pretty weird that our second most populous state will treat 14 year olds like they're adults, but won't let them on social media until they're 16. feels like a bit of dissonance there

Horrible forms of hate-based violence described in this article – but I can’t help but reflect on the alarming uptick of similar incidents in Australia as well.
See e.g. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-07...
