Early case of a national newspaper projecting Modi as the next Prime Minister, in December 2002, when Modi triggered and handily won the Gujarat elections in the aftermath of the Gujarat riots.

Somehow it took me this long to walk into pickleball. It was a basketball size indoor court with several concurrent games and like 100 players playing or waiting turn. The range is crazy, from lapsed aerobics types to straight up lungi-wearing uncle

This is like a voting bloc

Empathy is a weaker emotion than Schadenfreude.

Every morning I wake to the screams of terrified children, desperate crying, escape attempts, frazzled parents dragging them.

I live next to a pediatric dentist.

I grin into my coffee and tell the parents, "your turn"

For more than two months, I have been working on a truly horrific story about one of the gravest war crimes committed by the United States since Vietnam: The bombing of the Shajareh Tayyebeh school in Minab, Iran. It was one of the first targets struck in the opening hours of the war on February 28, 2026.

At least 156 people were killed in the U.S. cruise missile strikes—120 of them were children and 26 were teachers. We spoke to survivors, first responders, parents, doctors, teachers, psychologists, and other witnesses. Some of them had never before shared their experiences of that day.

It would be impossible to do justice to what happened in Minab that day with words alone. In more than 25 years in journalism and reporting on war, I do not believe I have reported on a more heinous single crime.

Modi's candidacy for PM was timed before his 2013 birthday setting up a 9-day celebration, incl Twitter followbacks, giant cakes & Marilyn Monroe style song by Mallika Sherawat.

It's been on since his 2005 press-friendly Chennai birthday with Muslim leaders.

List since 2014...

[joyojeet pal @joyopal]

@satishs the real question from this song for me was "yeh sala sabudana kyon dhundh raha hain"

This is getting forwarded online claiming those that go to Saudi come back radicalized or more conservative, but authors explicitly note selection bias.

To claim this, you'd need to ascertain first if more conservative ppl choose to go to Saudi over UAE etc as a baseline measure

Even well-meaning people have been sharing this study. The paper is valuable because it opens an important conversation with real data, but does the evidence support the strong headline claim? Let’s take a closer look 🧵

This is some kind of Chinese information warfare against parents who are wondering if they would have to threaten their children with electric shocks to make them eat this much, this neatly, this quietly.

[Sharing Travel @TripInChina]

Lunch for first-grade students in primary school.
In China, teachers often take videos of students eating, attending classes, and exercising, and send them to parents' WeChat groups.
Let parents know about their children's situation at school.

And when you send your kid to art classes they may think it is okay to carve their name with a stone on the side of your cao.

On the bright side you will stop worrying about scratches.

[joyojeet pal @joyopal]

Pro tip.

Never send your kid to an art class because you just need to get them out of the house somehow. They will build something random and ten years later, you will have a room full of 'invaluable art'.
