@hotstar_helps Ok, just sent a DM.

Deceptive UX pattern by @JioHotstar.

It won't allow me to cancel my subscription from the app. Instead, it directs me to go through my bank or UPI app. In the UX sphere this is called a deceptive pattern. It puts the burden on the user, if you miss, they charge your card again.

Clickbait, ragebait and hate mongering all combined together. The state of mainstream Indian news channels can be quickly analysed by their YouTube thumbnails. #media #India #clickbait

This GenZ kid is more sorted than people with partisan apprehensions on social media.

Reporter: What are your demands?

Aarav: Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation.

Reporter: If Dharmendra Pradhan doesn't resign today, will you still support CJP?

Aarav: I have no personal attachment to CJP. I will support any party that raises my issues. I haven't come for CJP. I have come for Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation. My issues are not Hindu-Muslim. My issues are education, healthcare, etc.

I won't renew my @premium subscription until I have an answer.

Why is @X pandering to the current regime in India in suppressing democratic voices? Recent example: @CJP_2029 – a youth-led movement that just demanded accountability by democratic means. @Cockroachisback

Is Mr. @elonmusk's free-speech absolutist positioning merely to enable hate speech and right-wing propaganda on the platform he owns?

Statement on the Government’s Intolerance Towards Media Questions

[Romil Javed @RomilJaved]

@bainjal MEA won this round?!!

That’s a reductive argument Swati.

Reducing a vital debate on freedom of expression and democratic accountability to merely a scale of points scoring.

@HelleLyngSvends @sachinsingh1010 If I’m not mistaken this is being propagated as a joint press meet from the PM’s account itself:

Addressing the joint press meet with PM Jonas Gahr Støre of Norway.

@LaxmanSivarama1 @Gill_Iss Sir, things will only improve if we have more open and honest public discourse on the 'causal racism' existing in our society.

@samkhawase Almost there..... Wait, where's the welcome Pop Up? 🤡

@Tyagi0812 @zoo_bear तू रहने दे भाई, कुतर्क का कोई जवाब नहीं. गाली गलोज़ का मूड नहीं है, इसलिए तू अपना वजूद नफ़रत में बनाये रख. एक दिन मुस्लिम घृणा का तेरा ये दावानल तुझे ही ना लील ले.

[Romil Javed @RomilJaved]

रे अल्पबुद्धि, कौन से देश का कारपोरेट या MSME रोजगार सृजन नहीं करता? शायद यह बात तेरे सूक्ष्म मस्तिष्क से परे है की, वह यह काम मुफ्त में नहीं करे रहे, बल्की सरकार की गोद में बैठ कर अपारदर्शी तरीक़े से कर रहे. 2 की बजाए अगर 10 कंपनियों में प्रतिस्पर्धा हो तो जनता के टैक्स के पैसों का सदुपयोग होता है. मार्केट में duopoly के क्या नुकसान है इसके लिए तुझे कुछ किताबें पढ़नी होंगी, बोल तो बताऊँ?

[Romil Javed @RomilJaved]

अगर सही में किसान है तो एक बात बता, जिनके तू तलवे चाट रहा है, अडानी और अंबानी ने भारत के छोटे और मझोले किसानों के लिए क्या किया है?

मैं भी किसान परिवार से आता हूँ, तो जवाब सोच समझ कर दीजियो. उसके बाद यह भी बता की भारत के लिए अभी तक एक व्यक्ति की चरण वंदना के अतिरिक्त तूने और क्या किया है?

[Romil Javed @RomilJaved]

@Tyagi0812 @zoo_bear अरे कपटी, एक पार्टी की भक्ति में इतना भी लीन ना हो जा कि देश क्या, अपनी आत्मा भी गिरवी रख दे.

रही बात मेरी, मैं तेरे जैसों के लिए टैक्स भी देता हूँ और भारत में विदेशी मुद्रा भी लाता हूँ। एक काम कर, अपना 3 साल का ITR रिटर्न यहाँ पर अपलोड कर, और मैं भी करता हूँ. है औक़ात?

[Romil Javed @RomilJaved]

@RShivshankar Mr. Shivshankar’s circular argument that ultimately praises Mr. Modi.

Fate of journalism is very bleak in India as prime time anchors use buttery adjectives for seasoned politicians instead of asking tough questions.

[Romil Javed @RomilJaved]

@smritiirani @narendramodi Yet another sycophant.

A busy intersection in Kolkata. A banner welcoming the “Yuboraj” (Prince) Abhishek Banerjee. The nephew of the incumbent chief minister of West Bengal, Mamata Banerjee.

Now, blatant sycophancy is not rare in Indian politics and TMC is no exception. Politicians stoop to unbelievable levels to please their masters.

What made this election paraphernalia even more interesting to me – an external observer of the Bengal politics – is the fact that it’s been put up by another 2nd generation politician, former actress and daughter of a four-time MLA, Shreya Pande. The quid-pro-quo of the dynasts as one might wonder. #bengal #election #WestBengalLegislativeAssemblyelection2026

On election eve, an overcast Kolkata. Unusually low traffic on E. M. Bypass at midday.

Perhaps people are just staying put where they are. SIR surely has spooked people, even genuine voters are wary of disenfranchisement.
