@PakistanArchve @ryangrim Your team would primarily write for your PM, why include the word "Pakistan?" Context implies it. If the PM of Canada were visiting and you wrote his content, you would label it "Canada's PM" to clarify. If your practice is the norm, surely you can show images of similar drafts?

The claim being circulated is based on a misunderstanding of how official social media communication works. Accounts of public office holders, including Shehbaz Sharif, are typically managed by dedicated media teams. Content is drafted internally based on guidance, reviewed, and then published by an account manager. The presence of a phrase like “Draft – Pakistan’s PM Message” is consistent with an internal drafting format that was mistakenly left in during posting. Such oversights, while unfortunate, are not uncommon in fast-paced digital communication environments. There is no credible evidence to suggest that this indicates external authorship or involvement. It reflects a routine procedural lapse rather than any broader implication.

Oh, this is unbelievable. The edit history on this tweet shows that Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif originally copied and pasted everything he was sent, including: "*Draft - Pakistan's PM Message on X*" Now, obviously, Sharif's own staff don't call him "Pakistan's PM," they would just call him prime minister. The U.S. and Israel, of course, would call him "Pakistan's PM." Would be funny if the fate of the world wasn't hanging in the balance.

Diplomatic efforts for peaceful settlement of the ongoing war in the Middle East are progressing steadily, strongly and powerfully with the potential to lead to substantive results in near future. To allow diplomacy to run its course, I earnestly request President Trump to extend the deadline for two weeks. Pakistan, in all sincerity, requests the Iranian brothers to open Strait of Hormuz for a corresponding period of two weeks as a goodwill gesture. We also urge all warring parties to observe a ceasefire everywhere for two weeks to allow diplomacy to achieve conclusive termination of war, in the interest of long-term peace and stability in the region. @realDonaldTrump @JDVance @SecRubio @SteveWitkoff @SEPeaceMissions @drpezeshkian @mb_ghalibaf @araghchi

Anyone remember those instructions Keggy Pete gave? "Nickles and dimes only" or something like that? A fool and a nutter for creating unnecessary risk for his soldiers. Bet those US troops are hoping their adversary is more civilized than the US Secretary and Commander-In-Chief.
The Hormuz Letter@HormuzLetter

BREAKING: Roughly 100 US special operations forces are stranded inside Iran after both MC-130 extraction aircraft suffered mechanical failures and could not take off, per Reuters. The mission entered Iran to extract the downed F-15 WSO, identified as a colonel, who evaded for 48 hours with a sprained ankle in a hilltop crevice. The US jammed electronics and struck key roads around the site to prevent anyone from getting close.

@stphnmaher Have we ever had a precedent in a constitutional case that confirms "no takebacks" if someone who renounced their Canadian citizenship tries to reclaim it? Many Canadians never want to see Raphael Jr. back here.

How can a country be more "sovereign" than..... by having a Sovereign? Republic, reshmublic. Someone needs to buy @TuckerCarlson one of these classics to hang on his wall, wherever he ponders Canada's sovreignty.

TUCKER CARLSON SOFT-LAUNCHING CANADA 51ST STATE?! 'Our most CRITICAL ALLY — IGNORED, HUGE oil reserves, OPPRESSING its own CITIZENS...' 'NOT a SOVEREIGN COUNTRY — DEFINITELY could argue for REGIME CHANGE' 'If anyone needs liberation… IT'S THE CANADIANS!'

@DimitrisSoudas Honestly, years of experience in local politics, including learning the skills to create incremental progress on files. It was the momentum in Layton's last campaign, the idea that giving him more influence in parliament would create more improvement in Canada. Avi??? Unknown.

This is why we should do zero new defense purchasing from the lying US, and if the try to take our prior F-35 payments, we put export tariffs on water, oil, potash, earth metals, etc going to the US 'til we recoup plus. Time to find new defense vendors and trade partners ASAP.
🪖MilitaryNewsUA🇺🇦@front_ukrainian

❗️The 🇺🇸United States has bypassed the 🇨🇭Swiss "freeze" on payments for the Patriot system by simply redirecting funds from the F-35 budget through a joint military sales fund. More than 100 million CHF has already been transferred, which now forces Switzerland to close new gaps in F-35 payments. Swiss officials described the situation as "very unsatisfactory" and stated that it "undermines trust" in American defense agreements

@stphnmaher It's actually the CEO who held himself to a higher standard when he asked for a mulligan years ago, promising Canadians it would never happen again. That is bad enough, adding these tragic circumstances only makes it worse.

I think a lot of opinion havers are missing a golden opportunity to be quiet on this issue.
Jason Kenney 🇨🇦🇺🇦🇮🇱@jkenney

I await Governor General Mary Simon's condolence video in French. Why do the Liberals hold the CEO of Air Canada to a higher standard of bilingualism than their own appointee as Governor General, who hasn't learned French after four years in the role? TBH, I would rather have the CEO of our flagship carrier focusing his scarce time on safety and reliability than language training.

12. Let's promote human creativity, avoid the circular trap of trying to judge the humanity of texts inspired by humans, and instead bring society back to championing the arts, while allowing automated or mechanical tasks to be done by AI systems without pretense or hiding. 10/10

11. The question becomes "Does the judgement produced merit the investment of resources and time, or are they best spent creating, allowing utilitarian text to be AI written?" Do we focus on illuminating human creative text with the resources we save? That may be the best ROI. 9/

Why detecting AI text is hard v. 2.0 1. AI learns to write from human text, there's no "AI school" of writers. 2. AI learns to detect AI writing from human text, either indirectly (AI writing based on human writing studied) or directly (same material used to train AI writing) 1/
