"New Zealand's swing right on Maori issues reveals new fault lines"

From Jacinda Ardern to this - my old country appears to be catching up with the political decay of the northern hemisphere.

"If a man with erectile dysfunction experiences stress and anxiety due to performance worries, CBT could help with that, but it wouldn’t open up the blood vessels – the underlying issue – like Viagra would. It’s similar with HRT. The CBT can minimise the stress response but the underlying cause – the drop in oestrogen – is only addressed with HRT."

An excellent description of the menopause from a female GP, even though it features a male-centred analogy to make the core point.

Two economists are walking in a forest when they come across a pile of shit.

The first economist says to the other “I’ll pay you $100 to eat that pile of shit.” The second economist takes the $100 and eats the pile of shit.

They continue walking until they come across a second pile of shit. The second economist turns to the first and says “I’ll pay you $100 to eat that pile of shit.” The first economist takes the $100 and eats a pile of shit.

Walking a little more, the first economist looks at the second and says, "You know, I gave you $100 to eat shit, then you gave me back the same $100 to eat shit. I can't help but feel like we both just ate shit for nothing."

"That's not true", responded the second economist. "We increased the GDP by $200!"

“One of the arguments given by defenders of Israel’s actions is that, tragic though these deaths are, the harm inflicted on civilians is proportionate because it is outweighed by the importance of destroying Hamas.” How does international law weigh the lives of innocents against military objectives?

A military ethics scholar explains moral equality, which requires that people on both sides of war be treated with the same degree of respect

"Wes Streeting says NHS uses winter crisis as excuse to ask for more money"

Does Wes Streeting have the emotional intelligence to be in charge of a necessarily people-centred health and social care system? I have my doubts.
