your friend with 10k+ hours across all paradox titles says he's going to the doctor for an assessment

All I can think is the people walking on eggshells on what they post about the job cos you can put it at risk on what you say or even share and seen people get in trouble over such things. But with ai you can make your company look like a joke and it’s fine cos it’s the future.

Fun fact: a lot of PR money has been and will continue to be spent to convince working class consumers that the small things we do every day are "destroying the planet". Who pays for the PR? The actual biggest contributors to climate change. Heat exhaustion is a real threat, just turn the a/c on.

Neutrality difficult in unstable world, says Ukraine’s acting ambassador Experts say Malaysia’s non-aligned foreign policy warrants closer examination, with global powers increasingly disregarding established international norms.

I'm quoted in this piece about neutrality challenges in today's unstable world. As Ukraine's acting ambassador notes, true neutrality requires balanced, visible action - not passive silence. The war tests whether international law protects smaller nations.

Screenshot of a Wikipedia article about the father of Zohran Mamdani, Mahmood Mamdani, who was arrested after taking part in a civil rights march while studying in the US in 1965. He used his one call to call the Ugandan Ambassador in DC. When asked ‘why he was interfering in internal affairs of a foreign country’ he responded that it was not an internal affair but a freedom struggle and Uganda had only gotten their freedom also last year.

Reading about Zohran’s dad Mahmood Mamdani, he was 18 here, this goes so hard

I wrote this week on how China has become the single most important enabler of Russian defence industry & by extension the war in Ukraine. It is still avoiding large-scale lethal aid, but there are signs it has walked up to the line, or stepped across. www.economist.com/china/2025/0...
