A controversial case at the Austrian Private College of Teacher Education Burgenland has caused significant uproar: a student was given a lower grade for not using gender-neutral language in her coursework.
According to the university, its actions were based on guidelines issued by the Office for Gender and Diversity Competence, which had stated that gender-inclusive language was a basic criterion in evaluating student assignments.
Not since Jason Donovan sued the Face magazine in 1992 for calling him gay have public figures protested too much as the Macrons have just done. Both Emmanuel and Brigitte Macron have risen to the bait of right-wing influencer Candace Owens’s relentless tomcat-calling that Mme Mac was born male (and is actually her brother in disguise). It’s all wonderfully silly – and just what we need when everything seems so dismal.
Record numbers of over-60s are being referred to the Government’s troubled anti-terrorism scheme, the Daily Mail can reveal today.
Home Office figures show 127 adults in their 60s or beyond were put on Prevent’s radar in 2023/24 – the most since records began in 2016.
Of them, 43 had sparked alarm for expressing ‘extreme right wing’ views.

It takes only a few minutes of listening to right-wing politicians and podcasters to understand why their message appeals to so many young men in Canada, who increasingly feel that society has abandoned them in favour of women, racial and sexual minorities and the moneyed classes. Conservatives have sold them on the idea that they represent the true counterculture, rising up against the excesses and iniquities of the left-wing establishment that have kept them from finding a job or partner or affordable home.
Meanwhile, there is a fundamental problem with the message progressives have for young men today, especially those who are cisgender, heterosexual, or white. The left has to convince young men, many of whom feel barely in control of their own lives, that they’re members of a privileged class — and what’s more, that the privileges they enjoy are unjust and should be dismantled.
Sorry men, according to her, you’re not needed and we should have female centered communities.

Her basic political beliefs include no prisons and the even the worst offenders in prison should be treated with dignity.
She’s not a fan of police and thinks if people don’t have fat friends, it’s a red flag. pic.twitter.com/9FviftN2lG

When Taissa Pavliuc got a referral to the North York Endoscopy Centre, she went, hoping she could get the treatment she needed to return to competing in triathlons.
A surgeon at the clinic, Dr. Ashwin Maharaj, had been billed online as “a leading expert in minimally invasive hemorrhoid and anorectal surgery.”
Pavliuc did not know, when she arrived at Maharaj’s clinic last spring, that he was under regulatory supervision due to troubling conduct, which Ontario’s medical watchdog says included “essentially experimenting on patients without their consent.”
A small brush fire and power outage in British Columbia started on Wednesday not with lightning or a careless camper, but with an airborne fish, according to fire officials.
With the help from nearby ranchers and employees from the British Columbia Hydro and Power Authority, a Canadian electric utility company, firefighters were able to contain and extinguish the blaze, Ashcroft Fire Rescue said on Facebook.
Then came the investigation. It wasn’t faulty equipment, according to fire officials. It was a fish.
Former comedian Jon Stewart used his podcast (does this guy ever shut up?) to ridicule Jay Leno for suggesting Late Night comedians try to entertain their audience rather than lecture one half while alienating the other. He also thinks he understands why Greg Gutfeld is humiliating far-left Late Night hosts Stephen Coltard, Jimmy Kimmtard, and Jimmy Falltard in the ratings.
On Jul. 17, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced that his government would allow 16-year-olds to vote in the United Kingdom’s next general election.
Spurred on by the decision of the British government, Canadian activists seek the same outcome here. They wish to sell the public on the idea that our electoral system is unjust because 16-year-olds cannot vote.
Dozens of police stations amongst 45 drop-off points in Victoria to dispose soon-to-be illegal machetes amid spike in knife crime
Dozens of police stations in Victoria will become drop-off points for machete-wielding owners as the state becomes the first to implement a ban on the weapons.
Locations of the drop-off points have been revealed ahead of a three-month amnesty to dispose of the soon-to-be illegal weapons, which from September 1 will be criminalised in Victoria, resulting in jail terms or fines of up to $47,00.
I imagine every day the first person Olivia Chow speaks to is a bartender who tells her she’s cut off.
