India is a poor country with a rich government.

Welcome to Mumbai’s newest flyover worth ₹248 crore. At 750 metres of road, that’s ₹33 lakh a metre.

And it opened this week full of potholes.

The flyover is named after the iconic Mrinal Tai Gore, who spent her whole life fighting so ordinary Mumbaikars got a life of dignity.

After seven years, three cost revisions, and a daily penalty on the contractor - this is all they could come up with to honour her?

But kya karein. This is the standard now under the triple-engine sarkar. Cut the ribbon. Click the photo. Leave the potholes for us. Bajao taali.

Dharmendra Pradhan won’t resign because accountability is contagious. If he goes, Hardeep Singh Puri is next. Then Ashwini Vaishnaw. Then Nirmala Sitharaman. Pull one domino and the entire chain of manufactured invincibility comes crashing down.

This is the screen recording of our audience demographic which we have shared with media before our account was hacked.

More than 94% of the audience is from India.

Why is a Union Minister @KirenRijiju labelling Indian youth as Pakistani?

[Helle Lyng @HelleLyngSvends]

Primeminister of India, Narendra Modi, would not take my question, I was not expecting him to.

Norway has the number one spot on the World Press Freedom Index, India is at 157th, competing with Palestine, Emirates & Cuba.

It is our job to question the powers we cooperate with.

I have written to Bhushan Gagrani ji, the municipal commissioner of Mumbai about the city being in the terrible grip of pollution and the sadist hobby of the regime to keep felling trees.

The letter requests him to:
1) Immediately stop private construction for a week till the Air Quality improves.

2) Stop the hacking of 45,000 mangroves and find alternatives to the project- like taking it underground or increase the length of the spans of the flyover

3) Save the Back Garden of Colaba from the concretisation proposal, apparently being pushed by the relatives of the Speaker of the Assembly. Let the garden be natural

4) Save the Racecourse from the proposal of underground carparks and contractor driven works.

He's not just defending AI energy use. He is smuggling in a whole anthropology where humans are basically inefficient meat computers that you have to pour food and years into before they become useful. And once you accept that, the next move is obvious. If people are just costly biological training runs, then burning mountains of electricity to build synthetic intelligence starts to feel not only equal, but superior, even if it negatively impacts actual humans.

That is the dystopian. It makes human development sound like a bug in the system, and it makes sacrificing human and creational flourishing for more computational power sound logical. To him, the grid gets strained, prices go up, ecosystems get hit, but hey, humans eat too, so what's the difference?

The difference is that humans aren't an inefficient line item. They're the point. If your worldview can look at a child growing into an adult and describe it as energy spent to train intelligence, you haven't said something profound. You've revealed a horrifically rotten worldview.

When you start thinking of about 75% of the mainstream media as a social media agency with one massive client. Their programming starts to make a lot of sense. Also they’re solid on deliverables, quick turnaround, solid traction, worth the retainer 👍

Saw this and it shook me to my core

[Aaditya Thackeray @AUThackeray]

It’s shameful to see an adult, in a responsible seat as that of the Chief Minister to touch the veil of a lady in front of him.

In any other nation, the ruling establishment would have punished such an act, the media would have lambasted this act and the person would have resigned from public life in shame.

Be it a hijab, be it a ghoongat, be it a face mask or be it whatever the lady is wearing, NOBODY has the right to touch her, or to pull it off or force it on.

What’s more disgusting is someone defending the act as “father figure” or a minister saying “touched only the naqab, what if he had had touched elsewhere”.
He must be your father figure, isn’t hers! And if he was, it still gives him no right to do this.

If this is the state of politics, and this is acceptable to you, remember it starts with them but comes to you.

When you don’t raise your voice for someone else facing injustice, thinking it’s someone else, the unjust act will come to you, and you won’t be able to raise your voice.

What a shame!

@BarcaColdPics @Kyboyonly14 Yes , they are good teams. What I meant was the kinda of matches we have played in UCL has exposed us. With such experiments at the back I'm not really sure we could manage high intensity games, I rather prefer Eric/Cubarsi/Christensen playing at CB

The key difference between Mohanlal and Mammootty lies in what stays with you after the movie.With a good Lal film,you walk out impressed by the entire experience,while for Mammootty its his outstanding performance that leaves a lasting impact, often overshadowing the film itself
