D stock supporters speak sane only when they are in opposition. Hope they remain in opposition for eternity and voice out better.

This tweet might appear arrogant but it is the fact.

Agriculture contributes roughly 14% of TN GSDP.
Wheras Services contribute 53% and manufacturing 33%.

If Tamil Nadu wants to compete for global investments in IT, electronics, aviation, logistics and advanced manufacturing, world-class airport infrastructure is not optional.

Some will ask a silly abusibe question now
"Do eat food or something else "
People asking that aren't farmers. They work in the very service and manufacturing sectors that depend on infrastructure-driven growth.

George washed his hands hundreds of times a day. Four-hour showers. Repeated wallet checks. On November 11, 1983, at 19, he shot himself in the head with a .22 caliber rifle. The bullet lodged in his left frontal lobe, and within three weeks, his compulsions were nearly gone.

OCD runs in a loop. Scientists call it the CSTC circuit, connecting three brain regions in a ring. The orbitofrontal cortex, just above your eyes, handles risk assessment and that persistent sense that something is wrong. The basal ganglia manage automatic habits and movement. The thalamus routes signals between brain regions like a switchboard. In people with OCD, this loop gets stuck in overdrive. The orbitofrontal cortex keeps firing distress signals, the thalamus sends them back amplified, and the cycle never stops.

George's bullet damaged a node in this circuit, interrupting the cycle. His psychiatrist, who had been treating him for over a year with limited success, published the case in the British Journal of Psychiatry in 1987. He called it a "self-inflicted leucotomy," meaning an unintended surgery on the brain's OCD circuit.

Five years after the shooting, George had only trace residuals. He closed windows twice to check the latch. He was careful washing dishes, but none of it ate into his day the way it used to. He returned to school with the same grades he had before, finished high school, and started college.

OCD affects somewhere between 80 and 200 million people globally, roughly 2 to 3% of the world's population. About 40 to 60% of patients don't get sufficient relief from the standard treatments: antidepressants targeting serotonin, combined with a behavioral therapy called exposure and response prevention, where patients gradually face feared situations without completing the ritual until the anxiety drops on its own. Around 10% remain severely disabled despite trying everything available.

For that last group, doctors now target the same circuit the bullet hit. Deep Brain Stimulation, approved in the US as a last-resort treatment, implants thin electrodes into the CSTC circuit and regulates activity with electrical pulses. A meta-analysis of 116 patients published in PLOS ONE found a 60% response rate in treatment-resistant cases.

George's case didn't create that treatment. It handed neuroscientists the clearest evidence they'd ever had: break the loop, and the compulsions stop.

The never ending loop of deal between US and Iran!

[The Kobeissi Letter @KobeissiLetter]

BREAKING: Iran's Speaker of the Parliament Ghalibaf responds after Israel attacks Beirut, Lebanon, on the same day President Trump said a peace deal was coming.

He says the Israeli attacks have "shown that America either lacks the will to fulfill its commitments or the ability to do so."

"By giving the green light to the regime, you cannot gain concessions. The game of bad cop and good cop is outdated. If you lack the will and ability to fulfill your commitments, speaking of continuing the path is not possible," Ghalibaf says.

The Iran Deal appears to be at risk again.

The US job market is showing further signs of weakness:

Only 9% of small business owners said in May that they plan to hire over the next 3 months, the lowest since May 2020.

Excluding the 2020 pandemic, this is the lowest reading in 10 years.

Small business hiring plans have trended lower over the last 6 months.

Historically, this has been a leading indicator for nonfarm private payrolls by roughly 4 months.

This comes as small firms account for ~46% of all US private sector employment and suggests that private payroll growth could turn negative as early as Q3.

Hiring demand among small firms is weakening.

@Keerthana4VNR ma'am. You went to S.Korea recently. Even for that you had take a connecting flight as Chennai doesn't have one. Korean airports are so good. How do you expect to convince investors to come invest in TN when your capital city has a third class Airport? Speak up!!

Imtiyaz Ali and his accomplices attacked BJP Yuva Morcha leader Vinod Kumar with hammers and shovels in Dehradun.

Hindu girls were seen screaming and crying, but the attackers didn't stop — Vinod was killed on the spot.

Three other Hindus from his family seriously injured.

India has decided to study and fix “unnatural and abnormal demographic shifts due to illegal migration in border areas.”

PM Modi has tasked Union Home Minister Amit Shah to take action on the issue.

Illegal immigration is now classified as a serious risk to India’s national security and social cohesion.

A High-Level Committee on Demographic Changes is being crated. Headed by the retired Supreme Court judge Justice Prakash Prabhakar Naolekar, it will study shifts across India due to “illegal immigration and other unnatural causes,” their impacts on border areas, urban centers, industrial hubs, tribal regions and recommend policy, administrative, and legal fixes.

Home Minister Shah has issued new instructions in border areas requiring District Magistrates (DMs) and Superintendents of Police (SPs) to strictly monitor and regularly report on demographic changes.

This includes setting up Security Coordination Groups, deporting settled infiltrators (involving everyone from police stations to patwaris) and enforcing migration laws.

Both minister Shah and PM Modi have previously described the demographic changes in border villages as a “deliberate design” via encroachments from abroad and have pointed to the impact it has had in regions such as Assam, West Bengal, Bihar, Tripura and tribal areas.

They warn that the demographic shifts from infiltration have direct security implications along India’s borders with Pakistan, Bangladesh and Myanmar.

Proactive data collection will help enforce migration laws and manage population dynamics seen as a long-term challenge to India’s stability through new strategies for deportation, border management and counter-migration urban planning.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Bitcoin ETF outflows are accelerating:

US Bitcoin ETFs have posted -$2.1 billion in outflows so far in June, on pace to exceed -$2.4 billion in outflows recorded in May.

This has been driven by the largest spot Bitcoin ETF, $IBIT, which saw -$401.4 million in outflows this week, the 5th consecutive weekly outflow and the longest streak since October 2025.

During this outflow stretch, $IBIT has recorded -$4.2 billion in cumulative withdrawals.

Year-to-date, $IBIT has recorded -$412.4 million in net outflows, a reversal from 2 consecutive years of massive inflows.

In 2024 and 2025, this fund attracted +$36.8 billion and +$24.8 billion, respectively.

Crypto investor sentiment remains under pressure.
