Top election forecaster Larry Sabato shares new projections moving key Senate races toward Democrats and why he’s certain there will be a “blue wave” next month.
It’s definitely happening. E. Chang’s lab, Neuralink, and several retina/vision jockeys too like Roska and Sahel labs in EU. Exciting times for both reading from and writing to the human brain.
In 2014, while filming a movie, Jackie Chan discovered that a group of Mongolian locals knew every word to 'Rolling in the Deep' by heart... Even though they didn’t speak English.
This beautiful moment was never part of the script.
Rahul Gandhi has upped the ante like never before - accusing Modi, Shah, Kumar & Bhagwat of treason. With a united INDIA Bloc with him - something will have to give.
Unless the Govt manages to create a massive national diversion or division within the opposition - Gyanesh will have to go.
Today @KarlDeisseroth of @StanfordMed@Stanford won the @NobelPrize for his co-discovery & development of Optogenetics. Here he explains what that is, and how it is unlocking the secrets of brain function & helping to cure diseases.
(And he explains that in ~1min).
When a former Supreme Court judge says the right to vote is “at great peril,” it is not an opposition slogan. It is a red flag from inside the institution.
Justice Rohinton Nariman, Rajkot, 27 September:
In the Bengal SIR, he said, about 90 lakh voters were knocked off the rolls, and the Court did not stay it. Of those excluded, 22 lakh filed appeals. The rest, he said, were largely people without the means or the access to fight. Of roughly 1 lakh appeals decided, 93% went in the voter’s favour.
EC’s own affidavit puts deleted names after adjudication at 27.16 lakh, appeals against exclusion at 22.21 lakh, and about 93% of decided appeals ending in inclusion. That is not a clean-up. That is a mass deletion that the appeal process keeps reversing.
He also flagged the Indian Express report: the two Election Commissioners objected 14 times, and still did not use Section 18 to outvote the CEC. All three are appointees of this government. Then came the “patch-up.”
Nariman’s ask is simple. The Supreme Court should step in. Appointments cannot stay in the hands of the government of the day. Restore the Anoop Baranwal panel: Prime Minister, Leader of Opposition, and the Chief Justice.
You cannot have an Election Commission that functions, or malfunctions, like this.
The heart of the Constitution is the vote. It is being edited and quite often mercilessly DELETED.
