And we are supposed to use engine on-off at traffic signals to save fuel

11 litros de combustível por segundo. É isso que o motor de um F-16 consome em pós-combustão máxima. Em 4 minutos de teste, ele queima mais do que o seu carro em um ano inteiro. O cone de fogo que sai do bocal não é efeito: é diamante de choque supersônico.

Kinda strange how Gujaratis will always find everything wrong with Marathis but would rather die than go back to Gujarat.

@20_1NM Yes unfortunately no idea when if at all we will get them.

[Hasan alrabay @HasanEssam29636]

Almost everyone who survives Gaza and goes abroad, even with advanced medical tests, discovers cancer in their body. The number is staggering, countless people, and every day new strange diseases appear… Here in Gaza, these rare illnesses, never seen by doctors before, keep emerging without explanation, with no proper testing equipment and no treatment available.

How is this even possible? How can we live amid the destruction and siege, watching our bodies deteriorate with no way to understand or confront the damage? Here, we have no tests, no treatment, as if we are living experiments left to collapse.

The weapons dropped on us do not just kill immediately they leave survivors suffering for life. Advanced missiles, destructive munitions, everything is used against us without mercy, as if our lives mean nothing. Those who survive the bombing… will never truly survive the diseases that follow.

It is truly shocking and bewildering… We are in the largest human testing ground on Earth. Children grow up amid fear and pain, our bodies break down relentlessly, and the whole world ignores us as if we don’t exist.

Each day, our sense of helplessness grows, and every day brings a new shock at the scale of the damage that is almost impossible to believe.

"Nationalism,” John Le Carre once said, is “quite different from patriotism. For nationalism you need enemies.”

@saukgp @Aunindyo2023 I have my Grandad’s HMT Janata somewhere in the house. Will dig it out. I still remember the font Janata was written in…

[Aunindyo Chakravarty @Aunindyo2023]

In the last few days I learnt that Titan made India's first great watches.

Silly 54-year-old me!

I used to think that was HMT.

Also, somehow the new Land Rover Defender has always reminded me of the wonderful Skoda Yeti.

I'm crashing out so hard today. I am tired of escort culture becoming mainstream. I'm tired of onlyfans I'm tired of escorts on Instagram I'm tired of trad wife hooker aesthetics I'm tired of the horrors of dating apps and fly me out apps the horrors of men following escorts on Instagram through my youth I'm tired of people referring to women here as e girls or posting photos to brag about how many girls they've been with I'm tired of how transactional dating has become I'm tired of dating apps. What happened to us? Most of us are normal people and we got swallowed into this horrible culture. im tired that normal people can't be normal I'm tired of the Tik Tok advice that teaches you to become a hooker and the manosphere that teaches men that their only value is money and to treat women like a game. When did we let this happen? What happened to our society? What ever happened to just being normal respectable guys and normal women!! When did we let the absolute deplorable low class people set social norms? This is worse than new money this is like... money from hell on steroids ... and everyone is adjusting to it. It has seeped through every part of society. It is worse than hell

[CPI (M) @cpimspeak]

We remember Birsa Munda, legendary adivasi leader, freedom fighter and warrior against feudal landlords, on the 126th anniversary of his martyrdom. We take inspiration from his anti-colonial legacy and uncompromising fight for adivasi control over jal, jangal and jamin. Ulgulan Zindabad!

CPI(M) lost Bengal in 2011, lost election after election, saw its vote share collapse from over 26% to below 5%, and was virtually wiped out from legislative and parliament. Yet after 16 years of relentless defeats, the party remains intact, active on the streets, and continues to fight on people's issues.

Trinamool, on the other hand, shows all the symptoms of a party built around power rather than principles. The moment political uncertainty appears, factions begin scrambling for survival, leaders start looking for new masters, and many drift towards the BJP. That is the difference between ideology and opportunism.

A party rooted in conviction can survive decades of defeat. A party held together by power starts falling apart the moment power looks vulnerable. The real test of a political movement is not how it behaves in victory, but how it survives defeat.

If you want to push back against tech’s encroachment into every corner of our lives, you need to be reading books. They’re keen to create a world in which most people are illiterate & addicted to slop, a world without poetry, imagination or knowledge. Reading is resistance.

The capitalist obsession with rapid growth at all costs is literally the function of cancer cells.

[Give A Shit About Nature @giveashitnature]

That bread you're tossing to the ducks malnourishes the adults and can leave the babies unable to fly for the rest of their lives.

Bread is junk food for a duck. It fills them up so they quit foraging for the bugs, plants, and seeds that actually feed them.

In a growing duckling, a diet that heavy in empty carbs makes the wing grow too fast and twist at the joint. The feathers jut out sideways, the wing never works right, and the bird is grounded for good. It's called angel wing, and in an adult it can't be undone.

It doesn't stop at the birds. A pond where people dump bread gets crowded and aggressive, ducklings never learn to find their own food, and the soggy leftovers rot into algae blooms and draw rats.

If you want to feed them, give them food, not filler: cracked corn, oats, halved grapes, chopped lettuce, a handful of thawed peas.

Better yet, just watch them. A healthy pond already feeds its ducks. They were doing fine before the bread showed up.

🧵In 1920s in US, cigarette sales hit a wall. Most men who were likely to smoke were already customers. Tobacco companies saw women as largely untapped market.

American Tobacco Company hired Edward Bernays (father of PR & modern propaganda) to promote & normalize smoking… (1/n)
