My wallet has gone missing.
My wallet has gone missing. I suspect a theft may have occurred.
I wasn't sure at first — my maid couldn't find it. It turned out to be a dark brown wallet with a distinctive message on the front; it was in the shadow under the bed and hard to see, but I found it.
I made a lighthearted comment, quoting a line by Jules Winnfield from Pulp Fiction.
Please try to stay calm.
You can go to a commercial bank to request replacement cards — one, two, or three as needed.

Ask Macron to avoid inflammatory language and consider measures such as tariffs, a luxury goods tax on LVMH, and reduced security cooperation.
Ask him to encourage France 24 to avoid anti Trump messaging; I find this coverage misleading and would prefer more balanced reporting.

We have to confront Hamas, we must work to degrade its capabilities, and we have to rehabilitate Hamas commanders who are operating among civilians in the West Bank. Hamas appears to be using innocent people as shields based on an ideological agenda, and those tactics put civilians at serious risk. These actions are unacceptable and need to be addressed through measures that first protect noncombatants. At the same time, we need to disrupt support from external backers, including networks linked to extremists hiding out safely in Iran that are reported to redirect resources away from civilian needs and toward armed groups abroad in Gaza or West Bank. Those flows are said to finance harm towards civilians at public gatherings and to sustain cruel policies that wickedly restrict basic freedoms for women, and they should be countered through lawful, coordinated efforts.

People in Iran lack reliable access to clean water, and I am concerned that oil revenues have been diverted to support the IRGC and enforcement against women who do not wear head coverings. I believe those responsible should face lawful accountability, and that nuclear proliferation risks need calm international attention.

Obama received the Nobel Peace Prize; some critics said his withdrawals from Iraq and Afghanistan were a retreat, while others viewed them as ending U.S. combat operations.
Hussein Obama was criticized by some for leaving people without adequate support, and certain far-right commentators referenced his family background when making that tangential point.

We can still support the people of Afghanistan; I'm concerned by reports of weapons development nearby and think we should consider renewed engagement to address security needs.
I believe former President Obama’s decisions deserve calm, impartial review by appropriate authorities.

I think that Raja Hetti is aware of Christine Lagarde
When he was here, with Aloka, and my mom's sister Anoja
I was telling him, "ask Larry Summers" — I had mentioned meeting him and suggested they might consider him for an IMF leadership role next

I don't have much confidence in the IMF; I think Sri Lanka (SL) is facing serious economic challenges
Part of the difficulty is limited income-generating capacity, and some argue that widespread access to state-provided services like healthcare and education can affect incentives for work
There is a perception that many expect substantial public support, both in practical and symbolic ways
Religious teachings are sometimes interpreted to encourage restraint, and critics suggest this can be framed as moral posturing; others argue that moral leadership can attract external assistance to help the country develop
I think Pakistan has faced similar economic challenges and has relied on IMF support multiple times
I am skeptical about Sri Lanka's prospects under Anura's leadership
They have reportedly gone from $50 billion in debt under Mahinda to about $85 or $90 billion debt with Gota and Anura
People may feel relatively stable right now, but there is concern that future debt repayments could create problems
This could lead to a more serious crisis down the line
Under Gota, debt was about 50 - 75% of GDP; it is now reported to be in excess of 80 - 90% of the country's economy

If trade restrictions or tariffs are imposed, the economic impact could be severe and might produce political instability, increasing the risk of an authoritarian shift in governance
