7 years ago, Como were playing in the 𝟰𝗧𝗛 𝗗𝗜𝗩𝗜𝗦𝗜𝗢𝗡 of Italian football... 👀
Next season, they’ll be playing Champions League. 🤯
Absolutely 𝘽𝙍𝙄𝙇𝙇𝙄𝘼𝙉𝙏 achievement from Cesc Fàbregas and his team. 👏

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.
Let me educate you, slowly. 👇
Nehru donated 98% of his personal wealth to the nation, worth ₹12,000 crore in today’s money. Before he even became PM. No camera. No rally. No clap.
1962 war - Indians donated SO much gold and cash to Nehru’s National Defence Fund that the RBI still hasn’t spent all of it. Women gave their mangalsutras. Their bangles. Everything. Voluntarily. Because they trusted him.
Indira Gandhi? Donated her own personal gold jewellery to the National Defence Fund during the war. Not a speech. Not appeals. She gave first.
And Modi? Stood at a BJP election rally in Hyderabad and asked YOU, the common Indian, to sacrifice your gold.
Meanwhile India’s forex reserves sit at $691 BILLION; enough for 11 months of imports. The crisis he’s managing looks suspiciously well-funded.
Nehru led a poor, newly independent nation; no forex, no reserves, fresh wounds of partition; and still gave before he asked.
Modi leads one of the fastest growing economies, sits on $691B reserves, and asks a bride to skip her wedding jewellery.
One was a statesman. The other is a showman.
The difference isn’t policy. It’s character.
Sit down. 🤫
This is a brilliant explanation that DEBUNKS the incorrect definitions of socialism, communism, and capitalism peddled by Malayalam movies for many decades, which mislead Malayalis.👇🏻
@rayquazaio@Brutu24 Yes.Banning pan masala is not a simple solution because it affects farmers who produce its raw materials. Crops like areca nut and betel leaf (vettila) are major sources of income for farmers in states such as Kerala, Karnataka, and Assam.
What a shame man.
A foreign coach has to teach us basic civic sense. You guys are cricketers, at least have the basic sense of where to throw garbage. Will the coach have to teach that too now?
58,000 Americans died in Vietnam.
Over 3,000,000 Vietnamese died.
And for fifty years, American culture has centered the grief of the 58,000 while treating the 3,000,000 as a backdrop.
As scenery. As context. As "the Vietnam War experience."
They built a wall in Washington with American names on it.
A beautiful wall. A solemn wall.
Good. Mourn your dead.
But understand what that wall does not say.
It does not say why they died.
It does not say what they were doing there.
It does not say what was done in their name to the people whose country it actually was.
It does not mention My Lai, where American soldiers massacred an entire village, old men, women, children, babies, and the officer who ordered it served three years of house arrest before being pardoned.
Three years. House arrest. Pardoned.
For five hundred people murdered in a ditch.
It does not mention the 2.7 million acres of Vietnamese forest doused in Agent Orange, a chemical weapon disguised as herbicide, that is still deforming Vietnamese children today.
Not in 1970. Not in 1985. Today.
Children born in 2020 with bodies twisted by a war their grandparents fought.
And the chemical companies that made it are still in business.
Still profitable.
Still un-prosecuted.
And yet they send us human rights reports.
They grade our democracy.
They warn us about our behavior.
The audacity is so enormous it becomes almost impressive.
Almost.
