"Just figured out where these fake tariff rates come from. They didn't actually calculate tariff rates + non-tariff barriers, as they say they did. Instead, for every country, they just took our trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country's exports to us.

This is how I’ve always made fried eggs; my mom taught me the technique back in the Mesozoic Era. Eggs cooked this way are da kine.

The #socialmediaban has passed. Here’s my take on what happens next… “The federal parliament has passed legislation to ban people under 16 from having an account with some social media platforms. In doing so, it has ignored advice from a chorus of experts” theconversation.com/australias-s...
Australia’s social media ban for kids under 16 just became law. How it will work remains a mystery
The ban won’t take effect for at least 12 months. But key details about it are still missing – including how social media platforms will actually verify users’ age.

Imagine if the way they implemented this was to mandate every parent had to change their child’s screen time settings to block insta etc, promise not to share the lock code etc. So much clearer on the level of government overreach on individual parenting decisions it’d stop it in its tracks.
The Albanese Government is committed to keeping young people safe, particularly on social media.

Selective reporting on Amsterdam attacks perpetuates anti-Palestine racism and antisemitism
Until global leaders and the media are honest about events like the Amsterdam attacks, anti-Palestine racism and antisemitism will flourish.
