I wish people would learn from this. This war served NO ONE. Iran has been destroyed. The US has been humbled. Israel has been bombed and lost support in the US. The Gulf States have been damaged. The global economy has been hit. Who needed this? War is never the answer.

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

Eid Mubarak!

Particularly thinking of Muslims suffering in Iran, Lebanon and Palestine.

We must not allow the Iran war to turn communities against each other here in the States. I have worried from the start that this conflict could become a recruiting sergeant for radical groups.

There is absolutely zero justification or excuse for attacking a synagogue.

[Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer]

This is mindless hate. Muslim Americans are cops, doctors, nurses, teachers, bankers, bricklayers, mothers, fathers, neighbors, mayors, and more.

Islamophobic hate like this is fundamentally un-American and we must confront and overcome it whenever it rears its ugly head.

[Ed Davey @EdwardJDavey]

Winston Churchill helped defeat fascism in Europe. He deserves better than being replaced by a badger 🦡

[Ami Dar @AmiDar]

Many of us loathe our respective governments. And yet we would not want a foreign power to bomb our country. This should not be hard to understand.

These files confirm that Mandelson's malign influence runs through this Labour government.

Starmer knew exactly the choice he was making when he appointed him. He has to go.

[Sana Saeed @SanaSaeed]

This footage of Iranian skies this morning, blackened by US-Israeli strikes on oil depots, is one of the most haunting images of the last three years. What a world we have made. What a world we continue to choose as it descends.

[Be A King @BerniceKing]

This image of rows of freshly dug graves for schoolgirls and their teachers is heavy for humanity. Each grave represents a child who should have been safe in a classroom, a future interrupted, a family changed forever.

My father, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., warned that war robs us of both the present and the promise of tomorrow. When children become casualties of conflict, we must confront the moral failure at the heart of violence.

Nonviolence is not naive in moments like this. It is necessary. It calls us to protect innocent life, to restrain the impulse toward destruction, and to pursue justice without sacrificing our humanity.

In our shared World House, the loss of these girls is not distant. It is a wound to us all.

The attempt by extremists in Pakistan to carry out a genocide of the minority Shia population continues.

Sick stuff, to call yourself a Muslim and bomb Muslims in a mosque. https://t.co/z6uFUHd8El

@SopanDeb by definition, not every one can make it big on Substack/Beehiiv. Such platforms are winner take all

[eunice @eunifiedworld]

as creatives/ marketers, it feels like we've never been more replaceable. with every new content pipeline and social media tool dropping, why do you even need a person in the loop?

ai can recreate the outputs. music, art, design, "a story", but it can't comprehend the intention behind them. the hardships of building a company, the pivots, the team composition, the identity crises. ai can recap that at face value. it can't live it.

and that's what real storytelling actually is. not just producing content, but comprehending the human experience and unifying a company's culture around it. a story runs through every high, every low, every iteration of who you are as a brand.

this is also where marketing and storytelling diverge. marketing learns psychology hacks to trigger desire and sell a product. storytelling doesn't hack anything, it appeals to emotions and values your audience already has.

so in a world where every marketer is trying to sell an authentic story, be a storyteller who actually resonates with the one you're telling.

@AlboMP How about an award for this hero?

[Larry the Cat @Number10cat]

To the people of Australia, especially the Jewish community that was targeted in this horrific act of terrorism: we mourn your losses as we would our own

[Miqdaad Versi @miqdaad]

Awful news. Horrified to hear about this attack.

Praying for all those affected.
