had really been looking forward to this @60Minutes interview with christopher nolan as #TheOdyssey looms: cbsnews.com/news/director-… feeling shortchanged after discovering it's only a thirteen minute feature: youtu.be/S2hkexeu3_8 😒

@2newhope3 @Stakof @Lutpi_upi he literally directed you to the tweet in which he mentions the sources he's deriving all this from, and you think he's citing the tweet itself as the source. 🤦🏾‍♂️

@Stakof @Lutpi_upi So you are the source

Did you know the Zamzam well went missing for centuries? Missing. Not dry. So buried under sand and silence that nobody alive remembered exactly where it sat. Here's what happened. The Jurhum tribe ruled Mecca for generations. They got comfortable. Too comfortable. They helped themselves to offerings meant for the Ka'ba, sometimes openly, sometimes on the sly. Khuza'a eventually pushed them out. But before Jurhum left, they did something on purpose: they took the gold gazelles from the Ka'ba, the swords, the sacred objects, threw them all down the well, then buried the whole thing. Al-Azraqi (d. ~250 AH) records it in Akhbar Makkah, vol. 1, pp. 64-65, in the chapter on Khuza'a taking over after Jurhum: وَكَانَ مَاءُ زَمْزَمَ قَدْ نَضَبَ وَذَهَبَ لَمَّا أَحْدَثَتْ جُرْهُمُ فِي الْحَرَمِ مَا أَحْدَثَتْ، حَتَّى غَبِيَ مَكَانُ الْبِئْرِ وَدَرَسَ، فَقَامَ مُضَاضُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو وَبَعْضُ وَلَدِهِ فِي لَيْلَةٍ مُظْلِمَةٍ، فَحَفَرَ فِي مَوْضِعِ زَمْزَمَ وَأَعْمَقَ، ثُمَّ دَفَنَ فِيهِ الْأَسْيَافَ وَالْغَزَالَيْنِ. "The water of Zamzam had dried up and gone after Jurhum did in the sanctuary what they did, until the very location of the well was forgotten and worn away. Then Mudhadh ibn Amr and some of his sons came one dark night, dug at the spot of Zamzam and went deep, and buried in it the swords and the two gazelles." Read that again. The water was already gone. The location itself was already forgotten. And on top of that, Mudhadh and his sons still made the trip out one dark night to bury more stuff in there. They wanted to make extra sure. Generations rolled by. The well stayed lost. Then, according to Ibn Hisham's Sira, vol. 1, pp. 131-132, Abdul Muttalib started getting visited in his sleep at the Hijr. Four nights running, a voice told him to dig. Different name every night. Tayyiba. Barra. Al-Madhnuna. Then finally: Zamzam, the one that never runs dry, never gets blamed, that waters the great pilgrim. That's how the well everyone drinks from today resurfaced. Not a continuous trickle from the days of Ismail. A rediscovery, after a long blackout. The Zamzam in your bottle has a jump cut in its biography.

@Leearna6 i think i watched the first season, or maybe most of it, but then never managed to get round to continuing, despite really liking it.

@AnasRawi No problem..."This is the way" 🤣 that phrase will make sense once you've watched them. I love The Mandalorian

to those who've seen it, does one have to have watched the tv series #TheMandalorian before watching the film #TheMandalorianandGrogu? or can the film be treated as a standalone?

@doctor_rahmeh seemingly on brand: x.com/i/status/19301…

@Leearna6 thanks! that makes sense ☺️.

@AnasRawi It could be seen as a stand alone but it'll mske far more sense if you've watched all episodes 1st - character and characters wise.

On my way to the Unite the Kingdom March right now. Got my cameras and all set for a great day out.

Taking a picture of a woman and posting it online for the way she chooses to dress is dishonourable behaviour that should be rejected by any society that wants to maintain a shred of integrity or moral standards. May God protect this sister and keep her steadfast.

@ezchill70 they're related, but no, the late professor walid khalidi: x.com/i/status/20306…

@MTzadoq @melanie_SVDJ @EYakoby Yes. Who is Walid Khalidi? You mean Rashid Khalidi?

BREAKING: Mehdi Hasan attempts to coerce the International Criminal Court Prosecutor Karim Khan to say that there is evidence of genocide in Gaza. Even Karim Khan says that there is no evidence.

@simten120314 @FranceskAlbs @BBC @Basement_Films @bendepear @ramitanavai @C4Dispatches @Channel4 @zeteo_news @mehdirhasan @jaberphotos @AmnestyUK you're very welcome ✊🏾.

@AnasRawi @FranceskAlbs @BBC @Basement_Films @bendepear @ramitanavai @C4Dispatches @Channel4 @zeteo_news @mehdirhasan @jaberphotos @AmnestyUK Thanks for sharing the link for the film

All medical professionals should watch it, and decide for themselves what to do next. NB this documentary - that BBC refused to air - was produced during the first year of the genocide. Since then, Israel has destroyed most of what you see (being still Gaza) in the documentary.

Free Speech is not about protecting comfortable speech or popular opinions. It’s about protecting the right to speak truth to power, document atrocities, name genocide when we see it, and demand accountability even when it makes the powerful uncomfortable. substacktools.com/sharex/d_WVn8fT

@LChurchill43363 @ramitanavai @BAFTA @Basement_Films @bendepear @C4Dispatches @Channel4 @zeteo_news @mehdirhasan @jaberphotos @AmnestyUK can't be doin with dafties and their unhinged takes. blocked.

@AnasRawi @ramitanavai @BAFTA @Basement_Films @bendepear @C4Dispatches @Channel4 @zeteo_news @mehdirhasan @jaberphotos @AmnestyUK The full mockumentary. One woman betrays humanity to support tyranny.

Here is my BAFTA speech in full, with the important bit that hasn't been shown. Also, a heartfelt thank you to everyone who supported us, and to our colleagues who rallied around us. And thank you to @BAFTA and the judges for a great evening and a great honour.

@joyce02011kky @WallStreetMav noticed one of those boxes wasn't 'acting'. i see what you did there... 😏

@WallStreetMav I fully support this casting 😂 Helen of Troy was supposed to be the face (and everything else) that launched a thousand ships. Sydney Sweeney checks every box beauty, star power, and zero need for “reimagining”

This didn't need to be so complicated for casting. Sydney Sweeney as Helen of Troy ... $1 billion box office smash.

@AnasRawi @ramitanavai @BAFTA @Basement_Films @bendepear @C4Dispatches @Channel4 @zeteo_news @mehdirhasan @jaberphotos @AmnestyUK Have you seen the film about October 7th. Watch it. It features some lovely young men from Gaza raping and burning women men and little kids. And filming it for their lovely parents.

@ShellOnTheVerge @ramitanavai @helensclegel @BAFTA there's a link here to the full documentary: x.com/i/status/20539…

@ramitanavai @helensclegel @BAFTA Congratulations. Well deserved. I had the @BAFTA s on and had no idea this had won. Where can I watch it?

@asanza2420 @implausibleblog @BBC @mehdirhasan @zeteo_news @AmnestyUK @bendepear @Basement_Films @jaberphotos @Channel4 what it depicts is so so awful, but it's so compellingly made at such great risk to those behind it. you must read this by @FranceskAlbs; it's just been published in english and is tremendous: x.com/i/status/20531…

@AnasRawi @implausibleblog @BBC @mehdirhasan @zeteo_news @AmnestyUK @bendepear @Basement_Films @jaberphotos @Channel4 I watched it last night!

Gaza: Doctors Under Attack wins a BAFTA Award Executive Producer Ben de Pear, "Just a question for the BBC, given you that you dropped our film will you drop us from the BAFTA TV screening later on tonight?" And guess what, they edited it to this shorter version
