Remarkably accurate.

As a current student of the language, I very much appreciate this sentiment. Happy #ArabicLanguageDay!

[Tarik Ali Khan طارق علي خان @tarikdev]

Learning Arabic is like following a thread back through history. Connecting us to the ancient libraries of Cairo, Baghdad, and Damascus, the semi-nomadic tribes of the Levant and Hijaz, the Nabataeans, and the first Aramaic-Semitic peoples. Happy #ArabicLanguageDay!

I expected to see many things when I moved to South Africa, but snow was not one of them! Apparently this was the most significant snowfall in Gauteng since 2012. Drive safe everyone! https://t.co/Oa49Ud7xcr

EKOS prez: "I don’t think those people had an ingrained sympathy to the Russians. They’re reading this from the same sources that were giving them the anti-vax stuff. [D]isinformation was not just a curious feature. It was, I think, a causal ingredient of vaccine resistance."

How Should Canada Respond to the Ukraine Invasion? AntiVax crowd have drunken Russian propaganda.

Saddened to read of the passing of Ben Ferencz, the last surviving prosecutor at the Nuremburg trials, who turned 103 last month. He inspired generations of international jurists, and I was honoured to meet him at the 2019 @asilorg conference. May his memory be a blessing.

Happy National Flag Day, Canada! 🇨🇦
