Out now: a new Himal Southasian investigation by Erin L Thompson on how Mary Slusser, a renowned American scholar celebrated as an expert on Nepal's cultural heritage spent years illicitly buying sacred Nepali artefacts and smuggling them out to the United States.
Across the Kathmandu Valley, empty pedestals and niches still mark the spots where stolen gods once stood. This investigation traces the paper trail behind one of the largest undocumented removals of sacred art from Nepal and adds crucial evidence to the ongoing global movement to recover the region's stolen heritage.

This model represents a step-function improvement on many benchmarks, and its training is ongoing.
Our internal model group arrived at the Navier–Stokes solution in 88 hours, using around 10,000 coordinating AI agents.
Throughout the effort, we maintained the strict safeguards—including monitoring and isolation—that we apply to all our frontier evaluations.
I watched my village disappear in an instant
In the devastating floods that severed an entire district from the rest of Nepal, one The Kathmandu Post journalist witnessed his childhood village disappear — through fragments of video, and phone calls that stopped connecting.

Que te voy a decir ídolo, nos hiciste creer a todos que era posible una vez más. Con 39 años fuiste el mejor jugador de la Copa del Mundo. Nos diste todo, nos hiciste volver a ilusionarnos y nos diste lo mejor durante 20 años. Si este fue el último baile, gracias por todo Lionel.
the whole "rigged for Argentina" online discourse is a great case study on how the general population is frighteningly easy to manipulate with simple propaganda. and how it's especially effective on the less educated, or "casuals"/"larpers"
आफ्नो बच्चा भएपो थाह पाउथिस भन्दै आएका प्रम छन्,उनको बच्चा पनि छन तर अरुका बच्चामाथिको तथाकथित व्यबस्थापनको नाममा भएको राज्य ज्यादती/अपराध चै'बहादुरी'लाग्दैछ
समर्थकलाई आँसु व्यापार लाग्ने नै भयो यस्ता कुरा।

The genius of Balen is baffling, why do you want to remove the sukumbasi because they occupy river banks and it floods. Ok, so where do you shift them?? To an occupied river bank where it floods.
@SulavKarki Very true, people should stop politicising and address the real issue, but the hypocrisy is Balen politicised everything, from prem aacharyas death to some random traffic stopping his wifes vehicle, so if you dont like overpoliticization how did you end up shilling for him.
@StayVigilant_@yadavrranjan777 This actually has balens fingerprint allover it, he may not be in KMC now but the nagar police is acting this way because he emboldened them, under him they treated street vendors as if they were criminals, his popularity shielded all criticism against the abuse.
अनि शरीरमा पेट्रोल छर्केर अस्पतालमा छट्पटाइ रहेका मुगुका गणेश नेपालीको बारेमा कोई बोल्यो ? त्यो ज्याकी स्राफ स्टाइलले हिड्ने अनि गेट अप गर्ने माननीय बोले ? रातोपुलबाट हाम फालेर मर्त्युबरण गर्न बाध्य महिलाका बारेमा हरियो निलो रातो पहेलो साडी लगाएर महिला अधिकार देखी दुनिया अधिकारको डिङ्ग हाक्ने सफेदपोस महिला नेत्रीहरुको बाणी फुट्यो ? बोल्न र समबेदना देखाउन र बाणी फुट्न के मान्छे कांग्रेस एमाले माओबादीकै पालोमा मर्न पर्ने हो ?
defending the indefensible, PMs palpable immaturity and naivety don't need to be defended this hard, we neednt conflate the Kalapani issue and cross-holding issue, the UK comment was equally stupid, the UK is neither capable of nor should be invited to mediate these issues.
People who got to get the word , cross holding of properties and occupation first time in life are teaching us the boundary dispute. What a shame ! Dude we have been following this since two decades. Don't make a mockery of word and jargon ! Get the right word on time !
