Dr Max Kaiser, Executive Officer, Jewish Council of Australia β€œThis document reads more like a blueprint for silencing dissent rather than a strategy to build inclusion. The report’s vague language around β€˜antisemitic narratives’ or β€˜affiliations’ , coupled with its emphasis on the discredited IHRA definition of antisemitism, make the actions recommended dangerously unclear. Consistent with her past statements erroneously linking antisemitic attacks with Palestine solidarity protests, Segal seems fixated on driving a pro-Israel narrative and repressing legitimate criticism of Israel’s genocide in Gaza. Antisemitism is real and must be taken seriously. But it does not exist in a vacuum. Any response that treats antisemitism as exceptional, while ignoring Islamophobia, anti-Palestinian racism, and other forms of hate, is doomed to fail.”

This by @jewishcouncilau.bsky.social's Max Kaiser is absolutely on point.

The nerve of this guy: "a luxury product from Italy" trying to paint this business as profligate and excessive?

It's a distillery, trying to make a good product for their customers.

Given 3 of the 4 minutes were wasted by Pickford standing over the ball as well it’s extraordinary the ref just let Everton… talk him into changing his mind?

Commentators are as useless as an ashtray on a motorbike too. They continue to refer to it passively as β€œthe penalty incident” without wanting to discuss the fact that it’s absolutely not

Outrage as university says AI tutors will run lectures in course Three AI programs are set to replace lecture slides in a university course this semester.

University of Auckland students articulated their thoughts on this so well:

"I started studying so I could be taught by professionals, not a robot telling me slop gathered from hundreds of places on the internet”
