Emotional moment two women blinded under Islamic regimes meeting each other for the first time. Fahimeh is from Afghanistan. Her husband threw acid on her face because she was fighting for women's rights against the Taliban. As her face burned, he told her: now I have taken your eyes and your face, people will be scared of you, so I dare you to go out and talk to people. I invited her to come on stage with me and talk directly to thousands of people in Poland. She met Kosar, an Iranian woman who was blinded by the Islamic Republic during the Woman life Freedom uprising. We are now together stepping into Jewish history in Poland, including Auschwitz, and understanding the connection between the Holocaust and the Islamic Republic’s massacre on 2026. If any of you think it’s easy to live under Islamic republic or Taliban just listened to their stories. These women are not fighting for themselves. They are fighting to protect democracy everywhere from the most dangerous cancer, which is called Islamism.

Trump is so angry that Ukrainians won’t surrender and die quietly so he and his friends can make money with Putin.

Did you see this? @britishmuseum received a £30 million donation from a longtime patron for its renovation of among several things the West Wing galleries, which is designed by architect Lina Ghotmeh.

Une petite curiosité @Drouot : pour Alexandre Dumas fils, Henry Cros, qui a aimé sculpter la cire, fit une réplique (44 x 29 cm) de la Tête Wicar offerte (avec sa collection de dessins) au musée de Lille, effigie qui en fit rêver beaucoup, et qu'il croyait dater du XVIe siècle

The outsize name board in early 19th-century slab-serif or "Egyptian" lettering distinguishes the coaching inn built in Arundel High Street by the Duke of Norfolk in 1785. The room above the arch could hold 150 at dinner. Listed Grade II*.

A horrific Russian strike in the Kharkiv region. A “shahed” struck people directly – in a park near an ordinary café. Pure atrocity. Six people were killed, including children. A little girl was killed in a stroller – her name was Angelina, she was just over a year old, born in August 2025… Her mother’s name was Inna. She died in the hospital… Another girl who was killed was 11 years old. My condolences to their families and loved ones. Another 14 people were injured, including six more children. I am grateful to everyone who supports Ukraine under these circumstances and helps us shoot down “shaheds,” shoot down missiles, and stop Russian assaults. These are horrific photos, but behind them are shattered lives and the truth about this war. Lives must be protected. Ukraine needs air defense. You can't think about making money with Russia as long as it continues its asinine war. We ask that sanctions on Russia stay in place as long as the killings continue. We ask America to be strong, and we ask it to apply the Lindsey Graham law. We ask Europe to continue its support. We ask that everything possible be done to bring peace and guarantee security. Ukraine wants peace. It is Russia that has insisted on continuing the killing all this time. The world has enough strength to stop the war. That strength must finally be used – against the murderers.

Even more than usually disgusting.
Trump says that Russia “frankly, has been fine on Ukraine. They haven't been doing much." Notably, a Russian strike on a park in Ukraine's Kharkiv Oblast today killed six people, including three children.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Same day a Russian drone killed six civilians, including children, in a Kharkiv region park. Overnight strikes cut power to 550,000 households. Ukrainian civilian casualties up 85% y/y in September. usnews.com/news/world/art… abcnews.com/International/… mb.com.ph/article/109408…

For #MosaicMonday, this framed #Nilotic scene is actually a surviving fragment of the famous Asàrotos òikos (Unswept Floor) from the #Aventine. It formed the high-art centrepiece of the dining room, admired by guests looking past the trompe-l'œil food debris at their feet. – at Vatican City

"The Babe with a cry brief and dismal": the necessity and cost of font covers in later medieval England. The babe, with a cry brief and dismal Fell into the water baptismal. Ere they'd gathered its plight It had sunk out of sight Fir the depth of the font was abysmal. – at Vatican City

🇺🇦 Zelenskyy delivers a blunt message to the United States: “Just give us Starlink back. If you refuse, Ukraine will survive. We will continue defending ourselves with or without it. But why would you restrict a country fighting for its survival? Why make it harder for us to defend our people? I simply cannot understand the reasoning behind this decision. It is a mistake.” Ukraine isn’t asking America to fight its war. It’s asking America not to stand in the way of its defense.

'Drug Store.' (1927) Edward Hopper’s paintings have defined our idea of the modern urban world. In his early years, he studied under Robert Henri and embraced his central teaching: to paint the city and street life he knew best.

Spectacular fan fault of Kings College Chapel Cambridge. The overabundance of dragons and greyhounds hammer home Henry VII's claim to the throne.

Trump is throwing Ukraine to the wolves. Putin's war aim is to annihilate Ukrainian nationhood, that is actual genocidal intent, and the consequences for Ukraine and its people will be as nothing we've seen since WW2. I don't recognise this new America.
