Joyland, Saim Sadiq's 2022 effort based in inner-city Lahore, doesn’t lecture on patriarchy, rather forcing you to live inside its soft violence. It insists on the intimacy of consequences: mood, shame, and what they do to a life.

Exactly a decade since a birthday stopover at Lahore, an ode to Nawaz Sharif’s stubborn faith in having breakfast in Bagram, lunch in Lahore, and dinner in Delhi, and a Pakistan wide enough to hold all its citizens on his 76th.

Trump’s world is divided into killers and suckers; this is the story of the fixer who taught him, the mayor who impressed him and the tech king who did not.

The 27th Amendment writes real power into the Constitution, pulling it from the shadows into structure and scrutiny, ending critics' comfortable lies stating that Pakistan’s central command stands entirely outside the law.

To many Desis, Mamdani understands what few do—the weight of remittances, undocumented life, and racial surveillance. His politics aren’t symbolic. They are lived. That’s why The Thursday Times is endorsing Zohran for Mayor of New York.

Benazir Bhutto was not flawless. That would have made her forgettable. She was urgent. She was unfinished. One must understand that perfect leaders are inventions. She was real—painfully, beautifully real—and that is why she mattered.

Our work at The Thursday Times is paying off. We’ve been blocked by the Indian government for doing what we do best: exposing corruption cloaked in nationalism.

[The Thursday Times @thursday_times]

The Thursday Times has been blocked in India — a clear sign we're doing our job.

In a little over five years, we’ve done what state-backed media won’t dare: name names, question power, and drag buried truths into the light. We’ve exposed what others won’t touch — from corruption cloaked in nationalism to the quiet dismantling of democracy. That’s why we’ve been silenced. Not because we lied. But because we didn’t.

This isn’t just censorship. It’s cowardice disguised as control; a regime so afraid of dissent that it shakes in terror at the media. Make no mistake: blocking us proves only one thing: The Thursday Times is dangerous to those who trade in lies.

You can kill the feed, but not the fire. We will not fold. We will not soften. We will not be told what stories to tell. And if speaking the truth is a crime, we’ll do it louder.

This is more than journalism. It’s resistance.

India freed itself from Britain only to be recolonised in Narendra Modi's saffron. Under his watch, textbooks have been rewritten, history sanitised, minorities demonised, the media brainwashed, and a billion people convinced this is all progress.

India's Sikhs will never know how much Pakistan loves them.

Khalistan, a notion which began for Pakistan as a foreign policy tool, evolved into a destiny: a belief that Sikhs, like Kashmiris, had been short-changed by India's promise of a secular fabric.

🚨BREAKING🚨 Pakistan has just attacked Delhi, leaving many parts of the city in ruins.

Just kidding, this is how Delhi looks everyday.
