No country in the world celebrates that someone has topped to become the number one bureaucrat. UPSC topper.
Everytime I see that....I feel like vomitting. Someone topping to become Zamindaar. 😀
Every day, we're trapped in the paradox of the "Schrödinger’s immigrant", a mythical outsider who exists simultaneously as a lazy welfare dependent & an unstoppable machine taking all the jobs(both skilled & unskilled).
The immigrant remains a highly convenient shape shifting scapegoat designed to explain away ALL complex, systemic domestic failures.
Keeping this paradox alive ensures politicians never have to answer for a decade of chronic underinvestment, flatlining productivity, & broken infrastructure.
I will tell you how we got here.
This app turned American public discourse into a video game, where whoever could get the biggest insult-mob on their side "won".

In his first speech as Tamil Nadu chief minister, Vijay said that he grew up in poverty, and that he even knows what hunger is. It's bullshit because he was my classmate in the third standard in Loyola School.
His father was a filmmaker who set up his son for a career in films.
It is possible that like most filmmakers his father may have had periods of financial strife but that's not the same as Tamil-grade poverty. A lot of affluent boys confuse being broke with poverty. Two very different things.
Kudos to @avatans for bringing this important and often overlooked conversation into the mainstream in @WSJ on religious freedom from the perspective of non-proselytizing religions.

The Devil Wears Prada is very meta in such a cool way. It’s a film about how it’s a privilege to be in the business of making things and how it’s not easy to keep making these things that are loved by millions.
A distinct arthouse film, legacy sequel, blockbuster of the highest level, wild creative swing, and psychological thriller.
No one is doing it like her!!
@MarkJCarney You go first. Pull your daughter out of Harvard, sell your house in the USA, sell your stocks in American Companies, and get Brookfield to HQ in Canada again. I’ll take it seriously when you do!
