Remembering David Hockney, he was kind and always had a sparkle in his eye. He never stopped experimenting and is one of the finest painters of our generation.

🚨The recent images of Dr. Hussam Abu Safyia are shocking evidence of Israel's abuse against Palestinian detainees.

Dr. Abu Safyia has been arbitrarily detained for one and a half years without charges, while being physically abused and denied healthcare.

His recent solitary confinement adds a further layer of concerns over his deteriorating health. Dr. Abu Safyia must be immediately and unconditionally released. Israel must release all Palestinians arbitrarily detained. States must pressure Israel to stop abusing Palestinian prisoners.

The full uncut ending of the Knicks’ comeback is superb. Ridiculous to be honest.

[Everest Today @EverestToday]

We still do not know every detail surrounding the disappearance of Dawa Sherpa, who has been missing high on Mt Everest since 28 May. We also acknowledge and apploud that 8K Expeditions came out and now taken the initiative to organize an aerial search in an effort to locate him. But one difficult question remains: if the climber left behind on Everest had been a foreign client, would the response have been the same? Or would there have been a far greater and more immediate effort to search for and rescue them?

It is an uncomfortable question, but one that deserves to be asked.

For decades, Sherpas have been the backbone of Everest. They fix the ropes, break the trail, carry the loads, support clients, and make countless summit dreams possible. Much of the commercial climbing industry that once depended on Western guiding companies now relies heavily on the skill, strength, and sacrifice of Sherpa climbers and their companies. Yet when a Sherpa goes missing high on the mountain, where is that same urgency? Where is that same determination to bring him home?

Dawa Sherpa has now been missing on Everest for days. Beyond the business, the records, the permits, and the commercialization, this tragedy should remind us of a simple truth: a Sherpa life is worth no less than any other life on the mountain.

Everest should not place a different value on a human being based on nationality, wealth, or whether they are a client or a worker.

Every life matters equally. Every missing climber deserves the same urgency. Every family deserves answers.
