My eyes watered many times, my breath became heavy as I wrote this. I don’t think my body has ever struggled this much as I wrote something. 2020, 1984, 1947. I “remember” too much www.thequint.com/opinion/paha...

When 2 Hindu men bomb a mosque in India, stenography starts masquerading as journalism. I write: thewire.in/communalism/...

Rhea Chakraborty should be sent to prison. Her innocence is irrelevant. I know this will upset my liberal friends but it is what it is. I write for The Quint. Link is paywalled.

I want to be a patriot. I am telling myself that being an Indian patriot requires me to look away from, if not celebrate the injustice and pain 15-year-old children suffer, especially if they happen to be Muslim. I write. thewire.in/rights/malva...

Indian democracy latest

I hope that’s the motive. What I fear is worse-that the author sincerely believe in his views, and that the Editor genuinely thinks that the piece is worthy of publishing.

Dating someone? Register with the government. The latest shot in the war against women, India edition has been fired. Witness the largest community surveillance program in the history of humanity. m.thewire.in/article/righ...

Op-Ed in India’s leading daily newspaper. Says China's AI integrates Confucian values and American AI has "materialist frameworks" and imagines a utopia where AI is trained on Vedas. To call this mediocrity would be high praise.

Going for a walk in the park and inviting strangers home. People who *don’t* look like you.

Reading this these days and deeply enchanted by it. #booksky

Musk’s propaganda can be exposed with the help of a single fact. He claims to be fighting for freedom and truth. Across history, not one person fighting for freedom and truth has demanded that you blindly worship and submit to the person in power.

America’s history is full of wrongful pardons. Slaveowners, mass murderers. Nothing new here.

Haha

“I just sit and pray" His business was looted & house burnt during #DelhiRiots, but Hashim Ali, 58, went on trial for rioting. He spent 75 days in prison. In 2024, he was acquitted because there was no evidence. Adnan Ali, Aqib Nazir and Huda Ayisha report article-14.com/post/delhi-r...

India, today.

Slavery continues in India.

And the moneyed reject us because they know they create us, that we are a consequence of their impulse to accumulate more than they need, rooted in a fear of life and the death that comes with it. www.esquire.com/news-politic...

Imagine being told that your baby risks death unless you can buy a injection which costs 3 Million USD. Every year. Hujefa's parents face this ordeal. While they don't expect to raise the entire sum, they need INR 10 lakh for the treatment at AllMS. HELP: t.co/iRGd1XLSn7

Bluesky has rebuilt the Twitter of 2011. Keep going. Time to rebuild Blogspot and Google Reader. Web 1.0 fundamentalists unite!

Me talking about Bluesky: The "echo chamber" criticism is undergirded by two common internet fallacies, that X reflects genuine mainstream discourse and that social media is only useful when users are confronted at all times with social and political conflict Normal person: Hey man how's it going

Outstanding. Original. Peerless. Powerful. I can not believe my good fortune that I got to watch this, and watch it on the big screen. My god. Thank you Payal Kapadiaq

No wonder

No wonder Modi’s fans were so invested in Trump coming back.
