Been off on stress leave the last couple of days but I’m lucky to have an extremely supportive manager. They let me take the days off without using annual or sick leave. Also found a good psychotherapist through work’s EAP services which has helped.
Been having an ultra shitty week but this has put a smile on my face. What a time to be alive that I can watch this all the way in NZ with decent sound and visual clarity.
Not just the US. Can’t access it from NZ either.
I definitely prefer the vibe of lemmy but there’s still communities I visit on Reddit for reviews and discussions about more niche topics.
Just buy a Hugo Boss suit circa 1930s. That’s who designed the nazi uniforms.
Thought it was underwater for a moment based on the thumbnail. Cool find!
“Thanks, I hate it” is the phrase you’re looking for.
Good question, I have no idea.
To be honest I only stumbled across this news article a few days back and hadn’t heard anything about the trial until then. Seems like a success story that needs to be broadcast loudly and widely to make sure it continues.
I really hope they don’t cut the Counselling in Schools programme.
A scheme that provides counselling in more than 200 primary schools makes distressed children feel better, improves behaviour, and raises attendance.
An Education Review Office (ERO) report - published today - provides evidence that Counselling in Schools, a $44-million scheme introduced in 2021, worked well.
Teachers told review officers the scheme reduced disciplinary problems and children who received counselling were less likely to “punch first, talk later”.
Encouragingly, eight in 10 students report improved psychological health after receiving counselling, and students with the most psychological distress have the largest improvement. Of the 71 percent of students who entered counselling reaching the clinical cut-off for distress, almost half no longer reach the cut-off for psychological distress at the end of counselling. This is a very positive outcome."
This seems to be one of the most effective mental health initiatives of recent times and hits a number of National’s supposed priorities. Unfortunately though I don’t have much faith that they’ll keep investing in it.
I was extremely excited by the recent news that Control was going to be adapted into film and or TV. This could be a massive risk to that going ahead.
He had a portable tv and was watching himself as he said it in the debate.
Trumpception.
Fishy Joe’s in “The problem with Popplers” iirc.
Sounds a lot like war crimes.
Yes, austerity during a recession does generally extend and heighten the recession. John Maynard Keynes must be rolling in his grave.
