AI Expo – Localising AI for Sri Lanka I had the privilege of being a panellist in a very engaging discussion on “Localising AI for Sri Lanka” at the ongoing National AI Expo. There are more talks and a free exhibition happening today (September 30), so I’d encourage you to drop…
Timely to recall how whilst Cuba gave asylum to Black revolutionaries like Assata, the US gave asylum to Nazis and their collaborators. So when they call Cuba a state sponsor of terrorism or paint those struggling to uplift their people as evil, read in between the lines.

While the Italian navy are sending a frigate to assist the flotilla, last night during the drone attack I rang the Department of Foreign Affairs in Dublin 17 times. The automated voice to me to wait for an operator then the line went dead. 17 times.

Devastating new investigation by Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant: 15 international doctors report at least 114 Palestinian children with single gunshot wounds to head/chest—injuries forensic experts say are consistent with aimed fire. (Photo: Mira, 4 years old)
What struck me in this photo is that there’s a street named after Count Bernadotte: he was a Swedish diplomat who saved 31,000 from Nazi concentration camps, became the UN’s first mediator in Palestine, backed the Palestinian right of return and then in 1948 was assassinated in…

11)That said, arresting Ranil W at this juncture isn’t smart or strategic and will only make him a hero and victim. Negative repercussions of this arrest far outweigh benefits. Also, arresting him for this offence while no action has been taken against those who committed worse
10)Arguments this arrest is a threat to Presidency demonstrate how comfortable many are with power being concentrated in an individual. This is linked to our need for a saviour who dispenses patronage, whose authority cannot be questioned and who functions with impunity.
4) him show reason for impunity in SL- politicians protect their own as they don’t want to be held accountable. We didn’t see this level of concern when poets, playwrights, comedians or activists were arrested on non existent charges. Protecting Ranil W = protecting themselves.
Israel murdered a Reuters journalist. In a hospital. As rescue workers tried to recover his body, Israel murdered them. Live on TV. Along with three more journalists. Apparently "it's complicated".

The body of a young Tamil who visited the Muttiyankattu Left Bank Sri Lanka army camp on 7 August on the invitation of a soldier was found floating in the Muttiyankattu tank today (9). Protesting locals allege he and three others who managed to escape were tortured in the camp.
1/Terrorism Investigation Div summoning @kumanan93 is latest in harassment and intimidation spanning many yrs. TID/CID and military intelligence call him often demanding info and over the yrs have warned/threatened him, summoned him for inquiry, visited his home and followed him.

it could be a one off, but Gillibrand being forced to apologize while the manufactured hysteria over Zohran’s refusal to condemn every word in the Arabic language fades without him giving an inch feels like a watershed moment. I think we’re playing by a different set of rules now
