Just a stat. Haris missed his Yorker twice in the last over against the US. And he was hit for 4 both times. Bumrah also missed his length and bowled two full tosses to Ifti Chacha. He scored zero and got out,
I miss the younger me who was curious and excited about the world and our place in it, about our history and future. Now a days I mostly worry about surviving in late stage capitalism without letting my mental health kill me.
It’s not Karachi that’s just flooding today, other parts of Sindh are too. And the people who are accountable for governing are seen nowhere. It’s a natural, systematic and administrative disaster. The people are on their own.
Criticism of the PPP is one thing. Racist undertones about Sindhi identity is another. Pls know the difference between the two and do not ever condone the latter.
I think it’s very easy to sometimes forget that this small bubble on twitter and the discourse that takes place here is not at all evident of the society we live in.
From Saqib Nasir to Justice Bandial. The Supreme Court has a rich history of judges who have a god like complex. This is a result of the failure of a system that has no place to hold judges accountable and their powers remain largely unfettered.
Happy independence day to the people of Indian subcontinent. We are free from British colonialism but not colonial structures. Ek din uss bhi ek din Azadi le gai

You guys are truly embarrassing. Stop projecting the United States onto China. What they are describing is the model of the empire of the United States.
Just emailed two candidates who had applied to work at our organisation telling them that we think that they are smart. I think everyone deserves to have a nice weekend. Also, pls be generous with your compliments, it might make someone’s day.
I am so fucking angry and absolutely fuming. How did Kashmala’s son get pre arrest bail for a non bailable offence that too for 50,000. And Ofc the drivers are arrested for being poor since their lack of privilege can’t save them.
I have been accused of being a misogynist for explaining free market enthusiasts why capitalism is responsible for climate change after I was asked explain it lol.

For starters, this is crisis of capitalism not China. Western capitalism has destroyed the world and our eco systems from the last few centuries now. China’s rise within capitalism is what fuels this but it’s not just them any global south country that succeeds will have 1/2
If your premium leg spinner on a slow wicket doesn’t take wickets and goes at fucking 7 runs an over. And your other leg spinner and part timer at 6 and 5 respectively. You can’t quite possibly defend anything.
Okay guys not that this matters alot unless you have generational wealth but if you guys had to do redo your majors what would it be and why? Just curious.
One of the reasons why I despise the nation-state model so much is that it always makes room for the hegemony of a single identity, language or culture. That is why secession alone isn’t sufficient to emancipate oppressed communities. And I will die on this hill.
All the power in the world to these strong women who came out today in large numbers for their right to breath and exist without being violated.

Ffs mate. Stop gloating about putting poor people in the global south in jail. I am sorry you were harassed and I don’t expect any structural or nuance understanding of structures of inequality but this is a young man and he most certainly does not deserve to rot in jail for this
He tried to earn a living by cheating people, but now he's living behind metal bars thanks to Karachi Police.
Hopefully he learns there's no need to cheat foreign tourists. Most will give extra payment if they were shown a good experience and treated in an honest way.
I am so tired of writing cover letters. Just take my bloody interview or something or why even that? You need a person to exploit and I need the moniez lezz go
The amount of closeted transphobic people that have come out from their sad little huts on this bird app since
@TMItalks
has talked about how she was discriminated against is quite something to see.
If Pakistan and England make the finals it will be so funny and boring. Why did have a World Cup for this shit we could have kept playing England anyway 😭
Okay so here is what PTI fans are saying now. “Nobody has cared for the constitution before in Pakistan so what if Imran has committed treason and a abrogated the constitution, he is a nice dude”
My disillusionment with this country increases by the day. My inability to do anything about it takes a huge toil on me. And I wonder if it’s possible to disengage without compromising on your empathy which this country has been doing since it’s existence. It’s is a hell hole.
My friend’s dad just passed away due to covid-19. I am so heart broken pls pls pls for the love of god follow SOPs and take this seriously. And pray for everyone who is diagnosed with Covid-19.
One of the reasons why people try to find meaning in their work is that they have been preparing for that their entire life. Since we are kids, we are told to dream about our economic survival through jobs and that once we make it in the system economically we have peaked.
Overseas Pakistani who have dual nationalities should only have the right to vote only if they can prove residence in Pakistan. If you don’t reside in the country and you are a dual national. You should have no right to decide the future of the country.
@RodericDay
Also makes me think how this is the logical end of the individualism and self interest rhetoric. The propaganda is everywhere but the consciousness that has emerged in general is scary.
Pls refrain from ridiculous takes like these. The fight over Karachi’s resources between ruling elite ( the military, PPP, MQM,) has nothing to do with indigenous Sindhi population and their feelings about their own province and cities.
The amount of disaster the rains in Sindh have bought to rural areas where crops have been completely destroyed is in so many ways unprecedented and heart breaking. From our biggest city to our smaller cities to our villages, the entire province has suffered enormously.

Sadia with all due respect the only thing you are going to do with this knowledge of yours is embarrass your self. Please let read, there are plenty of great resources on the internet.
The less interaction kids have with each other. The more likely they are to fall into the toxic narratives of patriarchy. The more likely boys are to dehumanise. You want kids to learn to treat each other like human beings not segregate and allow space for this other-ization
Co education is far better than segregated schooling because it teaches us to co exist and doesn't let us have unrealistic or high expectations from each other. Girls college and boys college have far more desperate kids.

You are interested in electoral politics only if you have the time to care about it. And those who are busy surviving (which is a large majority really don’t…
More people have died because of Covid-19 than the amount of people that died in the 1965 war with India. The fact that political leaders continue to hold rallies without any attempt at SOPs is honestly criminal negligence..
I wish I had the words to articulate how sometimes what is just and appropriate thing to say individually can very quickly become problematic when said collectively. This is a problem most common to social media and twitter.
I mean imagine what kind of moral bankruptcy it takes to be patriotic in this country. Matlab you would believe in any horse shit but that deny any violence and oppression that will bring “negative press”. Unfuckingreal.
@RodericDay
I think people are misreading into your argument. I don’t think it’s about framing a people as supervillains per se but accepting that it isn’t just state propaganda that’s at play. It is an entire consciousness that has emerged out of this system that we must acknowledge..
I don’t think there is any “right” thing you can say to someone who is going through depression or a very hard time. Anything and everything can trigger them. Just watch your words and listen as much as possible. That really is it.
Honestly, the liberal identity politics culture is so empty and devoid of any real material analysis that it can never challenge real quarters of powers. It’s directionless, circular and full of oppression Olympics.
Tahria Abdullah sahiba today at the protest today before police terrorism began. She said - Today they have picked up Manzoor for raising a voice tomorrow they will pick me and you. And we didn’t have to wait too long to see..
#ReleaseIslamabadProtestors
I mean it’s kind of funny that the entire country was being mobilized on this narrative and now despite him admitting it was all a lie. There is no sense of accountability we just move on?
Imran Khan admits that the American conspiracy was a lie, he even goes on to say the entire "imported hakoomat" narrative was a lie.
The man labelled his opponents traitors and went against the Constitution to dissolve the assemblies based on something he himself says was a lie.
Also this is a genuine question for the PM
@ImranKhanPTI
how many girls in Pakistan wear shorter clothes again? I for one have never seen women wearing short skirts in the streets in this country. Where does PM Khan live again??????
The PM repeating his victim-blaming narrative, which paints Pakistani men as uncontrollable beasts for an international audience & yet people like myself are accused of hating men & giving the country a bad name.
Now that everyone is talking about work place exploitation. Big law firms in Pakistan are one of the most exploitative institutions that exist. I worked for little to no pay and I was working about 12 to 14 hours on a regular basis.
And I am also done hearing punjabi elites criticising Sindh or Sindhi politics. Save your crocodile tears. And dw about us, we will get our emancipation from not just the PPP but also you. Thanks.
It’s not Crawley’s attack but his defence that looks so reassuring against spinners. And he will have to bat long if England are to get anywhere close to the target
People really are on their own in Sindh. Either the Nazim Jokhio case or these poor poor children now, there is no justice for the poor. There is no value for human life. It really is in a terribly heart breaking state..
Absolutely heartbreaking. 9 children lost their lives in two villages in Dadu district of Sindh where fire raged for hours and no help came. There is no government rescue service like Rescue 1122 for 48 million people in Sindh

It is incredible how little people know of Xinjiang’s political history. All they have picked up is the “Uyghurs are oppressed “ narrative from the west and rest is just vibes and projection
Tell everyone this is Hong Kong and these are Chinese officers so we can have global outrage and more people can stand in solidarity with the working class people of France.
Notice how in majoritarian cultures. Minorities are always on paper referred to like equals. They completely whitewash all power dynamics. Which is why it becomes easy to justify violence against them. By claiming that there are just issues between “two groups” 1/2
@bilalfqi
"Issue between both groups has been resolved and both parties have come to compromise.
Police and relevant authorities are closely monitoring the situation.

“We only became no 1 in test cricket by beating Eng and South Africa on dust bowls in the UAE with a bowler who was later banned for chucking” see it’s not too hard to discredit. Just unbecoming of a former player and captain
Players are not stupid. They understand their bodies and can recognize when they aren’t fit. It is toxic culture like this that makes players play through injuries or when they are unfit. Because if they don’t their integrity is questioned.
Can't believe what I am hearing from
@mdk_gul
. He is a professional coach, coached Pakistan recently and here he is spreading conspiracy theories that Shadab ran away as his injury wasn't real. How on earth did he become a coach with such pathetic mindset.
Part of the reason why this kind of thinking has become normal is because western capitalism has found ways to contain any real decolonization or critique of it to academia. As long as no real power is challenged, they are tolerated as “nice but impractical/unrealistic ideas”
Quite appalling that Palestinians should aspire for actual decolonization when they can just write a paper and present it in the Annual Islamic Middle and Near Eastern Studies Conference 2023 in Fribourg, Switzerland.
I see some tweets saying Imran’s street power shows how the working class supports him. Let’s break this facade of a narrative down with numbers. And I am going to be very very generous to PTI here. Let’s say PTI gathered 1 lac in Karachi and lahore and 3 lac everywhere else
@SecondRingSZN
It’s embarrassing. I don’t think they even know that Muslim in China are not just Hui and Uyghurs ethnic groups. They will just sit in their bubbles and pass judgements about things they don’t fully understand.
“The fact that the petitioner took offense from a vague slogan and labeled it as blasphemy reflects his own state of mind and pattern of thought. He has alleged a very serious offense without any iota of supporting material”
The judge is a hafiz. Relieved to see religious people in Pk whose spirituality isn’t threatened at every turn. His note on freedom of expression is also heartening.

I love Pakistani anti-Americanism! It’s hypocrisy taken to perfection. The day US pulls the carpet under your feet for good, you’re totally screwed.
Bhai agar itna professionalism ki parwa hai. Let’s also talk about how unprofessional Pakistani employers are. Most employers don’t know how to write a job description. They ask weird personal questions in interviews. No transparency about pay or understanding of personal time.
I have covered this a lot. More than 80% of job applications I receive are without any write-up and just an attachment of their 6-page cv. And also, university students will call past midnight to ask if I can join them at their xyz event. It’s really sad.
There are two things that you should remember about core PTI values.
1 - Political ideology or policy is relative. Whatever Kaptan orders at any time will be followed and defended.
2- Anyone who criticizes PTI is inherently a PMLN or PPP supporter as a matter of fact.
Misbah is right. I still think this is also a narrative (not a literal fact) but as time has progressed it is proving to be true. I have wanted to resist this narrative because I saw first hand his World Cup 100 against New Zealand on a tricky pitch under enormous pressure. 1/2
Now that the grandfather discourse is on. My dada spent his entire life fighting military dictators and that’s one of the few thing he taught us. He went to jail numerous times for standing up to Zia and Musharraf. Death to fascism and authoritarianism.
I have Covid-19 symptoms so I have decided not to go the protest tomorrow as a matter of precaution. But sending love and strength to everyone going out. Stay safe and be loud.
The problem for Pakistani batting is that our approach to batting always means we need to bat well throughout 50 overs and we cannot afford a blip at all. Compare this to Australia who despite messing up the last 10 overs had already put too many on the board.
Teams Boundaries
Australia: 29 4s
19 6s
230 runs
Non-Boundary SR: 44.4
Pakistan: 34 4s
6 6's
172 runs
Non-Boundary SR: 48.9
Despite hitting just 8 less boundaries, Pakistan scored 58 less runs which increased the pressure later on and meant the RRR went too high.
Nah this is a pretty narrative being built for this World Cup. India didn’t look unbeatable in league stages at all. So this “India looked like a completely different side in league stages” isn’t true for this World Cup at least
