Over 300,000 people die of drowning each year. In order to protect society, it is now illegal to consume or possess water.
Your government is also considering banning solid food, as it presents a needless choking hazard.

CEOs are uniquely prone to AI psychosis because they’re sufficiently distant from the last mile of work that still has to happen to generate most value with AI.
So when they play with AI, they see the happy path results, often not considering the next 10 or 20 things that have to happen to get sustainable results from agents.
“Look I made this awesome product prototype”. Yes but you didn’t have to review the code before it went into production and fix a bunch of issues.
“Look I generated a contract”. Yes but you didn’t verify all the terms before it goes out to the counterparty and didn’t have to wire up all the past contracts to work with.
The best thing you can do as a CEO is to use AI a *ton* to figure out the real implications of agents in the enterprise, and come out the other side with an appreciation for both the upside and the real work that goes into them.
The #E20 fuel cover-up is clearly a full-blown scam. Check out this coordinated stonewalling from the Govt and OMCs:
1️⃣ Ministry of Petroleum sat on the RTI for 2 months, then shuffled it away.
2️⃣ ARAI claims the actual testing data is a "confidential" state secret.
3️⃣ HPCL & BPCL shut down the RTI, hilariously claiming that asking for a physical report is "seeking an opinion."
4️⃣ IOCL just replied by pointing me to the generic NITI Aayog roadmap already in the public domain—completely dodging the actual test reports.
They are playing bureaucratic games because the truth is terrifying: SIAM's own official stance warns that putting E20 in incompatible vehicles isn't just about losing mileage - it is a massive safety risk.
There are no hidden success reports. The Ministry lied in their press release, the OMCs are complicit, and millions of Indian motorists are being forced to drive ticking time bombs on a ghost policy @HindustanPetroleum @BPCLimited@IndianOilcl@PetroleumMin@siamindia@arai_india@HardeepSPuri
@atulmodani . @Dev_Fadnavis you seem to be demotivating solar while @narendramodi is promoting solar. It's state vs central when at both places @BJP4India is in power.
Can you clarify what's what? Are you pro solar or not?

SUPREME COMEDY
In 2005, the Chief Information Commissioner asked the Supreme Court to disclose the assets of its judges.
The Supreme Court didn’t like the idea. “We don’t take orders — we give them.”
Instead of complying, the Supreme Court challenged the order before the Delhi High Court.
The Delhi High Court ruled that the information must be disclosed.
The Supreme Court then appealed that decision before a 2-judge bench of the Delhi High Court.
The 2-judge bench sent the matter back, saying it concerns the Supreme Court itself and should be decided by the Supreme Court.
So the Supreme Court effectively became the judge in its own case.
A single-judge bench then said the matter should be decided by a 3-judge bench.
The 3-judge bench kept the case pending for eight years before concluding that it should be heard by a 5-judge bench.
Finally, in 2019, the 5-judge bench delivered its verdict. It didn’t direct judges to declare their assets. It only said that whatever information the Supreme Court already has can be disclosed.
Which means, if a judge never declares his assets, there’s nothing to disclose.
Comedy? Maybe.
Funny? Not really.

Modi govt should use the UPA era trick of issuing oil bonds to keep energy prices low.
Pass the debt onto future generations. Why take the blame now?
Name them as "Dr. Manmohan Singh memorial oil bonds" in honor of the greatest economist of all time...

Govt has made sale of E20 petrol mandatory from Apr 1. Here's a quick reminder about relevant things:
1. It was originally mandated to be rolled out by 2030, and it was logical because by then most of the existing vehicles would have been replaced by E20-compliant vehicles. But the govt rolled it out five years earlier, thinking of it as some achievement, like eradication of polio, that you do it sooner, the better.
2. Most of the vehicles in India currently are E20 non-compliant. Running them with E20 surely damages the parts. If non-E20-compliant vehicles can be run on E20 fuel, what's the point of E20-compliant vehicles then? The damage, however, is mostly slow and will show impact in the coming years.
3. But why does data from other countries show no damage to cars running on E20? Because they first replaced the existing vehicles with compliant vehicles and then introduced E20. And even then, they kept the option of E0, E5, and E10 available for a minuscule population who didn't have E20-compliant cars. India is the only country that introduced E20 without first phasing out non-compliant cars. It’s like rolling out 6G without introducing 6G handsets in the market, while simultaneously withdrawing 2G, 3G, 4G, and 5G.
4. But my car is E20-compliant. Why should I worry? Lol! Because it doesn't end with E20. The goal is to move to E27, E30, and further ahead over time. So your today-purchased E20 car, in all likelihood, won't have compliant fuel in the coming years.
5. But it's good for the country. Yes, it is, but it was still good for the country if it was rolled out properly. As per the original plan, by 2030. They are rolling it out without phasing out the non-compliant vehicles, who are in the majority. So eventually people will pay the price of this haphazard policy decision.
6. I'm not a deep state agent.
