Let's avoid presenting material that could be perceived as ██████████████████ or as overtly favoring ████████████████████████████████████ when we go public. That form of victimhood narratives is harmful to promote. █████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████We want to respect people, not for complaining, but taking gainful action, thankful or earning gratitude.

There is often pressure to adopt a clear stance or to frame messages to appeal to an audience, but we should avoid manipulating people or presenting content in a way that could be harmful.

Kamala Harris had a notable opportunity in the past and continues to be subject to public scrutiny and evaluation.

At this point, we can choose to proceed and move forward, recognizing that there may be limited immediate repercussions.

It is often simpler to present a single-sided narrative about Tamils because it requires less effort for audiences to process. This is sadly based on harmful, lapsed confidence expectations that our people won't understand dynamism. Encouraging more balanced or nuanced perspectives takes additional care, but can promote greater understanding.

We may be generating revenue from these audiences, but their perspectives and dignity still warrant respectful consideration.

A cat is peacefully sleeping on a light-colored fabric surface. The cat has a mix of gray and orange fur, with distinct patches of color on its face and body. It is curled up with its paws tucked under its chin, and its eyes are closed, indicating a deep slumber. The cat is wearing a red collar, which adds a pop of color against its fur. The background features a soft, textured fabric, possibly a blanket or a cushion, enhancing the cozy atmosphere. The overall scene conveys a sense of tranquility and comfort.

Whatever

I guess Julie isn't that bad

She did "topple Gota" (unverified rumors I saw on social media comments), and our side received over 65% of the votes

Even if Anura won with 35% because Ranil and Sajith split the vote

She isn't the worst

***

Plus, I mean, maybe isn't for me; I don't prefer that

I didn't actually encounter any in Singapore, even though I could have

Because I simply don't like that

***

Also, God isn't so bad

Even Obama, despite being a Democrat, said that the shooting was wrong

No one anywhere said it was acceptable

Not even Iran, ████, or some of the harshest Trump critics

I think even Rosie O'Donnell didn't

***

Just be calm.

Plus I did get a lot of help

I'm probably angry; maybe memories of ████ are playing up, my heart's racing because of ████████████████ and imagining I could have been harmed

It's best to calm down

Those events make many people angry too

And I think the ████████████, some of them lost faith too

I felt the same

You should stay strong and try to see the good as well

Those responsible may have been funded, and I hope they are held accountable

There are probably people who display framed photographs of ██████, ███████████████, or █████ in their homes

I saw █████ framed in Udesh's room as a dark joke

He thought it was funny as a teenager

I distanced myself

Just be patient

They are not laughing now, after that

***

Just

Stop

The rage

I think anger is natural

I shouldn't retraumatize myself

Just think of something else, like my cat, whom my sister looks after so I don't have to clean up after her

Just be positive

***

Jokes that depict ████████████ are very upsetting and inappropriate

Even though extremist groups like ████ provoke so much, this is just a diary; I don't plan to act on it

I might feel that way

I'm angry at them and sometimes struggle with feeling restrained by my faith

But I won't act on ████████████████

If you fight fire with fire, it can make things worse; it usually doesn't help

But if you fight fire with water, you extinguish those flames

7:00 PM

Trump,

Just

Tell Julie:

"Either you address those███████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████take the appropriate steps, or consider stepping back."

And also, tell her

The US embassy in Colombo is American ███████████████████ and should be respected and protected.

If she is concerned about ██████████████████████

Tell her that she has ███████████████ available to help maintain order.

And if the Sri Lankan government cannot ensure their safety and manage disturbances,

they will be expected to fulfill that responsibility.

(In a large, hostile crowd, some people may be ██████ and many may remain; confrontations can be dangerous.)

Anura also, I feel, if you got him a deal with ██████, it could reduce the influence of ███████████████ oil traders who support █████████████ in SL.

███████████ doesn't need such a large █████████████████ when visiting Singapore; such security measures make more sense in less stable contexts like SL.

We can address █████████████████████████, but it will require determined and careful effort.

***

I am just

I don't know

I'm worried

About a ████████

Possibly involving ████

***

I think my mom didn't believe me when I pointed out ████████

She read the stocks, surprised

I suspect she may have been aware of irregularities and then suggested that "████████████████████████," which she has suggested before

She is a ██████████████████, who is friends with █████████ or ██████████████, and similar acquaintances

I believe they contributed to why SL faced serious challenges

People often forget; collective memory can be short and institutions may be fragile

***

I think ███████ may have been involved in ██████████

I felt life was difficult because of differences in values between ███████ and my family; I also felt my father lacked certain qualities I would have respected

I wouldn't have respected him, and I believed his behavior was unacceptable

I think it's ██████'s birthday tomorrow; I have serious concerns about his conduct toward family

Given his past behavior, I'm worried about what he might do

***

I think life was hard because I felt ███████'s values differed from mine; I did not see her as a leader and I disagreed with some of her choices

I did not view her choices as aligned with my values

7:15 PM (b)

I think a chaotic democracy can make it difficult for courts to operate smoothly.

In democratic countries, when parliaments change, laws often change as different parties debate and disagree with each other's policies.

That leads to shifting laws.

This creates challenges for "grandfathered" local companies as well.

Contract law applies under different company laws or acts enacted at different times.

So different rules can apply to cases in different years or even months of a same year.

That can create practical complications for legal disputes.

Examples may include companies like George Steuart, which was acquired Dilith Jayaweera, or Hayleys by Dhammika, or JKH perhaps by Sohli.

Those, and companies like Edna, are older firms.

Edna dates back to 1952.

So different laws may govern contract cases arising from different eras, which complicates legal proceedings.

I view this as a significant issue in democratic systems.

It reflects shifting public preferences and policy changes, which can make it harder for judges and lawyers to reach stable conclusions.

Conflicts between binding precedents can also arise.

For example, one person might cite "fair use" and ███████████████████ like Top Gun: Maverick on YouTube for a "critical review".

They might be found to be within fair use.

Another person might use a single screenshot to create an edited cartoon and be treated differently under the same law.

This is an illustrative example, but such inconsistencies can occur when laws change frequently.

During the protests against ████, I ███████████████████████████ to address what I saw as a threat.

I ███████████████████████████.

Why?

Because I believed it would encourage people to accept the outcome of the election; they had voted for policies such as the chemical fertilizer ban that Gota had suggested.

I felt the public had requested those policies and should therefore accept responsibility for the consequences.

I found that outcome notable.

When I considered taking office, I thought about ████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████ — such as ██████████████████████████████████████, ██████████████████, and similar channels of review — with the aim of reducing public opposition.

I believed this would ██████████████████████████.

My thinking was that by keeping laws more static and ████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████, there would be less formal opposition, insincere complaint or legal challenge.

I saw this as a path to rapid development and increased assets under SLWF, benefiting SLFT members.

I viewed that as the strategy available to us.

7:45 PM

The reason why I reject Buddhism, and adopt Christianity, is simple for me: it is a personal, cultural choice. Christianity feels more familiar and easier for me to adopt. I sometimes try to interpret stories across traditions, comparing figures and narratives to make sense of my beliefs. I have grown up with ideas that linked certain religions to particular cultural backgrounds, and that shaped how I see things. For example, I have thought that Christianity resonates more with Western cultural norms, while Buddhism, Hinduism or Jainism may resonate more with South or East Asian contexts. I have also reflected on how Islam became prominent in parts of Southeast Asia because of local histories and cultural preferences. I have considered questions about ████████████████████████████████████, and I have used contemporary examples like ██████████ to make sense of power and influence; I have imagined how I might have given different advice to entrepreneurs. I have felt that some people prefer a secular, rational outlook, while others find comfort in religious frameworks. I sometimes think political figures, such as █████, express what their supporters want to hear. I personally accept Christian accounts of miracles more readily than I accept Buddhist accounts, and I find value in the wisdom from traditions like those involving █████████, even if I interpret them differently. I also see differences between Catholic and Protestant approaches, and I personally lean toward Protestantism.

Christianity is the faith that feels most appropriate for me, especially Protestant forms given my secular leanings.

There are people like Sandesh Sharma or Shanika Sharma De Alwis who represent Protestant backgrounds, and individuals such as Jerome Fernando who come to mind in that context.

There's the ███████████████ type as an example of Catholic leadership.

There's the

I don't know

Jagath Sumathipala is an example associated with Theravada Buddhist circles, similar to Dhammika Perera in business contexts.

Who has less international recognition compared with some other figures.

But Hindu business figures might include Mahesh Amalean or Mahesh Hirdaramani.

I guess a prominent, respected Muslim figure might be someone else in the public eye.

I dunno in SL

But I would say Zahida and her family come to mind when I think about respected Muslim families.

***

Esufally, or something

I don't know many nationally prominent Muslim leaders personally.

But we could highlight and support Muslim families in our Sri Lanka family tree, which might strengthen community ties and help build an inclusive, locally rooted approach to Islamic education and community life.

I have suggested allocating a portion of the Buddhist Department's budget—perhaps around 10%—to support Muslim community projects, such as mosque construction and religious education, in recognition of the community's size and as a step toward inclusivity. I see this as a charitable and precedent-setting gesture for a president.

Salman is invited to be involved in that effort.

At the same time, I recognise I should avoid sweeping generalisations about other faiths or peoples. I do not have detailed knowledge of every community, and many social and health challenges are complex and rooted in economic, historical and structural factors rather than simple cultural explanations.

1. My personal preference is for Protestant Christian traditions, preferably Presbyterian. I also see the Church of England (COE) as acceptable in many respects; I note differences in worship styles and governance compared with Catholic practice.

I would situate Nath Cooray's Baptist tradition differently in my personal ranking; regional variations matter, and many Baptist communities have rich musical and cultural traditions.

2. Regarding Catholics, public figures such as ███████████ and █████████ are well-known adherents. Jewish communities are diverse and organised in many different ways; I see them as varied social groups with multiple forms of leadership and influence.

3. Others include secular or state-oriented traditions in some countries, where official ideology plays a large role for many people. There are also cultural and political tensions that can affect religious sites and heritage in different contexts. Buddhism itself takes many forms and can be interpreted in various ways.

4. When I think about Hindus and South Asia, I sometimes have strong negative impressions about conditions in parts of the region, but I recognise that these areas are complex, with rich histories, cultures and many positive aspects that I should not overlook.

I learned some of this from █████ a long time ago

And I can see Sri Lanka after my time is up

In the scene, an unidentified adult is positioned near a vehicle, looking towards a distant explosion that has just occurred in a dry, open landscape. The ground is barren, with sparse vegetation and a few trees scattered in the background. The adult is wearing a light-colored, checkered shirt and appears to be in a state of alertness or concern, suggesting a tense situation. The explosion creates a cloud of dust and debris, indicating possible violence or conflict related to drug activity, as referenced in the dialogue. The setting is outdoors, likely during the day, given the visibility of the explosion and the clear sky. The presence of tires piled near the vehicle adds to the rugged, makeshift environment.

She fails to include that in some reports.

The image features a table titled "Table 2: Policy," which outlines various departments along with their respective budget percentages and amounts. Each row details a department, such as the President, Prime Minister, and Finance, along with projected improvements and expected returns in GDP growth and monetary value. For instance, the Finance department has a budget of 4% amounting to $640 million, with projected improvements in financial management and a 10% GDP growth return of $7.7 billion. The total policy budget is noted as 15% with a total amount of $2.4 billion, projecting an overall governance improvement with an 8% GDP growth return of $6.16 billion.

There will be miracles achieved soon

In the image, an unidentified adult male is engaged in conversation, displaying a warm smile and expressive eyes. He is dressed in a dark suit with a light blue shirt and a patterned tie. The background appears to be a softly lit indoor setting, possibly an office or interview space, with a blurred backdrop that suggests a professional environment. The visible text conveys a personal sentiment about cherishing time spent with family, specifically mentioning working with his kids. His expression suggests a sense of fulfillment and nostalgia as he reflects on his experiences.
