Solipsistic Meanderings » 2022

Ah, the endless @DullasOfficial vs. @RW_UNP debate … We are back to the oft-seen, oft-repeated "lesser of two evils" (or is that weevils?) debate … We've gone down this path so many times, and yet, here we are again.
I am convinced that we never learn. And never will. 11:43:01

Now that @RW_UNP has solved all the problems in Sri Lanka, he’s ready to solve the problems of the world?
This sounds a lot like the second-coming of @GotabayaR since he too was very fond of giving advice to all and sundry … https://t.co/6Kfkgpif4f 13:41:37

After "Koombiyo", "Koodallo" (කූඩැල්ලෝ) https://t.co/orhoziKY7n should be the new favourite Sri Lankan drama …
The sucked-dry apple is Sri Lanka, I'll let you guess who the leeches are … https://t.co/7hL2c7jsEY 09:47:20

Hmm … so @GotabayaR
is so “under pressure” that maybe he’s soiled his pants and needs new pants after landing in Singapore? Could that be it?

According to Najees … sorry, I mean Nasheed, @GotabayaR was fearful of losing his life. What about those who were in fear of losing their lives due to Gota? How come Nasheed never spoke for them?
Why do politicians value other politicians' lives over those of the people? https://t.co/SFgJdXgoLi 09:43:12
If you have access to DALLE-2 ( https://t.co/LVdVQvFfHt ) or are simply interested in AI generated images, this book is a really interesting read 🙂
If you’re working with DALLE-2, this is sure to give you new inspiration. https://t.co/HA5Nz5OkaS 13:38:32
Wow, with all his announcements regarding re-enacting the 19th Amendment, banning “his excellency” and what not, @RW_UNP almost sounds reasonable …
Haven’t we heard all (or at least some) of these promises before?

Isn’t this how they get you? You think this time’s the charm? 14:12:51
Surprise, surprise! And who didn't see this one coming? If you didn't, and thought they were going to select the "person best suited", well, they did. They selected the one best suited for *them*, but not the country.
Ah, well … The betrayals continue. https://t.co/1pl1zjZY78 17:17:13

Speaking of gullibility, I keep seeing people on Twitter saying “The Aragalaya is no longer peaceful.”
Now why would you believe that the Aragalaya is one cohesive organization? People are protesting in their own ways. Some peaceful, some not. Some have agendas. All true. 08:01:22
Neither @GotabayaR nor @RW_UNP care for the country.
Gota wants to save himself and will hang on to the presidency till he’s safe.

Ranil, will then hang onto it for dear life since all he craves is power.

Two leeches with their separate agendas. 08:35:54
Who cares that Gota is “under a lot of pressure”? Did Gota care that most of the people in Sri Lanka were under a lot of pressure for years under his idiotic and half-assed rule?
https://t.co/kRTwAMxJx2 11:21:45
Gota is apparently under so much pressure from being flown to the Maldives, living in a five-star resort, and now making plans to fly to Singapore that he can’t write one tiny resignation letter.
And yet, he found time enough to appoint Ranil acting prez amidst all the pressure. 11:24:26
So Gota is so scared of just facing up to everything he’s done, and possibly having “common” people accosting him, that he has to fly via private jet to Singapore.
Who’s paying for all of this?

One constant you can expect from Sri Lankan politicians is that they will latch on to power like a leech … But then again, given that all of @RW_UNP career has been a matter of clinging on for dear life and never letting go, why would people have expected anything different? 13:16:56
It has been one lie after another from @RW_UNP always. He said:
* He'll step down as leader of UNP
* He won't take parliament seat via national list
* He will resign

All lies. He just relies on people's short memories. And we let him. Every. Single. Bloody. Time. 13:25:42
Sri Lanka seems to be going through a whole Mahavamsa-ful of history in the matter of weeks/months. Shades of King Valagamba and now possibly Yassalalaka Tissa showing up. How come we've not learnt from our own history? Memories are too short I guess … 14:19:04
Hmm … what new stratagem will @RW_UNP come up with now? Not that I attribute a lot of cunning to him like some do, but a cornered rat will bite, won't he? Or will he finally give up his death-grip on the seat of power? 20:09:41

"Vikram" (விக்ரம்) https://t.co/U03eAWd93Q looks really good so far. Haven't been able to take my eyes off the screen as the story progresses. A bit long since I'm still only halfway through but enjoying it a lot so far.
Brings back memories watching the first one back then. 20:18:51

"Ayngaran" (ஐங்கரன்) https://t.co/MYFdDLjyBX started slow, then picked up and became interesting, but then became very stupid in one instant. Maybe you'll know the instant I'm talking about, or maybe you won't … but I haven't finished watching it yet … So let's see 🙂 16:42:26
