An amazing sight this afternoon…gannets dive bombing off the beach 💥

Did anyone else watch this performance and think it was just…odd? I couldn’t work it out tbh

If you have diabetes think yourself lucky you aren’t Māori or Pasifika. You are 65% less likely to need amputation. Your death rate from diabetes is 9 times lower. Four times less likely to be hospitalized. Only 14% risk of needing dialysis compared to 54% if you were Māori

‘The specialist is wrong’ Sums up the idiocy of these people. No the specialist is not wrong. This is based on *evidence*. No doubt this individual is a fan of paying less tax. This policy will cost the system MORE. More kidney failure, dialysis, amputations, blindness…

One News: we’re excited to report we have our first trillionaire whilst we advise you to eat your own grass clippings if the world comes to an end 🥴

Doggo gets a medal for leaving rack of lamb untouched while they were both in my car unattended for 15 minutes 🥇

As a Gen Xer, how many times have you started typing a reply to a post, gotten halfway through, and then realized you just don’t care enough to finish it?

I’m only going to eat biscuits today. Nothing else, just biscuits 🍪

Better than doing the modeling, ignoring it, reacting it, and deciding to spend $1 billion anyway

It amounts to approximately two (2) kilometres of Roads of National Party Significance funding In other words, you won't notice it. Unless you catch a bus or train more than three or four times a week In that case you'll be better off

Trump level bullshit

makes a lot of sense. Fuel costs are smashing families. So tackle the cost of living by getting people on to public transport and reduce fuel demand at the same time.

It's claimed renewables can't provide the 1500TWh of winter power LNG would provide in dry year they can. In a dry year, there's space in the hydrolakes (that's the problem!). In 2024, lakes had 2250TWh empty Build more solar, use less hydro, keep the lakes full for winter

Because, of course they did

Post 1/5 I'm a cardiologist. TikTok is going to get someone killed. I'm not being dramatic. I'm not being old-fashioned. I am watching patients arrive in my office repeating advice from 15-second videos — advice that is not just wrong but actively dangerous. Last month a patient told me she stopped her statin because a wellness influencer said it was "toxic." Her LDL was 210. She has a family history of early heart attack. Last week a patient in his 40s told me he wasn't worried about his cholesterol because he "eats clean and exercises." His Lp(a) — completely genetic, immune to lifestyle — was sky-high. He'd never been tested. These aren't hypothetical scenarios. These are people I care about making decisions based on content created for engagement, not evidence. Let me walk through the most dangerous myths circulating right now — and what the science actually says.

I can't recall a Budget ever having money allocated to an unspecified policy before. & for something that may not be needed? between this & the $450m for energy crisis response, parties have a warchest for cost of living/energy policies at the election nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/b…

The resurgence of Hunter Biden really puts into perspective just how unlikable the Trump children are. They’re just a bunch of insufferable pricks.

Whoever thought making people sit exams in their teenage years was a good idea was completely out of their mind 😫
