The calls from America this weekend to "abolish the EU" are for one simple reason: the EU is the only thing that can keep European nation-states from becoming Russian or American vassals.
The US has declared rhetorical war on the EU
The calls from America this weekend to destroy the EU are revealing. They hate the union because it's the only thing that can keep European countries from being Russian or American vassals.

What the social media ban assumes about our society is that the places where adults congregate to share ideas are never safe for children. And it’s wrong

Still think that if Albanese really wanted to reduce harm to under 16 yr olds, restricting exposure to sports gambling was a lower hanging fruit than social media, and much more simpler to enforce. But here we are. Trad media wanted to hit back against tech, instead of their own revenue source

Amazon workers in Quebec unionized, so Amazon closed all their fulfillment centres in the province.
7 centres shut down. Almost 2,000 people out of work.
This is a massive violation of labour rights.
It’s also an excellent reason to boycott Amazon.

A gay man from a country town once showed me the newspaper column of mine he'd kept in his wallet since (pre-socials) school; it said he was not alone & would find his people. Social media can be a lifeline for kids who're bullied, live in abusive home, or whose hobbies/interests are anti-anxiety.

Now they’re proposing a 4 day work week and 6 hour work days

Meanwhile in the US, people work two jobs and can’t afford food or healthcare.
