Mark Carney basically explaining that the US under Trump is destabilising the world and that a new world order for trade is being created
Don't Americans understand how much damage Trump is doing to the international world order, and that it'll take years to repair and rebuild relations of trust?

Tribes have been here longer than any of us, they are quite literally the opposite of immigrants.

It is so incredibly insensitive and non-inclusive to continue celebrating a day that bring First Nations Australians so much pain. The transportation of convicts (including many children) on the first fleet was also an unbelievable abuse of human rights. Nothing to party about. Change the date ✌🏼

She is pleading with them:
“I’m disabled! I have a brain injury! Put me down!”
She was on her way to a traumatic brain injury Center when they grabbed her and threw her in detention.
She requested a doctor, was denied and lost consciousness.
Utterly inhumane.

Buttigieg: Some say you can’t talk about any of the things that were wrong about America because that must mean you hate America. To me, anytime we talk about something that wrong, it’s because some of the finest moments that brought out the greatest character of this country is how we put it right.

Quick reality check: there are less than 1.5 million under-16 teens (that is 13-15yos) in Australia. If Inman is right (and assuming most pre-teens didn't have accounts), they've had an average of three accounts blocked each. Doesn't pass the laugh test.
Australia social media ban hits 4.7 million teen accounts in first month
Global regulators are closely watching the implementation of the world-first ban for users under 16, with some U.S. states considering whether to follow suit.

Holy shit, that’s just actual theft.
In April 2024, Spotify implemented a new scheme: songs with less than 1k streams per year would no longer receive royalties.
The data for 2025 was just released via Luminate, and 88% of songs have been demonetized.
Read it again: 88% of songs on Spotify have been demonetized.
