Here are my 100 favorite albums of 2020 (all styles, all genres). https://t.co/5cEkHulIWo

I thank the musicians who brought us so much joy in difficult times—often with few immediate rewards beyond those music itself brings. It made a difference.

Happy listening!

I created this incomplete/growing list of regional Indian cookbooks as a follow-up to a comment I made on @bettinamak's excellent piece on the need to understand cuisines in regional rather than national terms. These are all in English/translation.

I've written another Tiny Textbook on Development Studies.

It discusses key challenges (poverty, inequality, & violence); organising, insurgencies, right-wing populism; global supply chains; & the impacts of COVID.

Reading suggestions are very welcome!

Is #Aadhaar now required to mail a letter overseas? That's what a friend's assistant was just told at a New Delhi post office... Letter couldn't be sent w/o her Aadhaar! Holy moly!

[Yogesh @BombayYog]

@tylercowen What'd you think of the books?

[Baptiste Robert @fs0c131y]

Hi #Aadhaar 👋! Can we talk about the #BenefitsOfAadhaar for the #India population?

I quickly check your #android app on the #playstore and you have some security issues...It's super easy to get the password of the local database for example...🤦‍♂️
