Dear Stephen @stephensackur context to some of the questions you put to @MIshaqDar50
You were asking him to go face the courts after he had attended over 90 vindictive hearings

Pakistan judge ‘confesses he was blackmailed to convict Nawaz Sharif’

 of a case that was decided in his favour twice already and time barred. The second time it was thrown out by the High Court. You were asking him to face not double but triple jeopardy intended only to persecute him.
. @stephensackur You do understand that Pakistanis are living in a surreal banana republic, right? The reality of the NAB that imprisons first and questions later is this:
https://t.co/xU50z8QkkI
I’m sure you are familiar with Pakistan’s history: we have had our Prime Ministers and other representatives sent to the gallows, tortured, shot to death, and exiled by the Pakistan Army. The British press & govt should not act as if it doesn’t know. @MIshaqDar50
By acting thus, you strengthen the dictators and dictatorship.
I’m amazed that the whole world knows but the British media is unaware that the case against @MIshaqDar50 is decades old one of ridiculous trumped up charges, that the military brings out of the cobwebbed cupboard, dusts it and starts all over again. Fuck time, fuck triple
jeopardy, fuck evidence, fuck all principles of justice, fuck due process that the British hold dear, but @MIshaqDar50 should submit to persecution because the Pakistani military wants to keep the field clear for its puppet Imran Khan?
. @stephensackur Are you familiar with the number of actual deaths the NAB has caused? Here is just one famous case. Ask @gabeeno

https://t.co/AmLlqnzNim
. @stephensackur Does the U.K. deport people to places where they face death for their political conscience? No. Then why is British media asking @MIshaqDar50 to go to Pakistan to face “justice”?
. @stephensackur are you aware of Pakistan’s human rights record? What the military and its puppets get up to with impunity? Here is just one specific piece from the former chair of @HRCP87 on the human rights violations of NAB
https://t.co/0tetIb3MHH NAB v human rights
. @stephensackur I’m sure you are also aware the Pakistani military abducted me - the FCO certainly does. You were asking @MIshaqDar50 to go face a trial the same military is running?

Here is @washingtonpost on how and why people are arrested in Pakistan. This one is about the incarceration of the proprietor of the largest news & media group @stephensackur
This “government” is running cases on everyone who is opposed to hybrid regime.

Take a look at what the @GdnPolitics reported on what the current junta is doing to us. We are living under martial law plus. And the British press is acting as if there is democracy and free conscience in Pakistan and asking people why
https://t.co/xci7unPOCN
they are not going back home. Honestly, I find that shameful. The press here is humiliating people in exile. That is shameful.
I am sorry I had to say all this to @stephensackur but it had to be said. The British press should not ignore political climates of foreign countries.
And as a reminder of how courts work in Pakistan, please read this too @stephensackur

THE BATTLE OF TALIKOTA and the destruction of Vijaynagar (Hampi)
26 January 1565

A tale of valor, deception and decimation.

A grim reminder that if we fail to protect our heritage, it will eventually crumble under the onslaught of "forces of anarchy".
(Elaborate thread)


This decisive battle was fought between the Vijayanagara empire and the Deccan sultanates resulting in a rout of Vijayanagara and ending the last major medieval era Hindu kingdom in south India.(1)

The seeds of 1565 encounter were sown more than 250 years earlier when the forces of the Delhi Sultanate, during the time of Alauddin Khilji and later Md Bin Tughlaq swept through southern India in an expansion spree.(2)

By middle of the 14th century, facing rebellions, Tughlaq withdrew to Delhi, leaving behind 2 empires, Bahmani, which ruled the Deccan from Kalaburagi, and Vijayanagara, which ruled most south India with its capital at Vijayanagar.(3)

The Raichur Doab, between the Krishna and Tungabhadra rivers, existed as a natural boundary between these two kingdoms, with wars often breaking out over control of this territory.(4)

A lot of bootstrappers think they have a marketing problem:

"I need to get better at marketing."

But, it's more likely that you have a product problem:

"Do customers really want this? Do they care enough about this to switch to a new solution?"

☝️ this is why most of my book, @marketingdevs, is about:

1. Choosing the right market
2. Building something they want

"If your product is remarkable, getting noticed is a lot easier." – @peldi


I was reminded of this concept again this morning while reading @pjrvs' book (Company of One):

"Sales increase when you honestly evaluate what someone needs and then teach them the value of what you're selling."


To succeed, your product has to offer an outcome that is highly desirable to a large group of customers.

The number of sales your product receives is a multiple of these two variables:

1. How big is the target market?
2. How desirable is the outcome you're offering them?

BREAKING: @CommonsCMS @DamianCollins just released previously sealed #Six4Three @Facebook documents:

Some random interesting tidbits:

1) Zuck approves shutting down platform API access for Twitter's when Vine is released #competition


2) Facebook engineered ways to access user's call history w/o alerting users:

Team considered access to call history considered 'high PR risk' but 'growth team will charge ahead'. @Facebook created upgrade path to access data w/o subjecting users to Android permissions dialogue.


3) The above also confirms @kashhill and other's suspicion that call history was used to improve PYMK (People You May Know) suggestions and newsfeed rankings.

4) Docs also shed more light into @dseetharaman's story on @Facebook monitoring users' @Onavo VPN activity to determine what competitors to mimic or acquire in 2013.

My dad led an organization of over 300,000 employees.

When I took on my biggest marketing & events team to date (35 employees) I asked him how the *heck* he did it. Here's what he said and what helped me every day. 🧵

Remember you're leading all the employees under you, but you're not *managing* them all. You're managing your direct reports, which should be 5-7 individuals max. Focus on them.

When you interact with the employees you don't manage directly, get to know them as people first, that'll be the most valuable information in leading them. Remembering everything you learn about them is hard, but doing so will make you a superhero.

If you're not going to empower the managers under you, why do you have them? If you see room for improvement, let the manager know and let them make the change on their teams and come to you with questions/concerns. This will save you SO much time.

If you're the smartest person in any room - you're doing it wrong. As a leader, your job is bringing together the best people to get the job done - your skillset is identifying those people, not being one of them.
