From 1 December, female workers with impairing conditions linked to the menopause can access specific medical leave. Spain thus expands labour protection for women, while other European countries still do not provide a similar measure. From 1 December, women who live and work in Spain will have a new labour right. Those who suffer from incapacitating health problems linked to the menopause will be able to request a specific medical leave and receive a benefit from the second day, without needing to have paid social security contributions for a minimum period.

Cornell Rape Case Plays Out in Vicious Fashion Online

New Yorker looks at how online vigilantes are doxxing everyone involved, including Jane Doe. A 911 call sent armed police to a quiet home on Oct. 6, but the reported shootings were fiction. The target, writes Ruby Cramer at the New Yorker, was a young woman known publicly only as "Jane Doe." She's the Cornell grad who has filed a civil suit alleging she was sexually assaulted by seven members of the Chi Phi fraternity in 2024—and who is now at the center of a different kind of crisis: mass doxxing, swatting, and online vigilantism, with her address and phone number in circulation and threats pouring in. Her attorney has even used a private investigator from his law firm to guard his house at night.

"Operation Ghostbusters" Exposes Kenyan Student Loan Scam

There's ghost students in the halls of American colleges, and they're sending your money to Kenya... The US Department of Justice has announced the first arrests in an ongoing investigation launched in April called "Operation Ghostbusters", and the results are not surprising. Assistant Attorney General Colin M. McDonald held a press conference this week detailing the discovery of a fraud pipeline exploiting US college loan programs. The underlying fraud relies on "ghost-student" schemes using stolen identities for FAFSA/aid, and has been ongoing since at least 2021. The investigation that grew into Operation Ghostbusters was opened by the FBI’s Richmond Field Office after a referral from the Department of Education’s Office of Inspector General. According to the Justice Department, criminal actors allegedly stole or used personal information of U.S. citizens (often people who had never attended college) to create fraudulent FAFSA accounts.

UK Social Media Ban May Lock Out 100,000+ Teens Without ID
Topic: Children and Family
Source: The Guardian
Under the UK's planned social media ban, more than 100,000 British teenagers aged 16 and 17 could initially be locked out of social media because they lack a passport or driving license that may be needed as a fallback for age verification. The Guardian reports: Ofcom, the UK's online watchdog, said about 150,000 16- to 17-year-olds do not own a passport or driving licence, which are likely to be needed to access age-restricted platforms. The Australia-style ban on under-16s accessing social media services, including Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, is due to come into force next spring. The head of Ofcom, Melanie Dawes, said "motivated children" would seek to bypass the restrictions, as has happened in Australia.

The lawsuit was brought by an 18-year-old woman from Mississippi known as K.D.B who, according to Reuters, has "described staying awake for hours scrolling social media, losing focus in class and engaging in self-harm using methods shown in social media videos."

"We remain committed to improving safety for kids on social media apps and holding tech companies accountable, and we are pleased to have brought this matter to a just resolution on behalf of our client," attorney Emily Jeffcott said in a statement.

It’s a fake issue. It’s made up. It’s …”manufactured.” During the 60 Minutes interview that aired last night, Abdul El-Sayed derisively dismissed parent’s concerns about boys in girls sports. You see, he’s not about to do any governing about whether boys should be allowed to play on girls teams. It’s not his jam evidently. Especially given he claims all the outrage over this has been manufactured.

Panic over boys being radicalized by the right is warping the UK's counter-terror response...What is going on with Britain's children? Last year, more than 6,000 under-18s were referred to Prevent, the UK government's counter-terrorism scheme, with a record number reported for being obsessed with mass violence and extremism. Believe the headlines, and we are raising a generation of committed terrorists and murderous nihilists. But scratch beneath the surface, and a far more complex picture of adult failure begins to emerge.

Cognizant of sexual identity politics, the class promises students they will learn not just from “white women writers” but also “women writers of color as well as of differing classes and sexualities.” The course, titled “Race/Gender/Paranormal/Romance” examines how these writers confronted “the remains of white middle-class conventions of the romance,” according to the fall 2026 course description.

Legitimate Care or a Tax-Fed Racket?

Mental Health Care for Adolescent Girls. The federal government has poured billions of dollars into the mental health industry, and the result seems to be even more diagnosed mental illnesses with no relief in sight. The mental health of American young people has been in trouble for decades. Yet, in recent Centers for Disease Control (CDC) survey data, there have been some late improvements. Between 2023 and 2025, several key indicators improved as fewer high school students reported mental health crises and a reduction in suicide attempts. However, important discrepancies between boys and girls remain. While 16 percent of male high schoolers reported poor mental health in 2025, the figure was 31 percent among high school girls. Researchers recognize that there is a distinct nature to diagnosing diseases of the mind in young men and women. Despite genuine efforts among practitioners and parents to see their children take hold of sound minds, the economic incentives that drive decisions in the psychiatry industry, state-sponsored education, and the online world may lead therapists and even the patients themselves to overdiagnose mental illness. As it turns out, these problems are concentrated among young females.

The Devils Was Censored 55 Years Ago.
Topic: Political Correctness
Source: Reason
Now It's Back, and Its Political Warning Still Holds. I did not initially want to see the re-release of Ken Russell's 1971 film, The Devils. As the critic Armond White pointed out, Warner Bros. somewhat deceptively marketed the film as a subversive horror movie, "promising steady, anti-Christian jolts and atrocities." Based on the film's trailer alone, one might believe that The Devils is truly about demonic forces possessing a convent of nuns. If this were the case, I would have had little interest in paying for a ticket and would have opted to avoid any nightmares. But the marketing successfully brought in moviegoers seeking October thrills, filling enough seats to extend the film's run indefinitely. After reading more about the film's premise, I saw the newly restored, uncensored NC-17 film on Wednesday night, and found White's assessment to be largely correct. The movie is, above all, a tale of politically motivated persecution, and it serves as a warning against succumbing to mob hysteria.

Texas Judge Ordered to Undergo Psychiatric Testing After Bar Complaint. Judge Ada Brown of the Northern District of Texas has been suspended pending psychiatric testing and the resolution of a bar complaint after a bizarre hearing in April 2026. In the hearing, Brown, a Trump appointee, went on a racial diatribe against a lawyer, Ezra Young, over his race. Young was accused of being White. When Young informed her that he is Hispanic, Judge Brown went on to say that he is “white-presenting” in continuing her racial browbeating.
