GLAAD: LGBTQ Characters in Film Drop for Third Consecutive Year

GLAAD's latest report finds that among 225 films from the 10 largest studio distributors, there were no transgender characters and no LGBTQ characters in any of the 19 animated or family films. This marks the third consecutive year of declining LGBTQ representation in mainstream cinema. The report highlights a clear rollback of diversity in Hollywood productions.

Should Hollywood be required to increase LGBTQ representation in films?

Expert: Poland's healthcare problems festered for years; current moves are damage control

Dr. Małgorzata Gałązka-Sobotka, rector of Łazarski University, commented on TVN24 following Wednesday's declarations by Poland's health minister and the head of the NFZ (National Health Fund). She argued that the problems in Poland's healthcare system have been building for years, and that current government actions amount to little more than putting out a long-smouldering fire. She called for deep systemic reforms rather than short-term fixes.

Are the Polish government's current healthcare measures sufficient to fix the system?

At the NATO summit, Donald Trump announced the end of the US-Iran ceasefire, though both countries had only signed a temporary peace deal in mid-June. Analysts warn that the American approach risks backfiring and producing the opposite of the intended outcome. Reports also suggest Mexican drug cartels are now entering the conflict on Iran's side, further complicating the situation.

EU parliament voted against chat control, but Big Tech will scan messages anyway

A majority of European Parliament members voted against the "chat control" bill, which would have enabled mass scanning of citizens' private texts, emails and social media messages to detect child abuse material. Despite the vote, tech companies will reportedly still be allowed to voluntarily scan users' messages. Critics argue the outcome still poses a serious threat to digital privacy.
