@jaKnChill @thenewsminute Bro..let's defend our city by saying..

Our city must be having a lot more food places than any other metro city so this is possible.

Also, this shows that the system is working, and authorities are doing their work.

😆

@abhijeet_dipke Who is responsible for the institutional murders of these students?

[Mr Sharma @sharma_views]

THIS IS HOW THEY TREAT STUDENTS ASKING FOR JUSTICE 😡

REPORTER: The lights are cut. Water is blocked. How will you sustain?

ABHIJEET 🔥: Are we criminals? Are we terrorists? Why are we being treated like one?

REPORTER: Police say after 5 PM your protest is illegal.

ABHIJEET 🎯: Then will they not give us water? Is there a Supreme Court order saying people cannot drink water?

REPORTER: Did you get permission?

ABHIJEET 😠: Permission for what? To drink water? This is a basic human rights violation.

Umar Khalid’s brilliant PhD thesis has just been published as a book. It is a rigorously researched and richly readable history of Adivasis in Chotanagpur. May his cruel incarceration end soon, and Dr Khalid write more fine works of historical scholarship.

Primarily, you do not identify as Hindu, and secondarily, you are engaging in a competitive activity against Adani. Such an occurrence was inevitable. This represents a typical occurrence within the Indian context.

@PrasadPeketi @KTRBRS must explain! Don't you keep portraying #Hyderabad as a global city, why such issues even after your party was in power for 10 years since 2014!? Is real estate only development? Why are tier 2 and 3 towns not developed? Was there any focus on encouraging public transport

The government of India is blocking my posts on Instagram that criticizes Homeopathy based on a directive from the Homeopathy Council. This is very shameful of the government...protecting pseudoscience and it's practitioners from scientific scrutiny.

Children in Meghalaya, Jharkhand and Maharashtra are still wading through rivers and walking ten kilometres on broken paths just to reach class while Narendra Modi and Dharmendra Pradhan brag about digital India as this is not viksit Bharat but it is cruel neglect.

The founder of failed Indian technology firm Byju’s was sentenced to six months in jail by a Singapore court for contempt, according to people familiar with the matter.

It’s the first time a judge has threatened to imprison the once high-flying entrepreneur, who founded one of India’s highest-profile tech startups before a post-Covid slump pummeled the business. https://t.co/polepBVLzT

Apologies to the marshals & FIA for making their job harder than it needed to be. Lots of emotions in the moment.

🦔Microsoft canceled its internal Claude Code licenses this week after token-based billing made the cost untenable, even for a company with effectively infinite cloud resources. Uber's CTO sent an internal memo warning the company burned through its entire 2026 AI budget in just four months. American AI software prices have jumped 20% to 37%, and GitHub (owned by Microsoft) is dropping flat-rate plans for usage-based billing across its products.

My Take
The AI subsidy era is ending in real time. The same company that put $13 billion into OpenAI and built the Azure infrastructure powering most of Anthropic's compute just looked at the bill from a competitor's coding tool and decided it was not worth paying. That is not a productivity failure on Anthropic's end. Token-based pricing is forcing every enterprise customer to confront the actual cost of running these models at scale, and the number turns out to be far higher than the flat-rate experiments suggested.

This ties directly to my Gemini Flash post yesterday. Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google all raised effective prices in the last six months. Enterprises that built workflows assuming AI costs would keep falling are now watching annual budgets evaporate in months. Two outcomes look likely from here. Either enterprises scale back AI usage to fit budgets, which slows the revenue ramp the labs need to justify their valuations ahead of IPOs, or the labs cut prices and absorb the losses, which makes the unit economics worse at exactly the wrong moment. Both paths land in the same place, the numbers stop working, and somebody has to take the writedown.

@Lasyalovesearth @TheNaveena maybe, we must excuse him for being disconnected with the reality in the country?

[Prashanth Akunuri @prashanthaku]

@TheNaveena He should also help us by stopping international and regional travel, especially to campaign in elections. He is always doing these, isn't it? Can his supporters deny it?

[Chinmayi Sripaada @Chinmayi]

As heartbreaking as it is to see this as a mother of a son and a daughter

This is what happens when your kids are around men who are abusers and harassers.

This child has no idea what he is doing, his video will be on the internet forever, and he will likely do this when he is older, and see a police station.

All stemming back to his childhood and exposure to an older abusive man who should never be around kids.

#Traffic in Cyberabad has long been linked only to IT workforce and office rush hours.
But a new ground survey revealed how school pick-ups and drop-offs are now creating peak-time congestion of their own.
