Someone actually asked this question 🙄
Imagine showering only once in the tropics!

[Sonia @BalogunSonia4]

Are there actually people who shower at night before bed...and then shower again in the morning when they wake up?

Journalist Saleh Al-Jafarawi was kidnapped by Israeli backed gangs in Gaza City they fired 7 bullets and killed him while his only weapon was his camera.

He was smeared and targeted for two years during the genocide.

May his memory be blessed.

Academia is held together by caffeine, free labour, and the two people who nod encouragingly during presentations

[Tinaz Amit @tinaz_amit]

A path that's taken too long to venture. But becoming a reality.

Happy to see an academic of the caliber of @Dr_HariniA being appointed as PM. Also good to have a female PM in #SriLanka for the first time in over two decades. This country needs more female representatives, especially ones like Harini who are not from political dynasties. For that, we are committed to reforming the existing political culture, which is often hostile to women. #lka

The parents of Ellen Greenberg, a Philadelphia teacher who died in 2011 with 20 stab wounds, have been granted permission by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court to contest the ruling that her death was a su*cide.

On January 26, 2011, a blizzard struck Philadelphia, leading Ellen Greenberg to leave her job and head back to her apartment in Manayunk.

That evening at about 6:40 p.m., Ellen was found dead, having suffered twenty stab wounds, ten of which were to her back and neck.

Additionally, there were eleven bruises in various stages of healing on her right arm, abdomen, and right leg.

Despite the severity and nature of her injuries, the Philadelphia PD classified her death as a suicide.

However, the case was labeled "suspicious" by homicide investigators before it was ultimately closed as a su*cide.

JK Rowling slams Paris Olympics calling it a ‘Disgrace’ after a biological male beat a female in women’s boxing.

“A young female boxer has just had everything she’s worked and trained for snatched away because you allowed a male to get in the ring with her. You’re a disgrace, your ‘safeguarding’ is a joke and #Paris24 will be forever tarnished by the brutal injustice done to Carini.”

The Harry Potter authors comments came after Algerian boxer Imane Khelif, who is biologically male, beat Italian female boxer Angela Carini in 46 seconds.

BIG NEWS 🚨 French Muslim athletes banned from wearing hijabs in Paris Olympic events despite opposition from Muslim players.

Australian boxer Tina Rahimi opposed the decision. She said "I choose to wear the hijab as a part of my religion and I am proud to do so"

Along with the players, coaches and referees have also been barred from wearing Hijab.

Da Vinci's Last Supper is a keystone of Christian art.

It inspired centuries of awe and speculation — over its subtle symbols and concealed messages.

But there's something hidden that nearly everyone overlooks... (thread) 🧵

In 2012, Adidas secured the title sponsorship of the Olympics for $150 million and thought they would overshadow Nike.

However, Nike used a brilliant strategy to outperform Adidas and dominate the Olympics.

Here’s the full story:

Thoughts on a Monday morning..

No one questions when mediocre men are placed in top positions.

But when brilliant women are given a chance, one of the first questions is, "Whom did she sleep with to get to the top?"

Over 5,000 government sector doctors🧑‍⚕️ have completed their licensing exams to work in foreign countries. With a total of 20,000 doctors in the country, 25% are planning to leave✈️. This will create an unprecedented crisis in the #healthcare sector.

Those geniuses who think it doesn't matter because the private sector can cater to that demand should realize that these are the same #doctors who work in private hospitals🏥.

I think @RW_UNP was correct when he said he is the captain of the Titanic🚢.

This is absolutely incredible news if you're even remotely interested in South Asian or Sri Lankan literature. @_vajra's debut novel, the Saint of Bright Doors has won the Nebula. Not only is this a first for the region, it's one of the cleverest books I've read in the past year.

[Nalaka Gunawardene @NalakaG]

Surely @Dailymirror_SL this is NOT news in the public interest? It’s cheap sensationalist gossip of the kind that fills up Sinhala newspaper pages, and certainly does not deserve frontpage space! And why are you peddling homophobic sentiments? What #MediaEthics or human decency?
