My grandfather doesn’t believe in retirement homes. He says they’re too expensive and the food is bad. Instead, he’d rather check into a luxury hotel near the beach.
When we asked him about the cost, he said, “If I stay at a nursing home, it’s $200 a day and no one visits. If I stay at this hotel, it’s $100 a day. I get room service, a pool, and my grandkids visit me every weekend because they want to go to the beach. Plus, if I die in the lobby, the hotel manager will actually be upset.”
At the nursing home, they just call it ‘Tuesday’.
A BBC report on how the Israeli Defence Force killed two Palestinian children in the occupied West Bank - 15 year old Basil and 8 year old Adam.
8 year old Adam was shot in the back of the head as he was running away from the soldiers.
"Women, children and babies were killed, execution style, by Israeli forces while they were sheltering inside" a UN school.
This won't get anywhere near the coverage of the 40 beheaded babies myth, unless we force them to cover it.
@ImranKhanPTI What kind of cynicism is this? State institutions must be part of the theft. It cannot happen without their involvement in the first place. They are protecting themselves as much as their corrupt leadership
We must learn/re-learn to see the threads that unite humans. We must begin again to value humanity. If we do not and history takes it's natural course, we will have no choice but to be helpless witnesses to our own demise. https://t.co/1BkzqE4Oe9

@PTIofficial@ImranKhanPTI Mr. PM, please re-instate Atif Mian. His mind/credentials/experience/qualifications were the criteria that recommended him, not his religion. Pakistan looses from his exclusion. #AtifMian#AtifMian_b_kickedout
