Subscribe to Mamamia This week, a deadly air strike in Rafah in southern Gaza killed at least 45 Palestinians and wounded dozens of others. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has referred to what happened as a “tragic mishap”, and yet, emerging reports indicate that such an attack has happened again. We discuss the recent horrors of what happened and the world's response. And, a woman who ran a half-marathon has gone viral, after her husband ushered their kids into her path just as she was about to win. We unpack how wrong the internet's reaction was and why it reminds us a little of Taylor Swift.  Plus, Generation Alpha have officially entered the chat and everything’s "skibidi toilet". Confused? Don't worry, we explain.
