silly email Outlook has a service that calls itself Copilot which will "summarize" a one-line email for you, to save you the effort of reading a one-line email from a person.

‘Besides her extensive personal experience dealing with far-right antisemitism — including being doxxed in neo-Nazi chat groups — Silverstein emphasised in her evidence that “the majority of the antisemitism [she has] experienced has come from Jewish Zionists”. “While I have a PhD in Jewish history, it has repeatedly been made clear to me that I will never be employed in a Jewish Studies department in Australia because I and my work are anti-Zionist,” Silverstein’s evidence stated. “I have also been targeted on social media by Jewish people who discuss me as being a ‘traitor to Jews’, as ‘self-hating’, and so on.” Examples of such targeting featured in Silverstein’s report include a Melbourne rabbi accusing her of “adopting a narrative of those who hate us”; a prominent Melbourne lawyer describing her on social media as “a token self-hating Jew”; a pro-Zionist Instagram account depicting her and other anti-Zionist Jews as rats and comparing them to Nazi collaborators; and abusive emails labelling her “kapo shit” and wondering why her family did not die in the Holocaust. While many of the witnesses before the Commission have routinely conflated antisemitism with support for Palestinians and opposition to Israel’s genocide in Gaza, Silverstein noted in her report that, “I have never experienced antisemitism from proponents of the [pro-Palestine] movement throughout the course of my extensive, decades-long, professional and personal involvement in the Palestine solidarity movement and in researching histories of Palestinians in Australia”.’ deepcutnews.com/p/exclusive-…

Except if you want to study the arts, humanities and social sciences, where enrolments by students from low socio-economic backgrounds have dropped by 20% since Morrison's Job-Ready Graduates was introduced. Labor owns this policy now; they must repeal it
A good education changes lives. A good education system changes countries. In the next few weeks I will introduce legislation to open the doors of our universities wider and help more Australians from poor backgrounds and from the regions get a crack at uni. If you have got what it takes you will get a place.

Academics should not read for pleasure. Do heart surgeons operate for pleasure? Do engineers build rockets? Reading is an arduous calling, not a hobby

So sad! I enjoyed all the iterations of James Valentine & stopped listening to 702 after he left. He did bring a lot of joy to the world. James Valentine, ABC talkback radio star, dies aged 64 after cancer diagnosis - ABC News abc.net.au/news/2026-04-23/7…

It is depressing and horrible that Israel reportedly killed a 9-year-old girl in a school tent in Gaza today but it barely gets a mention because people have become so acclimated to Israel/Gaza/schoolgirls/killed.

What the fuck do you mean they refused to condemn the genocidal threat to destroy an entire country with nukes? This Labor administration is the worst in history, steeped to the neck in crimes against humanity that imperil civilisation itself.

Wow. Everyone should read this 1983 article by Roald Dahl. Every word of it. It's literally the same fucking shit as now, with the same kind of impunity, only now it's even much worse. He called it. He fucking called it and they just ignored him and called him an antisemite.
There is not a single ounce of anything Roald Dahl wrote criticizing Israel that was anti-semitic or unreasonable in any way Here's the first page of what he wrote
