[The Express Tribune @etribune]

Pakistan suffered a devastating flood season last year, prompting massive state compensation. While the compassion behind this response is unquestionable, the way relief is structured may unintentionally deepen long-term vulnerabilities.

There is an escape route for Labour from certain disaster at the general election: use their Commons majority to ram through PR. It’s cynical, + they’d never govern alone again, but it locks Reform out of No10. The left (Lab, Gr, LD) still have a majority over the right in the UK

Liberal economists had hoped that the current Gulf crisis might have forced Pakistan to confront its structural problems. Yet once again the country’s geopolitical value has provided an escape route https://t.co/9R4y64Pwei

عدد المسحوبة جناسيهم في الكويت وصل ٧٠ ألف
إذا أضفنا أعداد المسحوبة منهم بالتبعية، فالرقم تقريبا بيكون ٣٠٠ ألف.
عدد مواطني الكويت مليون ونص

يعني ٢٠٪ سحبت جناسيهم.

من كل ٥ أشخاص في الكويت، فيه واحد سحبت جنسيته.

هذا أكبر تغيير ديمغرافي بالعالم بدون حرب.

Carney is worth listening to, even if you disagree with him.

[Scott Robertson @sarobertson_]

PM Carney: "The world's changing. Not gradually, but suddenly. Yes, some are still in denial. Rather than starting on this journey, they're waiting for the past to return. But hope is not a plan and nostalgia is not a strategy."

The expected vs. actual exchange of roles between Pakistan and India in international conflict mediation is becoming more and more surreal to witness.

Ignore GB news. Ignore Twitter.

Britain is full of good, kind people who want to build a better kinder world.

Today showed that.

[Stefan Schubert @StefanFSchubert]

While social media is polarising, evidence suggests AI may nudge people towards the centre.

This holds true of all studied models. Grok is more right-leaning than other models, but also has depolarising effects.

This reflects the state of far-right politics in the United States. Utterly shameful.

If they force us to choose, the choice between dogs and Muslims is not a difficult one.

@RepFine This reflects the state of far-right politics in the United States. Utterly shameful.
