Extraordinarily beautiful temporal coincidence.

An open democracy like India has to continuously battle against false narratives & fake news. #GDELT data below shows the sources and ‘tone’ of media coverage for China & India. The most negative news on India (& positive on China!) consistently comes from ‘Unknown’ sources.

You know how terrorists sometimes hide & fire rockets from residential neighbourhoods.

Well, that’s what the ‘professional’ Pakistan Air Force did—waged an air war while hiding behind passenger jets, knowing that unlike itself, the IAF cares about civilians.

A message for those blaming India for the current hostilities. India and Pakistan are not the same.

Let's make sure this is abundantly clear to the world🇮🇳

[Vivek Reddy P. @vvkrddy]

Listen to each word.

To Friends in the West and to the people of Pakistan,

Jai hind 🇮🇳

The IMF is a global sponsor of terrorism. Let there be no mistake about that.

Yesterday in Mumbai, an Air India and IndiGo flight experienced a loss of separation when the Air India flight was cleared to depart and the IndiGo flight cleared to land. Here’s what the ADS-B data tells us about the proximity of the aircraft. https://t.co/ynhwr1pCLw

Too soon?

@errai34 Given their recent past, it’s nice that the technical issue surfaced before boarding rather than while in the air.

I recently flew in a Boeing 737-800. I wonder how many nuts and bolts would need to go missing for it to be called a MAX.

Felt the #earthquake?

Earthquakes in the eastern U.S. are felt over a MUCH bigger area than the West Coast.

Why?

Eastern U.S. has older rocks. They were subject to extreme pressures and temperatures. They’re denser and so shaking travels much farther.

Here is a GIF I made for a favorite astro workshop. I went for the code and stayed for the memes (and code). Recommend 100%.
