Noticed a trend on social media, posting pictures of the women army officers isn't the gotcha moment some of you all think it is. This is not feminist praxis, it's war mongering - plain and simple

I think white people are missing an important cultural aspect of why Desi tech bros are full of Hitler particles. Almost all Indian immigrants in the US are upper castes with enough capital and social mobility to move there. They'll do anything for white validation while looking down on them.

The world has somewhat woken up to the plight of cashew workers in India. Thanks to the veganism movement, alt milk supply has picked up and of course - a cheap ass country like India would pay 45-60 bucks a kilo (that’s like less than a dollar). Plus they have to suffer severe cashew burns.

5 days in Bangalore, it's been a good start - attended an art festival, went to Museum of Art and Photography (MAP), visited Cubbon Park, also has the local favorite Meghana's Biryani.

Wazwaan thali at Matamaal #pune, the Kashmiri restaurant, is delicious. Three of us shared this. @kushal.bsky.social @romaticize.bsky.social Mutton cooked to perfection. Flavourful gravies. Tabak maaz was a little disappointing, but seekh kebabs were ❤ I love Kashmiri food. All food, tbh.

I have always looked up to @asuph.bsky.social for his wisdom and his life outtakes. One of the things I will miss the most in pune, is spending time with him and @romaticize.bsky.social over a cup of coffee (or sometimes even gin) Goodbyes are tough, I will miss them dearly!

It is no secret that government jobs are bought by upper class folks, but with Deepinder openly flaunting it for the first time in public, this will also start off in startups and mid tier companies.

BJP actively using AI for voice generation, sets a precedent for the first time that a political party has openly abused the technology for spreading fake propaganda.

Gladiator 2 - overall a 3.5/5 watch, the plot feels compressed and also pacy towards the end. They have tried following a very similar template to the first movie. I don't know why they have tried to give Paul a lot of unnecessary punchlines.

Holi as a festival is rooted in celebrating burning Holika, a bahujan woman. It's a brahminical and patriarchal practice. Not to forget, a lot of women face sexual harassment in name of "playing" holi by men.

I have little to no sympathy for Kejriwal, but the power Modi Govt has showcased in arresting a sitting CM shows how far they can go to dismantle the opposition, and bent the laws as per their will.

Gig workers who work for Zomato are once again in a precarious situation. In the last few years, many incidents where Muslim and Dalit delivery drivers were beaten by a Hindu mobs have been reported. With this new scheme, it will lead to more caste-based violence.

Zomato's Pure Veg Fleet affirms the caste-based segregation work by pandering to Brahmin-Baniya-Jain's purity politics. Once again, we see capitalism and caste going hand in hand.

1. I was tear-gassed at school when I was 6 years old(the whole school).
2. My first classmate was killed when I was 8.
3. My neighbor was assassinated when I was 9. (I cried that day.)
4. Around 20 soldiers stormed our neighborhood and wanted to arrest me and my little brother for interrogation (I was 7 and my brother was 4).
5. They stormed our home more than 8 times (I can recount them to you as if they happened this morning).
6. They arrested my father and made me put my hands on a wall when I was 7. (It was at the Shejaia entrance, and I still remember my white sneakers.)
7. They shot at us while we were playing on December 22, 1992 (I was turning 8. I remember because it was my birthday).
8. They arrested my oldest brother when I was 5 years old.
9. I was forced to shower in cold water or very hot water because Israelis used a mechanical stone-thrower that broke all windows and solar panels (which we used to warm water) - that's why I hated showering for some time.

Bluesky is currently trending in the top 5 in the shitter place. Why? Elon wasn't joking about charging for use. Who believes this is actually about stopping bots? Am more inclined to believe Musk wants to collect our credit/debit card info. Bluesky is about to experience another growth spurt.
