Here for giggles. And cribbing about Bangalore traffic.

Champaca has opened and my rant isn't valid anymore cos this is what i wanted, exactly this.

Though indie bookstore prices and accessibility and affordability is a topic for another day.

[Akanksha @Bombaychuckle]

Why does Indiranagar have no good bookstores? For the capitalism circus that goes around on 100 ft, where can I buy a book without going to church street?

Activist who imported oxygen concentrators to save lives during COVID gets Customs notice.

When the government didn't rise to the occasion, citizens did. Now, they will be punished for it???

Ridiculous

@panoparker In the dumpster fire of life and world, this is the exact kind of whimsy I hope for myself. Amen!

[Akanksha @Bombaychuckle]

@TheTweetOfGod I love this version of you, god.

@GaneshPuttu There is a reason why a TN local youth will never go to UP, Haryana and Punjab and why the other way round happens often.

What a horrible thing to read. I follow Marjane on Insta and you could sense her profound grief on her partner's passing.

Your books brought me so much clarity, joy and hope in this bleak world. Rest in peace and power, mam.

RIP Marjane Satrapi, the great cartoonist and film director, best known for PERSEPOLIS. She was only 56. A great talent. She will be missed.

@starlingeliass @itsme_urstruly It has now rebranded itself as Mix. Nowhere near as cool as it used to be. It was one of my absolute favourite places on the web!

The Adanis are destroying our forest cover and investing the profits in the US

India’s heat islands are funding American job creation

Never forget that India used to buy cheap crude oil from Iran directly, not in US dollars, but in Indian Rupees, and stopped doing that under US pressure.

Indian rupees. For crude oil. So no USD pressure.

All along in 13 years, decisions and choices were made.

And here we are.

Important story

Brazil police seize devices from a famous bird expert.

He is suspected of coordinating the illegal purchase of endangered animals for Vantara, a private zoo in Gujarat, India.

@YatharthMishra_ @filissonic @GurugramDeals When was the last time you were in UP?

Can we get AI to actually pick plastic out of the ocean, or do all the robots have to become screenwriters?

[𐌁𐌉Ᏽ 𐌕𐌉𐌌𐌉 @OrevaZSN]

I don’t want a city on Mars. I don’t want AI in every app. I don’t want data centres in space. I don’t want humanoids or flying cars. I want clean water. I want a stable climate. I want bees to survive. And a habitable planet.

In case anyone isn’t aware, Trump is demanding Zambia to hand over its mineral rights by end of day tomorrow or the U.S. gov’t will cut off the country’s access to the AIDS medications that are literally keeping its citizens alive.

Just thought y’all should know.

@Imsonali0 @Parikshit_K_ Hey i agree with this. I can't eat gluten in india but i have significantly less downsides of eating it outside india. Discussed it with my doc, she says quality is the reason.

@banglani 35, female, start up professional - happy to chat:)

When Iran takes a stand for you but your own government can’t.

@MaeveFoodSafari did for my childhood self what @PhilRosenthal is doing for my adult self. Thank you both of you.

Our priority should be making politics unprofitable

Even as a north Indian I oppose the new delimitation bill. India needs to preserve its federal structure not just on paper but in practice. South Indian states have worked hard on improving their social indices and their economy. They do not deserve this
