The PM uses Homeopathy as the core analogy of his speech. What he talks about homeopathy here is what the practitioners called "homeopathic aggravation"
- A temporary worsening of symptoms after taking homeopathic pill, which practitioners believe precedes healing. Homeopaths view this flare-up as a positive sign that the correct remedy was chosen - which medical science community has proven doesn't exist, and that homeopathy does not work beyond a placebo effect.
In either case, the flare up can lead to worsening disease or it can be part of the natural history of the disease where a flare is naturally followed by a period of remission.
Using this example of how Homeopathy works, to promote political ideologies and trample critical and logical dissent is the exact feature of a person with low intellectual capacity, illogical reasoning, irrational beliefs, narcissistic insecurity and fragile self worth. A real education helps avert these low humanistic traits.
"Climate change will manifest as a series of disasters filmed on phones that will get closer and closer to where you live until you are filming it on your own phone" keeps getting real day by day and we're doing nothing to stop it, this is so fkn scary
"I'm not offended by all of the dumb blonde jokes because I know I'm not dumb … and I also know that I'm not blonde."
Dolly Parton was a 5"0" country music singer most in India remember for one massive hit, Jolene. She also wrote and performed "I will always love you" which became a No 1 with Whitney Houston.
But I'm not a fan because of 'Jolene,' or 'I will always Love you.'
Dolly Parton's Imagination Library, a part of her Dollywood Foundation mails one book per month to each enrolled child from the time of their birth until they enter kindergarten. Currently reaches almost 850,000 children each month. In 2018, the charity sent out its 100 millionth book.
She provided critical early funding for Covid-19 research in Vanderbilt, took one of the first vaccine doses available, and sang a version of Jolene with lyrics that went '"Vaccine, vaccine, vaccine, vaccine/I'm begging of you please don't hesitate.'
Dolly was giving, contributing, and fighting bigots and racism till the very end.
RIP Dolly, you were something!
VIDEO | On RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat's event at Madison Square Garden, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani says, "... I also stand here as the first Indian American mayor in our city's history. My mother's family is all still in India. The vision of India that I was taught by my family and the one that I grew up being very familiar with was of a pluralistic society, of a secular republic, that believed in the belonging of each and every person who was from India. It has been incredibly troubling to see the rise of a movement that is predicated on an exclusionary vision of any country, frankly. So it is one that I find myself in deep opposition to. Not only as an Indian-American, but also as the mayor of a city that believes deeply in the belonging of each and every person, no matter their colour, their creed, their religion, their faith, wherever they're from... I don't support the rally, but I don't know if the city has any jurisdiction on canceling a private event."

Farewell, Sulaiman Mansour. With his passing, Palestine loses one of its most beloved faces, and one of the artists who, for generations, taught us how to see and understand our homeland.
Throughout his life, Mansour carried Palestine onto his canvases: its land and people, villages and cities, olive trees, homes, and faces. Palestine was more than a subject in his art; it was its purpose. Over the decades, his paintings became part of how we remember, preserve, and imagine our land.
Our deepest condolences go to his family, loved ones, colleagues, and to the entire Palestinian artistic and cultural community. We mourn this profound loss with them, and with Palestine.
Goodbye, Sulaiman Mansour.
sliman mansour was a palestinian christian from the west bank, this is something that deeply influenced his art. he used biblical themes to depict life under occupation. may he rest in peace.
What Rahul Gandhi did in Pune was a qualitatively different and fundamental kind of politics - most probably one leg of it. Likely that he has been trying to get to this for a long time. The attempt is to shape the way people think and feel rather than just the way they vote in the next election. More strategy than tactics, more conversation than exhortation or dictation. If it succeeds, it could lead to a more enduring kind of change. Like what Congress did during the Independence movement or what the reformers and Communists did in Kerala in the last century or what the Dravidian movement accomplished in Tamilakam.
Whenever I speak to men, I find that women are often placed in just three boxes: daughter, wife, or mother.
There is nothing wrong with any of these identities. But these cannot be your only identities.
Women are professionals, sportspersons, leaders, creators, entrepreneurs, and so much more. Yet too often, their identity is defined only through their relationship with a man.
🔹The Manusmriti states that a woman must never be independent.
But I believe the biggest strength of this country is the fact that our women should be independent, should stand up for themselves, and should believe in themselves.
You may have relationships with your father, brother, husband, or son, but you do not belong to them. You belong to yourself.
