Dear Prime Minister @CMShehbaz, this is a bad idea. Please do not do this. Rs. 50B is $180M or thereabouts. Please allocate this amount to 10 of the leading VCs and become a significant LP with each of these funds. Ask them for only one thing: every year you will send 10 top

This paper is one of the most astonishing feats of sustained data wizardry I have ever seen. Using data from Uber, they are able to estimate the roughness of every road in America and precisely estimate the value people place on it, and so much more. 1/

That's one of the most moving things I've seen on a football pitch, I think: Salah standing in front of the Kop, tears in his eyes, keeping the Jota song going. A really admirable public act of grief.

I think you should have tried to resist more.
Ok, I’ve resisted doing this, but since @ZohranKMamdani has won the nomination and talks up being Muslim, here’s Prophet Muhammad on price controls: https://t.co/r4r8FPEndp

Even India's poorest state of Bihar has a literacy rate of 74% compared to Sindh's 57.5% @MiftahIsmail
17 years of PPP rule brought regression, not progress. Literacy fell to 57.54%, enrolment rates dropped, out-of-school children rose to 7.2 million. Infrastructure is broken, learning outcomes dismal, and teacher quality barely improved.@YousufNazar

If Iranian people are energised and motivated according to you, show some balls and go back and lead them and remove the regime. Put your money where your arse is, bloody parasitical imperial whore..

National security cannot be achieved without economic security. This has always been true. But a lot of political fractures that need to be resolved before that can happen...
Victory over India with the help of China provides an opportunity to Pakistan to recalibrate its economic policies too.The country ought to truly revive China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, reshape its economic structure, reduce reliance on foreign loans & policy advice by ending

This is a huge failure of the entire international community. For days, India had been at it. And nothing. Now there HAS to be a quick effort at scaling things down. How was India allowed to bring this region to this point?

Rather late for the G7 to be making this rather lukewarm statement
G7 statement urges "maximum restraint" and "immediate de-escalation" and expresses deep concern over the threat that India-Pakistan military escalation poses to "regional stability" and the "safety of civilians on both sides."

There has been one war between nuclear-armed states: that between India and Pakistan in 1999. That war was contained to a mountainous area near the Indian town of Kargil. We are about to see if nuclear-armed states can fight another war without risking calamity. God help us all.

India just bombed the de-escalation ramp. Wasn't a realistic possibility, but now it's eviscerated.

Indians and Pakistanis living in two entirely different, diametrically opposed information ecosystems right now. Our realities, as shaped by our media, are nothing alike. Our bomb is their crash. Their attack is our military exercise. Two different worlds. One very bad outcome.
