A “playful rivalry” has kicked off in the heart of an Australian city with the opening of a huge American burger chain. Wendy’s, which opened its first Australian store in Surfer’s Paradise in January, has opened a new venue in Brisbane. The new flagship, the business’ second restaurant in its 200 store in 10 years in Australia plan, is described as “global first” by the US chain. And despite only opening its doors on Wednesday, it is already drawing in the crowds. Is it worth it? One mother and her two sons, who happened to be on holiday, were waiting outside the…

Prince Harry fully supports Meghan Markle’s latest move to professionally distance herself from him. “He always thinks she’s making the right moves,” an insider told Us Weekly in an article published Wednesday, with a second insider saying Harry is happy Markle found “something she can sink her teeth into.” “It’s what she successfully did before him, and he believes in the saying, ‘Happy wife, happy life.’ He’s happy not to be involved in that world,” the second source said, referring to Markle leaning into Hollywood life. Meghan Markle is building her personal brand by distancing herself from Prince Harry. AFP…

Once upon a time, there was a brand new academic discipline called women’s studies. I was the founding director of a women’s studies program at North Carolina State University in 1989. Soon thereafter, feminist scholars recognized that while the study of women was important, it was also necessary to examine the power dynamics between women and men. Consequently, most women’s studies departments evolved into women and gender studies departments. We couldn’t lose the word woman because women were still invisible in so many areas of study. Still, I had hoped that within a few decades, that would be remedied, and…

Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that his country’s military successfully tested a massive nuclear-torpedo dubbed the Poseidon capable of leveling coastal cities with 1,600-foot high radioactive tsunamis. The despot, while enjoying tea with wounded Russian soldiers at a hospital in Moscow Wednesday, said the underwater bomb was launched from a submarine the day before and was a “huge success.” “For the first time, we managed not only to launch it with a launch engine from a carrier submarine, but also to launch the nuclear power unit on which this device passed a certain amount of time,” Putin said. Putin announced…

Zohran Mamdani’s scholar father was among the founders of the Gaza Tribunal, a group one critic likened to “a cesspool of London-based Hamas terrorists.” The group is calling for “Israeli perpetrators and Western enablers” to face consequences over their actions in the Gaza Strip, The Post has learned. The group’s website says it seeks to collect evidence against Israel regarding the war in Gaza sparked by the October 7, 2023 Hamas attacks which left 1,200 Israelis dead and over 200 captured as hostages. Mahmood Mamdani, 79, attended the inaugural “preparatory” meetings of the “symbolic court of conscience” in London last…

October brings all that is beautiful about autumn, with its glorious colors and cooler temperatures, but it also carries with it a darker underside, as it’s known as Domestic Violence Awareness Month. As the month winds down, I have been thinking about the lifetime of work I’ve done in the domestic violence field as a writer, educator, and counselor. In this post, I want to turn our attention to something that is part and parcel of violence against women and yet not always examined and understood. Here, I’ll focus on objectification as a key tactic and strategy used to perpetuate…

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Wednesday a trade deal had been struck with South Korea, in remarks that sent the won up against the dollar, as a compact promises to dispel uncertainty for the trade-reliant economy. “We did, we did. We did reach a deal,” Trump said in response to a query on whether a deal was struck, ahead of a dinner hosted by South Korean President Lee Jae Myung. “We made our deal, pretty much finalized it,” he added later, without giving details. President Trump said a trade deal had been struck with South Korea, in remarks that…

A young German activist dubbed the “anti-Greta” is seeking asylum in the United States after being hit with a wave of Antifa death threats over her political views and free speech championing. Naomi Seibt, 25, recently filed the petition for political asylum — in a move she says was supported by Elon Musk — amid fears she will be killed or be thrown in prison if she returns to her native country. Seibt, who became a darling of the right when she was just a teen due to her outspoken views on immigration and climate change, told Fox News she…
