It’s not just some women in that room, you made many men teary-eyed. @smritiirani , including me.
The pain & pleasure of being a mother.
So powerfully & emotionally articulated.
I have only one point of dissonance:
I adored & cared for my mother till her last breath.
Because I had immense gratitude for what you termed the ‘tenacity’ of her love.
Even in my lowest periods she made me feel like I could move mountains.
Not a day goes by when I don’t derive strength from her memory.
Your son will be no different, I’m sure.
The reason why people have reacted emotionally to all the profound statements made by the astronauts and the photographs is because we are not seeing science, basic human decency, intelligence, humanity being center stage absolutely nowhere in the world atm. Even a pandemic failed to make us realize how beautiful our planet is, what a gift it is to be born on this planet and how cruel we have become as a species. The Artemis II mission has made people feel connected to the universe, to the earth, to the moon. This planet doesn't just belong to the rich and powerful billionaires and politicians. It belongs to us, the people who want to do good by our children, our families, our communities and our planet. What are the odds that we and all our ancestors were born and get to experience life on one of the dots in this picture of the Milky Way? Make it count.
Meet Gautam Gambhir :
- Took Rahul Dravid’s winning team and claimed credit for the Champions Trophy.
- Removed Jaiswal, Ruturaj Gaikwad, and Shreyas Iyer due to personal hatred.
- Stripped Hardik Pandya of captaincy because he refuses to be a "Yes Man."
- Forced Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma into Test retirement to prove he's the "Boss."
- Dropped Vice-Captain Axar Patel from the T20 World Cup playing XI.
- Keeping Harshit Rana in the squad while ghosting a fit Mohammed Shami.
- Forcing "Sloggers" like Abhishek Sharma and Tilak Verma on us while we collapse for 111.
Is Gautam Gambhir building a "New India," or is he just building a team of "Yes Men" to satisfy his own ego?

BREAKING: BRAVO! Stephen Colbert defies his corporate bosses and reveals that CBS REFUSED to air his interview with Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico due to bullying by Trump’s FCC!
It would appear that Trump and his team are very, very, very worried about losing the critical Senate race in *Texas* of all places, and they’re trying to put the clamps on the candidate they think can win — Rep. James Talarico.
Hot off the heels of a viral appearance on The View where he showcased his eloquence and his leadership, Talarico was set to do The Late Show with Colbert…but Trump’s FCC stepped in to block it, telling the Colbert team that they could only release the interview on YouTube.
“You know, you know who is not one of my guests tonight? That's Texas State Representative James Talarico. He was supposed to be here, but we were told in no uncertain terms by our network's lawyers, who called us directly, that we could not have him on the broadcast. Then, then I was told in some uncertain terms that not only could I not have him on, I could not mention me not having him on,” explains Colbert.
“And because my network clearly doesn't want us to talk about this, let's talk about this. So, you might have heard of this thing called the Equal Time Rule, okay? It's an old FCC rule that applies only to radio and broadcast television, not cable or streaming, that says if a show has a candidate on during an election, they have to have all that candidate's opponents on as well.”
“It's the FCC's most time-honored rule, right after no nipples at the Super Bowl. There's long been an exception for this rule, an exception for news interviews and talk show interviews with politicians. Now, that's crucial.”
“How else were voters supposed to know back in 92 that Bill Clinton sucked at saxophone? But, on January 21st of this year, a letter was released by FCC Chairman and smug bowling pin Brendan Carr. In this letter, Carr said he was thinking about dropping the exception for talk shows because he said some of them were motivated by partisan purposes. Well, sir, you're chairman of the FCC, so FCC you.”
Then Colbert REALLY laid into Trump and his authoritarian efforts to police speech:
“Let's just call this what it is. Donald Trump's administration wants to silence anyone who says anything bad about Trump on TV because all Trump does is watch TV. Okay? He's like a toddler with too much screen time.”
“He gets cranky and then drops a load in his diapers. So, it's no surprise, it's no surprise that two of the people most affected by this threat are me and my friend Jimmy Kimmel. When this letter dropped, we both talked about the letter on air, and then later, Carr defended it like this.”
“If Kimmel or Colbert want to continue to do their programming, and they don't want to have to comply with this requirement, then they can go to a cable channel or podcast or a streaming service and that's fine. Great idea, man whose job is to regulate broadcast TV. Suggest everyone just leave broadcast TV.”
“I can't interview James Talarico. I can't show any pictures of James Talarico. I'm not even sure I can say the words James Talarico.”
“But what I can show you is what we always show when we have to pull material at the last minute. This tasteful nude of Brendan Carr!”
Alarm bells should be ringing in the office of every elected Democrat, television executive, civil rights activist, and concerned citizen in America.
This is a blatant effort by the Trump administration to censor speech, install a state-sanctioned media regime and meddle in our elections by keeping Democrats from being able to engage with mass audiences.
Well, it’s not going to work. Let’s make sure Colbert’s interview goes mega-viral, win the Texas Senate seat, and take kick every last Trumper out of office!
🚨 Epstein victim on the AG Pam Bondi hearing
"I was a little embarrassed that she couldn't say sorry to us because she sat there in the beginning she said sorry for what Jeffrey Epstein did to us but yet she couldn't apologize what she did to us and what her department did to us.
It's like you had one job was to redact our names to respect our privacy and but yet you carefully took the time to redact all these powerful rich men."

Trump slump? Attendance plummets at some science meetings, but others hold steady
Amid travel bans, a government shutdown, and funding crunches, 2025 was a turbulent year for U.S. scientific societies.

The First Amendment is a foundational promise to every American: Each of us has the freedom to speak, to report, and to hold those in power accountable without fear of retribution or retaliation.
Today, Donald Trump and his administration are once again trampling on our rights and our freedoms. Journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort were fulfilling their duty to the American people to report and inform, and they have been arrested for it.
Donald Trump continues to consolidate power and show a flagrant disregard for the rule of law. This arrest is another affront to our rights and freedoms and should alarm and enrage us.
Michael Keaton: "When Trump said ‘I could shoot somebody on 5th Avenue and they’d still vote for me,’ basically what he’s saying is these people are so stupid, they’d still vote for me. They have no respect for you, trust me."
Minnesota believes in law and order. We believe in peace. And we believe that Trump needs to pull his 3,000 untrained agents out of Minnesota before they kill another American in the street.
Principally against platforming Pakistan cricket, but Pakistan’s desi ecosystem whining about sportsmanship & ‘don’t mix politics’ is comedy.
The rules have changed.
They earned every ounce of this treatment.
