@abbasnasir59 @Shehzad89 @zahirrahimtoola I was also told this yesterday 👍🏽

Hearing reports Babar Azam will be addressing JD Vance by his full name:
Jee Definitely Vance.

[Anjana Sankar @Asankar]

The outcome of the talks in Islamabad could affect the stability of the Middle East, global energy security, and even the safety of millions of Indians who live and work in the Gulf countries.

These talks, if succeed, will essentially save the world from the brink of an economic disaster. It is actually good for India. It is good for the Gulf countries, good for the Middle East, and good for the world.

But Indian media is treating it almost like a cricket match between India and Pakistan. Every development is seen and discussed only through the lense of IndiaPak rivalry. They seem to be almost gloating over the prospect of its failure.

India’s foreign policy success should come from India’s own strength and diplomacy, not from celebrating Pakistan’s failure. Can’t we do it at least in this case??

@ZahidGishkori This is AI manipulation of an actual interview he gave to Rajdeep today in which this was never said

[Raaid Masood @raaidmasood]

@theRealYLH @ShashiTharoor That's not his actual interview, it's AI

This is one of the greatest photos ever taken by a human…so far.

Boomers in 2030: ok, you were right about Iraq and Iran, and frankly everything in between, but this war with Turkey is really necessary

@BlueboyNk That's an unreal lineup 😭😔

one man with a chatbot, and $3,000 just outperformed the entire pharmaceutical discovery pipeline.

we are going to cure so many diseases.
I dont think people realize how good things are going to get

@OliviaBuzaglo Been absolute trash, sorry. A goal here and there doesn't change the fact that his overall output for the full game is almost always inadequate at best and hair-pullingly frustrating at worse.

@charliepatrick0 Just going through the match stats, Brentford outplayed us in EVERY stat barring the one that matters the most - goals. Not complaining. Desperately needed win. UTC 💙

[Raaid Masood @raaidmasood]

@stats_feed This obviously includes non-native speakers as well. Mandarin is still the world's largest natively spoken language, but many people across the world learn English as a second/third language.

[Raaid Masood @raaidmasood]

@Shehzad89 That's true, and it's further backed by pt 13 of Ch Rehmat Ali's 'Now or Never' pamphlet which demanded Pakistan: "This demand is basically different from the suggestion put forward by Doctor Sir Muhammad Iqbal in his Presidential address to the All-India Muslim League in 1930"

@Quote31490249 That's probably the best utilisation of it! Could've been outside Wembley too where he had those original record breaking concerts.
