- "In the new and final season of Andor, an occupied civilian population is massacred; their cries for help ignored by the Empire-run media, which instead paint the victims as terrorist threats to public safety." www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...
- This sucks big time, especially given the buyer.
- Sri Lanka's Wishque went from "the breach was only a test database" to "actually, some customer data got out too" in a day. Still, a better response than most suppose. But it probably wasn't the best idea to wait a month to disclose. readme.lk/wishque-hack...

- This matcha chocolate cake I had at a Belgian dessert cafe in Melbourne. I still think about it sometimes.
- With all the talk of digitalization and the impact of projects like GovPay in Sri Lanka, I figured it apt to take a peak at the country's postal service. Despite the efforts to modernize, Sri Lanka Post feels decades behind where it should be in 2025. readme.lk/sri-lanka-po...
- Hello sunny weather
- Uber has officially expanded its Women Rider Preference feature to Sri Lanka. This means women drivers can opt in to accept ride requests only from women on the platform. Kind of an overdue feature given this has been around since at least 2019. But better late than never. readme.lk/women-driver...
- Great, I've become one of them now
- I totally got this for the scent. Yup.
- Look what showed up on the New York Public Library website @vajra.me

- My list of "stuff to cook when you miss home" is growing at a steady pace. This week, it's Sri Lankan black pork curry🤤

- This is what you get when the likes of Ranil walk into a prepared interviewer for once. What a trainwreck. Also, @mehdirhasan.bsky.social bringing up Ranil Rajapaksa right in front of his face *chef kiss*

- Sri Lanka's GovPay platform looks pretty promising as a single point for everything payment-related around government services. I just hope the rest of the government's digital infrastructure gets a similar upgrade. readme.lk/icta-govpay-...
- It's funny knowing that people are spending a few dollars every year just for the simple reason of redirecting a tiny portion of Sajith Premadasa and Gotabaya Rajapaksa's web traffic to Hiru TV and the Department of Prisons. I think that's beautiful.

- Nothing says tourists have acclimated to Sri Lankan weather quite like a half-naked Russian drying his clothes on the Hikkaduwa railway platform while chatting with the locals like it's a typical Tuesday.
- Did Nothing really launch in Sri Lanka? Right now, the answer seems to be somewhere between 🤷♂️ and 🤔 readme.lk/nothing-sri-...
