Always try to be helpful. Instead of saying “fuck off”, say “how can I help you fuck off”. It costs nothing to be kind.

Reuters confirmed that the elementary school in the Iranian city of Minab was bombed TWICE by the US military, 40 minutes apart.

This was intentional. You don't "accidentally" bomb a school TWO TIMES.

168 children and 14 teachers were killed. It was a massacre.

Arab regimes intercepting Iranian missiles above their cities and risking the lives of their own citizens to protect Israel and US bases is one of the most disgusting scenes we will keep witnessing in this war

What happens when a generation stops speaking its own language?
The Kashmiri language is fading from homes and classrooms. This video highlights the urgent need to preserve Kashmiri before it becomes just a memory

More bad news for mobile phone users in India (after SIM binding): Our government is mandating a government app (sanchar saathi) on every new phone, permanently, Reuters reports.

Will be pushed to your phone via OTA. New smartphones need to have it. Users cannot delete it. This is a first. India has never before required an unremovable state app on every device. Russia does btw, with its MAX Messenger (started September 2025).

A few comments regarding this:
1. Sanchar Saathi is a lost phone tracker, but if it gets embedded with no possibility of removal, it becomes a government tracker on your device.

IF the government is allowed to get away with this, what’s next? A mandatory digital ID app? Digiyatra forcefully installed on each device? An app that disables VPNs or tracks your app and browser history? An app that sends copies of your messages to the government once a month?

Once the OS layer is opened to the state, it doesn’t close.

2. Legally, one can argue that your mobile phone is your personal space, and this is an invasion of your personal space.

It’s where we have our most private conversations. Exchange sensitive information with people we trust.

How do we know this app isn’t used to access files and messaging on our device, which is unencrypted on device? Or a future update won’t do that? This is clearly an invasion of our privacy.

3. Remember how the government exempt itself from much of the Data Protection Law. This explains why.

The Data Protection Law will make private companies more accountable and the Indian government less accountable.

4. Bloatware is already an issue with some phones (It’s why I don’t use Samsung). Now there’s more, and this time the government is forcing bloatware. I guess we’ll all have to root our phones now. When you buy a phone with bloatware, you're choosing to buy it with bloatware. This is different.

5. The way things work with India’s Department of Telecom, there was no public consultation, the order wasn’t disclosed. Just forced. This is dictatorial in nature. If they get away with this, more will follow.

Virtually everyone in power wants us to forget the people of Gaza. Those with a conscience cannot forgive or forget.

[Barry Malone @malonebarry]

Gaza is slowly disappearing from the headlines. We can’t let it. Israel is still killing Palestinians. The “ceasefire” is a fiction.

Piers Morgan: “What happens to a country like Russia, which committed war crimes emerges unpunished for any of this?”

Jeffrey Sachs: “Well, if the US were punished for all its war crimes, the world would be a better place... if Israel was punished for its genocide...

✍️Finance explained in simple way for beginners:

💡 Think of your startup as a lemonade shop

You’re running a small lemonade startup. Let’s break down your financials step-by-step using a case study:

1. Sales Revenue — “Money In!”

This is the total money you earn by selling lemonade

➡️ If you sell 100 glasses for ₹20 each = ₹2,000 revenue.

2. COGS — Cost to Make the Lemonade

COGS = lemons + sugar + water + cups

➡️ Suppose these ingredients cost you ₹800.

3. Gross Profit (EBITDA) — “Profit Before Extra Expenses”

Gross Profit = Sales – COGS

➡️ ₹2,000 – ₹800 = ₹1,200 = EBITDA

(Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, amortisation)

This tells investors how efficiently you run operations.

4. DA (Depreciation & Amortisation)

You bought a mixer machine and will use it for years

Depreciation = “slowly counting the cost every year.”

➡️ Say: ₹100 depreciation.

5. Operating Profit (EBIT)

EBIT = EBITDA – DA

➡️ ₹1,200 – ₹100 = ₹1,100 EBIT

This shows how profitable the core business is

6. Interest

If you took a loan to open the shop, this is the bank’s cut.

➡️ Say you pay ₹50 in interest

7. EBT (Earnings Before Tax)

EBT = EBIT – Interest

➡️ ₹1,100 – ₹50 = ₹1,050 EBT

8. Tax

Government wants its share 😄

➡️ Say tax is ₹150.

9. PAT (Profit After Tax)

Your final take-home profit

➡️ ₹1,050 – ₹150 = ₹900 PAT 💰

Investors look at these steps to understand:

Is the product profitable?
Are costs under control?
Is the core business strong (EBIT)?
Will the startup generate cash after debt (PAT)?

Even a simple lemonade startup can tell a powerful financial story

Nearly three decades after he was thrown into prison for a blast that killed 18 people, the Allahabad High Court has acquitted Mohammad Ilyas in the 1996 Modinagar–Ghaziabad bus bombing, ruling that the State had failed to prove even the basic charges against him.
