Presenting #TeamIndia's newest T20I captain 🇮🇳
Congratulations to Shreyas Iyer as he takes the helm in the shortest format of the game 👏

The Norwegian journalist left in protest during Indian diplomat’s cheap antics aka drunk presser. This is Indian diplomacy at its peak according to Godi autocorrect Gobbar Media
Here is the video.
Indian guys are just beating arround the bush and not answering to the question which Helle Lyng asked. .

‼️🚨 BREAKING: A new npm supply-chain attack uses a dead-man's switch. The payload plants a watcher on your machine that nukes your home directory the second you revoke the GitHub token it stole from you.
The compromise happened today, across 42 official tanstack npm packages, 84 malicious versions in total. tanstack/react-router alone pulls more than 12 million weekly downloads.
The attacker forked TanStack's repository and pushed a single hidden commit. From there, they tricked TanStack's own release system into signing the malicious packages as if they were the real thing. To npm, and to anyone checking the cryptographic proof of origin (SLSA provenance), the poisoned versions looked 100% legitimate.
Maintainer Tanner Linsley confirmed the whole team had 2FA enabled. It didn't matter. This is the first documented npm worm in history that ships with a valid, signed certificate of authenticity, the same one defenders rely on to know a package wasn't tampered with.
PM is coming to BLR tomorrow, and roads are already blocked throughout the city. Traffic is insane.
If you're a VIP, behave like one and land at the venue via a chopper. If you want to behave like a common man, commute like one.
Inconveniencing others is utterly stupid.
The heat has been brutal this past week. Temperatures hit 45° in Nagpur, 44° in Ahmedabad, 43° in Prayagraj, 42° in Delhi. Even Bengaluru hit 37°. And we're still in April 😬
A big contributing factor behind rising temperatures is the loss of forest cover, and India has lost a lot of it. Back in 2020, we met the team behind Farmers for Forests (F4F). Their idea was to do agroforestry at scale. The challenge is that farmers can't afford to wait years for trees to pay off, and most tree-planting projects don't survive the first monsoon. The idea was ambitious, and we at @RainmatterOrg backed them early.
Most tree-planting in India is monoculture, just rows of one species. But a plantation isn't a forest. F4F plants multi-layer agroforests with fruit, timber, shrubs, intercrops, and native species, trying to mimic what an actual forest does.
Six years later, they've gone from 50 acres to 5,000 acres and have just secured funding to reach 40,000 over the next three years. Compared to traditional crop farming, per acre, they're seeing ~4x carbon sequestration, ~3x farmer income, and meaningful improvement in biodiversity and soil health. Still early days, but promising.
Those numbers needed to be verifiable. So F4F built TreeLens, an open-source tree-tracking system that uses drone imagery to measure carbon sequestration, tree height, and biodiversity across thousands of small farms. 15 other organisations now use it.
The hardest problem in agroforestry is time. Fruit trees take 5 to 7 years to pay off, and most small farmers simply can't wait that long. So F4F is now working with the government and the larger ecosystem to design financial instruments like carbon bonds and first-loss guarantees that protect farmers while the trees grow.
Really glad we backed Arti, Aditya, and Krutika early.
Terrible experience at @atherenergy Mangalore. Forced to visit 5x just for delivery. To make it worse, the GM (Kavitha) told me to "ignore" my inconvenience and asked me to change my 1-star review. 2 months, no HSPR plate still. Unacceptable customer service 🛵 #Ather
@smtgpt Picking a domain and naming the org ending with dcx and not a word. 3 individual alphabets. Shows the decision making ability of the leadership. These letters are prone to phishing and spam attacks.
@JayPrashanth@volklub Agree with SunderDeep. Lack of common sense and poor driving license test mandates leads to fatal motorcycle accidents in India. Adding to that, now the weather is really harsh, sun is too loud, AQI is bad. Car is preffered. Tier 1 city, two wheelers somewhat makes sense.
