“She had called for help,” writes El Akkad, “She had picked up the phone and begged for help. She cried, said she’d wet herself. She was five years old.” Her decomposing body was recovered alongside the remains of six members of her family. There were 335 bullet holes in the car she was in.

This is a beautiful tribute.
kyle_maclachlan Forty-two years ago, for reasons beyond my comprehension, David Lynch plucked me out of obscurity to star in his first and last big budget movie. He clearly saw something in me that even I didn't recognize. I owe my entire career, and life really, to his vision. What I saw in him was an enigmatic and intuitive man with a creative ocean bursting forth inside of him. He was in touch with something the rest of us wish we could get to. Our friendship blossomed on Blue Velvet and then Twin Peaks and I always found him to be the most authentically alive person I'd ever met. David was in tune with the universe and his own imagination on a level that seemed to be the best version of human. He was not interested in answers because he understood that questions are the drive that make us who we are. They are our breath. While the world has lost a remarkable artist, l've lost a dear friend who imagined a future for me and allowed me to travel in worlds I could never have conceived on my own. I can see him now, standing up to greet me in his backyard, with a warm smile and big hug and that Great Plains honk of a voice. We'd talk coffee, the joy of the unexpected, the beauty of the world, and laugh. His love for me and mine for him came out of the cosmic fate of two people who saw the best things about themselves in each other. I will miss him more than the limits of my language can tell and my heart can bear. My world is that much fuller because I knew him and that much emptier now that he's gone. David, I remain forever changed, and forever your Kale. Thank you for everything.

This article says “Both by drawing an erroneous (and offensive) equivalence with Northern Ireland and Palestine”. Like stop.Here’s a quote from a high Ranking British colonial officer who helped to found the place.There’s no false equivalence.Do some research. Talk to a historian

Die Hard is a reverse horror movie, the cast of characters are slowing being picked off by a monster getting around using ventilation shafts, it's like Alien from the perspective of the Xenomorph

This gives a taste of the scale of this project, delivered on time and to budget (€750m). The government promised it would be completed and reopened in 5 years, and that has been delivered.

I’m nearly a decade seeing the tweets of bigots and fascists, daily. Never once has it broadened my horizon or changed my perspective. It’s miserable and dysfunctional

Opinion - The problem with Bluesky: It won’t broaden our horizons: In the wake of Donald Trump’s election win, the social-media platform has enjoyed a surge of new users looking for an alternative to Elon Musk’s X. But will it be useful, if it just creates an echo chamber for the left?

Publishing the watered down, heavily manipulated and yet absolutely shameful homelessness figures in advance of #GE2024 risks exposing our watery-like rhetoric, societally manipulative behaviour and shameful record in tackling homelessness.
