As someone who grew up in the exact same micro-demographic as Zohran Mamdani -- the secular, somewhat privileged Indian intelligentsia of NYC -- it's wild to see people typecast him as some sort of Muslim identity politician. It's alien both to his campaign pitch and upbringing.

I loved Sinners so much I watched it twice, and I’m still amazed at the effort Coogler went to to include the Asian American characters Bo and Grace Chow. Thanks @AsAmNews for letting me write about it all!

Is Li Jun Li as the flawed character Grace Chow in Sinners a step forward for Asian representation or a step backwards? Let us know what you think.

This is one of the stories that the Pulitzer board recognized, about the death of Hind Rajab: "Palestinian paramedics said Israel gave them safe passage to save a 6-year-old girl in Gaza. They were all killed." https://t.co/Tl0eNlmmwc

A Washington Post examination raises questions about Israel’s assertion that its forces were ā€œnot present near the vehicle or within the firing rangeā€ of 6-year-old Hind Rajab.

So proud of @RubyMellen and the whole Washington Post team for their critical work on Gaza this year. Please read this piece, and the whole package of work, which was just a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize.

The true death toll in Gaza may be impossible to know until the war is over. These are the stories of those whose deaths have not yet been recorded.

ā€œI got death threats when men thought I put a feminist gesture in a video gameā€ In South Korea it is increasingly dangerous to be a feminist. Read how young men are attacking women they suspect are feminists and trying to get them fired. https://t.co/r2wsv7gSoD

Young male gamers in South Korea thought it resembled a gesture used to poke fun at the size of men’s penises.

I worked with @raffiberg for years. He’s a brilliant journalist and author, and a great colleague. The attempted poor hit job on him - with such ā€˜revelations’ that as Mid East online editor he ā€˜micromanaged’ the Mid East index (his actual job) - is laughable and embarrassing.

Ten years ago Hong Kong saw a political awakening. Now it's in the grip of Beijing that's erasing a decade of protests. But for many HKers the memory of a freer city defiantly lives on. My long read written w @gracehw @vickywong710 @joytiunnchen

THREAD: 1. PERSONAL NEWS: Today BBC News has announced plans to close @BBCHARDtalk after 3 decades holding the world’s politicians and powerbrokers to account. This is sad news for me personally, but much more important, I think it’s depressing news for the BBC🧵
