Just heard somebody at office say they chose their new apartment because the new metro route goes by and that’s kind of the point of good public transportation.
More of this please.
Kudos to @nuuuwan for an amazing map!

Typing Sinhala on a Mac still feels more complicated than it probably should. Different people have learned different ways to type Sinhala, and changing tools can often mean changing those habits too.

Sri Lanka is set to introduce Mobile Number Portability (MNP) by the end of September, allowing users to switch mobile service providers without changing their phone numbers.
Deputy Minister of Digital Economy Eranga Weeraratne said the TRCSL will proceed under the Sri Lanka Telecommunication Act, with the government prepared to implement mobile portability first to ensure millions of subscribers are not delayed by issues affecting fixed-line services.
The long-awaited initiative has been in development since 2020, with legal clearance granted in 2023 for telecom operators to roll out the system.

Sri Lanka Set to Pioneer South Asia’s First Passenger Drone Service 🚁
✈️ The Civil Aviation Authority is launching a pilot project for passenger-carrying drones, expected before the end of 2026.
🌏 This will mark the first initiative of its kind in South Asia under Advanced Air Mobility solutions.
🛫 Manned electric aerial vehicles will operate at 400-500 feet altitude, and will support passenger transport, cargo delivery, emergency medical services, and access to remote areas.
🏞️ Huge tourism boost anticipated with scenic flights over hills, coasts, and whale-watching spots.
💰 Expected to offer low-cost, eco-friendly travel while creating new economic opportunities.
🤝 Implementation via public-private partnerships with international experts arriving soon for final preparations.
Lionel Messi, one of soccer’s wealthiest and most famous stars, has become the subject of conspiracy theories from some World Cup watchers who accuse FIFA of displaying favoritism toward him and the Argentine team.

A positive step from Sri Lanka. 🇱🇰
The government has allocated Rs. 800 million to introduce the Wolbachia method to help reduce dengue and other diseases spread by mosquitoes.
So, what is it?
Wolbachia is a naturally occurring bacteria that already exists in many insects. When it is introduced into the mosquitoes that spread dengue, it makes it much harder for the dengue virus to survive inside them. As a result, those mosquitoes are much less likely to pass the disease to people.
This method was first developed by researchers at Monash University in Australia and is now used through the World Mosquito Program. Countries such as Australia, Indonesia, Brazil, Colombia, Vietnam, Fiji, Kiribati, Vanuatu, Honduras and El Salvador have already introduced it, with more countries joining the programme.
One of the largest studies in Indonesia found a 77% reduction in dengue cases and an 86% reduction in hospital admissions caused by dengue after the method was introduced.
As someone working in sustainability, I will also admit something. I do not know enough about the long term impact on the ecosystem to give an informed opinion. And I think that is perfectly fine. Social media often makes people feel they need to have an opinion on everything, but I would rather be honest about what I do not know than pretend to be an expert.
If Sri Lanka sees results similar to those achieved in other countries, this could make a real difference in protecting communities from dengue.

#LionelMessi made history, but not without controversy.
An ignored foul, a possible Lautaro red and no VAR review have fans asking a familiar question:
Does FIFA have a soft spot for Argentina? 👀

How can anyone still support this Israeli govt when psychopathic monsters like Ben Gvir are ministers in it, advocating genocide in Lebanon? Disgusting.
Got called into a medical ward to see a patient & it’s honestly heartbreaking.
The wards are overflowing with dengue patients who need very close monitoring & many of our doctors & nurses hv been doing back to back 24-hour shifts.
Some days it feels like labour laws don’t quite apply to healthcare workers.
From @TheAthleticFC: As brilliant as Lionel Messi is, there have been a few occasions when opponents have suggested that he has received “special treatment” from referees. This was the case against Algeria — should Messi have been sent off? https://t.co/kOp8eW87ag

While I’m delighted to see Trump & Netanyahu clashing over Iran & Trump criticizing Israel, let’s not do the ‘this time it’s over!’ nonsense. I’m old enough to remember multiple fallings out & rapprochements between Trump & Bibi over past decade. Plus Trump is insanely erratic.
Israel's total GDP is $540 billion. Iran's heavily sanctioned rump economy is $437 billion
An unsanctioned and reconstructed Iran will be many times more economically & strategically important to the world than Israel
This is why Israel finds a deal intolerable
