June 11th, 2026: Social Media Bans, SpaceX Makes Millionaires And My Week

On June 11, 2026, Lindsey Vernick delivers the Daily Sarcast — sponsored by Trader Joe’s flowers — with a short, funny roundup of today’s top headlines. Australia’s new law banning social media for under‑16s is failing in practice: most teens are still on Instagram, Snapchat and TikTok, though some parents welcome the legal cover to limit screen time for younger kids.

The NBA is left guessing Victor Wembanyama’s true height as listings change and fans joke that he may need a ladder (or a drone) to be measured accurately. Lindsay wraps up with personal notes about unemployment bureaucracy, small-life adventures (including a rat scare), a cooking tip, and a promise to return tomorrow.
