My "Roman Empire is the realization that my life is a lottery win. Somewhere in Sudan, Pålestine, iran, Afghanistan, Iraq or Congo, there is a boy smarter than me. He is more disciplined, more resilient, and holds more potential in his single finger than I do in my entire career.
The only difference? I am siting in a train and he is sting in the rubble of his dreams.
My "bad days" are his wildest dreams.
My "burnout" is a luxury he can't afford because his only job is staying alive.
It's geographical luck and it's a haunting injustice that we all refuse to acknowledge and look away
The lopsided balance of power between capital and labour: the workers have no ability to refuse to wear the cameras which are training systems which will eventually replace the workers themselves
that’s not what she’s implying at all. she’s saying we need to assign “economic value” to natural resources like clean air, water and soil and include them on corporate and financial balance sheets. the goal is to stop businesses and economies from treating these essentials as completely free, unlimited and invisible. so that the real costs of depleting or polluting them become visible and influence decisions, rather than being ignored until systems collapse.
“Water, soil, and oxygen should not be infinitely accessible. They are assets that should be included in global economic balance sheets.”
This is not satire. The World Economic Forum wants to monetise breathing.
Approximately 40% of children in the U.S. are born to unmarried mothers, with rates peaking around 40.7% in 2012. While this average exists, rates vary significantly by state—reaching over 55% in Louisiana and Mississippi—and by demographic group, with higher percentages observed among non-Hispanic black and American Indian populations.
Audacity to call others "Bastards" 😂
A final-year law student, Rishi Kumar from Tamil Nadu National Law University, refuses to delete his blog criticising the Supreme Court… despite pressure from his own university.
Why?
Because the administration allegedly received calls from advocates, judges, and others claiming the post harms the institution’s “reputation.”
The blog titled “The Supreme Court of India Has No Spine” questioned the court’s decision to ban an NCERT textbook chapter on judicial corruption.
But here’s the real issue:
A law student is being told to silence himself… for expressing a legal opinion.
His response?
Clear and powerful:
“My opinions are mine… you do not own my voice or my conscience.”
He even said he’s ready to face disciplinary action rather than back down.
This isn’t just about one blog.
This is about academic freedom vs institutional pressure.
If law students… the future of the judiciary are discouraged from questioning the system,
then who exactly is allowed to question it?
Criticism of institutions ≠ disrespect.
Silencing criticism = weakening democracy.
indeed, except this is evident to anyone who truly lives and travels in india. but we are a nation now designed to ignore reality as we strengthen our prejudices and bigotry.
India’s hard earned - hard fought- GDP growth is being frittered away year after year under a leadership that is incompetent and intolerant.
On every counter!
The window of opportunity is closing fast on the world’s most populous and most fascinating country.
Harsh, but true.
All major Indian macroeconomic indicators move in the same way, booming in the mid‐2000s & slowing subsequently. But this qualitative change in the economy’s behavior is not reflected in the GDP data, which shows the economy continuing to boom.

The one serious problem of LPG shortage will be, if once the prices of restaurant food goes up, it never comes down, even if the supply becomes normal.
