QFI should resign

[Nida Usman Ch @NidaUsmanCh]

QFI is to PTI was Saqib Nisar was to PMLN - none can be cheered and none of this is ok. Wasn't then, isn't now!

[Ibrahim Batla @Chailoverrr]

Salman Akram Raja, Jibran Nasir and Cyril are the only prominent and principled liberals in PK. Everyone else, including Reema Omer, Shehzad Ghias, the dawn reading patwari lawyers are just a bunch of idiots consumed by their hate of Imran Khan.

[Syed Muzamil Hasan Zaidi @hoflolz]

Since last year liberal commentators have constantly enabled this facism. They talked us down & called us youthia when we only tried to warn of whats to come. These people r now switching & acting appalled at the current state of injustice. Hope public remembers these charlatans.

[Ibrahim Batla @Chailoverrr]

Really don't understand why people in power never do the right thing. Even if you're selfish, are you not worried about your legacy?

[Ibrahim Batla @Chailoverrr]

@KTnotkatiee mashal is happier

[Ibrahim Batla @Chailoverrr]

@EzzaSyed ?

Suffering: the delta between reality and your desire

[Andy Levin @Andy_Levin]

For the past several months, I’ve been deeply concerned about Israel’s war in Gaza, thinking about what I can say or do, as an American, as a Jew, as a former Congressman. But one thing is crystal clear: the war must end.

[Ibrahim Batla @Chailoverrr]

i like it. Not a banger, but glad they made the colab.

Why is it always companies with a $300k base salary interviewing you off of an emailed CV or tweet vs companies with a $90k base salary requesting a 6000 word essay, video recorded Q&As, a blood sample, cover letter, and 9 rounds of interviews.

[Ibrahim Batla @Chailoverrr]

@umerijazgilani Bernie is mistaken, there is nothing wrong with this. The American people own the said firms. And one of these primarily consists of middle class backers.

[Ibrahim Batla @Chailoverrr]

Off-shoring software services doesn’t work like people think it would. Desi people are slower, take ages to ship, and in the end you only save 10-30%. There’s a whole Bain report on this.

[Chamath Palihapitiya @chamath]

I’m starting an incubator. Funded entirely by me. It’s called 8090.

Tell us what enterprise software you use and my team and I will build you an 80% feature complete version at a 90% discount.

We are using AI and offshoring to make this happen.

[Ibrahim Batla @Chailoverrr]

@umerijazgilani Way to miss the forest for the trees.

[Ibrahim Batla @Chailoverrr]

@MusadaqZ @sophiaahmed Agreed, also lack of capital is not the issue when it comes to our ecosystem.

[Ibrahim Batla @Chailoverrr]

America's a strange country. You can criticise American foreign policy, but if he were to call out Israel, he'd instantly be branded as...

[David Sacks @DavidSacks]

We can’t even enforce the Monroe Doctrine anymore but we’re messing around in Russia’s backyard like we own the place.

[Ibrahim Batla @Chailoverrr]

@ZahidLilani Yeah the whole thing would’ve been better if the govt just became an LP

[Ibrahim Batla @Chailoverrr]

This is actually not a bad model. Altho, something about it bothers me. Not sure what.

[Umar Saif @umarsaif]

Today we launched the Pakistan Startup Fund (PSF) which will invest up to Rs 2 Billion every year in Pakistani startups. The fund is structured as an equity-free capital to help close a VC round for a startup. PSF is designed to help a startup raise its first external investment.

If you are a startup in Pakistan and a foreign VC is evaluating your startup for a $1 million investment, the VC only needs to invest $700k — the Pakistan Startup Fund will give you a grant of $300k to help close the round. We won’t take any equity/shares in your startup or a board position etc. PSF is designed to lower the risk for international investors to invest in Pakistani startups; once we have written you a cheque, we won’t hassle you at all .. betting on you and your VC investors to drive your success.

With PSF we hope to create a value of at least Rs 50 Billion per year in the startup ecosystem in Pakistan.

Idk why desi people don’t eat like desi people in desi restaurants. Dip the damn roti in the salan man, how ashamed do u have to be of ur own culture.

[Dan Sheehan @danpjsheehan]

The number of children killed in Gaza since Oct 7 is now higher than the entire death toll of the Siege of Sarajevo, which lasted nearly four years.

[Ibrahim Batla @Chailoverrr]

I'm not for nepotism, but may be a better cap than Babar. Altho, too early to say.

[Ezza @EzzaSyed]

Honestly if shan was the captain in our home series we would have definitely won (aag lagadi)
