“It’s the first time [anyone] has published a story about Palantir that has a failure narrative. They didn’t get through and they were not good enough for Switzerland … that’s why they’re suing us, they want to fight this narrative.”

@manjushreethapa During COVID, I was stopped bc Nepal required a QR-coded health certificate—only for Nepal embassy to send a letter telling the airline to let me fly without it. I landed… & there wasn’t even a QR scanner.
In Nepal, we issue the rule first & figure out how to make it work later.

Amid Nepal’s Gen Z protests, Kathmandu police chief instructed officers to “protect yourselves, secure your arms and ammunition, and do not fire.” The order reportedly damaged police confidence/morale. A judicial inquiry commission has recommended action against the police chief.

नसिहत Revisited :
एआईजी कार्कीले दिएको आदेशका कारण प्रहरीले प्रतिरक्षा गर्ने आत्मविश्वास गुमाएको भन्दै उनलाई कारबाहीको सिफारिस गरिएको छ। कार्कीले ‘आफ�� जोगिनू, हतियार जोगाउनू र गोली नहान्नू’ भनी आदेश दिएको प्रतिवेदनमा लेखिएको छ। @BasnetManbdr @ukaalonews

“नेता केपी ओलीको भ्रमलाई चिर्नमा जोकोही लागेका थिए। यहाँसम्म कि कांग्रेस, एमालेका पाका–पुराना पुस्ता पनि आजित थिए— ओलीको मनोद��ा र मनोवृत्तिबाट…यसपटक झापा–५ मा बालेनको विजयभन्दा बढी ‘अति सर्वत्र वर्जयेत्’को पराजय हो, जुन हुनैपर्ने थियो”

If RSP-Balen had fielded a tree as its candidate, it would probably have won anyway. Such is the force of the populist wave and the depth of public rage. Still, I’ve always believed Nepalis are largely swing voters. I do think Balen will rule better than he raps.

A short encomium for @ameetdhakal. I’ve known him for nearly two decades and have never found him wanting in journalistic craft. Time & again, @setopati has been astoundingly astute in its ground-based vote projections. Dare I say he is our version of Nate Silver & Antony Green.

बिपी र प्रदीप गिरि, जसको मधेस मुद्दामा उत्कृष्ट सुझबुझ थियो, सभापति थापा धेरै हदसम्म यी नेताद्वयको राजनीति र समाजप्रतिको बुझाइलाई अनुसरण गर्नुहुन्छ। नवीनीकृत कांग्रेस यति बेला मधेससँगको सम्बन्धमा सुधार ल्याउन प्रयत्नरत छ। देशैभरि उत्सुकता पनि उत्तिकै छ।

Since it is an internationally frequented holiday resort, it is assumed that the victims come from various countries, though their identification is ongoing.

A fire & explosions ripped through Le Constellation bar in Crans-Montana (Valais), Switzerland overnight on Jan 1, killing several dozens & injuring 100 people during NY celebrations. Police says the cause is still under investigation. Officials have ruled out terrorism or arson.

A witness told French broadcaster BFMTV that people were smashing windows to escape the fire, some badly injured. He said many were seen scrambling through smoke and flames — “like a horror movie,” watched from across the street.
