World Radio Day 2026 | All you need to know about this day: date, history

My sis just sent me this - a pyrocumulus eruption above a fire about 50km away.
Thirty-four school contemporaries of Nigel Farage have now come forward to claim they saw him behave in a racist or antisemitic manner, raising fresh questions over the Reform leader’s evolving denials.

Very disappointing: The racial profiling. The lack of due process. The lack of professionality. The lack of dignity and respect for the ‘suspected’.

What on earth is taught at Police Academies in Australia?

Don't call immigrants "illegal aliens."
Chicago mayor, Brandon Johnson, did a great job responding when asked about "illegal aliens" in his city:

“We don’t have illegal aliens. The legal term for my people were slaves. You want me to use that term, too? So, look, let’s just get the language right. We are talking about undocumented individuals that are human beings. The last thing I’m going to do is accept that type of racist, nasty language to describe human beings.”

Why Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson fumed at ‘illegal aliens’ question

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson issued a scathing rebuke of the phrase "illegal aliens" in a press conference and called it "racist, nasty language."

Just got spammed on YT as I am in Sydney, Australia (I now live in a rural area nearby) by rail ninja. They were offering a Sydney to "Newcastle" fare of $53 or $63. This is in fact a fare to Broadmeadow. Then you need to pay for a train and tram or bus to the city / beach, several dollars. The fare by commuter train is under $10, arriving at Newcastle Interchange where a tram awaits, for no extra fee on top of the under $10 outbound fare cap. The Stockton Ferry is then also free. If you want to get the XPT (InterCity 125 clone) the direct purchase fare $28 (or $38 for first class, a bit pointless). #sydney #tourism #scam #fraud #australia #travel Pls share.
