Shrey spelling 32 words in 90 seconds to win the Spelling Bee is the new greatest athletic accomplishment of 2026. I don’t even know how he said the letters that fast. Got a “Holy Mackerel” out of

Sri lankans will question credentials of qualified women to no end but will not bat an eye at the dozens of griffters, holding state advisory positions while parading non existent doctorates.

I have a BA in design from the University of Northumbria, a post grad in gender studies from the university of Colombo (FGS), and a pending MA with the same. You’re more than welcome to check for verification with any of the above 🙂

The @OceanswellOrg team! I started as a deckhand and the only Sri Lankan aboard the R/V Odyssey expedition in 2003 and today I’m the lead scientist and was able to bring aboard 5 of my students on board. @Greenpeace SouthAsia

Venus had a moon called Zoozve. Huh, I thought. Never heard of that.
ALT Close up of the poster. You see a bit of the sun on the right. Mercury going around the sun. Venus going around the sun behind it. Next to Venus a dot with a label: ZOOZVE.

Yes, most journalists of color have seen this in the @nytimes. Unscientific, bigoted, and also just really awful writing. Curious to know how many editors signed off on this

one of the reasons our collective knowledge of the early years of conflict in Sri Lanka, especially through the late 1970s through the 80s/90s, is extraordinarily poor is because of the intense regime of censorship put in place by the UNP government.

A sweeping investigation into prison labor tied hundreds of millions of dollars to hundreds of popular foods brands.
Prisoners are largely uncompensated and are often excluded from protections.

When organizations desire "diversity," it is important to remember that they typically want a "palatable diversity" or an "assimilable diversity."
They do not want "diversity" that fundamentally challenges the status quo.

There’s probably no one out there who doesn’t know this little orange fish! Fondly called ‘Nemo’ after its character’s name in the film ‘Finding Nemo’, clownfish can be found within the venomous tentacles of sea anemone. Find out more in this week’s #MarineMegafaunaMonday!

By the way, media people can be charged for their role in atrocity crimes. In the Rwandan case I mention above, Félicien Kabuga is on trial. He was a chief financier of Radio Télévision Libre des Mille Collines.

IMF, or International Monetary Fund, has stood firm on practices that hinder the economic development of nations in the Global South. Sadly, it has been happening for decades now.
