@sfhlegal filed a petition on behalf of activists @ridarashid_ and Hania Imran before the Islamabad High Court for implementation of the National Clean Air Policy in Islamabad due to the rapidly deteriorating air quality of the city. The Court admitted the petition yesterday.

No, I do not want the AI overview.
I want to read a Wikipedia page that leads me to another Wikipedia page, and another, and another, and get lost for hours down a completely unrelated rabbit hole as the gods intended.

@sohailabid Stonic all the way. Yaris is a horrible place to be. Stonic is great. I owned one for three years and it was a wonderful experience.

@Shehzad89 looks like racism is not limited to Karachi. And look it's a PTI wala.

Lahore has been so peaceful in these Eid holidays. Specially minimum traffic. It’s the outsiders that have ruined Lahore.

I was just reminded of Tony Gilroy’s advice to writers on Andor:

Nadeem bhai I challenge you or any of the well-off people here who think our poor people are lazy and live a luxurious life to spend one night without air conditioning. Just one night.
Those of our poor brothers and sisters, who are exactly like us, except that they are poor, live very hard lives where food is a luxury and health care unaffordable.

When poor people go back to villages they help their families with harvesting or sowing, they help rebuild the walls and roofs that caved in during the previous rains, they work butchering animals during Barka Eid, and yes they also spend time with their spouses, kids and parents. Is that so bad? Don’t we all do that?

Seeing it on this side of the border as well.

Have now read two very consequential orders from a specific SC bench that have *every* hallmark of AI-writing, heh. "Not x, but y" in every second sentence. "Neither a, nor b," where both "a" and "b" are highly manicured expressions you just won't use in a normal sentence. Etc.

[Jaime Griesemer @32nds]

The Boys has totally lost the plot.

The original premise was "nobody should have super powers, it makes them narcissistic and that leads to evil acts." Now most of the "good" guys are supes, all the OG supes are making selfless sacrifices for love, and even when the "bad" guys do something horrible, most of their victims are other bad guys. They cannot possibly pay off the first season now.

@VeersWatch where are you

[Mark Lazerus @MarkLazerus]

The Empire Strikes Back is on, and I realized the AT-AT commander on Hoth is the Guy Who Chose Poorly in The Last Crusade. Then my wife tells me that's the same guy who played Grand Maester Pycelle in Game of Thrones. 🤯

I hate when people at work ask you what books you are reading for professional development. I am reading books to counteract the effects of being professionally developed. I am reading books that bring me back to being human.

Many Pakistan-born entrepreneurs have made billions in silicon valley.

Will they ever bring their money in Pakistan? Never.

Why?

Due to two archaic and anti business institutions of Pakistan. SBP and FBR.

Both do not understand the process and value of wealth creation. They just have anti-wealth creation policies such as high sales tax, corporate tax and barriers to the flow of international payments.

This isn't millenial grey, this is hustle grindset grey. The apartment is grey to be maximally sellable to tenants. The Honda is grey (and a crossover) to sell to be maximally sellable from car dealer inventory. It is the aesthetic of the unrepentant capitalist drive.

[Zahra Sabri @ZSabri1]

A piece absolutely begging for Western approval, full of cultural references relatable for the West, and trite generalisations about regional cultures. I mean, what does one even do with a sentence like this: "Punjabi warmth, Pashtun honour, Sindhi hospitality, & Baloch dignity"
