Lenacapavir did so well at preventing HIV infection that it hit the threshold where the only ethical thing to do was stop the randomized trial and immediately offer it to literally every participant. That's huge news. www.npr.org/sections/goa...

Very cool tool here to help you express yourself on the proposed blanket speed limit increases. (Yep, there are mixed opinions on the use of LLMs for consultations. But the Ministry of Transport says: “We may use an AI tool to help us analyse submissions” – so all’s fair in love and Robot Wars? 🤖✊)

It's BAD at Health NZ. Essential roles aren't being filled because they're "Not frontline" even though thousands of staff rely on them to work. The government is destroying our healthcare system. We are not talking about it enough, Aotearoa.

Inspiring to see aid support still reaching Gaza from NZ. FIANZ met targets for providing mattresses, blankets, and milk, now delivering a round of food parcels and closing in on that goal too. Efforts ongoing. Every donation goes directly to Gaza. Together, we’re making a big difference.

It's interesting that a large portion of the countries budget woes, could be solved by just...not doing the whole tax cut thing.
I sure as hell won't notice $25 a week in my pay, and I'm happy to do without for things like...nurses, a reliable interisland ferry etc

Oh my god, this is fucking huge. It was huge when we developed a daily PrEP pill that could prevent you from catching HIV; this is a successful phase III trial of a PrEP shot that will only need to be given *twice a year*. Still needs a confirmatory Phase III, but holy fuck.
