Snippet: Note: Gerardo Naranjo’s Son-in-Law (now streaming on Netflix) is not a remake of the 1993 Pauly Shore yukfest.

And it isn’t an easy watch – but sometimes that can be rewarding, right?

Snippet: Rice is far more than a staple food in Sri Lanka; it is central to national food security, rural livelihoods, and agricultural identity. Nearly 90% of Sri Lankans depend on rice as their primary food source, while hundreds of thousands of farming families rely on paddy cultivation for survival. Yet despite its strategic importance, Sri Lanka’s rice sector remains fragile, politically manipulated, and economically inefficient.

Snippet: The standard complaint — that the public service is bloated — misreads the diagnosis. Overstaffing is the residue of political patronage, not operational need. By the 1970s, recruitment had drifted from competence toward party loyalty.
