@honigstein An honest question: If everyone tried to play like Spain, wouldn't that sort of homogeneity, sameness make everything boring?

Been at a lot of cricket in my life. Travelled the world. But this feels as special as any of them.

The team of inherited heartbreak has finally won their first world title. Against Australia, at Lord's.

They lived in the shade for the longest time, no one deserves the sun more.

As someone who has kept a close eye on the ever emerging disinformation landscape in India, here is my advice for you, in case you’re going insane from all the news:

1. Don’t watch YouTube, don’t watch tv news.

2. Read legacy newspapers the next morning—The Hindu, Hindustan Times, The Indian Express. The papers are not perfect but they’re a key to keeping you sane. Also read wire services such as Reuters.

3. Stay in touch with your family.

Caste much? Or are we still insistent on (in)visiblizing caste in West Bengal? @psr_here weighs in on this ongoing debate in the @IndianExpress. Do read and share!

This is utterly repulsive!

Trump and Vance just tried to humiliate Zelensky live on American TV, smugly demanding gratitude while openly mocking him like playground bullies counting favors. My respect for Zelensky—and my embarrassment as an American—just surged off the charts. I’m beyond disgusted!”

“Who?”

“Not who, but where. The Olympics, in France. You’ve always been our best shooter.”

She was gang-raped at 12, became a mother at 13. Then the son she gave away tracked her down and together, they fought back.

I got the chance to talk to her and her son for this story. Please do read!

I’m very sad to read that Donald Sutherland has died at the age of 88. I don’t have many celebrity stories, but I do treasure my spectacular interactions with Donald in the summer of 2015. Please do read on. (1/16) https://t.co/TtYVnrl7dS

Please do read and share.

[Shivani Kapoor @shii_vani]

On point and absolutely timely @psr_here connects CAA and citizenship questions with political deification and factionalism to argue why Matua votes are absolutely crucial in the upcoming elections. Do read @IndianExpress

🚨 #ExpressInvestigation — Now free to read!

Since 2014, as many as 25 politicians facing action from Central agencies for alleged corruption have crossed over to the BJP. For 23, their political move has translated into reprieve.

Three points on #Zomato policy:

1. Free market is brahminical.
2. Casteist capital is hegemonic (from Sudha Murthy's separate spoons to Zomato's separate delivery plan).
3. Indicator of June 4 results so that this nonsense continues to get support of the establishment.

Oh boy! Always knew the obscure doctoral work on smell and caste will one day be handy in a public debate. Smells carry caste & discrimination. How we smell & what we smell is deeply political & in our case, framed by caste. Read more here. DM for pdf.

Not sure how it happened but a bus crashed into a building near Tottenham Court Road Station. Police, Fire Brigade and ambulance in attendance.

If more than a decade of research and contemporary politics could culminate in a photograph, it would be this. Gaurakshak Shoes. Somewhere in Uttar Pradesh.
