Kris Kristofferson was a Rhodes Scholar, an Army Captain and a helicopter pilot. A critic of U.S. foreign policy, he opposed wars in Latin America and the Middle East and spoke out against apartheid. He defended family farmers, wrote some damn fine songs and sang mightily! RIP
Sally Rooney further condemned the ongoing genocide in Palestine by Israel right now live from the South Bank Center in London before her reading of her new novel
My essay this morning in The Guardian's fabulous "long read" on impressions from a recent visit to Israel theguardian.com/world/article/…
Happy 100th birthday to James Baldwin. In 1961, at the age of 37, broke and emotionally spent, he arrived in Istanbul, where he lived on and off for the next ten years. Azareen Van der Vliet Oloomi charts this transformative period in the writer's life:yalereview.org/article/azaree…
Today is a big day. My @BBCRadio4 and @BBCSounds debut as an independent producer for my new company Sea Salt and Mango. Delighted to have teamed up with the sound maestro and @AxelKacoutie .
If the day comes when I am martyred, I don't want my words and poetry to be forgotten. I want the whole world to read them and know that there was a boy from Gaza who loved life and wanted to live happily and safely like you.
Alex Rodriguez asked a question. Reggie Jackson answered it. (Shouts to the producer and rest of the desk for staying out of Reggie’s way and just letting him talk. I doubt they expected this answer. But it’s a great few minutes of television.)
This is Gaza City yesterday- remnants of a life once lived. Nothing quite prepares you, especially if you knew her before. These are people’s homes, their favorite cafes, their parks, their schools. Gone. Destruction everywhere of life, a place, a time, a culture. From the inside…
✌️ The Palestine National Team have arrived at Dublin Airport
Only 16 of Gaza’s 36 hospitals are even partly functional. Disease is spreading as the health system collapses. The people of Gaza not only risk being killed or injured by relentless bombardments; they also run a growing chance of contracting infectious diseases.
For English speakers, here is the first message on social media,from @WaelDahdouh after Israel killed his son Hamza.
“In my life, I’ve never seen anything like this in terms of severity, in terms of scale, and then in terms of speed.”
New Interview: I talked to Arif Husain, the chief economist of the World Food Programme, about the food crisis in Gaza, why it may get worse, and what it means for Gaza’s children. newyorker.com/news/q-and-a/g…
There is an acronym specific to Gaza, coined in the last three weeks. WCNSF: Wounded Child No Surviving Family. A pediatrician with Doctors Without Borders: "The worst humanitarian catastrophe I've experienced." twitter.com/timand2037/sta…
Dr Tanya Haj-Hassan, pediatric doctor. "An avalanche of human suffering" in #Gaza, from the constant bombing.
"What’s unfolding in Gaza right now is a humanitarian and health catastrophe...the situation is beyond belief." The @WHO's Dr Michael Ryan has called for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza so that "unhindered, unfettered humanitarian relief" can enter. @rtenews| #rtept
“We look at the world once, in childhood. The rest is memory.” ― Louise Gluck
This weekend we lost an immeasurable talent and tremendous human being. Ahmad Jamal was a giant of Jazz and his influence spans multiple generations of musicians and styles of music. We join the world in mourning and send our deepest condolences to his family and loved ones.
James Baldwin and Miles Davis. Amazing photograph.
Wayne Shorter, my best friend, left us with courage in his heart, love and compassion for all, and a seeking spirit for the eternal future. He was ready for his rebirth. As it is with every human being, he is irreplaceable . . .
“There was no one like Tom,” Patti Smith writes. “He possessed the child’s gift of transforming a drop of water into a poem that somehow begat music.” nyer.cm/6q8a2LY
