#Karuppu ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏

I’m pretty sure RJ Balaji fans voted TVK

[Aadhithya @AadhithyaMS]

RJ Balaji is back with an apolitical movie: #Karuppu continues the legacy of inherently evil politicians & police with no redemption. Can’t wait for this old boring narrative of human civilians vs. evil inhuman government employees and politicians to stop.

People dropping videos so huge it can be movies if they added two more angles, and huge af essays which can be books if they printed. All aimed at changing my life forever.

Nah, I am good watching 10 min productivity videos that’s more about aesthetics than actual work.

DMK needs Zohran Mamdani type PR team.
Appeasing to gen Z .. teaching socialism, rationalism, periyar/Anna/ambedkar ideologies, anti-caste, pro-feminism, pro-LGBTQ+ rights to younger generation. Gen Z must be politicised with the topics relevant to them.

[Karthick Ramasamy @karthickmr]

Whatever the causes behind the DMK’s defeat in Tamil Nadu, and whatever role the party’s first family may have played in creating public resentment, I still continue to regard M K Stalin as one of the few real statesmen left in Indian politics.

In Indian politics, defeat usually produces denial, arrogance, silence or revenge. Rarely humility. That is why Stalin’s response after the election stood out so sharply.

Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, after the shocking electoral collapse of the Left in Kerala, has not even cared to release a simple two-line Facebook post consoling emotionally shattered cadres and followers. Thousands of ordinary CPM workers who defended the party for years were left directionless after the verdict. Silence became the political response.

Mamata Banerjee, after suffering humiliation in Bengal in another phase of her political journey, publicly declared she would not resign. Across India, leaders often treat electoral defeat as temporary inconvenience or conspiracy. Very few acknowledge the emotional investment of ordinary workers.

But Stalin chose another path altogether.

The very next day after counting, despite losing even his own constituency Kolathur to an electoral novice from Vijay’s TVK, Stalin went back to the locality. No anger. No drama. No blame game. He walked among the people and thanked them for standing with him for decades. Videos from the locality showed emotionally overwhelmed party workers crying openly. Many held his hands. Some could not control their tears. Stalin attempted to console them instead.

That moment mattered politically because it reflected something increasingly absent in Indian politics. Democratic culture.

Today I saw The Times of India Chennai edition carrying his interaction where Stalin said he would not disturb Vijay for the next six months if the latter forms the government. He said he was not interested in creating instability in Tamil Nadu. He said people should not be dragged into another election. He expressed hope that the new government would continue welfare schemes while implementing TVK’s manifesto promises. Only after six months, he said, would the DMK begin constructive criticism as Opposition.

That is not weakness. That is political maturity.

To AIADMK leaders who mocked the DMK after the defeat, Stalin simply responded that the DMK would sit in the Opposition. Nothing hysterical. Nothing desperate. Just clarity.

One must remember that the DMK is not an ordinary electoral machine. It is one of the most ideologically rooted Dravidian movements in modern India. The party survived dismissals, Emergency-era repression, corruption allegations, splits, the deaths of towering leaders, and repeated electoral destruction. After MGR’s rise many predicted the end of the DMK. After Jayalalithaa’s dominance many wrote its obituary again. Yet the party returned each time because its social foundations remained intact.

Stalin himself spent years under the shadow of Karunanidhi. Critics mocked him as politically weak and lacking charisma. But over time he rebuilt the party structure patiently. He strengthened welfare politics. He sharpened the DMK’s secular positioning at a time when majoritarian nationalism was rising aggressively across India. He defended federalism. He consistently articulated Tamil identity without slipping into separatist rhetoric. During NEET protests, language debates, governor-state confrontations and questions of social justice, Stalin gave ideological direction to the Dravidian discourse.

That political foundation has not disappeared because of one electoral defeat.

What collapsed this time was electoral arithmetic. In a multiparty democracy, perception often defeats ideology. Celebrity appeal overtakes organisational depth. Anger accumulates silently against incumbents. Welfare fatigue sets in. Internal contradictions within ruling families create resentment. Every dominant party eventually faces this cycle.

Uber offered a 75% discount when I tried to book a ride for someone. It was ~30.

Closed the app, grabbed my keys, and dropped them off myself.

+20 or +50 over a Rs.120-150 seems easier than imagining +114 +164 over a Rs. 36.

@flipkartsupport I can wait, no special treatment needed. Just dropping feedback:

- Don't deliver to residences after 9 PM
-Let us opt for an earlier slot (by 5:30 PM) even if it means waiting a day longer

Please let go of the default "By 11 PM" window. 🙏 @flipkart

[Aadhithya @AadhithyaMS]

@Flipkart who asked for an 11 PM delivery? My courier will be exhausted. Let them rest. I'll also be asleep.

I ordered yesterday. Don't label this "next-day delivery" — just be honest. And please don't push the agent to make it happen. Just deliver tomorrow. 🙏

“This is the same company, Sama, that TIME exposed in 2023 for paying Kenyan workers $2/ hour to label graphic for OpenAl while being billed at $12.50/hour per worker. Workers described the experience as torture. Same workforce. Same rates.”

[Aakash Gupta @aakashgupta]

Everyone’s missing the real story here.

Meta’s Ray-Ban glasses need human data annotators to train the AI. When you say “Hey Meta” and ask the glasses to analyze something, that video gets sent to Meta’s servers, then routed to Sama, a subcontractor in Nairobi, Kenya. Workers there manually label objects in your footage. They see everything you recorded, intentionally or not.

7 million pairs sold in 2025 alone. Every single pair generates training data that flows through human eyes in Kenya. Workers told Swedish journalists they see people undressing, using bathrooms, having sex, and accidentally filming bank card details. One worker said “we see everything, from living rooms to naked bodies.”

Meta’s automatic face anonymization is supposed to protect people in the footage. Workers say it fails in certain lighting. Faces that should be blurred are sometimes fully visible. The person you recorded without knowing? A stranger in Nairobi can identify them.

Buried in Meta’s terms of service is one sentence doing enormous legal work: the company reserves the right to conduct “manual (human) review” of your AI interactions. That’s the legal cover for routing intimate footage from Western homes to a $2/hour labor force operating under NDAs, office surveillance cameras, and a strict no-questions policy. Workers say if you raise concerns about what you’re seeing, you’re fired.

This is the same company, Sama, that TIME exposed in 2023 for paying Kenyan workers $2/hour to label graphic content for OpenAI while being billed at $12.50/hour per worker. Workers described the experience as torture. Sama ended that contract, then pivoted to labeling Meta’s glasses footage. Same workforce. Same rates.

Meta markets these glasses as “designed with your privacy in mind.” The privacy design is a tiny LED light on the frame that most people don’t notice. The data pipeline behind it routes your bedroom footage to a contractor with a documented history of worker exploitation, failed anonymization, and union-busting lawsuits.

And the next generation of these glasses? Meta is planning to add facial recognition. The same system that can’t reliably blur faces in training data wants to start identifying them on purpose.

The LED light on the frame is doing about as much for your privacy as the terms of service nobody reads.
