It's #ShakespeareDay
&
#EarthDay
So, here is a clip of nature I took from the outskirts of Baljurashi, Al Baha Region, in the mountainous southwest Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦 (aka my hometown) AND my rendition of Shakespeare's Sonnet 29.

My first reaction is shock. Cause of death is a mystery so far. But, I do remember reading her graphic novel Persepolis and then watched the film adaptation (2007). It's interesting how her death was announced by the Élysée Palace.

[cinesthetic. @TheCinesthetic]

Iranian-French filmmaker and graphic novelist Marjane Satrapi has sadly passed away at the age of 56.

Satrapi was best known for Persepolis and its acclaimed animated film adaptation, works that brought her international recognition and made her one of the most influential voices in contemporary graphic storytelling.

Her legacy spans literature, film, and advocacy for freedom, women’s rights, and human rights.

Rest in peace. 🖤

How many times will you drone our ears with this? I'm praying for a primary to get you out of office. South Carolina deserves someone who looks at its needs instead of being obsessed with a with a foreign country and live out your life in Tel Aviv.

If in fact as a result of these negotiations to end the Iranian conflict, our Arab and Muslim allies in the region agreed to join the Abraham Accords, it would make this agreement one of the most consequential in the history of the Middle East.

Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Pakistan joining the Abraham Accords would be beyond transformative for the region and world. It is a brilliant move by President Trump.

To Saudi Arabia and others: Now is the time to be bold for the future of a new Middle East. I expect, as President Trump has suggested, you will in fact join the Abraham Accords effectively ending the Arab-Israeli conflict. If you refuse to go down this path as suggested by President Trump, it will have severe repercussions for our future relationships and make this peace proposal unacceptable. Further, it would be seen by history as a major miscalculation.

President Trump: Stick to your guns in getting a good deal with Iran. Equally important, stick to your guns in insisting Saudi Arabia and others join the Abraham Accords as part of these negotiations.

Again, this is a brilliant proposal by President Trump.

@cribar I do remember our visit to the Emirates and watching Arsenal vs. Bolton in January 2010. Good times, and glad it finally happened in your lifetime 😁

@punicist What's the name of this clip, or who posted it on Instagram?

[Dave @GamewithDave]

They removed CD/DVD drives from devices.
They made physical media harder to buy and use.
They removed expandable storage from phones.
They pushed us into streaming subscriptions.
They made always-online normal.
They made unlimited internet necessary.
Then slowly raised the price of everything.

Ownership quietly became renting.

A talk about European Orientalist paintings of the Arab World as @albazei delves into the paintings by Delacroix, Gérôme, Ludwig Deutsch, and Bauernfeind.

في أمسيةٍ حفلت بالفكر والجمال،
استعرض الدكتور في #اثنينية_البازعي كيف صوّرت اللوحات الأوروبية العالم الإسلامي،
وما بين الدهشة البصرية والقراءة الاستشراقية، تعددت زوايا الحوار والمداخلات النوعية التي أثرت اللقاء.

شكراً لكل من حضر وشارك هذا المساء الثقافي.

@AndrewMLeber @lisang @newlinesmag "The UAE abhors chaos"
"poorly functioning states"
(Looks at 🇸🇩, 🇸🇴, 🇾🇪)

"We have nothing in common with the rest of the Middle East".. Talk about self delusional. But if they think like the Eurovision participants, Israel, then maybe that's what they espouse to be.

هذه التغريدة أوجعت قلبي وجاء منها حنين للصحف الورقية. كنا أنا وأخواني ندخل معركة من أجلها لما الوالد يحضرها معه للبيت. وأذكر كنا في قريتنا في الباحة لما قرأنا خبر موت الأميرة ديانا عن طريق أحد الصحف في اليوم التالي. كنا نفرد الصحيفة على الأرض ونقرأ ونشوف الصور. راحت ذيك الأيام.

أهل #السعودية : تعرفون كلشي متوفر عدكم ، وكلشي نطلبه موجود ،، إلا شغلة وحدة :

الله يخليكم ، وين يبيعون الصحف السعودية الورقية ؟ لا تضحكون عليّ وتگولون إحنا بعصر السوشل ميديا.

أنا مُدمن قراءة الصحف ، وأي بلد أزوره لازم أشم "ريحة الورقة" في صحافته.

دخلت محلات ، مكتبات ، مولات ، اسواق وما لقيت !!

اخوي بتال القوس اريد نسخ من جريدة الرياضية تكفى ، وأي صحف أخرى تدلوني وين ألگاها ومنين اشتريها ؟

@viviannereim The recent meeting in Jeddah revealed: Some are willing to engage and find solutions, 1 didn't send a representative or give a statement, and the other just announced it is taking a very different course. I hardly think any cohesion will return, let alone a confederate one.

@LaiciteStan Who is she?

[Mohammed H. Alghamdi @CountMohammed]

@nrrkf يا ليتها بالإنجليزية، قليل، لكن هم يكتبوها بلغتهم في النهاية.

[Mohammed H. Alghamdi @CountMohammed]

@nrrkf أغلب المخطوطات باللغة الألمانية، قد يكون هذا سبب العزوف عنها؟
