@T4SydneyTrains hello! Random one. Just saw someone at Martin Place station break the plastic strip and go into “Escalator Motor Room 1 2 & 3” from Platform 2. He’s probably an employee but thought I’d flag it in case not.

@AustralianJA I’m sorry, you’re suggesting that the 800+ year old principle of everyone being equal before the law, which goes back to at least the Magna Carta, and the principle of everyone having the right to legal representation be abandoned? No.

@SinaHartung You should delete this - the police have confirmed that there haven’t been reports of other attacks

Although this ensemble was a commercial failure, Claire McCardell had a vision of the capsule wardrobe that would be revived decades later by designers like Donna Karan and her 7 Easy Pieces. This is mid #1930s, a travel ensemble to work anywhere you might land @metmuseum

amtrak is great btw. their coastal starlight route allows you to see some spectacular views. they also have a writer residency that provides free, long-distance rides for writers. private cabins are comfy; the dining car is nice and you get to chat with people. tickets are cheap

An open letter from dozens of British Jews urging Starmer's government not to weaponise antisemitism to silence opposition to its complicity in genocide:

"The rise in anti-Semitism in Britain is not driven by solidarity with Palestinians, but is directly connected to the British Government’s complicity in the ongoing genocide in Palestine.

"By enabling policies of mass killing and displacement, and by repeatedly linking everyday Jewish life in the UK and the genocidal actions of Israel, the Government has created conditions of division and mistrust in which racism – including anti-Semitism – flourishes."

“When I entered Gaza the Israeli military had a rule: I was only allowed to bring in three kilos of food. As I was weighing out protein bars, trying to get under the limit, I said to my husband: ‘How sinister is this?’ I’m a humanitarian aid worker. Why would there even be a limit on food? I’ve worked in many places with extreme hunger, but what’s so jarring in this context is how cruel it is, how deliberate. I was in Gaza for two months; there’s no way to describe the horror of what’s happening. And I say this as a pediatric ICU doctor who sees children die as part of my work. Among our own staff we have doctors and nurses who are trying to treat patients while hungry, exhausted. They’re living in tents. Some of them have lost fifteen, twenty members of their families. In the hospital there are kids maimed by airstrikes: missing arms, missing legs, third degree burns. Often there’s not enough pain medication. But the children are not screaming about the pain, they’re screaming: ‘I’m hungry! I’m hungry!” I hate to only focus on the kids, because nobody should be starving. But the kids, it just haunts you in a different way. When my two months were finished, I didn’t want to leave. It’s a feeling I haven’t experienced in nearly twenty years of humanitarian assignments. But I felt ashamed. Ashamed to leave my Palestinian colleagues, who were some of the most beautiful and compassionate people that I’ve ever met. I was ashamed as an American, as a human being, that we’ve been unable to stop something that is so clearly a genocide. I remember when our bus pulled out of the buffer zone. Out the window on one side I could see Rafah, which was nothing but rubble. On the other side was lush, green Israel. When we exited the gate, the first thing I saw was a group of Israeli soldiers, sitting at a table, eating lunch. I’ve never felt so nauseous seeing a table full of food.”

Aqsa Durrani is a pediatric doctor and board member of Doctors Without Borders USA, with nearly twenty years of experience in humanitarian projects. During our interview Aqsa repeatedly expressed a desire to center the voices of her Palestinian colleagues. To this end I’ve spent the past week collecting stories from the Palestinian staff of Doctors Without Borders in Gaza. I will be sharing these stories over the next several days. I’m so grateful for the time that these people gave me; they were sleepless, hungry, traumatized, and often working 24-hour shifts. Because of the unreliable internet connection their images are sometimes grainy. Their words, however, will be crystal clear.

honestly as a society we need to start bullying people back into respecting privacy because folks are too comfortable and entitled to surveillance in all its forms.

IMO, the Trump administration should crackdown on two things: false labeling and no labeling. Labeling should also be clear on websites, so consumers know what they're buying before ordering. This will help bring manufacturing back to the US, as it puts a premium on the label

St. Andrew’s University in Scotland has a centuries-old legend about a student who is struggling to write an essay, when the actual devil appears and hands him the essay fully written, if you were wondering how people in the past would have felt about cheating with AI.
