Staggering to realize that Sri Lanka could’ve been one of the wealthiest countries in the world today had our politicians played our cards right after independence.

Migration-driven entropy keeps reducing more numbers from the closest friend groups, all of them qualified STEM professionals.
While organizing their farewells, others also inquire & hint at their own migration plans which are at various stages of completion.
Genuinely wonder when the brain drain is going to hit a critical mass.

Whatever one's political affiliation, let's not kid ourselves because a majority of young professionals understandably don't have *any* faith in the parties or candidates who've come forward so far.

While it may have slowed, IMO, LK's talent migration is still very real & continuing due to an uncertain future.

What can you do with LKR 25 Million or less to win Muslim support?

1. Start a fund to pay compensation for COVID cremation victims.
2. Stop helping Israel.
3. Start a fund to pay compensation for Muslims wrongly arrested after Easter Sunday.
4. Justice for Easter Sunday.

Children are starving in Gaza. Instead of opening up the borders and allowing humanitarian aid to come in, Israeli soldiers are shooting people who are desperately trying to get food off of trucks. This must stop. The U.S. cannot continue funding the Netanyahu war machine.

[Tristan Tate @TateTheTalisman]

I suggest you watch the videos of aid packages being dropped into the sea in Gaza.

Hungry men, women and kids swim out to bring them in.

Bombs and munitions are fired, killing some of them.

NO amount of “tHeY aRe TrYiNg To DeFeAt HaMaS” cope works here.

Disgusting.

🇷🇺🇺🇸TUCKER: MOSCOW? Nicer than NYC these days

"By the way, it's radicalizing for an American to go to Moscow, to Singapore, to Tokyo, to Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

Because these cities, no matter how we're told they're run and on what principles they're run, are wonderful places to live that don't have rampant inflation, where you're not going to get raped.”

It's surprising that the whole country can put in dark by a single system error. Isn't this a national level security concern?

"The Constitutional Council is the most important check on the President's powers of appointment to key offices including the judiciary and the Commissions. That is why the 17th,19th and 21st amendments were introduced. It is probably the only way to ensure that the President does not make bad appointments. In the next year several vacancies arise in the Supreme Court including the office of the Chief Justice. Already the IGP's post is technically vacant. Forcing the Constitutional Council to bow to the President's wishes will have disastrous consequences. The President must have respect to Constitutional mechanisms rather than trying to bulldoze them when he is unhappy" Former BASL chief Saliya Peries

Hon. @MASumanthiran debunking the lie that the opposition was given a chance to form a government which they ran away from.

The fact is that RW saw a path to power, betrayed the will of the people & squandered an opportunity for meaningful change.

Set the record straight.

At the end of the day, the greatest privilege of my job is working with people who are driven by mission. These last 5 days, I saw people across OpenAI remaining calm and resolute in driving their mission despite all that was happening around them. And I saw people across Microsoft remain focused on our mission and serving our customers and partners, stepping up to help in every way. This is what I’m especially thankful for going into the Thanksgiving holiday. Thank you for your resolve and for the work you do each day to advance AI safely and responsibly and distribute its benefits to all of humanity.

Shami said "I had swelling in my knee before the 2015 WC - I had 2 options - either directly go for surgery or play the tournament & then go to surgery - while the team would return to hotel after every match - I would go to hospital to take injection, when you play for country, you forget everything".

No. Sorry. They are not “collateral damage” they are human beings who happen to have been born there and live there and most of those human beings are stuck there. Have some compassion, they are Palestinians not buildings or roads or things, they are human beings and so are the hostages whose lives you may also be destroying. They aren’t “collateral damage” either.
