Two strikes yesterday - one in Al-Kuma by SAF killing at least 16 civilians and one on a shelter in Al Fashir by the RSF, killing at least 53 civilians. The people of N. Darfur are experiencing a special kind of hell.
At least 16 civilians were killed in a Sudanese army drone strike on Saturday in the town of Al-Kuma, east of El Fasher in North Darfur, local community leaders said. https://t.co/ZvjXKCEqXO

This is madness and I'll keep saying it because it should be impossible but for the power of proper investment in youth football. There are fewer than 15,000 males aged under 40 in this country. Stunning @FaeroskFodbold

A masterclass in clear and concise messaging. He managed to incorporate several key messages, address pain points and answer the question in a coherent and measured way. This man presents himself with confident authority - a leader. It's been a while since we've seen this.
Zack Polanski, "I hear your anger. And I think you're right to be angry. I think we should all be angry when we've had 14 years of Conservative austerity that shut our libraries, shut our community centres, and then to say integration is a problem?" "How do you expect people to

Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.
Kemi Badenoch does not deserve to have Sir Terry Pratchett as her favourite author

Cowardice.
SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the Klan's rise Sources: Leadership nixed it, concerned with U.S. political climate & Yasuke backlash https://t.co/tSXJZ1QQqR

Wish people like the former defense minister and others who sat in power for years had found their conscience and their courage before becoming “former.” The blood and ruin they left behind is beyond measure. He can keep his nostalgia tears.
Truly searing report by @NYTimesCohen on where 🇮🇱 & 🇵🇸 stand 2 years on. “Israel at war with itself” is the title. 2 Octobers ago I told BBC that Israel was diving headlong into “the terrorism trap.” It didn’t have to. Netanyahu strode right into the door Hamas opened. 1/

Here's the biggest thing I've ever written, a story spanning almost fifty years. It's about California in the 1970s, old highways, and one of those "crimes of the century" you used to hear about. I worked on it a long time and I think it's pretty good. https://t.co/OHjOjP46Wy

In 1976, a school bus carrying 26 children and their driver disappeared from a small California town. Forty-five years later, we revisit the story.
