The most trending tweets on twitter are always projecting imminent doom and gloom. Wonder what is this human infatuation with chaos… Perhaps fear is the simplest common thread in humanity. Joy is subjective. But fear is universal, objective. We all die the same death.

I am not liking all the pro Punjab, anti BLA hinging on anti-Baluch stuff on my TL. BLA would never exist if Baluch’s were given their due rights. BLA is merely a symptom. The problem remains disenfranchisement of the Baluch people.

One thing I loveeee about Americans is how early they rise. It’s 8am. I’m at Baltimore airport and it’s buzzingggg. All the restaurants at the airport are open, functional and filled to the brim.

It’s interesting that our Finance Minister is a Bank president because banks are considered intermediaries in asymmetric information. One of their many roles is to mitigate risk associated with asymmetric information by financial intermediation. E.g. giving loans.

One of the reasons for our underdevelopment is the fact that we are a low trust society, which means it’s hard for us to go beyond family and friends networks. A better law and order situation, contract enforcement etc etc would help us move beyond limiting networks.

@DrMIK7 Pata nahi, this is not my experience. Aap ne kabhi kisi Chinese restaurant pe order kiya hai? Mujhe bohut scary lagta hai. Wou aise baat krte hain jaise bohut jaldi main hon aur bohut ghussay hon. Bohut ajeeb lagta hai mujhe 😂

I love how Rahul Gandhi's Bharat Yatra was a success. People were continuously bleating against it. That's such a great, unique idea to cut against nepo baby accusation. Pakistan desperately needs fresh thinking like that. Maryam and Bilawal need to take note.

@ArafatMazhar This is a very weird critique. Many disagree with Hoodboi, and that’s legit but to claim IK is not a “fascist” really takes away from his time in power. Deterring IKs mandate is criminal, but so were many of the things he did in power. The two notions aren’t mutually exclusive.

@constans This is probably why I love the US in many intangible ways. There literally and figuratively is space for everyone here. (Not to claim there are no evils but how immigrants integrate is incredible)

@brain_3600 @wulterwhut @still_oppressed Here’s Reuters quoting UN that they never said the number of dead is halved. Thats literally what Israel’s propaganda ministry’s spokesperson said and you went off with it. Are you getting paid by Israel to spread lies or are you just ignorant?

@shaykshack There’s like lower tier things in semiconductor manufacturing as well. China has been spilling money into this and even they are not there yet. This speaks more about the projection of the economy that Modi wants to do more than where India is at, and it’s a great plan imo.

Law and order is 100% Pakistan's biggest hurdle to economic prosperity. We will never amount to anything if ISI simply refuses to do its actual job. We have already lost two decades: one to Musharraf's War on Terror, and then to the subsequent execution of OBL on our soil.

Unfortunate that 991 Chinese engineers stopped working in Pakistan and 40 Chinese teachers already left Pakistan. Security agencies should stop spying on judges and journalists. They must follow those who are attacking Chinese in Pakistan.

Just today this friend argued with me that there is no culture of Islam and I so vehemently disagree. There are too many Muslims who have grown up in conservative middle class households, who don’t feel the same way about Islam as their parents, but utterly belong to Islam.

half the NYPD is black and brown folks and I'm so annoyed that these people have no allegiance to anything. these people should be named and shamed in their communities. I have had it with people of colour who merely serve their overlords for crumbs.

Retired faujis don’t have the same level of leverage that a serving fauji does. If ppl want to take on the establishment, why don’t they go after retired faujis? Wouldn’t it be interesting to uncover corruption or inefficiency of all these faujis serving in civilian institutions?

This is the fundamental flaw of western academics in particular. They are absolutely unkind to dissent or subversion to their preferred narrative. They indulge in otherisation at home and abroad. The analysis on Trump is my Roman Empire.

One of the most frustrating aspects of the discussions about Iran amongst so called analysts like Arash Azizi et al. is this idea that Iran, a country of 90 million, is uniformly anti-regime and that the 20 million people who voted for Raisi just don’t exist.

This is an absolutely spot on illustration of how expectations drive the market. People speculated the country is going bankrupt, and they took it out on PKR. Now they think the new govt has a handle on things, and they are reacting again.

Alternatively, WHY don’t PTI supporters like so ask Imran to form a coalition and make govt in center? Rigging or not, PTI never even got 2/3rd majority in 2018. Nor did it win 2/3rd in 2023. Go work with partners and make government.

@navift Studying here in the US, after getting an exemplary education in Pakistan really dents the myth of US education exceptionalism though: it’s all smoke and mirrors. It truly depends on your teacher, wherever you are, to nurture students.

Lol what a disaster. They’re smart enough to know they’ve committed political suicide. You can see it on their faces. In another 12-18 months there will be another election and this time the number will be much higher than 180. Very good. Carry on.
