මගේ එකා පශ්චාත් යුද සමයේ ලමයෙක්. සමහර දවස්වලට ඉස්සර කතා කියද්දී මම ඒකට කියනවා ඉස්සර කොළඹ බෝම්බ පිපිරුවාම අපිට ඉස්කෝලේ නිවාඩු හම්බවුන හැටි. අම්මලා ගාල්ලේ ඉන්දන් බය උන හැටි.
දැන් හෙට ඒකාගේ ජීවිතේ පලවෙනි පාරට බෝම්බ පිපිරුන හින්දා ඉස්කෝලේ යන්නේ නෑ. අපි ආපහු හිටපු තැනටම ඇවිල්ලා. 😔

Every technology company operates under the rules of their country of registration.

There is nothing called an international company.

Open source is the only way to have control over your own digital destiny.

No one had 9000 Test runs until the 1980s.

But once it was breached, it was probably expected that if someone got to 9000, they also reached 10000.

But now, over the past decade and a bit, Graeme Smith, Hashim Amla, Virat Kohli, and Kane Williamson all ended in the 9000s.

Have the guts to name them. It was Barista that was found guilty of keeping products without labels or prices and offering expired food items for sale. This is a court judgment, so you should have the courage to report it as it is.

Even Hitler's Germany did not prevent athletes and officials from entering the country to take part in the 1936 Olympics.

This is pristine racism and @FIFAcom stands disgraced for allowing Trump to disfigure the beautiful game in this way.

Maja Chwalinska has changed her life at this year’s Roland Garros.

Her total career earnings before Roland Garros:

$864,030.

What she’s earned at this tournament:

$1,624,000.

Because the players don’t get the money til after the tournament, she was worried she wouldn’t be able to cover her costs for a hotel as she went further and further in the draw.

Polish company OSHEE had to step in and pay for the rest of her hotel fees.

It’s nothing short of heartwarming to see this happening to such a humble person who has overcome her share of struggles.

She overcame a battle with depression and stopped playing tennis entirely for a period to take care of her mental health.

She wasn’t sure if she’d ever come back to this sport.

Absolutely unreal story. 🥹

Diogo Dalot on his daughter:

“This April, Clara had to spend some time in hospital. They had to take her blood. They put syringes in her skin. She got really traumatised. For a father to see his daughter suffer like that, it’s very difficult. Every time a nurse came into her room, she would rise up in her bed and say, “No, no, no!” The first five days, she wouldn’t allow anyone to touch her except me. If the doctors wanted to take her temperature, I had to do it. It couldn’t even be Claudia [wife]. 

I did not go with the team to train in Ireland. As a father, I wanted to stay at the hospital every single hour of the day.

But every day, I drove into Carrington. I trained for two hours on my own, and then I went back to the hospital. When the team was back from Ireland, I was at training on Saturday. I didn’t know if I would be selected for the game. But I’m playing for United. I had to do my job. I had to know that I had done everything I could to be ready. 

Fortunately, the operation was a success, and after that my daughter only wanted mom mom mom. A week later, she was back home, watching daddy play on the TV. When she watches me, she points to the badge and says, “United! United!”

We raised her right.” ❤️

Michael Jackson had 3,000 dancers auditioning…and he picked HER.
This Sri Lankan Odissi queen brought 2000-year-old temple fire to the “Black or White” video and absolutely cooked MJ on the highway 😤
Nobody talks about this part… but it’s lowkey one of the coldest cultural moments in music history.

Look at her explaining how thrilling it felt . ❤️
