@KameliaKilawan @Sid_huma @AJStream Being a female I was often told that this field is not for "respectable" women... so i made sure to step into this profession to make space for other respectable women!

Are there women here who leave the house with zero makeup on? Like not even a little bit. I want to hear from you—what’s that like?

Hussain Rehar becomes the first Pakistani designer to appear on the #Cannes2026 red carpet, wearing a classic sherwani crafted in handwoven tissue silk, paired with an emerald-green amulet accessory. Classy.

یادش بخیر۔۔۔ بلاول کے نانا ذوالفقار علی بھٹو نے اختلاف کرنے پر اپنی ہی پارٹی کے سیکرٹری جنرل جے اے رحیم کے گھر رات ایک بجے ایف ایس ایف بھیجی جو انکو ٹھڈے مکے مارتی ہوئے لیکر گئی۔ دل نہیں بھرا تو 68 سالہ جلال الدین عبدالرحیم اور انکے بیٹے پر غیر انسانی جنسی تشدد بھی کیا۔ یہ بہیمانہ کارروائی بھٹو کے سیکورٹی چیف سعید خان عرف سعید کٹا کی ذاتی سربراہی میں سرانجام دی گئی تھی۔

بلاول بھٹو کی جانب سے شازیہ مری کی مداخلت پر اظہار برہمی۔ میں اتنا لکھ سکتی ہوں باقی سنیے اور خود اندازہ لگا لیجئے کہ کس کا رویہ کیسا تھا۔

Pakistan's drug stories are too deep and mysterious as it involve huge money and flash trade as well. For years i had reported such matters during my reporting days and f. I doubt people would ever be able to know the true story. Media already been told to underplay the story. Some reports suggest that she was first detained about a week back and brought to Karachi from Lahore. Let see for how long this story remains in the headline what to talk of trial.

I was on a train in Tokyo. We stopped between stations. Announcement in Japanese, then in English: "We apologize for the delay. We will resume shortly." The delay was maybe 3 minutes. Not a big deal. When the train started moving again, another announcement: "We sincerely apologize for the delay. We were stopped for 3 minutes and 20 seconds. This is unacceptable. Thank you for your patience." Three minutes and twenty seconds. They measured it exactly. And called it unacceptable. When I got off at my stop, there were station staff on the platform bowing and handing out delay certificates. I took one out of curiosity. It was an official document stating that the train had been delayed by 3 minutes and 20 seconds, signed and stamped. The staff member said in English "for your employer. So they know the delay was not your fault." I said I'm a tourist, I don't need it. He looked confused. "But the delay affected you. You deserve an apology." Three minutes. They were treating a three-minute delay like a major incident. Later I mentioned this to a Japanese friend. They said "oh yes, delay certificates are normal. Trains are supposed to be exactly on time. If they are late, they must apologize." I said three minutes isn't late, it's nothing. My friend said "in Japan, three minutes is late. On time means on time. Not approximately on time." They said the train company probably investigated why there was a 3-minute delay. "They will find the cause and fix it so it doesn't happen again." I kept the certificate. It's framed in my apartment now. A reminder that somewhere in the world, people care about three minutes. © 6IX. @BSAT_Properties

I have covered sexual violence in conflict for more than a decade. These are very difficult stories to report - not just emotionally, but in terms of corroboration and evidence-gathering. Given the evidence we have, though, it's impossible to deny that Palestinians are being sexually abused in Israeli prisons and by far-right settlers, and that soldiers, settlers, and guards are sexually violating Palestinians with impunity because the right-wing Israeli government has made clear that there will be no consequences for even horrific crimes and acts of abuse. Thanks to @NickKristof for writing about it. throughline.news/p/the-systemic…

میں تو اب بھی سوچتی ہوں چوہدری صاحب نیت کے ٹھیک آدمی ہونگے سب کے پیسے واپس کریں گے کیونکہ اتنا بڑا نام بندہ چند روپوں کے عوض تھوڑی خراب کرسکتا ہے۔ لوگوں نے تو پیسے واقعی میں دئے ہے، اگر چوہدری جیسے لوگ بھی ان غریبوں کو لوٹے تو اس ملک کا کیا بنیں گا۔۔ یہاں تو پھر سب ایک دوسرے کو نوچ رہیں ہیں بغیر کسی گلٹ کے بغیر کسی شرمساری کے۔

I think the only way to detect this earlier than stage 4 is ….. scans! Do scans regularly. Like X-rays for lungs, mri, low dose CT and so on. I guess the trouble is false positives, but perhaps with AI we can minimise those. Think about how is the president’s or queen’s or king’s health monitored? I recon it is similar to @bryan_johnson regime. They will most certainly do some regular checks and preventive action to adjust blood levels.

This is a hard article to read, but I hope you'll do so. I've spent some time reporting on widespread rape and other sexual violence of Palestinian male and female prisoners by Israeli authorities, and the article is now published. The assault victims were warned not to give speak of what they endured -- they were sometimes told they would be killed or raped if they gave interviews -- but they found the courage to do so. One man described being raped three times in a single day in Israeli prison, the third time after he tried to protest. A young woman said the guards would come in at the beginning of each shift and strip her naked and abuse her. Another reported that she was shown photos of herself being raped and warned they would be released unless she cooperated with Israeli intelligence. Even three children who had been detained told me they had been sexually abused. Look, whatever our position on the Middle East, we should be able to agree on being anti-rape. Sexual assaults were horrific when Israeli women were targeted on Oct. 7, and they're equally horrific when Israeli authorities use them against Palestinians day after day after day. We should be able to find common ground in opposing rape. Here's a gift link to the article: nytimes.com/2026/05/11/opi…
