Worse service #amazonprimeday

[SayanK @Sayan85]

Dishonesty from Amazon + overconfidence + rude customer chat agents.
If you cannot handle the volume of order then just be honest and say that rather than putting it back on the customer saying the bank payment link is incorrect and the problem is at our end #amazoncustomercare

Khamenei is dead. Good.

But I have family in Iran. My dad is there right now. And I'm not celebrating yet. Here's why.

Iran built the most layered contingency plan on Earth for this exact moment. Four levels of succession for every key position. Pre-authorized military strikes. Regional commanders who don't need orders from Tehran to act.

As you read this, there is already a new Supreme Leader. We just don't know who.

This isn't Maduro. The government didn't get overthrown. The system absorbed the hit. That's what it was designed to do.

Every credible intel assessment says the same thing: a post-Khamenei Iran is more likely to get harder, not softer. More IRGC. More dangerous. Potentially worse for the Iranian people than Khamenei himself.

Don't breathe yet. There's a long way to go.

An Iranian man left this comment on my YouTube channel. This is without a doubt the single best explanation of the reality facing Iranian people today👇

"As an Iranian, I can tell you the situation is no longer just political—it's existential. We are trapped between two collapsing structures: one internal, one external. On one hand, we face a deeply dysfunctional government, led by the Supreme Leader and the Islamic Republic’s unelected institutions.

Decades of economic mismanagement, suppression of dissent, and brutal ideological control have alienated multiple generations. No one believes in reform anymore—because every attempt has either been co-opted or crushed. But here's the paradox: We are also terrified of regime collapse—because we've watched the aftermath of Western intervention in countries like Iraq, Libya, Syria, and Afghanistan. Each was promised freedom; each descended into chaos, civil war, or foreign occupation.

So no, we don't trust the U.S. or Israel. Not because we support our regime—but because we know how imperial powers treat ‘liberated’ nations in the Middle East.

Freedom, in their language, often means vacuum, fire, and permanent instability. Right now, many Iranians live with three truths at once: The Islamic Republic is morally and politically bankrupt. The alternatives offered by foreign actors are not liberation—they’re collapse.

A bad government is survivable. No government is not. We are not silent because we agree. We are cautious because we’ve learned—too well—what happens when superpowers decide to "help." In a sentence: Iran is a nation held hostage by its own regime, but haunted by the fate of its neighbors. We are stuck in a house we hate, surrounded by fires we fear more."

[Daniel Foubert 🇵🇱🇫🇷 @d_foubert]

Europe doesn't have "a problem". It has THREE problems: 3 European nations are suffering from a severe "post-imperial hangover".

First, there is the United Kingdom, a nation that voted for Brexit to "take back control" only to realize it has completely forgotten how to drive.

The British identity crisis is like watching a retired lion try to adopt a vegan diet. They traded imperial confidence for an HR department’s sensitivity training. The land of Churchill is now governed by a sprawling "nanny state" bureaucracy that is more terrified of offending someone on X than it is of actual decline. The British police, once the envy of the world, now seem to spend more resources investigating "non-crime hate incidents" and painting their patrol cars in rainbow colors than solving burglaries. It is a nation desperately clinging to the aesthetics of tradition—the Royals, the pomp, the tea—while its institutions have been hollowed out by a progressive rot that makes a California university campus look conservative. They want the swagger of the 19th century but are paralyzed by the emotional fragility of the 21st.

Then there is France, the angry, chain-smoking aunt of Europe who refuses to admit she’s been unemployed for decades.

France’s hangover manifests as a permanent state of insurrection masquerading as "civic engagement." Their identity is split between a delusional elite who still think Paris is the capital of the universe and a populace that expresses its "joie de vivre" by burning down bus stops every Thursday. The French suffer from a Napoleonic complex without a Napoleon; they demand the living standards of a conquering empire while working a 35-hour week and retiring at an age when most Americans are just hitting their stride. They preach "Republican values" and aggressive secularism, yet the state has lost control over vast swathes of its own suburbs. France is essentially a beautiful, open-air museum where the curators are on strike, the guards are afraid of the visitors, and the management is busy lecturing the rest of the world on "grandeur" while the electricity bill goes unpaid.

Finally, we have Germany, the neurotic giant that has decided the only way to atone for its history is to commit slow-motion industrial suicide.

Germany’s post-imperial hangover is a moral autoimmune disease: the country is so terrified of its own shadow that it has replaced national pride with aggressive self-flagellation and recycling regulations. Their identity is built on being the "Moral Superpower," which practically translates to shutting down their perfectly functional nuclear power plants to burn dirty coal, all while lecturing their neighbors on carbon footprints. It is a nation of engineers who have engineered a society that doesn't work. The German spirit, once defined by efficiency and discipline, has mutated into a paralyzed bureaucracy where filling out the correct form is more important than the outcome. They are so desperate to avoid being "threatening" that they’ve become essentially a large NGO with an army that has broomsticks for rifles, terrified that showing any backbone might be interpreted as a relapse.

It will be nice @IndiGo6E if you can feel the need to reach out to them.

[SayanK @Sayan85]

@IndiGo6E @airsewa_MoCA @MoCA_GoI
The sheer audacity of you calling up my parents and blaming them for being late and imposing penalties without any proof to basically cover up for your lack of professionalism and poor service, extortion is beyond belief!

[SayanK @Sayan85]

@IndiGo6E still no resolution provided. Only hollow promises, misinformation, excuses and lies

You have still not comeback on how you are compensating us for the mental harrasment. Returning our own luggage IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH! We demand the right compensation and apologies - 1 Tweet a Day until resolved

[SayanK @Sayan85]

@airsewa_MoCA
Due to lack of updates from @IndiGo6E , I have been forced to raise greivances with you. Would request you to please acknowledge and take action immediately so that we can get justice @MoCA_GoI

[SayanK @Sayan85]

@IndiGo6E it's been 11 days and there has been no concrete update on our missing luggage. This is extremely disappointing and I will be bound to take legal action and launch an FIR for stolen luggage. This is an intimation for the same @MoCA_GoI #indigoairlines

[Pavitra Parekh @PavitraParekh1]

The tax game 🥲

[SayanK @Sayan85]

@IndiGo6E At this moment when I am awaiting redressal of a long list of Grievances do you really think sending me templated responses and survey links are a good idea?

[SayanK @Sayan85]

@IndiGo6E @MoCA_GoI Thank you @IndiGo6E for the prompt reply, I have shared the necessary details on DM. Please acknowledge and respond on priority

[SayanK @Sayan85]

(2/7) To @IndiGo6E and @MoCA_GoI,

It started with delays, confusion over luggage tags at the check-in counter. Finally the boarding gate (44A), we reached at 6:33 am for a flight at 7 am and were informed that the gates were closed, contradicting the communication we got

[Mohammed Zubair @zoo_bear]

Do watch this compilation of Interviews given by PM Modi to Godi media Anchors in the past few months.
Great compilation by @thepeeinghuman 🙏
