“Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there-on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot.

Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves.

The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand.

It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known.”

It does not matter what JCD Prabhakar’s personal beliefs are. That’s in his house. He holds a constitutional post.

Even Indian women have suffered in countries that deny abortion rights for women. Remember Savita Halappanavar?

The TVK govt has to explain itself. Why did its MLA go for this event?

[Dhanya Rajendran @dhanyarajendran]

Just listened to Tamil Nadu Speaker Prabhakar's sound byte at the anti-abortion rally in Chennai. He said I am happy to be part of an event that is against abortion. Question: Can we expect TN govt to take more action?
Answer: We should bring it to the notice of the honourable Chief Minister Joseph Vijay who has got innovative ideas, he understands things and keeps all the information at the tips of his fingers. So if only we bring it to his notice, he will definitely take steps on this.

What the hell does that even mean?

Also, to the catholic priests and bishops who headed this, the women in TN and India will resist such moves no matter who it comes from.

Sunday special: 51% attendance, 2 questions, 1 debate. I flag Padma Bhushan Kamal Haasan's abysmal first-year performance as Member of Parliament. Hasn't attended a single day of current monsoon session, missed the Vande Mataram Bill passage.
In comparison, first-time DMK and AIADMK MPs have asked dozens of questions, participated in several debates and have better attendance.
This is why parties should not waste Rajya Sabha seats on celebrities and instead give it to ground level party workers who are connected to people, says K Srinivasan who runs Sansad Ratna awards.

Will @mkstalin take action on Udhayanidhi like he did with Ponmudi? Or his family members are immune to such filthy language in public? Will the TN media have the spine to question @KanimozhiDMK about the crass misogynistic comments by Udhayanidhi? 🤷🏽

[Karthik Balachandran @karthik2k2]

There is a political reason why DMK supporters are very sensitive to the mockery of its young Turks. For now, youngsters are DMK’s prime target demographic. It appears like youngsters have moved en masse towards Vijay. Their strategy to counter this is the so-called Gen Z DMK.

But the Gen Z DMK has been meh ever since it started. Its prominent faces have been the nth generation dynastic scions like that guy who sports shades and identifies as GenZ, or people who are too weird to get mainstream traction like the fella who was running around like a headless chicken in the court. The MLA’s son is a bit of both.

To make matters worse, with the loss of power, their narrative grip has slipped. They no longer hold custody of the collective conscience, expressed in the public square.. While they have the power to speak, their power to tell you what to speak has vanished.

This makes them vulnerable to a potent weapon : ridicule.

They can answer arguments with abuse. Deflect debates. Ignore facts. Dismiss rebuttals. But ridicule ? That’s harder to tackle. Spreads like wildfire. Delegitimizes view points instantly. Nothing vaporizes authority faster than mockery.

DMK itself has used ridicule to devastating effect against their opponents in the past - like Vijaykanth. They have rarely been at the receiving end.

Until now.

It must be hard to realize that others have the same freedom of expression as they do.
