First they hyped it and tried to sell it. Nobody bought it. Then they made it free and put it everywhere. And then they are charging a premium for it in the name of integration. Sounds so much like a scam

So I assume this news is now buried and everyone's going to forget COVID ever happened? 2 million excess deaths in 2021. According to GoI data. And yet, no one seems to blink. youtu.be/OxG9IrDOp2I?...

I swear to freaking god there was a time when a lawyer who was found to have forged information to use in a court would face a punishment stronger than having to deliver an apology Why the hell aren't the people who create harmful lies using automated tools facing WORSE consequences?

Great to read this as a salient reminder from my former colleague, Izzy. Yes, believe it or not I used to work for a charity that campaigns for LTNs and there happens to be one going in in the ward I'm a councillor for - a scandalous conflict of interest! www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Across all the days of chaos and confusion (people are calling it fog of war, but that doesn't apply here), I have a feeling the bureaucratic executive and military branches of GoI have somehow managed to take charge of the situation; and probably pushed aside the political class from..

This feels like we are just lab rats on whom weapons are tested. Non-consensually, the Middle East and Africa used to be a ground for this, but now, consensually, India and Pakistan chose their countries as the new ground for the same. @vijayprashad.bsky.social

One of the depressing things about the last few days is rediscovering the uncritical nationalism and militarism of South Asian progressives. A pity that our ancestors could not achieve another form of emancipation from colonial rule, and we are so wedded to our postcolonial national hells.

Letting unis go bust will be popular with voters right up until the economic and societal affects hit them square in the face. This is exactly why outsourcing politics to focus groups and those who cannot adjust from campaigning to governing is disastrous.

If you aren't already, start regular exercising as soon as possible. I don't mean "go to gym for six pack", but to maintain good cardio health and to keep muscle mass at healthy levels. You don't want to be 40 and not be able to climb a single flight of stairs without panting.

India saw almost two million more deaths in 2021 (the deadliest year of the pandemic) than in the preceding few years. data per CRS, SRS and MCCD 2021 which were released yesterday. This is 1st govt data which shows official death toll was a gross underestimate!

It's a lot better than the position last week and better than the deal that was trailed. It's still substantially worse than pre-'Liberation day'. Compared to that baseline the UK has given ground, the US has taken it.

Labour needs to call out every action like this and link it to Farage’s past statements on Ukraine & Putin. There’s mass support in UK for Ukraine - fringe conspiracy views that NF espouses need calling out.
