Feature interview: How to overcome a victim mindset
Newsflash. No one's life is perfect. But we've managed to turn everyday suffering into social currency and being a victim into a competitive sport says renowned psychologist Dr Scott Barry Kaufman. In the age of TikTok therapy, typical difficult feelings are treated like a diagnosis. Dr Kaufman says that while some adversity is real, it can be the start of the story not the end of it. His new book offers insights about taking personal responsibility and embracing the idea that our greatest challenges can result in our greatest victories. The book is called Rise Above: Overcome a Victim Mindset, Empower Yourself, and Realize Your Full Potential.

Suspect in Colorado fire attack on Jewish protest faces 118 counts
By Chet Strange , AFP A bomb disposal robot sitting on Pearl Street on the site of an attack on demonstrators calling for the release of Israeli hostages held in Gaza, in Boulder, Colorado, on 1 June, 2025. Photo: AFP/ELI IMADALI The suspect in a Molotov cocktail attack on a Jewish protest march in Colorado appeared in court facing more than 100 charges over an incident that injured 15 people. Mohamed Sabry Soliman is alleged to have thrown firebombs and sprayed burning gasoline at a group of people who had gathered Sunday in support of Israeli hostages held by Hamas. Prosecutors now say 15 people -- eight women and seven men -- were hurt in the attack in the city of Boulder. Three are still hospitalised. The oldest victim was 88 years old. Soliman, a 45-year-old Egyptian who federal authorities said was in the country illegally after overstaying a tourist visa, faces 28 attempted murder charges, as well as a bevvy of other counts relating to his alleged use of violence. He also faces a count of animal cruelty for a dog that was hurt, bringing to 118 the total number of criminal counts. Boulder County District Attorney Michael Dougherty told reporters that he could face a centuries-long prison term if convicted. "The defendant is charged with attempted murder in the first degree as to 14 different victims," he said. "If the defendant is convicted and those sentences run consecutively, that would be 48 years in state prison for each of the 14 victims, which comes to 672 years." Soliman is also expected to be charged with federal hate crime offenses. Soliman's immigration status has been at the center of President Donald Trump's administration's response to the attack. This week his wife and five children were detained by immigration agents as the White House took to social media to taunt them about an impending deportation. "Six One-Way Tickets for Mohamed's Wife and Five Kids," the official account posted on X. "Final Boarding Call Coming Soon." But on Wednesday a judge imposed a temporary restraining order that bars any attempt to remove them from the country. Police who rushed to the scene of Sunday's attack found 16 unused Molotov cocktails and a backpack weed sprayer containing gasoline that investigators say Soliman had intended to use as a makeshift flamethrower. In bystander videos, the attacker can be heard screaming "End Zionists!" and "Killers!" Sunday's incident came less than two weeks after the fatal shooting of two Israeli embassy staffers outside a Jewish museum in Washington, where a 31-year-old suspect, who shouted "Free Palestine," was arrested. - AFP

Feature interview: The issues with Pronatalism
life and society about 1 hour ago "Start procreating or start panicking." That's the core message of a once-fringe ideology now pushing its way into the mainstream called pronatalism. Elon Musk is one of the movement's loudest voices, boasting 14 kids and calling population decline humanity's biggest threat. The pronatalist movement is largely led by white conservatives and tech elites. Critics say it's not just about babies it's about power, and control. Dr. Karen Guzzo is a sociologist, fertility expert and the director of the Carolina Population Center. She argues that solving the "birth rate crisis" isn't about pushing people to have more kids, it's about building a society where they actually can.

Elon Musk denies reported drug use
The New York Times has reported Elon Musk used so much ketamine that he developed bladder problems. Photo: AFP Elon Musk has denied a report that he used ketamine and other drugs extensively last year on the 2024 campaign trail. The New York Times reported Friday (local time) that the billionaire adviser to US President Donald Trump used so much ketamine, a powerful anaesthetic, that he developed bladder problems. The newspaper said the world's richest person also took ecstasy and mushrooms and travelled with a pill box last year, adding that it was not known whether Musk also took drugs while heading the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) after Trump took power in January. In a post Saturday (local time) on X, Musk said: "To be clear, I am NOT taking drugs! The New York Times was lying their ass off." He added: "I tried 'prescription' ketamine a few years ago and said so on X, so this not even news. It helps for getting out of dark mental holes, but haven't taken it since then." Also, to be clear, I am NOT taking drugs! The New York Times was lying their ass off. I tried *prescription* ketamine a few years ago and said so on , so this not even news. It helps for getting out of dark mental holes, but haven't taken it since then. Musk first dodged a question about his drug use at a bizarre farewell appearance Friday with Trump in the Oval Office in which the Tesla and SpaceX boss sported a noticeable black eye as he formally ended his role as Trump's main cost-cutter at DOGE, which fired tens of thousands of civil servants. News of the injury drew substantial attention as it came right after the Times report on his alleged drug use. The daily recalled erratic behaviour such as Musk giving an enthusiastic Nazi-style salute last year. Musk said he got the injury while horsing around with his young son, named X, when he told the child to hit him in the face. "And he did. Turns out even a five-year-old punching you in the face actually is..." he added, before tailing off.

Musk has previously admitted to taking ketamine, saying he was prescribed it to treat a "negative frame of mind" and suggesting his use of drugs benefited his work. - AFP Sign up for Ngā Pitopito Kōrero , a daily newsletter curated by our editors and delivered straight to your inbox every weekday.
