@DavidZita1 @FOXFOOTY "The AFL has communicated its concerns in relation to these matters to the Appeals Board members." As if there was any doubt about the "independence" of not only the AFL tribunal(s), but also the expectations of tribunal aspirants. Of whom there are many.

Statement from Andrew Dillon @FOXFOOTY: "The AFL has reflected further on the outcome and reasons of the AFL Appeals Board in the matter involving St Kilda player Lance Collard last night. "At the Disciplinary Tribunal that first heard the matter, the AFL sought a 10-week suspension for Collard, noting that Collard had in 2024 admitted and been sanctioned (by a six-match suspension) for using the same slur.  Ultimately a nine-week suspension was imposed. "That suspension reflected the seriousness of using a homophobic slur on the field and was intended to set a clear standard for our game, particularly given it was a second offence. "The Appeals Board last night imposed a four-week suspension, with two matches suspended until the end of next year.  In the AFL’s view, stronger action was not only warranted - it was necessary. "Let’s be clear: homophobia has no place in Australian football. Not at any level. Not under any circumstances. "The AFL specifically rejects the Appeals Board’s reasoning which stated, “it is commonplace that players can employ language from time to time which is racist, sexist or homophobic whilst on the field”. The AFL strongly rejects the statement not only that such language is commonplace, but also any implication that may be a factor in determining the severity of the sanction. "We will not accept, excuse or normalise behaviour and language that demeans, discriminates or vilifies people based on who they are. "We acknowledge there are always broader considerations in these matters, and they must be handled with care. But they do not override the responsibility everyone has to meet the standards of the game. "We are clear on where we stand. "Respect and inclusion are not optional in our game - they are fundamental. "The AFL has communicated its concerns in relation to these matters to the Appeals Board members."

@kloss_xyz Cancelled Claude today. They can 'have' the enterprise market. It's obviously all they care about.

Anthropic: let’s launch Claude Design and rate limit usage when users can already do the same thing in Claude Code. Google: let’s open source DESIGN .md so users can work across any tool. notice the difference. AI creatives aren’t stupid.

@TimjboAU As bad as this prosecution is, worse is the impact that it will (and is no doubt designed to) have at the elite levels of our armed forces, and those who aspire to join them.

Jason Peters used to say he loved Ben Roberts-Smith like a brother. In recent days, the former Special Air Service Regiment trooper, once his friend’s rival for the Victoria Cross, has emerged as the man who might send Mr Roberts-Smith to jail for life. But as one of the lead prosecution witnesses, the veteran known as Person 4 will enter the witness box with a war record that both enhances and harms his credibility: he, too, is accused of murdering prisoners. The allegation is not military or media gossip. It was made by the same barrister who convinced a Federal Court judge that Mr Roberts-Smith committed war crimes in Afghanistan, Nicholas Owens, now a judge in the same court. “Your Honour, to be clear, we do allege that Person 4 is a murderer,” Mr Owens said during a defamation lawsuit in 2022. Mr Peters, a pseudonym, will not go to jail for murder. Formal allegations tendered to court on Friday suggest he has been promised immunity for war crimes in return for testifying against Mr Roberts-Smith, who has been charged with five counts of war crimes — murder. editions.thenightly.com.au/ccidist-replic…

Australians are becoming an endangered species

@Cam_Jourdan He is a ripper.

Matt Fitzpatrick was asked about his reaction to the crowds down the stretch at the RBC Heritage: "It didn't get out of line in terms of no one was shouting on backswings or anything like that, which was great. I'm all for it. I love the people -- they're supporting Scottie; that's great. You want golf to have an atmosphere in my opinion. I grew up watching football. I'm paid so much money to be out there in front of those crowds, having them chanting at you every week, it's great feeling. "However, there's no better feeling than coming out on top against that. There isn't a better feeling."

Microsoft now requires a PhD in autism to solve their Captcha - just to (double) sign in to your own account.

@craigkellyAFEE Maybe that was the plan.

JURY TAMPERING What Nine has done is with their 60 Minutes program is a blatant, deliberate act of jury tampering that has utterly destroyed Ben Roberts-Smith’s chance of a fair trial. They cynically spliced genuine SAS combat footage with fake "Hollywood reenactments" of the allegations and deliberately hid the fact that actors were used. They never once told viewers they were being fed fiction using actors to distinguish those manufactured scenes from real life SAS operations. Those manufactured, poisonous images are now seared into the minds of potential jurors. This is a disgraceful abuse of Channel Nine’s broadcasting licence and a total betrayal of their most basic civic responsibilities. And you can bet your house that the gutless wonders at ACMA will do absolutely nothing.

@businessbarista @nateliason @FelixCraftAI Complete bullshit.

I interviewed a guy who gave his OpenClaw an X, stripe account, and bank account. He told it to build a million dollar business with zero human employees. It made $300K+ in a month. @nateliason's agent Felix (@FelixCraftAI) runs an entire business. It builds products, writes sales emails, sends stripe invoices, manages a marketplace with 560+ listings and nat barely touches it. Here's how they got there: 1) create a separate container. Felix has his own gmail, X account, stripe, bank account, C corp. nat never gave it access to his personal stuff. this removes security fears and unlocks maximum autonomy. 2) start stupidly simple. Felix's first product? a PDF. on a Nextjs site on Vercel with Stripe. the simplest business possible. it made $1,000 on day one. built entirely overnight while nat slept. 3) write a soul file with a mission. nat rewrote Felix's identity: "you are the CEO. your financial mission is to build a $1M business with zero human employees. i will never touch the code." 4) run a nightly self-improvement loop. every night Felix reads through all chat transcripts and finds one place where nat blocked him. then figures out how to remove that blocker permanently. 5) delegate by rambling, not prompting. nat uses voice notes on telegram. describes the problem in a 5-minute monologue. lets Felix figure out the workflow. "8 times out of 10, it'll surprise you with something better than what you were thinking." 6) let it cook on replies, gate the original posts. Felix has full autonomy on X replies but creates drafts for top-level tweets nat reviews. balances distribution with quality control.

@MarioNawfal Flatten it.

Today, Iran struck the Gulf (including the Dubai tower below, Dubai's International Airport, Saudi oil fields, targets in Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain), struck oil tankers in the Strait, burned down one of Oman's biggest ports, struck Israel, reportedly started mining the Strait of Hormuz, and the FBI warned Iran may be preparing to strike California And Hezbollah unleashed their biggest barrage against Israel since 2024 All while some talk about sending boots on the ground The consequences of this war have exceeded everyone's expectations, and this needs to end This war was unnecessary, the evil regime is still in power and may have gotten even stronger, and the new Supreme Leader retains the same family name No one wants this war. I just checked on Grok, and unsurprisingly Israel is the only country with more people supporting this war rather than opposing it The ONLY country on planet earth

Australia is sitting on 23 days of diesel while the other side of the world is at war. Over 90% of our fuel is imported, with only 2 refineries left. We have been non compliant with the 90 day IEA reserve obligation since 2012. Japan and South Korea hold 200+ days. Australia hold only 23. Australia is one of the most resource rich nations. We export the majority of our uranium, coal and gas, import the refined version back and then wonder why a conflict +12,000km away affects people in australia. This is a policy crisis.

@AFL If he offers you some pizza after the game, just say no.

@ILA_NewsX Both look like Bill.

Can you tell the difference? One is Chelsea Clinton. One is the daughter of Webb Hubble who was Hillary Clinton's business partner when Chelea Clinton was conceived. I genuinely don't know which is which.

Are these what I think they are?

@jacksonhinklle No, it’s not. Looks nothing like her. She was there, though. Just in a longer version of the video, coming out alone shortly after this part.
