Dear @JPNadda @DrJitendraSingh ji,

We are observing a complete breach of the agreement regarding no police action against the protestors. Hundreds of students have been arrested in Bihar and Bengal, and hundreds are being surveilled/harrassed in Delhi and other states. Multiple reports are emerging in Delhi around detention of volunteers supporting protestors with logistics.

We demand that all the FIRs against the protestors be immediately withdrawn, students be released and no future FIRs be filed (in line with our agreement) by Delhi police / Central investigative agencies / Police in BJP-allied states, FAILING WHICH WE WILL BE FORCED TO SIT ON PROTEST AGAIN.

We also demand that the written agreement around legal cases be shared with us by tomorrow, the aligned timelines with the Government of India.

India's creator economy is booming but 9 in 10 influencers still can't make a living

Brands are also increasingly favouring long-term partnerships with micro and macro creators instead of expensive celebrity endorsements.

A creator with 50,000 loyal followers in Patna may now be more valuable to brands than a celebrity influencer with five million followers in Mumbai.

Regional influencers from tier 2, 3 and even 4 cities are emerging as the new growth engine of influencer marketing, driven by stronger engagement, lower campaign costs and audiences that trust creators speaking their language

🚨 Iran

Woman publicly removes her burqa to reveal a T-shirt carrying an explicit message against Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei

Such an act is punishable by death under Iranian law... but protestors willing to take that risk and challenge the regime 👇

This is not a protest.

This is a revolution 🇮🇷

If this is true, let it sink in.

Women don’t burn hijabs in celebration unless the hijab was never a choice.
They burn it when faith was turned into law, police, punishment.

This isn’t “Islamophobia.”
It’s women rejecting state enforced morality masquerading as religion.

Iranian women didn’t need Western saviours.
They fought their own clergy, their own regime, their own chains.

The smoke you see isn’t hatred of faith.
It’s the collapse of coercion.

Now ask why some societies still call this “empowerment.”

[Oli London @OliLondonTV]

Iranian women are risking their lives to fight for their freedoms.

Where are all the Western feminists around the world to support them?

Beyoncé?

Taylor Swift?

Angelina Jolie?

Emma Watson?

They are SILENT.

Iranian woman goes viral lighting her cigarette with a burning photo of the ayatollah.

She's braver than any American feminist of the 21st century.

I have a running theory that a country’s attitude towards smoking tobacco tells you whether or not it has succumbed to the liberal technocratic project.

Smoking is one of those things that the data-driven managerial consensus - the same one that produced The Science™ as an infallible moral authority - has pulled out all the stops to not just discourage but eliminate all together.

It all happened very quickly. The wholesale rejection of smoking is now so entrenched in our cultural ether that it is very much taken as the only true Enlightened position.

What’s astounding is how quickly it happened - seemingly in a single generation. It was a multi-pronged whole-of-society approach involving a very strategic shaming campaign (those odious cigarette pack labels showing deformities) and every other policy lever in the governance toolbox.

The fact that France of all nations, just this summer, took the extraordinary step of banning smoking in outdoor public spaces including parks and beaches, says everything.

First they shame you, then they tax the shit out of tobacco products, and then they regulate where you can smoke. And that space eventually starts to shrink - from just some outdoor places, to now “just” this corner where we tell you (in Singapore they set up cones around which you can smoke like an undignified crack addict but you can’t stray beyond the painted box on the floor, and if you do, you get yelled at like a child that colored outside of the lines), and then someday, to nowhere at all.

I now consider only the countries which have a laissez-faire approach to smokers the only “real” ones left. It’s a good proxy for the embrace of genuine romanticism in an age of technocratic management.This isn’t just plaguing liberal democracies by the way - even places like the UAE and China are increasingly shrinking spaces where you can light up a cigar or cigarette.

It’s why I love some parts of the Middle East and Southeast Asia so much. They still feel like real places - not Disneyland versions where everything is micromanaged. They are still wild and free, unmolested by the managerial revolution.

In a normal world, this badass photograph would be immortalized as an iconic feminist symbol.

It would be stylized, posterized and plastered all over merchandise marketed as empowering for young girls of this generation and beyond.

It's the sheer audacity of Iranian women - unsheathed and in their full feminine glory - lighting up a cigarette almost nonchalantly, their pretty faces glowing in the light of a flickering flame from a burning picture of the Ayatollah Khamenei (their actual oppressor).

In this one act, they broke so many rules all at once, risking imprisonment, torture and death. It is dangerously titillating, especially in a world of sanitized corporate pride parades and student revolutionary LARPers on Ivy League campuses.

I don't care what all the health bodies and governments have tried to push with their data-driven decrees and attempts to vilify smoking. It's just cool.

While the technocrats discourage cigarettes in the name of "protecting bodies," Iranian women are wielding them to assert their liberty and as a symbol of rebellion against the regime.

I JUST LOVE IT 💪🇮🇷

today we launch deep research, our next agent.

this is like a superpower; experts on demand!

it can go use the internet, do complex research and reasoning, and give you back a report.

it is really good, and can do tasks that would take hours/days and cost hundreds of dollars.

Ok, cancer is becoming bigger than ever, or is it more testing?

If cities cause cancer (significantly higher density), could this lead to us bucking the urbanisation trend? Could work-from-home lead to more people living in smaller towns?

It’s about time someone streamlines the chaotic Indian medical system which predominately plays in silos. We need to go beyond simple EHR mechanism and require a more streamline system for patients,doctors,labs and billing system.
