The moment the mother of Iranian protestor Mohsen Shekari, age 23, learns he’s been hanged for “waging war against God”. The regime told her to stay silent to win his release. This execution was meant to deter further dissent, but likely does the opposite. xitter.cf/1500tasvir/status/1600…

Pearly Young, 77, was killed today in #Buffalo shopping for groceries.
For 25 years she ran a pantry where every Saturday she fed people in Central Park. Every. Saturday.
She loved singing, dancing, & being with family.
She was mother, grandma, & missionary. Gone too soon 🕊

This beautiful family doesn’t exist any more. Mykhailo Soloshenko, his wife Inna and son Yefrem were killed when a Russian tank fired on their car. Mykhailo was a Sumy University graduate - they confirmed his passing and released this photo.

And with the Bills kneeling it out, they’re going to do it. No kicks or punts. No turnovers. Also no failed 4th down attempts. Wow - an incredible game and a first in NFL history!

One of the wealthiest men in all human history remains so unfulfilled by the material environs his riches can procure for him that he devotes his mind to escaping the material world entirely. It feels too much like a parable to be real.

Chaos and tragedy are one part of the global story centred on Kabul; the other is a West getting its act together. I describe how, in a piece for today's Hindustan Times (@htTweets).

Staying calm is power:
1. Study what triggers you
2. Ask why & how it triggers
3. Recognize when it happens
4. Shift mind to your breathing
5. Focus on not reacting
The battle of self-control.

On this date in 1976 over 200 students were massacred by apartheid police right here in Soweto, South Africa for raising their fists and singing the African anthem “Morena Boloka Sechaba Sa Heso.” Some years later in the same spot, the Morellos sang that same song in their memory

Thread on western (specifically NYT) coverage of 'Africa', this time in context of #Covid
In November, the @nytimes published an article about efforts in Asia to fight back COVID. They mentioned specifically 3 countries (Hong Kong, Korea and Japan) and outlined long histories of policy implementation by health officials in these nations trying to combat infections
