BREAKING: EU imposes sanctions against 'extremist' Israeli settlers and organisations in occupied West Bank 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.news/98d1k0?update=46081…

Every word of this tweet is still applicable. When these two squirm this hard, it's clear that the investigation is now moving in the right direction. 👇🏻 👇🏻 👇🏻 #SriLanka #AccountabilityProjectLK x.com/i/status/2026592044060…

A clear sign that the investigation is finally getting somewhere is when Rohan Gunaratna gets excited. When the chief architect of the "nothing to see here, it's just ISIS" narrative starts to write articles, it probably means the inquiry has stepped outside the safe boundaries that they were happy with all these years. That goes for Ali Sabry too. #SriLanka #AccountabilityProjectLK

The future is bleak for Israel. As boomers die off, a new generation that despises Israelis will run the world. A generation that sees the Palestinian cause as central to their moral identity. A generation inoculated against propaganda and unfazed by being called antisemitic.

Transport, Highways, Ports and Civil Aviation Minister Bimal Rathnayake says decades of corruption within the Department of Motor Traffic (DMT) played a major role in creating the country’s driving licence issuance crisis, while insisting the backlog is now being cleared. D: newswire.lk/nxnl

This is a super exciting release - Claude Fable 5 is the same underlying model as Mythos but with added safeguards. The benchmarks are great and it's SOTA on everything by a margin but I'll add that *qualitatively* also, this is a major-version-bump-deserving step change forward (imo of the same order as Claude 4.5 was in November), peaking especially for long problem-solving sessions on very difficult problems. You can give it a lot more ambitious tasks than what you're used to, the model "gets it" and it will just go, and it's never felt this tempting to stop looking at the code at all (but don't do this in prod!). The model still has quirks that people will run into and the safeguards are configured to be a little too trigger happy for launch, which can hopefully be tuned over time. I feel a lot of things changing as working software increasingly comes out on a tap. The Jevon's paradox kicks in and I feel my own demand for software growing substantially. You can ask for anything - explainers, visualizers, dashboards, bespoke single-use apps (e.g. a full wandb that is hyper-specific just for your project), you can 10X your test suite, auto-optimize code, run giant research projects with custom HTML for the results, anything! "Free your mind" (Matrix ref). Really looking forward to all the things people build!

The level of thrashing, squirming and crying by political hacks, racists and downright assholes tells me that we are close to the end game. Parading family members now, just shows me their lack of humanity for the families of the vitims of not just the Easter bombings but also PTA victims through the years. Didn't they have families too? Mothers, fathers, siblings and children. Didn't any of them deserve this kind of outcry? Suddenly a whole lot of racists and hacks who was indifferent to the suffering of others have suddenly found their humanity? Give me a fucking break. Anyway... Shall we #RepealPTA now? #SriLanka #AccountabilityProjectLK

Plenty of hysteria for Suresh Sallay and when you see where it is coming from I think the motives are clear and obvious... At least for me. Where are the protests and outraged statements from these same politicians, commentators and bad-faith actors for the hundreds who were murdered on Easter Sunday? Do those victims and their kin not deserve answers and closure? Let me also be clear... The PTA is a terrible law and should be repealed. I opposed it when it was used against poets, comedians, students, activists, lawyers and ordinary citizens. I oppose it now. Whether it is Hejaaz Hizbullah, Ahnaf Jazeem, a protester, or Suresh Sallay, the principle is the same. No one should be subjected to a law that allows prolonged detention and abuse of due process. The irony, however, is hard to ignore. Many of the people now demanding due process for Sallay had very little to say when others were denied it. Hejaaz Hizbullah was detained for 10 months without meaningful judicial oversight and 22 months overall. Countless PTA detainees spent years imprisoned without charge. There were no press conferences, no outrage, or passionate defences of civil liberties or their health concerns. Sallay has already had access to lawyers, judges and a functioning legal process as he and every detainee should. But none of this changes the fact that there are serious questions that investigators appear to be pursuing. According to what has emerged through court proceedings and ongoing investigations, the focus now appears to include: • Witness statements obtained by CID. • Evidence from Channel 4 whistleblower Azad Maulana. • Alleged communications with individuals connected to the Easter attacks. • The "Sonic-Sonic" intelligence-linked Telegram communications. • The "Alpha" line of inquiry concerning intelligence intermediaries and contacts. • Alleged intelligence links to suspects who were released or protected prior to Easter. • Questions surrounding post-attack conduct, including possible obstruction and evidence suppression. • The broader network of relationships between intelligence actors and individuals connected to the bombers. Whether these allegations stand up in court remains to be seen and that is what investigations are for. What is amazing is how quickly some people want the investigation itself discredited before the evidence is heard. Who wanted make Hejaaz the mastermind? Why was it so important to establish a narrative that Sarah Jasmine was dead? Who benefited from those assumptions? These questions are not conspiracy theories and they arise directly from the gaps, contradictions and unexplained decisions that have surrounded this investigation for seven years. The Easter attacks were not just a terrorist atrocity. They were also one of the greatest intelligence and investigative failures in the country's history. If investigators are finally moving beyond the bombers and into the networks, contacts, decisions and actions that surrounded them before and after April 21, then that is exactly where they should be looking. The victims deserve nothing less than the absolute truth no matter where it may lead or whose feet will ultimately be held to the fire. #SriLanka #JusticeForEasterAttack #AccountabilityProjectLK

1. They parked a police car outside my house intimidating my wife. 2. They called her a terrorist. 3. Threatened to arrest her multiple times. 4. Didn’t grant her security clearance so she had to get monthly extensions on her visa. And of course no coverage on Daily Mirror.

If he is innocent, Salley must stay strong and fight his case. That’s what we did. We prayed, exercised, read, met our lawyers and fought our cases. Salley who detained us knows that the conditions for us were worse than what it is for him. #EasterSundayattacks

Rule changes for the SpaceX $SPCX IPO: Index providers waived the profitability requirement and cut the seasoning window from 90 days to 5. This forces over $30 trillion in passive 401k and retirement money to buy SpaceX at IPO valuations. Bloomberg Intelligence estimates S&P 500 funds must absorb 19% of SpaceX's float within 6 months. Russell 1000 and Nasdaq 100 funds will absorb 24%. The rules built to protect passive investors: 1. S&P 500 has required 12 months of trading and 4 quarters of GAAP profitability since 2002. Both waived. 2. Nasdaq cut its inclusion window from 90 trading days to 15. 3. FTSE Russell cut its to 5. All three benchmarks are now structured to buy SpaceX at IPO pricing.

The SpaceX IPO is reallying going to be the first domino that takes everything down. >S&P 500 rules are waved to fast track SpaceX into the fund >Mutual Funds will be forced to buy SpaceX stock using retirement funds & 401ks >SpaceX is now tied to Xai which is losing a shitton of money >Xai is tied to Nvidia >Nvidia is tangled into every AI company in existence and we're already seeing cracks And on top of all of this we have the dumbest administration of all time that's going to do a rug pull with the whole thing.

This is dire... but not a surprise. We have built a system that routinely fails victims of abuse. Recently, a friend was physically assaulted by her husband. When she went to the police and made a complaint, the response was for the policewoman to call the husband and ask him to take her home because men are seen as the head of the household. That entrenched misogyny meant she was asked to be patient, think of the children, and try to work things out... and this was after she had been battered. The case is still going nowhere, and she remains trapped in that home, still living with a violent and unpredictable man. So when people ask why there is outrage when children allege abuse, this is why... If grown women can't get protection from a system steeped in misogyny and power imbalances, what chance does a child have? Then add another layer.. the reverence and protection afforded to religious institutions. Those children are not just fighting an individual abuser but an entire system. That is why people are angry, why I am angry. That is why this has touched a nerve throughout the country. Anyone who feels that this is an attack on the institution of Buddhism needs to rethink their worldview. It is the abuser who is denigrating the religion, not those asking for accountability on behalf of voiceless children. #SriLanka #AccountabilityProjectLK #SystemChangeLK

I am used to vile insidious nonsense coming from politicians. But a lawyer uttering words like this, normalising a heinous depraved act is loathsome. #SriLanka #AccountabilityProjectLK

Prosecutors are now directly alleging former intelligence chief Suresh Sallay plotted 2019 Easter Sunday suicide attacks to serve political interests of Rajapaksa family. Testimony by Pillaiyan’s former secretary, Hanzeer Azad Maulana, is key & will be essential in any trial.

Testimony ruled "unreliable" because a 13 year old child's recollection of abuse was "inconsistent". Verdict may be right, but this means we need to either keep all children away from clergy, or conduct a substantial purge of the clergy.

Despite govt claims that no importer had prior knowledge of the customs duty surcharge, it is clear that the $23m worth of LCs opened a day before the surcharge was highly unusual, considering the daily average is $8m. @murtazaj suggests backdating by 2 days to solve the problem.
