Immovable object, irresistible force
In 1998 at Trent Bridge, Mike Atherton faced Allan Donald in a brutal showdown.
Donald bowled relentlessly and nearly had Atherton caught for 27, but a dropped chance from Mark Boucher kept him alive.
Furious, Donald hurled everything at Atherton, but couldn’t break him - Atherton ended unbeaten on 98 as England squared the series.
In 2019, MIT professor Patrick Winston gave a legendary 1-hour lecture called “How to Speak.”
It has 18M+ views for a reason.
His frameworks:
• Your ideas are like your children
• The 5-minute rule for job talks
• Why jokes fail at the start

In this scene in the Godfather II, Frankie Pentangeli is about to testify against the Corleones in a Senate hearing.
He is buoyant, basking in the attention, until he sees his brother from Sicily walk in. His brother gives him a disapproving look.
In that moment he realizes that to testify against the Corleone would mean going against his own family as well, which is a bridge too far.
He realizes that his deal with the government is done, and that he is most certainly a dead man.
He accepts it with grace and does what he needs to do.
At the end of the scene, Tom leans over to the brother and says “La famiglia è tutto,” or “The family is everything.”
The family unit is the strongest force in nature. It’s something I don’t want my kids to ever forget.
Happy to see Guardian Long Read pick up my piece on the attempts to vanish Imran Khan for the @Equatormag (https://t.co/KVEJx0gwae) earlier this year.
(Would urge everyone to read beyond the headline.)

Someone just poisoned the Python package that manages AI API keys for NASA, Netflix, Stripe, and NVIDIA.. 97 million downloads a month.. and a simple pip install was enough to steal everything on your machine.
The attacker picked the one package whose entire job is holding every AI credential in the organization in one place. OpenAI keys, Anthropic keys, Google keys, Amazon keys… all routed through one proxy. All compromised at once.
The poisoned version was published straight to PyPI.. no code on GitHub.. no release tag.. no review. Just a file that Python runs automatically on startup. You didn’t need to import it. You didn’t need to call it. The malware fired the second the package existed on your machine.
The attacker vibe coded it… the malware was so sloppy it crashed computers.. used so much RAM a developer noticed their machine dying and investigated. They found LiteLLM had been pulled in through a Cursor MCP plugin they didn’t even know they had.
That crash is the only reason thousands of companies aren’t fully exfiltrated right now. If the code had been cleaner nobody notices for weeks. Maybe months.
The attack chain is the part that gets worse every sentence.
TeamPCP compromised Trivy first. A security scanning tool. On March 19. LiteLLM used Trivy in its own CI pipeline… so the credentials stolen from the SECURITY product were used to hijack the AI product that holds all your other credentials.
Then they hit GitHub Actions. Then Docker Hub. Then npm. Then Open VSX. Five package ecosystems in two weeks. Each breach giving them the credentials to unlock the next one.
The payload was three stages.. harvest every SSH key, cloud token, Kubernetes secret, crypto wallet, and .env file on the machine.. deploy privileged containers across every node in the cluster.. install a persistent backdoor waiting for new instructions.
TeamPCP posted on Telegram after: “Many of your favourite security tools and open-source projects will be targeted in the months to come.. stay tuned.”
Every AI agent, copilot, and internal tool your company shipped this year runs on hundreds of packages exactly like this one… nobody chose to install LiteLLM on that developer’s machine. It came in as a dependency of a dependency of a plugin. One compromised maintainer account turned the entire trust chain into a credential harvesting operation across thousands of production environments in hours.
The companies deploying AI the fastest right now have the least visibility into what’s underneath it.
Pakistanis must know that the scores of National Anthem were written in Waltz by Master of the Band Pakistan Navy "Tollentine Fonseca", a Christian from Karachi
I doubt he listen to all ex cricketer or he may have understanding on the iota of Pakistan’s local cricket ie first class, grade 2, Districts, Zone and clubs
All ex-cricketers who sat on TV talking about "modern cricket" and "strike rates" are now talking about the need for sensible cricket and conventional batting.
Forcing Ahmadis to sign a declaration that they won’t pray or perform ritual slaughter to be seen as ‘moral citizens’ is beyond absurd. This is not just discrimination, it is morally reprehensible.
