Samanth publishes a book this week yet does not acknowledge that I wrote a piece for @thejuggernaut on this same topic just last month where is justice I will attend his launch at BIC to demand credit and you should too. Buy the book and say "shame!" when he signs it.

[Samanth Subramanian @samanth_s]

The India edition of my book is the best yet: all of "Web" PLUS more than a dozen of my long essays, and such a warm foreword by @mukulkesavan.

Come to @bicblr on the 13th for its launch! @Aakar__Patel, Sharda and I will swap stories about being journalists. RSVP on BIC's site.

Just a husband and wife. Pati pat knee. Nothing to see here.

I have never in my entire life of reluctant heterosexuality had a man slap my knee like that.

You can’t convince me these people know each other’s coffee orders let alone have been intimate together.🥴

For the @NewYorker, I wrote about “Snow,” a volume of haunting photos on Kashmir by Sohrab Hura.

Sohrab shot these images between 2015 and 2019, always putting off what he thought was the inevitable: the work of capturing the Indian armed forces’ repression in Kashmir... 🧵

Google is an AI company that also makes phones, which is why the Pixel 10 is the way it is, and why I have for the first time started to consider whether I should just get an iPhone myself. For the details do read this review for @newslaundry and RETWEET!

A gorgeous 15th anniversary edition of "Following Fish" now on sale in India, in time to be gifted for the holidays.

With a new prologue (that laments the passage of time and how old I've gotten, because this came out in 2010 but feels like yesterday).

Has anyone lost their dog in the Central Bangalore/Cooke Town/Frazer Town/Banaswadi area? Neighbours found him struggling on the street yesterday and he is clearly someone's pet, anxious to find his way back home. Please RT for reach!

On Saturday evening, someone hit and ran over this sweet boy’s brother and killed him. He’s now up for adoption and looking for a home.

He’s very well adjusted, already knows commands, is fully vaccinated and leash friendly, and loves adults and kids alike.

I've just done a long-term review of the Pixel 9a for @newslaundry. On the plus side it has the best camera in its price class. On the (substantial) minus side....you'll have to read the review to find out. Please RT! - https://t.co/CKrUL9oQSL

Now we have a cover, and also...a pre-order link in the tweet below: ⬇️

Always a blessed relief to hold the manuscript of a NEW BOOK in your hand. This one, on the fragile undersea cables that carry our data, took 2 years of research…

Did not expect to be an Asus evangelist but buying one on @vinayaravind's recco a year ago finally broke a streak of bad luck with my lapto... oh what's my screen doing why is it in a boot loo-

[Vinay Aravind @vinayaravind]

Yes, there's finally a Windows laptop that can give you 15 hours of battery life. For @newslaundry I review the Snapdragon-equipped Asus Vivobook S15 Copilot+ laptop and compare it with the M3 Macbook Air. The winner might surprise you! Please retweet?

Wait what, new book!

[Samanth Subramanian @samanth_s]

Barely a day after I sent in the manuscript of a book about undersea cables: reported from 🇩🇪🇩🇰🇪🇸🇨🇮🇸🇬🇹🇼🇹🇴🇲🇾🇬🇧🇺🇸, dealing with the weird, fascinating industry that lays them but also with their elevation into targets of politics + "gray" warfare.

I foresee constant updating.
