us are not. They speak in easy language and give exam oriented lessons that appeals to many. We can debate the pros and cons of this style of teaching, but to dismiss these teachers and not recognise their value is being foolhardy.

Right now in the metro and most kids heading for the exams are watching some YouTube tutorial. As a college teacher, it is not pleasant to admit this, but the YouTube teachers definitely have a way of communicating which is able to reach the students in a way that perhaps many of

Today, I signed an Executive Order temporarily repealing bedtimes in the City of New York so that kids of all ages can watch our team in the NBA Finals.

As Mayor, you’re forced to make many difficult decisions. This was not one of them.

Go Knicks.

Another good news from Bengal.

Under the ongoing hawker eviction drive, notices have now started being issued to booksellers in College Street ... or our beloved Boi Para.

Street that dedicated to books. world’s largest 2nd hand book market & India’s largest one.

Congrats. 🥀

Artificial intelligences do not undergo experiences, do not possess a body, do not feel joy or pain, do not mature through relationships, and do not know from within what love, work, friendship or responsibility mean. Nor do they have a moral conscience, since they do not judge good and evil, grasp the ultimate meaning of situations, or bear responsibility for consequences. They may imitate or even simulate, but they do not understand what they produce, for they lack the affective, relational, and spiritual perspective through which human beings grow in wisdom. #MagnificaHumanitas

Correction. Blinkit didn't create 1,85,000 jobs. It created 1,85,000 people who own their own vehicles, pay for their own fuel, have no fixed salary, no PF, no ESI, no sick leave, no job security and are one algorithm update away from losing their entire income.

These men work 12-14 hours a day across three apps simultaneously just to clear twenty thousand a month. No company bears the cost of their health, their accident, their family. They are not employees but infrastructure. Invisible, replaceable and deliberately kept contractor coded so the balance sheet stays clean.

The 'jobs created' number is a marketing figure. It counts every delivery partner who ever downloaded the app. It does not count how many quit. How many were injured with zero compensation. How many are still waiting for their incentive payout.

And yes this entire ecosystem exists because people are too comfortable to walk to a market. That comfort is being subsidized by men who cannot afford the same comfort themselves.

And I don't give a shit about kunal kamra or raghav chaddha.

First learn the difference between a job and a gig before you make a PowerPoint about it.

THANK YOU POPE LEO FOR SAYING THIS.

Yes, yes, very monastic and privileged of you to find God in the silence, but can you find Him in the horrid deafening cacophony?

Some of you have forgotten that only three years ago you were perfectly capable of writing an essay, writing a eulogy, telling a bedtime story to a child, and it should worry you that powerful companies have convinced us we can’t do things we’ve been doing for 5,000 years.
