This is why physical newspapers are important. @the_hindu has an a wonderful interview around Plath. Features like this get lost in the thick of algorithms that serve to only further your bias.

All those incompetent idiots who run the #Srinagar #Smartcity project need to be lined up and fired. Entire city is in shambles and no amount a curated events on VIP roads can change that. Putting lipstick on a pig, doesn't change the fact that it is a pig.

Forget AI generated content - it won’t drive success.

AI is stunning technology that helps organise our existing knowledge.

But nobody wants to watch or read derivative content built by robots.

We love to watch passionate people telling relevant and remarkable stories, so…

@Uber_India why do drivers in srinagar charge over and above the fare showing up on the app. The drivers claim the prices are for CNG. This is just a sad start to the services here.

Oh, the poems I have lost over the years

[Francesca Leader @mooninabucket]

When you get an idea so arresting that your brain tells you, "I couldn't possibly forget that--write it down later," YOUR BRAIN IS LYING.

Pull the car over, block the sidewalk, get out of the shower, and capture that idea before it's gone. Because it will be.

This is most hilarious (and very serious) piece of journalism, I have read. It is shame that it did not win a Pulitzer
