I watched this video of PM Modi ask in his trademark patronising-cringe style
"how can our daughters speak such language?"
Sir, they are not 'your' daughters.
People are not your 'children'.
You are not the father of this nation.
Your job is governance and you are failing.

[Sanitary Panels @sanitarypanels]

Girls and women don’t owe you civility, old man. Clutching pearls and pretending you’re a victim while kids have DIED BY SUICIDE because of your fuck ups and then YOUR POLICE USED PELLET GUNS AND AK47s AND LATHIS ON PROTESTERS.

Fuck. Right. Off.

[Edgar Allan Poeha @bhanilaessence]

Just wanted to point out that the leaders of the NRC-CAA protests like Umar Khalid, Sharjeel were also around 30 and younger and people took their speeches, calls to action, and strategies apart--nobody rushed to defend them saying are ohooho these are toh just kids why criticise

[Dray 🍄 @CFCDray]

why aren’t we looking at Kante if we’re looking for experienced players? I’ll 100% take him back rather than Henderson

[Dushyant Arora @atti_cus]

I’m thinking of Umar Khalid. I think of him everyday. I hope he knows he is wrong- he has not been forgotten. Countless like me keep him in our hearts and minds, we pray for him, fight for his freedom in whatever way we can.

Umar Khalid walked so Gen Z could run.

The battle to end his illegal imprisonment continues.

[Hugh Laurie @hughlaurie]

Thanks for your critique, Janet. We actually tried a couple of episodes where House (Hugh Laurie) (please put the brackets in the right place) gets it right first time, but they were only 6 minutes long. NBC weren’t happy. Then we tried some where House never gets it right and the patient dies. The audience wasn’t happy.

One could apply your trenchant analysis to other art forms: JS Bach wrote 30 Goldberg variations on the same chord structure; Frida Kahlo painted 50 portraits of herself; Henry Moore, what??

The point is, or was, variations on a theme; if all you see is hospital, medical blah blah, then it wasn’t meant for you.

Nonetheless, I look forward to your first novel!

do you think mozart knew that one day the epic love song he composed for elise would be used to signal ki meri paani ki tanki overflow ho rahi hai

100 Greatest Bird Names, Day 9: #20 to #11 🧵

#20: Blood Pheasant

We’re in the FINAL STRETCH and the birds names are going harder than is advisable. From the netherworld (or, the Himalayas, depending on who’s asking), and wears the blood of its enemies in its feathers.

Nobody fell off harder than the hammerhead shark. Was a top shark for me as a kid and now completely obsolete in media and conversation.

What a legend

Greta Thunberg has shown extraordinary leadership and moral clarity at a time when humanity needed it most.

What an incredible human being 🤌🏽

In Pather Panchali, when the father comes home from Calcutta and asks for his daughter Durga and the mother looks at him and says nothing it’s just Pandit Ravishankar’s music in the background no dialogue just that.

From dragons to lemons

[Gurmehar Kaur @mehartweets]

Almost five years in jail without a trial. Today the Delhi HC again denied bail to Umar Khalid and others in the 2020 “larger conspiracy” case, with even arguments on charges still unfinished.
This is punishment without conviction.

Call it what it is: injustice.

[Siddharth @DearthOfSid]

Umar Khalid has now spent 1,816 days in jail without trial, without bail.

Each day that passes marks another black day for India’s justice system.

Exactly 31 years back, world saw similar scenes in Rwanda.

[TheSpeakingScalpel @DrSaurav5]

Most viral infections resolve on their own it’s the natural course of disease. That’s where so-called naturopaths and “Ayurvedic” babas step in with their churnas and chutneys, claiming credit for recovery they had nothing to do with. Their contribution, in most cases, is negligible at best.

You were scammed you didn’t require any kadha 🙌🙌

[TheLiverDoc™ @theliverdoc]

Hello, Vidit. I am not a fan of chess, but you are an important person for our country and I did not mean to offend your family. I am sure they are good people. I was stating plain facts from a professional standpoint and I do not mince my words. You may call that ego or whatever, to console yourself, no problem.

Your statement on Doctors Day claiming an Ayurveda practitioner, Homeopath, Cosmetologist and a Physiotherapist were doctors is wrong and I stand by my words. Doctors' Day in India marks both the birth and death anniversary of Dr. Bidhan Chandra Roy, one of India's most revered physicians and a key figure in shaping the healthcare system.

Ayurveda, Homeopathy, Cosmetology or Physiotherapy are not realistic clinical medicine or and their practitioners are not clinical physicians. Physiotherapy is a legit branch of healthcare (adjunct to clinical medicine), but the rest are just plain sham - especially Homeopathy, which is also known as N*zi Medicine because H*tler tried to integrate it with conventional medicine at the time.

You got all worked up and started personally attacking me because you were ignorant of this fact. I do not need to keep an ego towards a chess GM or his family. You don't make me insecure and your family is of no concern to me from a professional standpoint.

But what you claim them to be - has major public health consequence, because someone of your stature, being ignorant about science and health affects public perception of realistic healthcare and pseudoscientific practices.

Your statements normalize pseudoscience and primitive therapies as healthcare practices when they are not. They are alternative medicine. And alternative medicine is medicine that is not proven to work. Just like there is no alternative chemistry, alternative physics or alternative mathematics, alternative medicine is also not medicine. And its practitioners are not doctors.

I am a certified internist with a doctorate in hepatology and liver transplant medicine with 260 peer reviewed scientific publications, 4400 citations and h-index of 30 (just for your information). You don't know me and how useful I am to my patients and their families. I suggest you do a bit of homework before throwing such childish tantrums.

I am staying in my lane and always have. Calling out medical misinformation is what I do apart from being a full-time doctor. I suggest you stay in your lane and discuss more on chess. Sorry for the checkmate. And for a change, talk about chess and try being useful. All the best for your future matches.
