@NewsWireLK And yet we still allow Private and SLTB buses to do ridiculous stunts such as races, violate traffic law, and drive under the influence of narcotics which ALSO include Betel leaves and Areca nuts.. @SL_PoliceMedia instead of going after high cap. bikes, go after these lunatics.

@NewsWireLK Negligently? There’s a double line, it’s an illegal overtake.

The double lines are there for a reason. A man lost his life. A son lost his father. Son is injured heavily. The son may never walk again in his life.

Driver should be jailed for life.

@xtr0d3m0n @NewsWireLK You do realize that no one is forcing us to use oil and coal for power generation?

When other countries have been moving away from oil, we have only made a very minimal effort for renewables.

@JDavishka @NewsWireLK Just to be clear, the government should try to find a way to help short and long term. But this is fuel subsidy option is a bad one

[Sameer Basil @SameerBMH]

@JDavishka @NewsWireLK Subsidizing the fuel is not actually helping. It costs the government to pay the difference.
This expense will drain reserves. If fuel is expensive, it is expensive, there's not really a way to magically make it cheaper unless they find cheaper suppliers.

I uninstalled Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn back in December, I feel like it was a good thing.

And now I’m going to uninstall all social media including X and Tiktok.

Not sure what to do with my phone anymore

@Cernovich Here is the probable cause in the affidavit justifying the FBI raid of my home, signed by a Magistrate Judge — every single word is still redacted to this day. EVERY SINGLE WORD.

Children of Dune has been the most enjoyable read in the series so far.

Might as well be one of the best pieces of sci-fi fiction I have ever read.

10/10 would recommend

Clearly a lot going on in the world right now

Accidentally dropped a glass bottle that I’ve been using for the past 2 years.

Breaking something glass or ceramic feels strange, because it could’ve lasted forever, until this mistake that you did

Stupidity is far more forgivable than maliciousness
