While Kerala is busy celebrating the election results, one question is worth asking.

How many more years will we continue to complain about the same potholes, garbage piles, and broken streetlights without any real accountability?

We all have seen people sharing videos of broken roads and potholes. Journalists and Media houses are doing special presentations on TV, yet nothing changes.

The complaints stay loud for a few days and disappear.

Muhammed Roshan P S just changed that.

He built ParathiPetty (പരാതിപ്പെട്ടി), a live online public complaint box that runs entirely on WhatsApp.

You spot a civic problem, such as a pothole, a garbage pile, a broken streetlight, or a waterlogged road. You click a photo and send the location.

ParathiPetty classifies the issue and pins it on a public map, and shows live district-wise civic issue trends on a leaderboard.

No app. No signup. Phone numbers hidden. Only verified reports go public.

He has turned individual complaints into a permanent, public, searchable civic map, giving ordinary people the power to raise issues in a way that local politicians and officials cannot overlook.

My biggest takeaway?
->This isn’t just another complaint tool.
->This is accountability infrastructure.

This is the kind of grounded, practical innovation we celebrate at Kerala Product Hunt.

Huge respect to Roshan for not just talking about problems, but building a system that forces them to be addressed.

Would love to hear your thoughts below on how tools like ParathiPetty can help drive meaningful accountability in our communities.

A country that has nuclear weapons is threatening to use its nuclear weapons on the country it won’t allow to have nuclear weapons because if they had nuclear weapons they would ‘use them.’

Do we extend this sort of understanding to brown terrorists who were radicalised by seeing their families turned to mince by a drone strike on a wedding?

Israel has now seized a larger percentage of Lebanon's total landmass than Russia has taken from Ukraine since its 2022 invasion. The latter was immediately met with international uproar and unprecedented multi-sectoral sanctions while the former is barely even mentioned.

Where do I go to get my apology from Mark Regev, Eylon Levy, John Spencer, Alan Dershowitz, Douglas Murray, & Jonathan Conricus? All those pro-Israel pundits and government spokespersons who I debated since Oct 7 & who claimed the Gaza death toll was unreliable/inflated/fake?

[Huthaifa | حذيفة @Shack_Rat]

This video is a microcosm of how October 7 has been discussed and deliberately misframed.

If the Palestinian man had reacted at all, even in basic self-defense, the Israeli would’ve shot him on the spot and faced little to no consequence. That asymmetry is the operating reality; it’s not hypothetical.

What this footage captures is only a drop in an ocean of violence Palestinians have been subjected to for nearly eight decades. Yet when October 7 happened, the focus wasn’t on the daily, structural violence that preceded it (the settler who runs someone over, the soldier who humiliates, or the system that enables it all). Instead, the focus was placed squarely on the Palestinian who reacts, as if reaction exists in a vacuum.

That’s what this video exposes. One side’s permitted to brutalize, terrorize, and endanger lives in full view of the world, while the other’s expected to endure it quietly. If they don’t, they’re killed and then blamed for their own death.

@allgarbled The uncomfortable lesson: Blue checks get paid for engagement. A good way to farm engagement is to post dumb shit. People love pointing out how dumb someone is. Another good way is to post some vague commentary that entices people to guess at your meaning. This is twitter now.

The Indian Govt never questions why platforms like X are flooded with anti-India rhetoric. For every minor domestic issue, ministers are quick to react but when an entire platform has been weaponised for months with coordinated hate, propaganda, and targeted abuse against Indians, there is absolute silence from the govt, ministers, and even the media...
A handful of self proclaimed “nationalist” right-wing Indian accounts like @/HPhobiaWatch @/DesiKing_ @/TheSquind etc spew racist filth on X, and because of them, all Indians end up facing racist abuse from foreign handles...

It’s strange that the govt roars at critics at home, but becomes silent when it comes to Big Tech. Why is there no action when hate against Indians is allowed to thrive unchecked on X? Why is “national interest” invoked only against citizens, never against platforms owned by global billionaires?
The government never hesitates to flex its power against journalists, activists, or dissenters. But when X becomes a daily dumping ground of anti-India hate and coordinated propaganda, suddenly the government has nothing to say. No notices, no accountability, no pressure...
Is the govt unwilling or simply uninterested in confronting Big Tech when it truly matters? Because right now, your silence looks like an approval!!

Found a few pigeons beside a distant masjid's minaret. Had a camera with me then, so took some pebbles, climbed on top of a wall and threw the pebbles one by one in their direction. One fell close by and they all flew. Managed to click one.
