The majority of Spain's World Cup-winning women's soccer players have refused to be called up for upcoming matches as they continue to demand "real structural changes" in Spanish soccer following the fallout from ex-soccer boss Luis Rubiales' unwanted kiss on player Jennifer Hermoso. The players have signed a joint letter condemning the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) and outlined changes they want to see within the federation. The players' decision has received support from FIFPRO and NBA champion Pau Gasol. This comes after more than 80 Spanish soccer players previously supported Hermoso and threatened not to return to the national team unless there were significant changes. Rubiales has resigned and is now facing potential charges of sexual assault and coercion.

A study conducted by researchers at USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences reveals that social media usage evolves from a conscious choice to an automatic habit, particularly among frequent users. The study found that habitual users continue to post at a consistent rate, regardless of the number of 'likes' or comments they receive. Structural changes to social media platforms may temporarily slow down habitual posting behavior, but frequent users quickly adapt. Motivational interventions are less effective on habitual users, raising questions about the efficacy of regulating harmful or misleading content online.

China's economy is facing challenges with slowing growth, a burst property bubble, and rising unemployment. While some argue that China's economic miracle is over and it will follow the path of the Soviet Union, others believe that China's integration into the global economy and its significant contribution to global growth make it unlikely to collapse in the same way. However, China's growth rate is expected to continue declining, and there are concerns about its economic long-term trends, such as increased bank deposits and decreased private investment. The Chinese government aims for slower but more sustainable growth, and its model of limited economic freedom coupled with political repression has worked so far. The future of China's economy remains uncertain, but a sudden collapse would have significant global repercussions.
