Zohran Mamdani explains his definition of socialism to Theo Von: “Socialism to me means you’ll have whatever you need to live a dignified life and that it is the government’s job to deliver on that. When people say dignity we’re talking about the things that allow you to take a breath. Housing, childcare, public transit. No one should be priced out of these things. These are non-negotiables, you need these to live”

🚨No body. No jury. And the man facing the death penalty is his own lawyer.
That is how extraordinary this Florida murder trial has become.
Dr. Tomasz Kosowski was an Ivy League-educated plastic surgeon.
Steven Cozzi was the 41-year-old attorney representing people Kosowski had sued in a bitter dispute with his former employer.
Then, on March 21, 2023, Cozzi went to the restroom at his law office in Largo, Florida and never came back.
His phone, wallet, keys and vehicle were still there.
His body has never been found.
Prosecutors say Kosowski ambushed Cozzi inside that restroom, killed him and removed his body from the building in a cart before eventually disposing of it in a remote dumpster.
Investigators later found what prosecutors describe as a trail of evidence including blood, surveillance footage, phone-location data and items recovered from Kosowski’s vehicles. A cadaver dog later alerted on the dumpster investigators believe was used.
Kosowski pleaded NOT GUILTY.
And then this case became even more extraordinary.
He dismissed his attorneys.
He chose to represent HIMSELF in a case where prosecutors are seeking his death.
Then he waived a jury.
So for the past 6 days, this plastic surgeon has been sitting in court cross-examining witnesses and challenging the prosecution’s evidence himself with 1 judge ultimately deciding whether he is guilty or not guilty.
Yesterday, prosecutors rested after calling 56 witnesses.
Today, September 23, closing arguments begin.
No body.
No jury.
No defense attorney standing beside him.
Just a defendant representing himself in a death-penalty murder trial and 1 judge who will decide the verdict.
🚨This is one to watch today!!
Since 2023, more than 200,000 Dashers in New York City were underpaid or paid late under the City’s delivery worker pay rules. These errors were unintentional, but that doesn’t make them acceptable. Dashers should be paid in full, on time, every time. We take full responsibility, and we’re deeply sorry.
We’ve reached a $131.5 million settlement with the NYC Department of Consumer and Worker Protection. Every impacted Dasher will receive the amount they are owed, and they’ll be contacted directly with payment details.
We understand the impact of even one missed or late payment. We’ve addressed the issues that caused these errors and made changes to prevent them from happening again.

Zohran Mamdani: “DoorDash had underpaid more than 260K delivery workers across New York City. Today, after years of corporate greed and impunity, we are holding DoorDash to account. I am proud to announce that DoorDash will pay more than $131M, the largest settlement for food delivery workers ever secured in American municipal history and a landmark win for those who have been mistreated and abused for years with nowhere to turn”
If instead of buying new iPhone worth 3.5 lacs, you put your in in mutual fund, after three years, you’d be left with 2 lacs and with that 2 lacs, you can buy this phone in second hand condition. Thats the magic of mutual fund compounding
🚨Ravi Shastri was born in 1962.
1971: India divided Pakistan and helped liberate Bangladesh.
1983: India won its first-ever Cricket World Cup, and Ravi Shastri was part of the Indian team.
1999: India defeated Pakistan in the Kargil War.
2008: India launched Chandrayaan-1 and became the first country to detect evidence of water molecules on the surface of Moon.
2009: BRICS was formed, and India was one of its founding members under the leadership of former PM Dr. Manmohan Singh.
2011: India won its second ODI Cricket World Cup.
But Ravi Shastri had never felt prouder to be an Indian than before seeing Putin, Xi Jinping and PM Modi together at the BRICS Summit in India. 😭
Dr. Pratosh at IISc Bengaluru tells his students that rapid advances in AI are commoditizing intellectual labour.
He raises an unsettling question: if companies stop recruiting on campus in the next 5–10 years—even at India’s top universities—what will the purpose of a university education be ?

ANI won’t tell you that she was Mayor of Delhi from BJP. She also contested Vidhansabha election from Timarpur in 2013 on BJP ticket. Likewise many affiliations.
India has a GDP of around $4.5 trillion and is growing at 7.8%.
Switzerland has a GDP of around $1.15 trillion and is growing at just 1.5%.
If GDP size and growth alone determined people’s prosperity, people should be moving from Switzerland to India in search of a better life.
But ask an ordinary person which quality of life they would choose, and you quickly understand why GDP, while important, is a poor proxy for how people actually live. Growth matters, but what matters far more is whether it translates into better jobs, higher incomes, and a better quality of life.
