Arsenal beat City 3-0. Could’ve been more. Easy win. Never lost control. Result never in doubt. Great start to the season with more silverware.

@schand10 And what’s the genuine problem with this specific fact checker? Trying to learn.

[Balaji R @berliner_bee]

This isn’t negligent or stupid. This is 100% intentional. Incentivized Indian media houses still go ahead and publish fake news because they know that the intended audience are predominantly dumb sheep that are just going to believe it and spread it further.

Republic TV writes a detailed article based on a fake letter issued by 'Embassy of Italy', tweeted by a fake account.

Baba Ramdev on Independence day

- Chaos is spreading across the country.
- Children are complaining that there are no teachers in their schools.
- Basic facilities like electricity, water and toilets are missing.
- Cheating is rampant in some places, while question papers are being leaked in others.
- In government job interviews, corruption runs as high as 99%.
- Mend your ways, or the protests will only grow stronger.

The biggest problem in India is this - while fact checkers/community notes/Grok exist on X, the target audience of the BJP lives in WhatsApp. And this fakeass video clip edit would've already gone viral there with no fact checking possibility. Vote bank brainwashing job done.

@suganshreyas Just get something like a DJI Mic TX unit and it goes pretty close to something like 99% accuracy.

Most Indian parents after reaching the airport arrivals area at their destination abroad.

What’s the point of all these reports? The andhbhakts that are supposed to read it: 1. probably won’t be able to comprehend it anyway, 2. would simply call this some kind of foreign hit job- US, China, Pak, Atlantis, Wakanda are all working to destabilize India.

Exclusive: Hours after India made public assurances last week that its ethanol-blended petrol was safe, the country's main auto lobby withdrew a complaint about fuel contamination it had sent to the government a week earlier. The group said some figures needed more checks.

But separate communications between industry executives, reviewed by Reuters, showed that in the preceding days, top automakers Maruti Suzuki, Tata Motors and Mahindra discussed their concerns about contamination of petrol blended with 20% ethanol, called E20.

The carmakers' emails show for the first time how they are privately worried about contaminants in E20, like chloride and moisture, which they say are hurting vehicles, even as they publicly back the government's rollout of the fuel https://t.co/EMEBwbJeF1

[Balaji R @berliner_bee]

@polyglot_eng Not the main point either. The point is that someone spent a ton of years and money building up a certain grandiose image, only for it to be nuked to dust in a week by some random teenagers.

[Balaji R @berliner_bee]

Not sure whether to laugh or cry here given that those crores were also simply hard earned public money.

@polyglot_eng Btw I don’t think anything here even refers to any foreign trips of Mr. 56. That’s is a separate topic altogether. Not even going there.

[Balaji R @berliner_bee]

@polyglot_eng But then again this is template BJP response. You ask question X, you get question Y as the reply. Not answer to question X.

[Balaji R @berliner_bee]

@polyglot_eng Roy wasn’t the point of this observation at all. The point was about “all it took was a paper leak, a group of teens and few weeks to pretty much make a mockery of the hero image generated with a fuckton of marketing money (all public money)”. And whether to laugh or cry about it
