#SingappenSpecialForce (SSF) was launched yesterday with 354 crore and a stadium ceremony.

As a criminologist who studies policing, I want to explain using the actual GO why this is likely a visible policing theatre, not a crime reduction initiative! 1/11

ஆனால், தமிழில் ஒருவர் 'தற்கொலை செய்து கொண்டார்' என்பது தொடர்ந்து பயன்படுத்தப்படுகிறது. 'தற்கொலை மூலம் உயிரிழந்தார்' என்றே குறிப்பிடப்பட வேண்டும் என்று நினைக்கிறேன். அதனை ஒரு வினைச் சொல்லாக குறிப்பதை தவிர்க்க வேண்டும்.

Thoughts?

Thread on suicide reporting!

While reporting on suicide related news in english, especially among teens, there is a good reason why we use 'died by suicide' instead of 'committed suicide'. It refrains from describing it as an action word. 1/2

The Madras High Court's recent judgement on cow slaughter needs a better read than just a headline glance. It has the potential to disrupt the already infected information eco chamber and fuel conflicting narratives.

One-third of all prisoners under preventive detention in India are from Tamil Nadu, according to NCRB’s 2024 prison data.

Among them, Dalits account for 31.2% of detainees, despite forming only around one-fifth of TN’s population. The data also shows a large number of detainees are young and from economically vulnerable backgrounds.

Police defend preventive detention as necessary to control crime and violence. But lawyers and rights activists argue that these laws are increasingly being used beyond exceptional situations, pulling more first-time and marginalised offenders into the system.

Worked on this story looking beyond the numbers and into what preventive detention really means in practice.

🇨🇳🌌Chinese scientists crack one of the cosmos' wildest mysteries

Researchers at China’s Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory have identified a cosmic particle accelerator 100 times more powerful than the Large Hadron Collider — inside the Milky Way

Ultra-high-energy gamma rays exceeding 100 trillion electron-volts were detected from binary star system LS I +61° 303 that consists of a massive star orbiting a neutron star or black hole every 26.5 days

High-energy protons accelerate during orbital phases and collide with stellar winds to produce gamma rays

This overcomes the usual energy drain from strong magnetic fields that previously puzzled scientists

Identifying this system as a potential "PeVatron" - a natural accelerator of the universe’s most powerful particles - could advance a new kind of astronomy that doesn’t just rely on light, but also on cosmic rays and ghostly particles called neutrinos

DMK did won a re-election in TN. In 1971, M. Karunanidhi was the CM, following C. Annadurai. Assembly and Parliament elections were held together. DMK Alliance, Cong (I) included won a majority in the election. Albeit the only time, DMK did retain power in TN @sardesairajdeep

[Rajdeep Sardesai @sardesairajdeep]

Whatever happens tomorrow , history will be created:
1) Will Stalin-led DMK do what even his father couldn’t in TN: win a re-election?
2) Will Vijay be a first day first show super hit?
3) Will Mamata Banerjee become only the third CM to win four consecutive elections in a big state (after Jyoti Basu and Naveen Patnaik)?
4) Will BJP finally breach the Bengal barrier and create history ?
5) will BJP get a hat-trick in Assam?
6) will India not have a left run govt in any state after decades if Cong wins Kerala ?
Lots to look forward to: see you early morning. @IndiaToday @aajtak . Good night, shubhratri!

Justice Ujjal Bhuyan of #SupremeCourt flags low conviction rates in UAPA cases. Pointing out that the conviction rate is less than 5%, he asks why people must be kept in jail for years under UAPA.

"This shows that vast majority of persons arrested were not convicted, indicating that many arrests may have been premature and unsupported by sufficient evidence. With a conviction percentage being less than 5% and a chance of acquittal being 95%, the question is why should an accused be confined to jail for years and years together?. 5 years or 6 years without charges being framed, without a chargesheet being filed, can this go on? This can't be a model for Viksit Bharat" - Justice Bhuyan said
