Inverting the aggressor and the victim, the BBC’s headline read: “Iran attacks US targets in Middle East after four reportedly killed at wedding celebration.”

We need to dismantle deceptive narrative structures employed, highlighting how the BBC’s obscuring of the perpetrator of the wedding bombing resulted in framing that implicitly casts Iran as the primary aggressor, while masking a fatal American attack behind passive voice and deflection.

“The US just deliberately bombed an Iranian wedding party, but somehow the BBC has managed to make Iran sound like the aggressor,” he added.

Other social media users widened their criticisms to condemn the BBC as an institution. “The BBC is completely owned by Isr*el,” alleged u/Fx1Jonny.

Accusing the mainstream media of being participants in the G*za gnocide and the illegal war against Iran, user u/SiennaSnowQueen called out the framing tactics of legacy journalists who “haven’t woken up to the fact that people see [their] tricks”.

This is why a more appropriate headline would be: “Four k*lled by US bombing of wedding celebration in Iran”

Agree or not?

An interesting thought experiment you may want to engage in sharing your strongest opinion about Pakistan or Pakistanis you think everyone gets wrong.

In 1902, Theodor Herzl (Father of Zionism) sought to convince the British Empire to carve out a territory within in for a Jewish State. Cyprus was ruled out because there were white people there. The Zionists needed to find a territory not inhabited by white people.

Those Crimes committed by the British back then set the path for the coming Armageddon.

A Nikkei investigation found that Alphabet, Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, and Oracle have $1.65 trillion in debt that doesn't appear on their balance sheets, more than the $1.35 trillion they officially report. These are GPU contracts, data center leases, and joint ventures that don't count as debt under accounting rules until the facilities go live. Meta's hidden debt is $420 billion, triple its reported debt. Oracle's grew 30-fold in four years.

Since discovered almost 8 years ago, my kids would seek going to Mangoes Orchards and Tubewell showers every two years when we visit Multan. May not be a big deal for many local residents but they are absolute thrill which swimming pools just don't have. Pretty cheap deal too.

Cousin marriage: 1991 vs 2018
National rate barely moved: 62.93% → 64.15% (+1.2pp in 27 years) - no meaningful decline despite two-and-a-half decades of urbanization, education expansion, and media penetration.

I have been arguing with Pakistanis and westerners all this while that Cousin Marriages are on decline. this was just based on anecdotes as none of my 5 siblings married into family or even 2nd cousins and my own circle of friends but Gallup Survey put me wise. This isn't the first time, now I realize. https://gallup.com.pk/post/35034 and https://dhsprogram.com/publications/publication-FR354-DHS-Final-Reports.cfm

There are still many Pakistanis who proudly say they don't like any politician because they are all corrupt. May be so. I am not a big fan of Zardari either but PPP elected through votes and political participation is better than an army Brigade whom no one elects and can single-handedly raid and abduct any Prime Ministers whenever they want.

I love my bureaucracy. So effective, so efficient and so respectful towards the people they get their mofucking wealth from

Industry experts increasingly describe data as the biggest bottleneck in robotics and automation. Unlike large language models such as ChatGPT or Gemini, which were trained on vast quantities of text available online, robots require first-person recordings of physical work.

Companies collecting egocentric footage say the future may require hundreds of millions – and potentially billions – of hours of human activity filmed across factories, warehouses, shops and homes before robots can reliably navigate real-world environments.

India is fast becoming a crucial hub in the global race to collect egocentric data. Sensing the opportunity, a growing ecosystem of firms, including Humyn AI, FPV Labs, Micro1, Egodata, Neocambrian, XP Robotics, Objectways, Scale AI and CynLr, has emerged to build data pipelines for robotics companies.

Some may question or wonder the visual and artistic choice of illustrations here so, to each their own. I am very happy to have discovered this today because he does belong to the land of Hayao Miyazaki, Akira Kurosawa and others whose work was as profound and universal as NFAK sb delivered. Someone who doesn't know/like music/NFAK/desi culture, please find another post, I guess and my apologies if you do.
