Levels of debt in low-income and developing nations are steadily rising.

This is a result of regularly borrowing money from wealthy nations in order to keep their economies afloat, which skyrocketed throughout the pandemic and continues to increase in response to inflation.

Artists and comedians are using new technology to prevent fans from video-recording at concerts. Aside from keeping the performance exclusive to ticket-buyers, the goal is to encourage attendees to enjoy the moment without distraction – but is it a good idea?

As big companies attempt to appear more eco-conscious in the eyes of their customers, many have started to boast partnerships with rainforest conservation organisations around the world.

These partnerships must be assessed and approved by strict frameworks put in place by organisations such as Verra – a leading group for environmental standards for climate action and sustainable development, based in Washington DC.

According to Verra’s strict sustainability guidelines, only 8 out of 29 deforestation projects assessed by the team of researchers should have been approved by the DC-based carbon credit company.

At least 21 of the deforestation projects did not generate any benefit for the climate, while 7 of them grossly overestimated how many credits they can offer. These overestimates were between 52 and 98 higher that what Verra’s carbon credit system calculations would allow.

Despite more than ten years of campaigns, it remains a problem on Facebook and Instagram in particular, where strict community guidelines still prevent anyone from sharing images of female nipples unless, of course, they aren’t real. Today, the platforms are rife with inventive takes on circumventing these rules.

Some choose to get creative and obscure their nips with paint, glitter, and hair, to name a few.

Without recovering Thor’s hammer, this is probably the next best way of controlling the fierce phenomenon of lightning.

Death to the drunk Instagram story? Well, maybe. Young people are starting to swap their smartphones for simpler mobile devices on nights out. The benefits extend well beyond dealing with embarrassing social media posts from the night before.

BRIT awards under fire for selecting all-male nominees

In 2021, it was announced that the annual ceremony would be foregoing the gender split for its best artist category. This year, however, only men are in the running.

At a time when inclusivity is at the forefront of every conversation, you’d assume that companies, brands, and key industry players would think twice before publicly committing to an act of blatant discrimination.

Whether they’re initially ‘trying’ in an effort to safeguard their image or because they genuinely care is beside the point – in 2023 the mistakes that occur during this process can no longer be deemed a mere ‘slip up,’ no matter the excuse.

Alas, this is exactly what’s happened with this year’s BRIT awards. Exacerbated by the fact it made a song and a dance about working to remedy this very issue not 24 months ago.

INSPO OF THE WEEK: Martin Luther King Day

Martin Luther King Day is a federal holiday in the United States that is celebrated on the third Monday in January of each year. It is a day to honour the life and legacy of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., a prominent leader in the American civil rights movement. Dr. King was instrumental in the Civil Rights Movement, which helped to bring about significant changes in laws and policies to end racial segregation and discrimination.

For decades, body positivity has lived comfortably in mainstream media.

Acting as a remedy to idealistic, unattainable beauty standards we’ve long been pressured into accepting, it’s often praised as a force for good. For those whose appearance sits outside the range of ‘socially acceptable’, body positivity helps to readjust ideas of normal.

In 2023, however, as comparison culture persists online and new ‘aesthetics’ spearheaded by skinny white girls flood our feeds, it’s still easy to feel negatively about the way we look.

Unfortunately, our social media habits do little to alleviate this.
