Immense planning and technical precision was required for this absolutely preposterous (but real) view: I captured my friend @BlackGryph0n transiting the sun during a skydive.
This might be the first photo of it's kind in existence. See a video of this moment in the reply 👇

With sadness: @PlushDragon_ passed away today. She had some trouble with her heart.
One of the last things she posted on IG was this poem. Let it be my eulogy to her. She was a kind and stalwart friend, a generous teacher, one hell of an adventurer, and she will be missed.

3D makes UI more intuitive and engaging!
I recently had the opportunity to share how our team leverages 3D in mobile development (using React Native and @expo) to build the @Starlink app.
We’re always looking for excellent engineers (in the US) from a variety of backgrounds to join the Starlink user experience team.

Dear @dialoglk I never consented to having my personal information used by these politicians. We need a global, subscriber level opt out, not the current, impractical port level block. Ideally this should be a violation of the Data Protection Act.

🚨 Scam Alert - Beware of WhatsApp Scammers! 🚨
Just received a call from a foreigner involved in the WhatsApp scam currently circulating in Sri Lanka. He claimed to be hosting a meeting with NPP in Colombo and asked me to join via group call. Then, he told me to share the "code" displayed on my screen to join – but this was actually my WhatsApp OTP!
⚠️ Remember: If you share this OTP, your WhatsApp account can be hacked instantly, potentially being used for financial scams.
Please do not share your OTP or verification codes with anyone, no matter what they say

We have something interesting for you.
Ever wanted to grow your own food? Maybe just to have some spices available, maybe so you have wider variety on your plate? Maybe we don't want a repeat of 2022?

The PTA is a terrible law. The call for repeal is steeped in a call to
- end abuse of power,
- end laws that create unchecked presidential/police power, &
- end impunity
Repealing it is a commitment to accountability, to change and to 'never again'.

For those asking me why they didn't see stories about illegal foreigner-run businesses in 'The Sunday Times', it's because you didn't read. Check, too, the posts after this one.
I'm trying not to swear. #SriLanka
We will write more articles on the many facets of this problem in coming weeks:
More and more foreigners on tourist visas are setting up unauthorised businesses on #SriLanka’s Southern and Eastern coasts, operating freely outside of the tax net.

This kind of candid and transparent communication should be appreciated. This is how industry associations should communicate instead of playing down situations fooling themselves, or closed door deals followed by diluted statements that serves no purpose.

This is bad by everyone. But especially AKD.
🚨 Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 presidential candidates miss election finance filing deadline!
⭕ All four leading candidates—Anura Dissanayake, Ranil Wickremesinghe, Sajith Premadasa, and Namal Rajapaksa—fail to declare thier election expenditures by the required deadline.
⭕ This is the first time Sri Lanka set a campaign expenditure limit under the Election Expenditure Act No. 3 of 2023, capping expenses at Rs. 109 per voter, totaling Rs. 1,868.3 million ($6 million).
⭕ Only 13 of the 38 candidates have submitted financial reports by Friday.
⭕ Candidates were required to submit within 21 days, detailing donations & media spending etc.
⭕ According to the current act a candidate violating the Act could face a maximum fine of Rs 100,000, suspension of civic rights for three years.
⭕ The Election Commission initially proposed a 7-year suspension of civic rights to prevent candidates from running again in the next election, but this did not make it into the Act.

The creatures of the swamp who benefited from the cronyism now find themselves in a lonely situation. No more selfies with influential people. No more access. So, what can they do to muddy the waters? Let’s find something to undermine/ridicule the application of the rule of law. Fuck any journalistic resp of holding public officials accountable and focus on whether the vehicle is “luxury”, a fact that is not relevant either way.
