The Three Investigators also spawned several unauthorized South-Asian-language knockoffs, including a fab-sounding Bengali series "Tin Goyenda" by Qazi Anwar Hussain, in which the lead characters were a Bangladeshi-American kid, an African-American Muslim kid, and an Irish kid

Maybe they’re bringing her in to organize the Kurdish resistance? 🙄

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.

A giant pomelo over a country estate. The image is part of a book about famous citrus fruits of Nuremberg (VD18 14760916).
What looks like an alien starship visiting a small country estate in eighteenth-century Germany is in fact, *checks notes* a giant pomelo. So nothing to see here, #skystorians
This is a chilling crime. A shame on our country. The Iranian ship was unarmed. The US knew this. The sailors were murdered by our navy, and the survivors were left to die at sea.

WORD FACT
While today it can refer to any feeling of illness or discomfort, “nausea” originally referred specifically to seasickness.
This explains its similarity to the word “nautical”: both words ultimately come from Greek “naus”, meaning “ship”.
Excellent NYT video analysis finds that the bombing of scores of schoolchildren in Iran came amid other US strikes in the vicinity:

Finished this monster. What can I say? A modernist masterpiece that belongs to the same shelf as The Magic Mountain, The Death of Virgil, and Berlin Alexanderplatz. A decadent baroque symphony of a novel. Unjustly neglected. Its reputation will continue to grow.
Reuters Exclusive
"U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls' school."
"The strike would rank among the worst cases of civilian casualties in decades of U.S. conflicts in the Middle East."
Once again reminding everyone that the majority of people stranded in the UAE are not influencers or expats or tourists, but South Asian (and SE Asian and African) workers whose passports are often controlled by their employers and whose govts have made no attempts to repatriate.

WAR CRIME BY THE US.
An unarmed Iranian ship was takIng part in an Indian naval exercise, alongside the US.
The US withdrew and torpedoed the Iranian ship.
THEN the US refused to rescue the sailors, letting them drown.
This is treachery, cowardice, cruelty and a war crime of the highest order.
