Due to a variety of reasons including the current political climate in India, we have decided to give this year’s JLF a miss.
Snark during times like these just feels out of place. We’ll (hopefully) be back next year.

@JLFInsider sums up the shouting match very well. In addition to the shouting on stage, the guy next to me was either heckling, yelling, or clapping madly, depending on who was speaking. It was earsplitting.

[JLF Insider @JLFInsider]

Bold of Sagarika to mention the North Sentinel islands as if they weren’t abused enough to react the way they do

[JLF Insider @JLFInsider]

Sagarika: A liberal mindset is a North Sentinel mindset

Actually my mind would love to dissociate on an Andaman Island rn
