I doubt anyone else is coming back to read this other than you if you have notifications on, but Snopes, based on photographic evidence of intact teleprompters and other evidence, is willing to rule the teleprompter glass shard theory as "False".
They do note the recent statement from FBI director who said: "There's some question about whether or not it's a bullet or shrapnel that hit his ear", so I guess it's still not clear it was definitely a bullet but yeah, teleprompter glass seems to be out.

- Comment on ABC NEWS is Australia’s No 1 digital news brand; announces new look, features and functionality 3 months ago:
Hm. It's obviously a more modern design, and I guess the increased focus on categories makes it easier to read news relevant to said category. The redundancy of some sections (e.g. 2x Sport sections with basically the same content) is a bit frustrating since it feels like wasted space - as though the content was forced into the layout, rather than the layout properly supporting the content (though sometimes compromise is inevitable, so eh).
I do miss a couple of things in the old design, which I doubt will be making a comeback:
- I liked each feed (main feed on left and center, secondary feed on the right) being a single column. I think it makes it much easier to skim through rather than darting both across and down on two columns. Having (essentially) three columns also feels a bit like I'm being yelled at for attention.
- The varying "priority" of posts was something I appreciated. The new layout seems to have a 2-tier system, but the old one had something like four (?).
As a contrast, comparing this to SBS' news page (on desktop) and they have a 2x2 for the big stories at the top, but then multiple single-columns for each category, with a clear visual anchor using the heading + image combo keeping each category visually distinct. I find that much easier to quickly skim through to find news that interests me. In this new design I feel like I'm spending a lot more time just moving between things I want to look at, rather than actually looking at them. I'd guess partly this is a side effect of the probably-more-mobile-friendly design, which is a bummer for me because I read on a PC far more often than on a phone ):

- Comment on Fire crews battle large factory fire in Melbourne's west after chemical explosion 4 months ago:
More than 180 firefighters have responded to a huge factory fire in Derrimut, in Melbourne's west, where hazardous material and unknown toxins continue to burn.
Fire Rescue Victoria (FRV) said there had been a large chemical explosion at the factory on Swann Drive, resulting in one of the state's biggest fires in recent years.
Clearly a plot by big chemical to put the mind control drugs into the air!11!!
It's good nobody got hurt, given the last time I saw a chemical explosion reach the news (obviously the scale is different, but still)
