Drowning in Data, Starving for Truth
We were promised a revolution. The internet, we were told, would democratize knowledge—bring the wisdom of the world to our fingertips and make us more intelligent, more informed, and more connected than any generation before. But something went wrong. Because despite living in the most information-rich era in human history, we're not more informed—we're more distracted, misled, and divided than ever before.

Romanian Democracy Under Siege
Romania's recent political turmoil represents a stark example of establishment resistance to democratic change.

The Bondi Stabbings: how misogyny motivated a psychotic attack. Content Warning.
The Sydney Bondi Westfield shopping mall is one I know extremely well as I live ten minutes away. I would end up in there for an hour or two each week because my physiotherapist is nearby. Since my partner and I sustained life-changing injuries in a fatal tour bus crash, I would, after physio, as my partner had her treatment, walk slowly and cautiously around the mall. I suffer PTSD from the crash; so, crowds and crowded places, loud noise, are enough to cause a panic attack. Slowly, unknowingly, this shopping mall became a safe space for me. I would shuffle around, buy Pokémon cards, Squishmallows to rest my broken back on, and the occasional coffee and cookie combination. I made friends with a few of the store workers. The injuries from the crash left me socially isolated, I can’t do what I did before, I have chronic pain: the crash was life-changing. It is odd to say, but on reflection, the shopping mall became a haven for me; a place to get a little treat after painful physio sessions. On Saturday, 13 April 2024, when I heard the news of the murders, I had a devastating panic attack.
