How did Manju Warrier become Tamizh??

Just a reminder. Even the British did not imprison someone for almost 6 years without proving him guilt. No point in shouting Happy Independence Day when you realise that you, me or anyone could face this tomorrow.

To be clear, I don't just loathe generative ai slop. I also hate golf, lawns, space tourism, war, monoculture farming, clear cutting forests, building on floodplains, deep sea mining, development that destroys habitats & corporations bulldozing ecosystems fer endless
"growth". Also, fuck a data center.

This is not just a war on trees; it is a war on India's identity as a sovereign nation. While the people of India are kept busy with issues of border encroachment by neighbouring nations, some preferred oligarchs inside India are eating away India like termites with the help of their political friends.

Hi @Shell_India, what is the issue with printing the vehicle number in the bill generated at the pump? Having to go inside everytime just to add the vehicle number seems a bit much.

This b@stard, Sanjay Dixit, doxxed a minor.

He publicly shared her personal details, purposely misrepresented her age, and exposed her to targeted harassment, putting her safety at risk.

Every opposition party MUST file an FIR in their respective states ensuring Sanjay spends rest of his life running from state to state and in between courts to courts.

Doxxing a minor is not "free speech." It's a serious act that can endanger a child's safety. Sanjay must face strict legal consequences.

"Suddenly, we clutch our pearls at the language of a young girl who was three when PM Modi assumed power at the center, who grew up in a language fostered by him and his political associates, when she trains this very language on politicians she disagrees with?"

@SassyDopamine @introverticoose Please note, asking someone to be positive is "aunty mind ullavar", so I suppose this uncle is also an aunty

A note to journalists around the world:

If the PM of India visits your country, please ask him questions, because in India he has not faced a press conference for the last 12 years.

For the sake of the journalistic community, please do us this favor.

RT for good karma.

fundamentally the problem with telling any new stories set in the world of harry potter is that jk rowling didn’t notice she set up magic to be an allegory for being part of the ruling class

the allure of the original harry potter books is finding out you are secretly a prince, and rich, and being invited to your hidden kingdom where you learn how to exercise your royal power before taking the throne. this is a juvenile fantasy set in a juvenile world; you can’t tell adult stories about adult protagonists in this universe without running up against the fundamental power imbalance between wizards and muggles. muggles can never learn magic - peasants can never simply decide to become ruling class - and wizards get to arbitrarily manipulate their memory whenever they want to maintain their invisible rule, and nobody in the wizarding world sees a problem with this. muggleborns exist but are indoctrinated into wizarding life via boarding school - the ruling class indoctrinating talented outsiders. nonhuman magic is tightly controlled and regulated - the ruling class maintaining its monopoly on power

harry potter is a story about the reptilian conspiracy, from the pov of the reptilians. it pretends to be about fighting fascism in the form of voldemort but the way the premise structures wizard-muggle relations (and relations with nonhumans, eg house-elves) is itself almost inherently fascistic

If @narendramodi is urging Indians to work from home to conserve fuel then his government should pass an order directing companies to allow work from home for a year. What does he mean by urging people to work from home? Does he think this decision is at the people’s discretion?
