Learning the hard way. A keen observer of nothing!!

Perspective is everything.

This 1986 ad screened by The Guardian changed how we view things with its shocking visual of a 'skinhead' seemingly taking a man's briefcase.

But it's only when you enlarge your view, that you see the full picture.

[GRANDPA’s FREE ADVICE @GOP_is_Gutless]

A woman awakes during the night to find that her husband is not in bed. She puts on her robe and goes downstairs to look for him. She finds him sitting at the kitchen table with a hot cup of coffee in front of him. He appears to be in deep thought, just staring at the wall. She watches as he wipes a tear from his eye and takes a sip of his coffee. ☕️

'What's the matter, dear' she whispers as she steps into the room, 'Why are you down here at this time of night?

The husband looks up from his coffee, 'It's the 20th Anniversary of the day we met'.

She can't believe he has remembered and starts to tear up.

The husband continues, 'Do you remember 20 years ago when we started dating, I was 18 and you were only 16,' he says solemnly.

Once again, the wife is touched to tears. 'Yes, I do' she replies.

The husband pauses The words were not coming easily. 'Do you remember when your father caught us in the back seat of my car'

'Yes, I remember' said the wife, lowering herself into the chair beside him.

The husband continued. 'Do you remember when he shoved the shotgun in my face and said, "Either you marry my daughter or I will send you to prison for 20 years'

'I remember that, too' she replied softly.

He wiped another tear from his cheek and said "I would have gotten out today."

I saw a lot of posts on Reddit about people who want to go to Hunza on a budget so I'm gonna create a comprehensive guide with cost breakdown and everything🧵:

لا يضيع مع الدعاء أحد…

فإمّا عطاءٌ يُدهشك،

أو صرفٌ يَحميك،

أو تأخيرٌ يُربّيك،

وفي كلّها… أنت محفوظ بعين الله.

As a brother of Wg Cdr Nauman Akram Shaheed who lost his life in a crash, I second this. Last thing anyone should do is to celebrate a professional soldier’s death in an unfortunate incident.

Condolences to the pilot’s family. I know it wont be easy for them.

[Pakistan Strategic Forum @ForumStrategic]

Pakistan Strategic Forum on the behalf of whole nation offers sincere deep condolences to the Indian Air Force & to the family of the pilot of the Indian Air Force HAL LCA Tejas that crashed today at the Dubai Air Show 2025.

Unfortunately the IAF pilot wasn't able to eject & hasn't survived the crash.

Our rivalry belongs to the skies ONLY, & as per the teachings of Quran & Sunnah we do not celebrate any unfortunate incident.

Over to the skies & beyond, RIP BRAVE HEART 🦅 🇮🇳

I saw a post by someone on her migraines.

For those suffering from migraine headaches, here is my personal experience and advice after battling debilitating migraines for 30 years.

I consulted some of the world’s top clinics, including the Headache Center at the University of Pennsylvania (USA) but nothing helped long-term. Ironically, I was cured accidentally.

I first noticed that dried figs slightly reduced the intensity of my migraines likely due to their magnesium content.

The real breakthrough came when I was diagnosed with high blood pressure and prescribed a calcium channel blocker (Norvasc).

My migraines disappeared instantly and never returned.

What I Learned:
- Migraines are linked to vasodilation, the widening of blood vessels in the head.
- Magnesium helps stabilize blood vessels and prevent this.
- Calcium channel blockers, usually for blood pressure, regulate calcium in vessel walls and may prevent migraines in some people.

Common Triggers:
- Hunger or skipping meals
- Irregular sleep
- Sunlight
- Vigorous exercise
- Sex
- Menstrual cycles
- Certain foods like dark chocolate

What Helps:
- Magnesium supplements– may reduce frequency/intensity
- Calcium channel blockers– effective in some patients

- Tricyclic antidepressants – useful in chronic cases
- Beta blockers (e.g., Inderal) – sometimes effective
- Vasoconstrictors (e.g., Zomig) – abortive relief (avoid in heart conditions)
- Cold compresses – help by constricting blood vessels

Final Note:
Never self-medicate. Always consult a doctor before starting any treatment.

Migraines vary widely between individuals, and understanding your personal triggers is key to managing and preventing them.

I woke up this morning to see a video of a healthcare worker colleague in Gaza be shot in the head while working in the hospital. Shot in the head by the Israeli military. While working in the hospital. Israel continues to target healthcare workers with impunity. Fuck this world.

[Houssein Djirdeh @hdjirdeh]

I really admired Vercel, truly. For years, I contributed to Next.js, spoke at their conferences, and made friends with so many people on their team. I even seriously considered working there.

Well, things have changed. Here’s a list of resources to help you migrate away:

When I first spoke out about the genocide, I was one of the few voices in tech, and it came at a cost.

I faced sabotage especially from the VC class: lies, leaks, threats, and blocked investments.

It was painful, but I never once regretted standing up for the children in Gaza.

Today, the tide in tech has shifted. The truth is undeniable.

If you’ve been holding back, now is the time to speak out and call out anyone supporting or celebrating genocide. It won’t cost you much—in fact, it will earn you respect, and more importantly a clear conscious. Plus, alienating those who will hate you for speaking is a feature, not a bug.

[Habibullah Khan @Huk06]

It has begun. Israel the most irresponsible rogue nation on the planet just attacked Pakistan in its usually cowardly fashion.

Israeli drone attacked Pakistani LPG tanker docked at Yemeni port with 24 Pakistani onboard. The tanker is now sailing home. This is classic Israeli provocation and part of their constantly stress the enemy strategy. They are also signalling to Pakistan that they can hit our energy supplies. That’s a direct national security threat.

But unlike the women and kids they’re used to killing they’ll find this nation far more defiant and innovative and full of resolve.

I am so sorry we failed you.

We do not deserve to be forgiven.

Calling Bullshit is not an ordinary book, it gives us a perspective other than the ordinary. If statistics and data are not giving you results, and you’re done with power-point warriors. Do read a book that will back your skepticism. I read the book recently, thought of sharing it will all of you.
