@Prof_Quiteamess haha this looks bad but I’m pretty sure almost all of these are just the first questions in the general knowledge round which are always super easy, even in the non-celeb show - they’re just meant to ease you into it I think.

RIP Brian Wilson. Literally moments ago finished @NifMuhammad’s beautiful book There’s Always This Year, which features this passage.

How shameful of the big western media, all of them, TV and Newspapers.
Just in 24 hours, Israel killed 131 people and erased 6 families in Gaza. And just in the past three hours, people in Gaza, I mean the family of both me and my wife , are going through HELL. Not only did Israel bomb houses packed with families but also pounded the roads to make it harder for any ambulances to rescue people.
And my heart is beating nonstop as I read the names of my friends and neighbors being killed.
And nothing on your websites or screens. Seriously guys? You call this journalism?
Your journalism should be more serious and responsible than ever because this country is enabling all of this!
I just checked every place and nothing is centering this catastrophe today!
You dehumanize us. You contribute to all of this from the start.
I will never forgive you!
We will remember this.
I’m heartbroken!!

What’s happening?

⭐️THIS⭐️ is happening:

These are the four pieces for which I won the Pulitzer Prize for Commentary. All published in 2024.

Blessings to the souls of 31 members of my family who were killed in one air strike in 2023.
Blessings to the souls of my four first cousins, two of whom were killed with their husbands and their children.
Blessings to the soul of my great aunt, Fatima, whose “corpse” remains under the rubble of her house since October 2024.
Blessings to the graves of my grandparents, refugee from Yaffa, who I will never find.
Blessings to the souls of my students who got killed while looking for food and firewood. To the school where I studied and where I taught, to the library that I founded and to which I added one poetry book before 2023.
Blessings to many more, many more.
I’m praying for an immediate and permanent ceasefire and JUSTICE and PEACE!

There are male footballers who have committed sexual assaults and are happily moving forward with their careers, and yet the FA draw the line on 20 transgender women and have the gall to say it’s for “protection”.

You’re not protecting us, you’re putting women in more danger.

[Suzy Wrack @SuzyWrack]

Very sad day. Those involved in women's football have spent decades advocating for women to be able to reap all the benefits that sports provides a person (be it socially, emotionally, physically, mentally, or in so many other ways). That has meant that women's... 1/

Let's start with a 1973 May Day poster from Czech artist František Kopenec.

Turns out straight white men do understand the importance of representation when it’s their identity they don’t see on the shelf 🤷‍♀️
