100 on track deaths....and who knows how many off track deaths, since this stat is completely hidden. And in SA the industry's assisted by a reform inspector with NO intention of reporting factually on the state of the industry and who continues to sign off on inquiry recommendations without proof!

France on Thursday announced the creation of a paid, voluntary military service for young adults, becoming the latest European country to begin beefing up its armed forces in the face of perceived threats from Russia since its full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Here's what to know.

For many around the world, the yellow school bus is a mythic figure - the stuff of movies and TV. We don’t have these buses in Australia. Seeing them can be mesmerising, they’re adorable 🤩

Is there ever going to be an interviewer who pushes back and tells him that immigrants seeking asylum is different than insane asylums?

Trump Org’s income in the first half of 2024 was $51 million. In the first half of 2025 it rose to $864 million. A massive percentage came from foreigners. It should be the biggest scandal in the history of American politics. But few even care. www.reuters.com/investigatio...

Tech giants keep touting a system they built to label AI-generated content. But it only works if everyone uses it. So I checked. They're not using it. 🎁 wapo.st/4qokjaC

The American right would be much more upset about what Trump's doing to the White House East Wing if it'd had Cracker Barrel logo painted on it.

Well done, people ❤️🙌🏻

Large crowds are gathering across the country on Saturday for a new round of “No Kings” protests against President Trump, amid tensions over a government shutdown, immigration crackdowns and military deployments to fight crime in Democratic-led cities. https://wapo.st/48w1pbA

The New York Young Republicans chapter has been suspended after racist and antisemitic chat messages shared among its members were made public, offering an unfiltered look at how some of the GOP’s up-and-coming leaders communicate in private.

Hammered? He did the hammering. Good god, the media framing 🙄

NSW getting it done for the dogs! Never before has the industry been so close in multiple states to collapsing! Bring on the bans!!

Surprise surprise

My fast-typing fingers made up another word: sloft. It means softly glowing. There you have it.

He’s a content provider for his followers. That makes him feel empowered to say whatever he likes. That’s the silo he’s created.

Mockler: I'm pretty tired of conservatives gaslighting about the current political environment and Donald Trump's rhetoric when all of this escalation can be traced back to his entrance into American politics.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...
