At least women are honest about wanting to gossip. When men want to gossip they start podcasts and say they’re talking about sports. 😂
Thinking about this latter group all week - the thousands of African young people sold dreams of employment in the Gulf, often by their own government. Already some of the most precarious existences in the legal world now stuck in a war they don’t understand, in languages they don’t speak.
The second leaves in the small hours of the morning. These are mostly young people in matching uniforms who still have sleep in their eyes. The print declares the company that arranged their travel and employment. They are uncertain and confused - for most it’s their first time at an airport.
There are two blocks of flights that leave East Africa for the Gulf. One leaves in the mid morning, usually ferrying holiday makers on their way from their safaris or on their way to Dubai, people returning home using the cheaper ticket. They walk through the airport confidently.
Three days ago, Israel ordered the south evacuated. Two days ago, they did the same to the southern suburbs. That’s more than one million people. Some, the most vulnerable, are sleeping rough by the sea or on sidewalks. Today, it is raining. War harms the poor the most.

A reminder that much of this started because Netanyahu and Trump did not want to go to jail for crimes they almost certainly committed.

My conclusion is that he is UK upper class hot. Their preferred aesthetic is very particular and sometimes counter intuitive.
We don’t talk enough about how morally depraved the tech industry turned out to be. Every single ounce of their self-regarding statements of values was an outright lie.
[En direct] Guerre au Moyen-Orient: Israël annonce mener des frappes de «grande ampleur» sur Téhéran
No mention in this article by @bostonglobe.com that these planes are operated by Omni Air and have also been used for ICE deportations. I think it's worth mentioning repeatedly that the Patriots have a relationship with the company doing the detainee torture flights.

The UK's ambassador to Israel alerted London weeks in advance that an attack on Iran by US and Israeli forces was highly likely, a former diplomat at the embassy has revealed.

An elementary school in the Iranian capital Tehran’s Niloufar Square has been struck in US-Israeli attacks, according to Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei. Baghaei on Friday shared a video on X, purportedly showing Shahid Hamedani School with students before and after the attack, without elaborating on the circumstances or the number of casualties.
The US and Israel have apparently attacked another elementary school in Iran, this one in Tehran.

I’m not sure. Given the scale of population movements in Lebanon and in Iran I wouldn’t be surprised if he meant the latter. But also crazy that we live in a time where this can be an ambiguous statement.
This is also a war crime. And a crime against humanity.
At a kids’ party I met an 82-yr-old grandpa who had almost died from an injury sustained from daily lifting his 53-yr-old stepdaughter.
She’s immobile & non-verbal since a viral encephalitis at the age of 7.
Her mother died after 40 years of full-time caring.
This is an encephalitis vaccine.

I’m here for the shorter nonfiction paperback. I’ve been reading nonfiction from Fitzcarraldo editions and the NYRB imprint and most of them come in at around 40,000. Exactly the correct size for a handbag and a weekend read.
