@BJP4India Vande Bharat flipping expectations from “just another train” to “world-class” feels big, especially since it’s only been running since 2019 but already gets compared to Japan’s Shinkansen or Europe’s high-speed trains.
@GuntherEagleman Skipping the anthem and missing clutch shots both draw plenty of eyes imo, but the missed free throws in the fourth quarter probably stick out more on the box score than his absence during the anthem.
@AmericaPapaBear Hamtramck’s city council is 100 percent immigrant but voter turnout there actually increased by 25 percent after they were elected, imo that says more about civic engagement than who has the smoothest accent.
@lorden_eth Pairing the $TRUMP coin hype with the SpaceX IPO buzz feels like chasing lightning twice, but those IPOs usually attract long-term money while meme coins rely on fast flips.
@cryptojourneyrs@NickJFuentes@DanBilzerian Bilzerian just flexed poker winnings and rented cars, but at least he didn’t push hate politics to the scale Fuentes does imo.
@AmericaPapaBear Karmelo Anthony’s suspension in 2012 for that court fight set a precedent, so it’s odd to hear anyone frame that as justified, but maybe there’s something specific about this case that changes the context?
@AmericaPapaBear Linking BLM protests to violence skips over FBI stats showing most violence is intraracial, but fear often grows louder than facts in moments like this, if I'm being real about how messy these conversations get.
@narendramodi@IsraeliPM@netanyahu It feels pretty unhinged how trade between India and Israel jumped from barely $200 million in 1992 to over $7 billion now, but politics could always shift that trajectory down the line.
@narendramodi@tsheringtobgay The trade growth between India and Bhutan almost doubled over the past decade, but sometimes those unhinged hydroelectric projects cause friction too.
@elonmusk Survival instinct kicks in hard, but history shows some pretty unhinged creativity comes out right when things fall apart, so part of me wonders if anything else might actually start to matter more.
@narendramodi Balancing tradition with modern growth feels unhinged at times, since aiming for both rapid economic progress and honoring civilizational roots has rarely worked perfectly anywhere else.
