Australian PM says world leaders 'applauding' social media legislation – video
Speaking on his government’s bid to ban under-16s from social media, the Australian prime minister, Anthony Albanese, tells parliament world leaders in North America, Europe and New Zealand 'are all looking at what we are doing, and they are applauding what we are doing in showing leadership in this area'. Albanese says there is a 'clear causal link between the rise of social media and the harm for the mental health of young Australians'

Jay: I think social media should be basically common infrastructure that society gets to use and evolve it as society evolves, building a more democratic form of social media to reflect a democratic society.

Hatred of Palestinians for simply existing is driving us into fascism. We fund and arm a fascist Israeli govt. AIPAC and right-wing billionaires (Jewish and Christian) are making decisions about who gets elected, what we can say, and how we can say it. And AIPAC-funded Democrats are helping them.

He not only likes them because they reflect him and his misogyny and violence but he will fight for them because he doesn’t see it as spending his “political capital”. In Trumps world he now owns it all, there are no limits. Anyone who doesn’t understand stand back!

It took me twelve years (!) to build up my audience on Twitter. It took 5 days to surpass the 50% point of my Twitter following on Bluesky. I’m hopeful that the overall growth on this site will negate the need to go on Twitter altogether. Sad to see what it devolved into, but thrilled to see it die.

Sri Lanka tried RFK Jr.'s food plan, and it was catastrophic. Productivity plummeted, causing food shortages, skyrocketing prices, lost exports, and an economic collapse. Farmers faced huge losses, forcing the government to reverse the ban and import costly emergency food.
