Reay Road is a train station on the Harbour/Branch line of the Mumbai local suburban rail network, operated by the Central Railways, Mumbai Division. The station was named after Lord Reay, Governor of Bombay between 1885 and 1890. It was opened to the public on 12th December 1910 by the Great Indian Peninsula Railway as the terminal of the Kurla-Reay line.

The line was later extended to Victoria Terminus (now Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus) in 1925, via Sandhurst Road and Dockyard Road, through an elevated rail corridor. It was also one of the first stations to be electrified in 1925.

The station building is a single-story grey building with pilasters, with the station name and "GIPR" (Great Indian Peninsular Railway) engraved outside the station building.

The railway station is classified as a Grade I Heritage Building, which puts it on the same list as CSMT, the Western Railway headquarters, Mumbai Central, Byculla Railway Station, and Bandra Railway Station, but unlike those railway stations, which are well preserved and accessible to the public (apart from certain offices), Reay Road Station has been left to rot -- an adjacent, newly redeveloped opened in 2025 was misaligned, blocking entry and exit access to the station and ticketing office and rendering the building unusable since its construction began in 2022.

Sharing our spaces with wildlife is not always as simple as it sounds. The reality is that the human world is not perfectly designed with wildlife in mind. Everyday objects and activities can sometimes create unexpected hazards for the animals that live alongside us. Knowing what those hazards are and, just as importantly, knowing what to do when wildlife needs help can make all the difference.

At the end of August, staff at Erie Day School discovered a female Great Horned Owl entangled in a soccer net. Great Horned Owls often hunt for prey in open fields, and when they are flying at night in pursuit of prey, they may not see soccer nets in their path.

Thankfully, the school staff recognized that the owl was in trouble, knew to contact Tamarack Wildlife Center, and arranged for her admission.

Upon arrival, the owl received a full examination, including X-rays. Fortunately, there were no broken bones or serious injuries to her body. However, hitting a net headfirst at a high rate of speed can cause a concussion, and the owl was showing signs of traumatic brain injury. She would need rest, time, and medication to recover.

During her rehabilitation, she received daily anti- inflammatory and pain-relieving medication. She was an exceptionally spirited patient, showing a strong drive to return to the wild as soon as possible.

Once her course of medication was complete and she demonstrated physical fitness, she received a final pre- release examination. With rehabilitation successful, she was ready to return to her home in the wild.

Incidents like this remind us that sharing our communities with wildlife sometimes means being prepared for the unexpected. Knowing what to do and who to contact when a wild animal is in trouble can make all the difference for patients like this owl.

Hey there! Allow me to show you another of my builds, again from 30 Minutes Fantasy. This time is a bit of a custow build: Liber Gladiator armor with the body from Rozan Wizard. My objective was to do a bit of training with the feminization of the models (seeing as how, as of now, all 30MF kits are very much male-code), following the instructions from Narisawa_Ya.

For the colour, I went with a black metallic base with a gold coating for a dark gold effect, and white gold for the accents.

Armor base: Metallic black (Tamiya TS-40) Armor coating: Prost's Goro ゴールドパール Accent base: Champagne gold (TS-75) Weapon color: Gold (TS-21)

Democratic US Sen. John Fetterman joined nearly every Republican senator on Tuesday in voting against a resolution that would have required the Trump administration to produce an unclassified report on Israeli abuses in the illegally occupied West Bank, including the imprisonment and killing of Palestinian Americans.

The resolution, led by Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.), narrowly failed 47-51, with Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) joining every Democrat except Fetterman in supporting the measure. Van Hollen and other supporters of the resolution lamented the failed vote but celebrated the historic support it received as public opposition to Israeli atrocities—and US funding of Israel's military—continues to grow.

"Tonight, 47 senators supported my resolution to get accountability for the nine Americans killed on the West Bank and for Palestinians who face injustices daily," Van Hollen wrote in a social media post. "That's more support than we've ever had in this fight. Republicans blocked us, but we won't stop until we get justice."

In 2024, just 11 senators—all members of the Democratic caucus except Paul—backed a similar resolution led by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.).

"Listen to the American people: NO MORE MILITARY AID TO ISRAEL," Sanders wrote in response to Tuesday's vote.

If passed, Van Hollen's resolution would have required the US State Department to issue a report within 30 days on Israeli human rights practices in the West Bank, where Palestinians have faced a historic level of violence by Israeli settlers and soldiers this year.

The resolution, which invoked Section 502B(c) of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, specifically called on the Trump administration to provide "all credible information of which the Department of State is aware concerning the alleged killing of United States citizens by the Israel Defense Forces, other Israeli security forces, or Israeli settlers since January 1, 2022," as well as "an assessment on any United States citizens currently held in Israeli prisons."

Under the Foreign Assistance Act, a failure to produce the required report would have resulted in a freeze on some US military assistance to Israel.

Josh Ruebner, policy director at the IMEU Policy Project, said that while the resolution "narrowly failed" due to near-unanimous Republican opposition, "make no mistake: this is historic."

The resolution's text highlights the case of Sama Safi, a 20-year-old Palestinian American student with a chronic health condition who was abducted by Israeli forces during a West Bank raid in June and has reportedly been detained without charge for months.

On Tuesday morning, Zeteo highlighted the case of Abdalkareem Issa Ahmed Safi, "an American teenager with Texas roots" whom Israeli forces snatched "from his family’s West Bank home in the middle of the night" in late June. Zeteo noted that he is the third young American known to be "languishing in Israeli prison."

"Only one Republican voted to even somewhat hold Israel accountable for acts like this," Zeteo's Prem Thakker wrote late Tuesday.

The previous two DLCs the game received were really fun and both got 86% positive rating so my hopes are high for this one

don't really know much about it but i like it

From Robert Arellano

The Spectacled Owl (Pulsatrix perspicillata) is one of my favorite owls in Costa Rica. I don't get to see owls very often, mostly because I'm terrible at spotting them, so whenever I get the chance to see one it feels pretty special. (Fun fact: this is only the second owl I've ever seen in my life, and the first owl I've posted)

These are large, powerful owls with dark brown heads and white markings around their eyes, which gives them their "spectacled" name. And, like many owls, he was giving me that intense death stare
