Sri Lanka is just about ready to mess up its power system a little bit more I was going to stay out of this because when you have two utterly ignorant groups so entrenched in their views, it's impossible to have an informed conversation Nevertheless, here are some thoughts 1/17

@nimilamalee Oh, but don't worry! All Sri Lankans should focus on the holy dog touring the street! When the numbers from the French loan come out, they are going to bring down a sacred donkey to tour SL!

"We are looking at the possibility of some inside help that may have been given to an outside party to breach our system,” a senior government official told the Sunday Times. By Damith Wickremasekera, who has impeccable sources. sundaytimes.lk/260426/news/tr…

When politicians and their shameless PR agencies abuse a poor dog to distract from their gross incompetence, does that count as animal cruelty? Asking for a friend.

Don't start a startup in high school. What if it works? You'll lose the opportunity you'd otherwise have to explore random, interesting ideas, driven only by curiosity. Because while you will indeed learn a lot from a startup, you won't have any choice about what you learn.

@nimilamalee Well, here's a thought: there's something that's easily quantifiable here—financial losses to the state. There are numerous recent cases filed by the bribery commission that imply that losses to the state constitute a crime. Can we agree that what happened is a crime?

One of the worst problems related to #Coalgate is wilful politicisation (by opposition AND government) that muddies the waters so much that the facts are lost. Evidence-based info must be separated from the politics. The words "fraud" and "corruption" must be proven/disproven.

@Rajni_Gamage This whole notion of 'anti-corruption mandate' is so misguided. We are in the mess we are in because of our continued failure to demonstrate competence in governance. x.com/Meow_LK/status…
meowLK@Meow_LK

Getting rid of corruption is a noble goal, but it alone won’t make us a developed nation. Take the uncontacted tribes of the Andaman Islands, for example—they’re throwing spears at helicopters, not launching radar-guided missiles. And guess what? They’ve got zero corruption!

The NPP government has completely misunderstood or is deliberately misunderstanding mandate given them in 2024. An anti corruption mandate doesn't mean they can be excused for incompetency in managing public finance, such as in losses caused by irregularities in coal procurement.

@HarshadeSilvaMP @MFA_SriLanka Well, it appears we have outsourced our foreign policy formulation to a neighbouring country. Maybe they are now representing us in events too?"

What happened to #SriLanka? Where is the Minister or even DM? How come we are not represented at this important gathering @MFA_SriLanka? Please don’t say ‘cost cutting’ like that one time or that they had to vote at the coal scam NCM. Unless you people in office understand the importance of these gatherings the emerging opportunity to leverage our natural advantage in the Indian Ocean will be lost.

@ggreenwald The tribesmen wrote a fantastic reply to the emperor which includes the line "What kind of knight are you that you can't slay a hedgehog with your naked arse? And Ilya Repin did a brilliant painting of the tribesmen writing that reply.

@ggreenwald There are many instances of powerful emperors being beaten by a ragtag bunch of tribesmen. However, until now, only once in history, after being beaten, the emperor demanded the other side surrender anyway. See if you can name that emperor?

Good news for the SL public! 😂 Donald Rumsfeld’s dad has officially started writing for a Sunday paper. Today’s masterpiece on the bank scandal (where staff quietly swindled funds and the bank still can’t count how much):

@infolibnews The individual that Hegseth is named after also comes from the Book of Esther: Hegai (also called Hege). He's a eunuch in charge of the royal harem! 😁

Franklin Graham: "Let us pray… Father, you tell us in the Book of Esther that the Persians—the Iranians—were wanting to kill every Jew…and do it all in one day…" "Today, the Iranians—the wicked regime of this govt—wants to kill every Jew and destroy them with an atomic fire, but you have raised up Pres. Trump."
Chris Menahan 🇺🇸@infolibnews

Trump spiritual advisor Paula White compares President Trump to Jesus Christ at White House Easter Lunch. "Mr. President, no one has paid the price like you have paid the price. It almost cost you your life. You were betrayed and arrested and falsely accused. It's a familiar pattern that our Lord and Savior showed us." She says God told her to tell him that "because of [Jesus's victory in resurrection], you will be victorious in all that you put your hands to."

@indica Trump’s Cabinet has two traders with decades of market experience. That alone gives them an edge. Layer on the massive resources of the US Treasury + influence over key media, and they’ve got serious short-term leverage in markets. Whether we like it or not.

Ray Dalio@RayDalio·
To succeed at investing, you need to have a well-throughout, ideally back-tested, game-plan that you execute, rather than make decisions spontaneously.  To build a well-tested game-plan, start by looking at all the big events that have happened before, because, if it happened before, you should assume it will happen again (unless you can say why you're confident it won't). Almost everything that you will encounter has happened before many times in slightly different versions, so if you have a game plan for dealing with all of those you will be in pretty good shape.  Also, you will find that having a well-tested game-plan to hold onto during the turbulent times is extremely helpful, not only because your decision- making will be much better but because it will also give you a less stressful and therefore healthier life.  Building such a game-plan also produces great learning experiences because it leads you to study cause-effect relationships, and learning is enjoyable as well as crucial to success. So, it will make you happy as well as effective. It was certainly key to the success and joy I had being an investor.

@tlbtlbtlb High-end industrial arms have been working well for some time, right? Lately though they seem to be working well on the lower end of the spectrum. There are people lending UR5-type systems for welding. Is that what you're referring to, i.e., the lower end?

@paulg Although Garry sometimes reminds me of Joe Satriani/Steve Vai-type guitarists, their main focus in life seems to be showcasing their mastery of the fretboard, rather than making beautiful-sounding music!

Some people criticize Garry, but this excerpt from the latest Social Radars episode is a good example of how insiders feel about how he's doing. The 3 of us in this conversation are 3/5 of YC's board.

I am so thankful for @paulg @jesslivingston @bchesky @cjoneslevy for believing me and selecting me to be the President & CEO of YC. To be able to lead this brilliant band of partners is beyond the best job I’ve ever had! If you love what you do, you never work a day in your life

@MarketNewsLK Neutrality, really? Where was this dude when the Indian government took control of the dockyard right in the heart of Colombo Port via a firm that makes exclusively gunboats and military equipment? In the process, it kicked out a long-term Japanese investor — was he asleep?

#SriLanka maintained neutrality by refusing two requests by both the #US and #Iran, Sri Lanka President #AKD stated in Parliament Sri Lanka refused the request by 3 Iranian ships to come to Sri Lanka on a goodwill visit, and the request by the United States to land 2 fighter jets in Mattala 🇺🇸🇱🇰🇮🇷
