[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

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

You may have noticed that the word for ‘night’ in many languages appears to be that language’s word for ‘eight’ with an ‘N' in front of it.

English: N + eight = Night
German: N + acht = Nacht
French: N + huit = Nuit
Spanish: N + ocho = Noche
Italian: N + otto = Notte
Portuguese: N + oito = Noite

Long message, but trust me, it will be worth your time. Here is a remarkable update from Tamil Nadu’s tagged turtles. Early tracking data shows that some have already travelled to the Sri Lanka Dome, a little known ocean region where marine life gathers in extraordinary numbers. What makes this even more astonishing is that turtles migrating from Odisha are also expected to arrive in the same waters. Species from distant coastlines are converging at one natural marine hotspot shaped entirely by the rhythm of the ocean.

The Sri Lanka Dome is created by powerful seasonal ocean processes that bring cool, nutrient-rich waters to the surface. This fuels plankton blooms and attracts turtles, fish, whales, seabirds, and countless other marine species. It is one of the most productive upwelling zones in the world’s oceans, beginning in May, reaching its peak in July, and declining in September. At that time, the turtles move out of the region and begin their return migration once again.

These journeys reveal that turtles do not belong to one shoreline or one state. Their lives depend on a CONNECTED ocean, where feeding grounds, migration corridors, and breeding beaches all matter equally.

Places like the Sri Lanka Dome remain unknown to most people, yet they are among the most important ecosystems in the Indian Ocean, like hidden engines that sustain marine biodiversity.

The message from these turtles is clear. Conservation cannot stop at the beach. It must extend across borders and across seas because wildlife knows no boundaries 🙌🫶

A great Indian history resource out there is the YT channel of Vinay Lal. His work puts a damper on the idea that academic historians haven't done enough public outreach.

In some videos, he perceptively explains the many parallels betw colonial Britain & contemporary America:

This is such a disgusting way to talk about human beings. An entire country. It’s the Israel model of complete civilizational destruction. Sickening and indefensible.

There is very little time left so please email and circulate this.

I do *not* want an AI "summary" of an email, or a book, or a life. I do not want an AI summary of a winter sky, or my father's hands, or the hope in my child's eyes. I do not want an AI summary of the human heart, or the first little shiver of lust, or the long good work of love.

It takes real commitment to humour for the fisheries department to go “I want the office to be a big fish” and then going ahead and actually building it.

Only three stations in India - Raichur Jn (KA), Krishna Jn (TS) & H.S. Nanded (MH) have an unique distinction. These station boards/premises display five languages.

Nanded has Punjabi (in Gurmukhi script) as it houses Hazur Saheb Gurudwara, one of the five holy sites of Sikhism.

Karnataka - One state , two laws.

Citizens - can protest only in freedom park, after permission.

Big party politicians - protest anywhere, anytime, no permission required.

Allow all citizens the right to protest @DrParameshwara @siddaramaiah @RahulGandhi

The Bengaluru police is fully capable of handling huge crowds - if only they were given enough time to arrange and organise deployment. Remember barely a couple of years ago the same @BlrCityPolice @blrcitytraffic managed lakhs of people who came to pay respects to Puneeth Rajkumar at another stadium in the same CBD area.

The constantly changing information on nature of celebrations, multiple venues/halts extended the police beyond their capacity with very little time to plan.

This was a disaster that could have been avoided if:
1. Organisers - RCB, KSCA and State government had consulted with police before announcing their plans in a haphazard manner.
2. Given police the time to plan and execute crowd management and deployment protocols effectively.
You didn’t do your job well, you didn’t let them do their job well and what we have on our hands is a tragedy.
