Topic: Children and Family

The law comes amid a global push for tougher age restrictions on social media platforms. The government of Turkey on Saturday formally banned access to social media platform for children under the age of 15. The law was published today following the Turkish Parliament's adoption of the bill last April. The ban will come into force on Nov. 1. Social media platforms will have to "take the necessary technical and administrative measures, including age verification," to implement the new rules, the law states. The age verification system would work with a government-issued "token", according to the law's Article 7.

Proposed class action seeks damages, notification program for others found in alleged seized photos Jeffrey Epstein's estate is facing a new lawsuit that targets what accusers call one of his least-addressed crimes: his alleged trove of child sexual abuse images. Filed in federal court in Manhattan, the proposed class action comes from two women identified as "Jane Doe" and "Amy," who say their photos were found among Epstein's seized materials but that they—and "countless" others—were never notified, per NBC News. The suit seeks a court-supervised process to locate and inform every person whose "unlawful sexualized images" were allegedly in Epstein's possession, including a "modeling book" kept in a safe.

Female athletes accuse Sydney Sweeney ad of sexualizing women in sports
Topic: Political Correctness

[Ed: oh, for the love of God! These high-profile women have nothing better to lecture us on?] An advertising campaign featuring American actor Sydney Sweeney has sparked widespread backlash from female athletes who say it is sexualizing women in sports. In the ad for the sports prediction market platform Novig, Sweeney appears with little or no clothing, covering parts of her body with strategically placed footballs and other sports apparel. Many female athletes criticized the ad on social media and called it disrespectful to women. “I can’t describe how infuriated I feel when I watch this,” four-time Olympic swimming gold medalist Ariarne Titmus wrote on Instagram. “How do we live in a world where monetizing a woman’s body and sexualizing women’s sport is still a thing?”

House Panel Recommends Contempt Charge for Leon Black
Topic: Violence Against Women

Billionaire defied subpoena in Epstein probe. The House Oversight Committee voted Tuesday to recommend that billionaire Leon Black be held in contempt of Congress for failing to comply with a subpoena for testimony in the investigation of Jeffrey Epstein, the AP reports. Republicans and Democrats joined unanimously in the bipartisan vote after Black refused to appear this month for a sworn deposition and produce requested nondisclosure agreements. Black sued the panel, asking a federal court to block the subpoenas. Black is the former chief executive of a private equity firm that lawmakers say funneled millions to Epstein. Republican Rep. James Comer, the chairman of the Oversight Committee, said Black is "hiding behind litigation to delay having to provide answers to the American people."

ESPN's College GameDay is not meant to be watched intently and without distraction. It's what you throw on as you fold into your couch cushions on a cold Saturday morning to look at your phone for two hours, or as you stand over a stove making overcooked scrambled eggs to nurse your hangover. You perk up and watch when some pimply kid from Iowa tries to make a field goal and win a jillion dollars of Pat McAfee's loudly earned money, or when the celebrity picker shares a prophecy for the day's MACtion.

Asia’s lonely economy of one
Topic: Children and Family
Source: Asia Times
Singles in China spent $1 trillion in 2025, up 50% in two years, but neither the ‘loneliness economy’ bulls nor bears really understand the shift. For most of modern history, the household was a bundle. Under one roof, families pooled rent and meals, raised children, cared for parents, kept each other company and insured one another against bad luck. Nobody itemized it, and national accounts barely noticed. Across East Asia, that arrangement is coming apart, and one line item after another has turned into something you pay for. The loneliness economy is the usual name for the result; the unbundling of the family household is the more accurate one.

...at a Public Meeting for Saying School Employees' Job Titles. "You can't talk about the superintendent," a Foley Public School Board official told Blake and Katy DeMarais when they tried to advocate for their disabled and nonverbal son. During the public comment period at Foley Public School Board meetings, concerned citizens are forbidden from saying not only the names of school staff and officials but even their titles. These revelations come from Blake and Katy DeMarais, concerned parents of a disabled and nonverbal special education student in the district. Over the summer, the parents complained that the district was failing to provide educational services to their son, only to be censored in a public meeting.

Education, Vouchers, and School Choice
Topic: Children and Family

Although every service imaginable is or has been provided by the free market, governments at every level are united in their belief that there is one service that government at some level should provide, fund, regulate, control, and/or mandate that every child should receive: education. And it is not just government. Most Americans believe likewise, and have for over a hundred years. Even most of those who pay tuition to send their children to a private school undoubtedly still believe that government should have public schools and exercise some degree of control over education even if it takes place at a private school. Many federal government officials have sent their children to Sidwell Friends School — an elite private Quaker school in Washington, D.C. — including Presidents Clinton and Obama. Yet, none of those government officials who enrolled their children there ever called for the elimination of public schools.

The Education Cartel and the Blue State School Scam
Topic: Children and Family
Source: Jonathan Turley
“In the first place, God made idiots,” Mark Twain once wrote in an 1879 travel book. “That was for practice. Then he made school boards.” It appears that most Americans now agree with him. New polling shows that K-12 education has now reached a record low in the number of people who are even “somewhat satisfied” with the state of education in the U.S. What is most troubling is that the near-total contempt for our school system does not make a bit of difference. Families and students have become largely irrelevant to an education cartel, a self-sustaining, self-perpetuating political alliance of unions and politicians.

She turned the quintessential hero's journey into a feminist manifesto promoting moral relativism, and now the franchise is dead... You can learn a lot about the political left and their true principles by simply studying their pop culture products. Hollywood used to be a lot more savvy about hiding their intentions and their propaganda in tent pole films because they understood that they still had to make money. Alienating the majority of their audience in favor of pushing a manifesto was not an option back then. However, in the past decade, something changed. Progressives in Tinsel Town became emboldened to the point that the Box Office no longer mattered. They decided they were going to pressure Americans to accept woke ideology - They were going to force-feed their Marxist vision to the masses until the public gave up on expecting anything different.

Britain's Speech Police: How The State Learned To Fear Its People

With 62,000 people arrested for speech crimes in five years, the UK can no longer claim to be a free society, says Paul Birch. Many of us in Britain still flatter ourselves that we live in a free country. Although the UK isn't quite a police state (not yet anyway), neither is it a country in which the individual can any longer speak without glancing over his or her shoulder. The old compact of a liberal society was simple - the state punished genuine criminality, while opinion was left to the rough justice of argument, satire and public disagreement.

...because Labour can't control our borders, writes Joy Morrissey MP. They are deeply worried about 1,256 adult male illegal immigrants being housed literally over the back fence of their village. There are only 350 residents of Piddington, and I know these wonderful women don’t want to be punished because of this government’s failure to secure our borders. The residents of Piddington are quite rightly worried about a potential increase in sexual crime if this proposal goes ahead. They are worried about their children’s safety. And, quite frankly, they don’t want their quiet village ruined. I agree with them, I stand with the residents of Piddington.
