Rabiya Ahsan's murder is particularly distressing because seeing her on 92 News was such a routine part of daily tv news viewing
There is a FEMICIDE going on in Pakistan. Hina Javed's husband just got away with premeditated killing & now this
FCC's judgment in Nadia Sarwar case, Justice Najafi's remarks about Noor Mukaddam, Captain Safdar's remarks about breast cancer patients; there is an enabling environment for the 'othering' of women right now & this is deeply concerning

I hate Canadian Halloween, what do you mean you’re Jagmeet Singh’s suspicious red duffle bag

No beheadings for these harassers who disrespected the holiest Islamic site by behaving like swines. But a married couple from Bangladesh was beheaded for a forehead kiss. There's no bigger crime than being poor or being a South Asian in Saudi Arabia!

Simon has been found dead, reportedly from "suicide." RIP to Simon and to all whistleblowers who have died too young.
The truth about Lutnick will never die
I am the British whistleblower who reported evidence concerning Howard Lutnick, his links to Jeffrey Epstein, and Cantor Fitzgerald and BGC to the FBI in 2020–21.
Listen to the BBC File on 4 documentary about my whistleblower story:

BBC News:

I later shared evidence with the House Oversight Committee, which subsequently questioned Lutnick behind closed doors.
My disclosures also contributed to regulatory action in the US and UK, including a £96m HMRC tax assessment relating to BGC’s partnership scheme. I believe the true tax exposure is substantially higher.
I also reported to the FBI and financial regulators matters involving Cantor Fitzgerald’s Relief Fund and BGC/Cantor’s annual 9/11 Charity Day.
The personal consequences of whistleblowing, and the retaliation I say followed, have been devastating for my family and me.
Mother Jones previously reported that documents I uncovered revealed a years-long business tie between Howard Lutnick, Cantor Fitzgerald and Jeffrey Epstein through AdFin, including a 2018 exchange in which Lutnick and Epstein discussed the company directly:

Follow me here on X and on LinkedIn. I intend to share more of the evidence and the story behind what happened.

He is a psychopath. His body language, his words, the way he is actually asking the question to the girl for justification and had so many scenarios in his mind, not okay at all.
The red flags were never hidden. A year before brutally murdering his wife, he was literally teaching people to rationalize a husband killing his wife. How did nobody see this man for what he was? #Faisalasghar #femicide

Over the years I have posted about countless crimes against women, the hashtags, the horrors - today I’m posting because my cousin Hina Javed was murdered in her in-laws home yesterday. She’d been married less than 10 months. Pray for her, pray for justice. Demand justice.

idk how many times i can tweet a version of this, but it’s actual policy. mass surveillance, false imprisonment, torture. you can run a campaign on being anti muslim and win. you can build a career around hating muslims and have it turn into a multi million dollar enterprise

the first two paragraphs of this obviously AI-generated story contain the character name "Vishnu Muhammad" and a nominally trinidadian woman saying "the grove ain't forget", on top of a few facially incoherent metaphors. racist judges going "well that's just postco lit" lol
‘The Serpent in the Grove’ by Jamir Nazir is a story set in rural Trinidad about a struggling farmer, a silenced young wife and a grove that seems to remember what others try to bury.
Awarded the Caribbean regional winner title for its lyrical precision and haunting atmosphere, the story stood out for the confidence and restraint of its voice.
The story has been published on Granta: granta.com/the-serpent-in-th…

Well, this is a first: a ChatGPT-generated story won a prestigious literary prize (The Commonwealth Prize).
"Not X, not Y, but Z" sentences everywhere, the "hums" trope, and plenty of other obvious markers of AI writing.
A major milestone for AI, at any rate...

‘Since the beginning of the war in October 2023, not a single foreign journalist has been allowed to enter Gaza to independently report on the ground, forcing Palestinian journalists from Gaza to bear the burden of informing the world all on their own’ - another attempt to get into Gaza @RSF_inter
RSF and three other press organizations filed an emergency motion to the Israeli Supreme Court on 13 April to finally allow foreign journalists independent access to #Gaza. rsf.org/en/foreign-press-acc…
