Quick Glance: Victoria departs from Elon Musk's X due to safety concerns
- A government department in Victoria has decided to part ways with the social media platform X, now owned by billionaire Elon Musk. The choice was made due to safety concerns and lack of productivity in community engagement, with expectations of more agencies following suit.
- The Department of Families, Fairness and Housing (DFFH) has announced their final post on the platform formerly known as Twitter, stating that the breakup was overdue. They will now share news and stories about the communities in Victoria they work with on alternative platforms.

Quick Glance: Elon Musk modifies his Twitter bio to "Chief Twit"
- The shift could be a clue that Musk intends to nominate himself as Twitter CEO, or to create a made-up title like "Technoking," as he has done at Tesla.
- "CNBC first reported in May that Musk was likely to name himself interim CEO after closing the $44 billion deal."
- Musk did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
- If an agreement is not made, a trial would be held in November, which experts told Insider Musk would almost certainly lose.

scroll.in/article/1033708/italy-has-elected-its-first-far-right-leader-since-wwii-what-changes-could-lie-ahead
Quick Glance: The election of fascist-adjacent Giorgia Meloni in Italy serves as a public reminder that women can be just as bad as males.

- Although Truss is Prime Minister, 75% of her Conservative Party colleagues in the UK parliament are men.
- I wouldn't vote for Meloni if I were on fire, and I'm worried about what she might do in her new role.
- Sky News UK broadcast the Giorgia Meloni story.
