@Anirudh1969@cnnbrk Two children, ages 12 and 15 were killed, as well as the bus driver (49) and the children's supervisor (27). It was a small bus that picked up children with special needs to go to their school. The crash was so violent, the bus was catapulted onto the driveway of a house.

CRUISE SHIP CHEF: “Yeah, that’s crazy, it must’ve mutated or something.”
@profhistorygeek I am at chapiter 15, and we still learn that Turba anglice loquitur and Deus appropinquat. I love qlatin. But I am so disappointed in the time it takes Duolingo to grant continuition! Next sections seem so interesting and yet I have been stuck at 15 for the past 8 months!
I’m so sick and tired of these bullshit history accounts: stone masons had to join guilds, endure years of trainings and had to make a name before anyone would even consider employing them.
🇺🇦 Belgium fully supports President Zelenskyy's announcement of an open-ended ceasefire starting tonight. Ukraine is choosing peace, not for two days, not for a parade, but as a genuine offer to stop the killing.
The contrast speaks for itself. Russia's proposed ceasefire for May 8-9 is limited to two days to mark its own military celebrations, accompanied by threats of a massive missile strike on Kyiv if disrupted. On the very day of that announcement, Russian strikes killed seven civilians in Merefa, near Kharkiv.
A ceasefire that comes with a threat to bomb a capital city is a PR exercise. Ukraine's proposal is different. It is open-ended. It is unconditional. And it starts now, not in three days. Belgium calls on Russia to accept it and to use this moment to move from silence to dialogue.
Our support for Ukraine remains unwavering. The path to lasting peace requires genuine commitment from all sides. Ukraine has shown that commitment. Now it's Russia's turn.

🇮🇱 Enough with these caricatures, Minister @gidonsaar.
In Belgium, the judiciary is independent and makes its decisions —whether one agrees with them or not— free from any political influence. I recall that the proceedings in question were initiated by representatives of the Jewish community themselves. To portray those as a country’s desire to undermine the religious freedom of Jews is defamatory. This freedom has never been called into question and never will be in our country. Our Constitution protects it.
Since you yourself recently urged against conducting diplomacy via Twitter, I suggest that we discuss all these issues during a meeting in Israel at a time that suits you best, in order to put an end to any misinterpretations.

🇺🇸 Mr. Ambassador @BillWhiteUSA,
I urge you to exercise greater restraint and to view your role in its proper context. It is inappropriate to publicly criticize a country and tarnish its image simply because you disagree with judicial proceedings. I have already told you this. Would you consider it acceptable for our Ambassador in Washington to do the same?

And it is not for an ambassador to dictate the government’s agenda.

Good morning, pawsies. Sorry for not checking in yesterday. Mum's pretty sick with colitis. But we'd like to pay tribute to our Spook, who 2 years ago yesterday Jan 12, crossed the Bridge, after a short brave struggle with a very aggressive cancer. Run forever free, weeti Spook.
We are devastated by the abuse NHS staff are getting on Twitter. Staff need your support now more than ever. If you stand with the NHS and its staff please you will help turn Twitter blue and pop an #NHSblueheart 💙 on your name on your profile 🙏🏻 Let’s get this trending, pls RT!
