Decades of legal advocacy have sought to strengthen protections for women. Regressive jurisprudence is undoing that work. The roll back of hard-won protections for women should concern everyone. Protections that took years to build are being dismantled.

OpenAI boss Sam Altman has declared that AI has reached “the singularity”, the point at which AI outpaces human intelligence and becomes difficult to control.

Here is a closer look at what Altman said and what it means https://t.co/YWIHg7jomX

Usually criticized only in whispers, the strongman leader has suddenly found himself the subject of jokes and taunts, with protesters defacing him on billboards and mocking him in verse, sharing the images online to an audience of millions.

The era of AI billionaires is upon us!

A 26 year old Pakistani, Sualeh, just co-founded a company that SpaceX is reportedly considering buying for $60 billion.

This is a profoundly proud moment for Pakistan, and undeniable proof for our youth that there is no ceiling to what they can achieve.

I met Sualeh in Silicon Valley not long ago, and his brilliance felt incredibly familiar. It’s the exact same clarity of thought you see in young minds all over Pakistan. What MIT provided was access to capital, computing power, and a culture that champions ambitious youth.

The gap between our homegrown talent and the infrastructure we offer them is the most costly issue in Pakistan's economy today. Closing it isn't just about economics; it’s about giving a generation the backing they deserve.

Talent has never been our problem. I’ve seen Pakistani engineers pushing the boundaries of what's possible globally. What we lack is the ecosystem to support them locally.

Sualeh’s story should inspire two things in every young Pakistani: immense pride, and the stubborn conviction that the next $60 billion idea can be built at home.

We don't lack brilliant minds; we lack the right conditions. With the right policy, capital, and leadership that treats our youth as our greatest asset, this is a fully solvable problem.

Pankaj Mishra on the “rupture in historical memory” that has led India to forsake Iran https://t.co/4gPMfO6Tds

[Richard @ricwe123]

An unarmed Iranian ship was invited to take part in an Indian naval exercise alongside the United States.
Its sailors were welcomed on land and paraded before the president as a gesture of cooperation.
Then, at the last moment, the United States abruptly withdrew from the exercise,only to turn around and torpedo the very ship it had just stood beside.

What followed was even more grotesque.
After attacking an unarmed vessel, the US refused to rescue the sailors it had thrown into the sea, abandoning them to drown.
The grim work of recovering bodies was left to the Sri Lankan Navy.

This wasn’t warfare,it was treachery of the most disgraceful kind: an ambush carried out under the pretense of diplomacy, followed by a cold refusal to show even the most basic human decency to the dying.
It would represent a collapse of every norm that supposedly governs civilized conduct at sea.

And yet, instead of outrage, much of the American media response has been indifference or rationalization.
The bombing of a girls’ school is brushed aside; talk of carpet-bombing Tehran is floated as if it were just another policy option.
When atrocities are normalized and cruelty is laundered into “strategy,” the line between reporting and complicity begins to disappear.

Every media outlet covering US-Israel war on #Iran should lead with this story: That war started on a Saturday morning at an all-girl elementary school in the small town of Minab in southern Iran, killing 180 and injuring 95, mostly girls aged 7-12.

But for those who’ve ever asked “What did I do wrong?”—Kafka might already be writing your story.

[Aruba Adil @Arubaadil]

Who Was Kafka? Why Should You Care?

Franz Kafka didn’t just write stories—he wrote the anxious mind.

He died young at 40, barely published in his lifetime, yet he redefined modern literature.

[Aruba Adil @Arubaadil]

His fiction isn’t just about broken systems—it’s about what they do to your head.

The Trial reads like a bureaucratic nightmare and an inner monologue at the same time.

It’s not always easy. His stories spiral. His characters fade. His melancholy? Not for everyone.

Pakistan and India - a ceasefire that almost didn't happen

[Ishaq Dar @MIshaqDar50]

Pakistan and India have agreed to a ceasefire with immediate effect. Pakistan has always strived for peace and security in the region, without compromising on its sovereignty and territorial integrity!

[fatima bhutto 🇵🇸🇱🇧🇮🇷 @fbhutto]

Praying for a ceasefire. Then arms embargo, sanctions and accountability and justice.
