15+ min ago (1008+ words) Israel has kept attacking Gaza during the first phase, so what will the second phase bring? By Simon Speakman Cordall Hamas is expected to hand over the body of the last Israeli captive held in Gaza in the coming days and has commented that it would be open to discussing "freezing" its weapons to facilitate entering the second phase of the ceasefire. Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sunday that the second phase would be challenging to achieve but that it could begin as soon as this month. However, Israel has been attacking Gaza throughout the first phase, killing at least 360 Palestinians, and still restricts the entry of aid, with quantities allowed in far below what was agreed. So, how has phase one of the ceasefire gone? And what are the chances of it continuing into phase two?...

LGBTQ+ narratives are being stripped from public memory just as attacks on queer and trans people surge. Why some museums refuse to let history repeat itself. Landesarchiv Berlin via Pink Triangle Legacies Project We all must learn to embrace discomfort and engage with history, both our own and that of our ancestors, and the history of those we perceive as far different from ourselves.

34+ min ago (194+ words) I feel very fortunate that so many people value me enough to want me at their wedding, and while I am happy for my friends who are getting married, I have started to feel intense envy and despair. I want love and commitment so badly. I can put my feelings aside for the duration of the wedding, but without fail, I end up sobbing at home alone when it's over. I don't want to be the bitter single friend. I'm also not naive enough to think that I'm guaranteed to find a partner'I know that it's entirely possible that I won't, so the typical "you'll find love when you least expect it!" advice doesn't work on me. How do I move past these ugly feelings so I can be truly happy for my friends who have found love? 'Always Be…...

Adam Gopnik is right that Trump's demolition of Roosevelt's East Wing violates the democratic process (Comment, November 3rd). But the White House building itself is not exactly a paragon of democracy. Gopnik's piece sent me back to John Ruskin, whom he cites as "the greatest of architectural critics." In "The Stones of Venice," Ruskin insists that buildings record not just the ideals of those who commissioned them but also the conditions of those who built them. The East Wing was grafted onto an original structure that was built in part by enslaved people. Its neoclassical form proclaimed republican ideals; its production betrayed them. Trump's wrecking ball is crude,…...
