10 months since this conversation w Dr Yasser Khan (@yakeyes) & the suffering has only grown exponentially for #Palestinians. Add to this the same pattern befalling on #Lebanon & a global community of leaders with no spines, & empty words. #NoWar #healthcare #ceasefire #UN #Gaza

THIS is what compassionate & clear leadership SOUNDS like @JustinTrudeau @JoeBiden If you had any real care for #peace & #humanity instead of towing the #war line of party donors,you too could credibly give a speech like this to @UN 👊🏽 @miaamormottley youtu.be/_got5rApjJ4?si=4rpU…

These 2 highlighted sentences in @JoeBiden’s statement carry a lot of responsibility. Either #Netanyahu now ends the fullscale military campaign that crushed all of #Gaza & focuses on a sincere,precise hostage rescue plan,or it was never really about the hostages. #CeasefireNow?

That whole #debate was a meme. Whoever may have “won” this slow motion car crash….in the end, America lost. #bidentrump #wtf

Spending a few hours with @yakeyes for our conversation on #humanity and the unbearable situation of the people in #Gaza, was both humbling and haunting. If you haven’t already checked out the full conversation, and heard from someone who’s actually been there and describes the situation, you’re missing a key glimpse into the broader catastrophe. #ceasefirenow #khanyunis #rafah #nowar Full Conversation: podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcas…

EPISODE #026 - “Humanitarian In Gaza” “This has been a war on the healthcare system” After being deeply affected by the ongoing suffering in #Gaza, Dr. #YasserKhan travelled to #KhanYunis in southern Gaza to help, as missles and bombs went off within 1km of the hospital. From his life, inspirations and experiences, to his first-hand experience of the situation at the #GazaEuropeanHospital in Khan Yunis, this conversation is a window into true #humanity, and the struggle, suffering, resilience and strength of the #Palestinian people. If you listen to one thing today, let it be this. Full Conversation on Apple Podcasts: podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcas… #NoWar #Palestine #CeasefireNOW Peace 🙏🏽

After a dramatic week for @sama & @OpenAI, & nearly one year since #ChatGPT took the world by storm, I sat down with the amazing #MartinRyan to discuss the complex world of ethics in #AI & #technology. Full conversation @ApplePodcasts > podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcas…

In dark times, I’m reminded that there are beautiful people out there keeping the lights on. This 2019 conversation w @nickiwells is one of our most popular episodes & a brilliant reminder that #music is the great unifier. podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcas…

in a world that feels darker more divided right now may we light a flame in ourselves that dispels this ignorance and show us we have all in fact been standing next to each other in the same dark room unable or unwilling to see the humanity in each other #Diwali #Peace

.@KChimaev your comments after the win were the best part of #UFC294. After hearing what you said in the heat of post-win adrenaline, I was in tears. Thank you 🙏🏽 Nothing is more painful than when the kids are hurt. I ask you to hear what my son has to say about #Gaza & #Israel
The situation in #Gaza & #Israel affects us all. Here’s an excerpt of a sleepy conversation I had with my 9-year old son. I was humbled by his wisdom & compassion.He exhibits more #humanity than most supposed “world leaders”. Full conversation @ podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcas…

.@sidsriram you and your whole crew were amazing in #Toronto tonight. You went all-in on every song and sang for over 3 hours. That is stamina. Somehow, it still feels like you’re just getting started. This one shot… light crowns, did it for me. #sidsriram
