Sebastian Vettel, on receiving a reprimand at the Hungarian #F1 Grand Prix, having worn a rainbow t-shirt saying โ€˜Same Loveโ€™: โ€œIโ€™m happyโ€ฆthey can disqualify me. They can do whatever they want to me, I donโ€™t care. I would do it again.โ€ Thatโ€™s how leadership looks. ๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€โšง๏ธ

The people(who havenโ€™t even watched the film) objecting to #Joyland are privileged hypocrites who travel Internationally & benefit from the exposure they now seek to deny Pakistani audiences. Fix it

Joyland needs to be released for a week before Nov 30 deadline for it to be eligible for Oscars this year. This is/was our best shot and the censor board is jeopardising it by listening to hypocrites who havenโ€™t even seen the film. Thereโ€™s still time though: #ReleaseJoyland

Max says he will help checo in AD. Iโ€™m confused. Checo and Charles are level on points. If checo is ahead of Charles, no problem. If checo is behind Charles, what does he plan to do? Take Charles out? Actually never mind, thatโ€™s probably exactly what heโ€™ll do

And while Max is every bit a deserving two time champion he showed today he has much to learn about what it is to be a team leader. For everything Checo has done to help his cause, todayโ€™s result means nothing to Max in the wider view. Disrespected his teammate and his team.

The one consistent thing about Pakistan and Pakistanis is that this country will always find a way to ban, condemn or hate on everything joyful, creative or life affirming that happens in it or to it.

1. Why was the censor boardโ€™s approval of JOYLAND 17 August 2022 reversed a week before release? 2. Why were complaints by people who havenโ€™t seen the film accepted? 3. Is violence in films approved by the censor in line with our โ€œmoral standardsโ€? #ReleaseJoyland

#ReleaseJoyland - it was already cleared for screening by the CFBC in August. We deserve to have access to our art, to narratives that celebrate life and love and make us think. Who is so afraid here, and of what?!

Can our cinema please, for once, not be held hostage by what seems to be an entirely arbitrary Ordinance? There seems to be no issue with hyperviolence, regressive themes, adult jokes and content, overt sexualisation onscreen...but trans representation is where we draw the line?

This is a battle for the soul of Pakistan. If you want to live in tolerant progressive society, remaining silent is criminal at this point and will make you complicit. Inshallah this film will release, and these bigots will fail. #ReleaseJoyland

Thereโ€™s a paid smear campaign doing rounds against #Joyland, a film that made history for Pakistani cinema, got passed by all censor boards but now authorities are caving into pressure from some malicious people who have not even seen the film. #ReleaseJoyland @MoIB_Official

Joyland won the Grand Jury prize at Cannes Film Festival - the worldโ€™s most prestigious film festival. It is Pakistanโ€™s official submission to the Oscars and has won at London Film Festival, Toronto International Film Festival, Cairo International Film Festival etc.

Are we having daily podcast episodes with the alleged attacker now? Who is in custody of this man and who is releasing these friendly 'get-to-know-him-better' videos? Never seen any of these for terror-accused who've been arrested in the past.

Congratulations! Now I am pissed. I don't expect you to actually understand any of what I am about to say. Or even read it for that matter. But since you really think you are having a gotcha moment by squeezing in as many politically correct buzzwords, here is a response.

Baaji, Tate ki dunya se bahir ajao. a sex offender, pro-gamble, pro-prostitition would find his ilk among Muslims; endorses oriental-white-christian-imperial-colonial view of Muslims as uncivilized lot. This isn't abt Tate, its abt u validating the same xenophobia. Stfu.

The FIR filed against Manzoor Pashteen for his speech at the Asma Jahangir Conference is beyond shameful. Many others have said far more in recent protests than what Manzoor said in his speech. Yet he is being charged with sedition and ATA. The ridiculous FIR should be withdrawn.

Shahzeb was brutally killed protecting her sister by Shahrukh Jatoi in broad daylight, yet Shahrukh Jatoi walks free after enjoying all the perks and luxurious life even in jail too. The state, the judiciary, the laws all are moulded to protect rich and powerful.

There are various misconceptions about what the Khwaja Sira Community is and what people does it include. These misconceptions have furthered the confusion, propaganda and hate against trans people.

The Ahmadi Students have been offered readmission by the School along with an unconditional apology but is this Principal fit to lead any school and will these children be accepted as regular students by the student body after this deplorable act poisoned young minds with hate.
Quote Tweet
This is just normal to what many Ahmadi kids go through on daily basis. This is a private business but government educational institutes are the same.
