money pit just as planned. taking out the trash would mean admitting they were never hoping Ukraine would win, only that they would sell them lots of weapons, killing off as many Ukrainians who like Russia, and maybe a few Russians too. Gotta free up space for zionist occupiers.
Former tennis star’s lawyer alleges Herald Sun articles are defamatory and constitute a serious invasion of Brittany Groth’s privacy under new tort laws
Victorian Liberal party deputy leader and former Australian tennis star, Sam Groth, has threatened legal action over News Corp stories which claimed Liberal colleagues of Groth’s were querying how he began his relationship with his wife, Brittany, with his lawyers claiming the articles are worse than “gutter journalism”.
The legal letter from law firm Giles George alleges two articles in the Herald Sun and social media posts published this week constitute a serious invasion of Brittany Groth’s privacy under new tort laws, which came into force last month.
Starbucks will phase out mobile order-only stores, converting some to full-service locations.

Starbucks is phasing out mobile order-only stores, converting some to full-service locations.
The shift comes as Starbucks faces declining same-store sales for six consecutive quarters.
Starbucks has a new store prototype and a $500 million investment plan to improve operations.
Starbucks’ grab-and-go stores are on the way out.
On Tuesday, the coffee store chain announced that it’s discontinuing its mobile order-only store model.
Around 80 to 90 pickup-only locations in the US, many of which are located in office buildings and offer no seating, will be phased out, said CEO Brian Niccol. Some will be converted into full-service stores with room to linger.
“These stores felt too transactional and didn’t deliver the warmth or human connection our customers expect,” Niccoltold investors on the third-quarter earnings call.
A Starbucks spokeswoman declined to comment, including on how much the store renovations would cost.
The company has also been working with CloudKitchens, the ghost kitchen company run by Uber cofounder Travis Kalanick, to broaden Starbucks’ network in locations like San Francisco, Business Insider reported in 2023. These ghost kitchens, with private kitchens and no corporate storefronts, get Starbucks orders out on platforms like DoorDash to lessen the burden on brick-and-mortar stores.
Starbucks announced on Tuesday that it is developing a new “coffeehouse of the future” prototype that includes 32 seats and a drive-thru, which it plans todebut in the company’s next fiscal year. Starbucks is investing $500 million over the next year to bolster staffing and improve in-store wait times.
These changes come as Starbucks tries to boost sales — same-store sales dropped for a sixth quarter in a row. Niccol, who took over as CEO last year, has issued memos telling employees to spend more time in the office as part of his effort to “turn things around.”
On Tuesday’s call, Niccol said unpredictable coffee prices and ongoing pressure from tariffs may mean challenging financials until 2026. He said that “momentum is building” and that the company is “ahead of schedule.”
Throughout the day, Starbucks shares dipped on Q3 earnings that came in below analyst expectations, but rose around 3% in after-hours trading. Shares are flat this year.
