China regularly executes corrupt bureaucrats and politicians. India needs to do it if they want to narrow the gap.

[Jacob Shell @JacobAShell]

Some repliers are claiming India's development trajectory is just "China 15 yrs ago." India in 2026 is ranked 147th in GDP/capita. The last time China was ranked so low was 1997. Not a perfect signal, but on whole fair to say that India is where China was 30 years ago, not 15.

90% of Indian bureaucrats would be wiped out on day 1.

Graham Platner’s history of sexual assault proves he does not belong in the US Senate. He belongs on the Supreme Court.

I had asked the question about delayed VAR impact a few days ago and still remain of the view that the Egypt goal being disallowed was a travesty. Egypt will feel cheated and are right in feeling so.

I remember lying on a beach in California about 4 days into my first trip to America, and five 30-somethings were batting a volleyball around. I can't remember the exact wording, but it was something like:

"I'm really no good at volleyball."
"Ohmigod, Shauna. You're great!"
"Thanks Bryce! Appreciate you!"
"Brad, that's awesome!"
"Yay, this is fun!"

When this went on for five minutes and nobody had called someone a useless cunt or tried to smash the ball into their best mate's face, I realised there really is a vast gulf between our cultures.

A film isn’t a history textbook. It tells a story through one lens and one perspective. Debate it. Critique it. Counter it. Banning it is always counter productive.

But don’t assume Punjab’s hard-won rejection of separatism is so fragile that a film can reverse it!!

A lot to like w/ the USMNT. They were fun to watch in this World Cup, and they will build on it. Great group of guys.

Belgium is a Top 10 team. This loss was inevitable.

Tonight was also a karmic reset. US Soccer, Trump and Infantino cheated in allowing Balogun to play. The red card was wrong, but that’s sports.

So, this was the best outcome. Hopefully, the USMNT gets better, Infantino doesn’t survive the deserved backlash, and he is forced to resign.

I'd be much happier if the Prime Minister prioritized tackling rampant corruption and incompetence at the top levels of government instead of traveling abroad to receive awards.

Portugal's best player ever was an African from Mozambique. Eusebio: long legs, dangling arms, sad eyes.

[Pharmdca @Pharmdca]

Sir Alex Ferguson “Portugal had never won a single major trophy in its entire history… until a boy from Madeira, born on the 5th of February 1985, changed everything. When young players ask me what greatness looks like, I don’t point to medals first. I point to commitment. I point to sacrifice. I point to Cristiano Ronaldo. Because that’s what true greatness is.”

In 2026, less than 4% of its revenue was projected to be in non-CF drugs.

[Vineeta Agarwala @vintweeta]

Wow, largest acquisition for @VertexPharma ever, and the company now operates *commercially* in 5 TAs

CF (Trikafta, Alyftrek; built in-house)
Heme (CASGEVY via @CRISPRTX partnership)
Pain (JOURNAVX; built in-house)
Renal (povetacicept; via Alpine acquisition)
Endocrine (Palsonify via @Crinetics acquisition)

Until 2023, 100% of the company's revenues were in CF!

[Pearl Freier @PearlF]

Novartis's Chief Strategy & Growth Officer Ronny Gal posted on Linked In about the Myricx Bio acquisition $NVS: "by using a different mechanism, its NMTi payload may support improved sequencing and help address resistance to existing ADC approaches."

[Will Truman @trumwill]

This is the correct approach.

Europe: “America has no soccer culture”

America: *does a wildly corrupt thing with the president of fifa*

Europe: no not like that
