Did YOU want to watch CCTV's AI Martial Arts cartoon about the Straits of Hormuz crisis? Complete with fighting Persian Cats? Well I subtitled it for you so you can enjoy it in all its trope-laden glory! Remember kids, the mountains will stay standing while the green water flows, and the true art of war is not figuring out how to fight, but how to stop!🥷😼🦅
Steve Hou@stevehou
Chinese state media made an AI-generated cartoon about the US-Iran conflict. Extremely well done!

@pratyoushonta I have found this to be the case even with op-ed articles, which have far less rigorous standards than journal articles. Many don't like being edited. They write one draft and expect it to be published as is. When asked for edits, they disappear.
English
The point is not to name and shame. Perhaps it is much easier to dispense unsolicited advice here than write a 4000-6000 word commentary that would be subjected to critical peer review under a system managed by editors who have been doing that kind of work 20-30 years.
Pratyoush Onta@pratyoushonta
I don't know him personally. He is seen giving advice on many different subjects related to Nepal from abroad. So I asked him to write a commentary for the annual journal Samaj Adhyayan on the subject of his expertise. He agreed. Deadline passed. I sent reminder emails. No reply.

@haaangma ma ta mid article thiye, refresh hanchu ta lau na. I almost cried 😭😭. No its such a hit for nepal ko journalism nai tbh.

There was such a good article on why this portrait was made the way it looks now. Overly Masculine banako, when the first known portrait of PNS was a mithila painting with him holding a flower and book. And how this was made to make him look aggressive and like a "ruler"

Someone should totally sell King Prithvi Narayan Shah's portrait on Amazon and Etsy. It's already super popular. I'm definitely keeping it in my office.

Nepal’s Gen-Z revolution is a fascinating case study of youth toppling a corrupt regime & electing a young leader to take the country forward.
I spoke to Pranaya Raja @inkthink for his first-hand perspective from Nepal. Watch the full episode here:

Earlier tonight, Israeli shelling struck the Nepalese UNIFIL battalion headquarters in Mays al-Jabal, southern Lebanon, wounding several peacekeepers and sparking fires at the compound.
The Nepalese consulate in Beirut confirmed and condemned the attack.

THREAD: 1.1. The World Bank just approved a $52 million loan for Nepal to clean up its air. The catch? Nepal has already collected over NPR 22 billion in pollution taxes since 2008. Why are we borrowing for a crisis we've already paid to solve? #Nepal #AirPollution @madhavjee

Inisha BK’s case is a stark reminder that sexual violence remains widespread in Nepal. Patriarchy, institutional failures, and the stigma around speaking out make it far too easy for perpetrators to escape accountability and far too hard for survivors to find justice. (2/2)

Sexual violence is distressingly common in Nepal. Last fiscal year alone, Nepal Police reported 3,441 cases of sexual violence, including 2,507 cases of rape. Over 64% of victims were girls aged 18 or younger. (1/2)

I'm glad Nepal showed some spine. Regardless of how you feel about the Iranian regime, the US and Israel launched an illegal war of aggression. Why should Iran be condemned? Iran has the right to defend itself.

@arjunsigdel94 Kamal Malla, in my humble opinion, remains unrivalled as a cultural critic. Even today, no Nepali writer comes close to the depth and breadth of his writing.
English
BP Koirala, Laxmi Prasad Devkota( although he had written 'hai hai angrezi' nibandha, Yadunath Khanal, Harka Gurung, Kamal Prakash Malla had excellent command of English language. They read broadly. They were the finest Nepali thinkers of last 75 years.
I don't get your point.
कृष्ण थापा@krsntpa
For the past 75 years, Nepal’s greatest thinkers and artists were products of Nepali and/or Sanskrit schooling. Meanwhile, English-medium education has primarily served as a pipeline for the NGO sector and the global diaspora.

"European Union Imposes Sanctions on Iran Amid US-Israeli War"
Impeccably logical from the EU. As is well known, Iran attacked the United States and Israel, killed all their leaders, bombed civilians in their capitals and has been continuing the bombing campaign, with large US and Israeli civilian casualties. for more than a week.
