⭕️ Rep. Ilhan Omar calls out Jerry Seinfeld’s “disgusting, disturbing, and downright dangerous" remarks:
Comedian Jerry Seinfeld, as he left Game 4 of the NBA Finals on Wednesday, declined to say “Free Palestine,” telling a streamer instead that Palestine “doesn’t exist.”
Rep. Omar pointed out what she viewed as a painful irony, saying that as a Jewish man whose people suffered through the Holocaust, Seinfeld should recognize the dangers of genocidal rhetoric aimed at wiping out or denying the existence of a whole group.
She described him as a "horrific human being" for dismissing the reality of the catastrophe in Gaza. “Be a human. Care about other people. And Palestinians do exist. They are real people. They are ethnic to the land in which they belong,” Omar said.
Rep. Ilhan Omar torches Jerry Seinfeld over "disturbing" Palestine remarks.

India’s fertility rate has gone below replacement. Two people aren’t producing two people to replace them.
Most metro couples are opting for just one kid. Not coz of a lifestyle choice, but sheer affordability.
Such is the school fees that having two kids is like having two home loans. The EMI for which will keep increasing. The love of the sibling is being replaced by a dog or the Internet. We are going to be old as a nation, before we get rich. Tough.

Legitimately my favourite part of the movie. Kinda blows the film's lore wide open to possibilities towards something eternal and cosmic.
Saw the Backrooms movie, absolutely loved it but my favorite bit was how it makes you think you're about to get a full exposé from the scientist that's been teased the whole film only to be horrified by how they have no better understanding of it than the people who just found it

Hard not to see, and imagine, Roger Smith as Hannibal.
Especially with the last panel
ALT Hannibal says "in Dragonball Z, Vegeta, a former antagonist becomes a doting father. Tell me Will,do you think you can be redeemed like Vegeta?" Will Graham says "Vegeta was a murderer." Hannibal replies "He was also a Prince..."

Muralitharan, Munaf Patel, and now Jimmy Anderson adding to the chorus of IPL being batting friendly; geared towards massive sizes & giving absolutely nothing to bowlers.
Glad major former players are speaking up on this

Marcia Lucas's work on TAXI DRIVER should also be discussed.
The cuts from Travis menacing stares to his POV are some of the most haunting images by themselves, and in piecing them together Lucas & co. unearth the sinister spirit of the film.

Marcia Lucas has sadly passed away at the age of 80.
She won an Oscar for editing the original STAR WARS film, where she was described as the “heart” of the film who brought the magic alive.

As an Indian, Fuck Netanyahu, Fuck Israel & Free Palestine.

Netanyahu:
I’ll say this: we face delegitimization in much of the world — but not in India.
In India, there is an absolutely crazy love for Israel, truly crazy.
I think I have more followers from India than from anywhere else.

Every Hindutva freak will turn to you, in earnest, & say "Untouchability is a western construct."
Followed by a Pandit stating on camera: "Untouchability exists to keep things pure, and was written in scripture by our forefathers."

"Just as a surgeon maintains sterile conditions, a priest maintains ritual purity" - Pandit ji busts the false untouchability propaganda run by seculars to malign Hindus.

I don’t see a thing wrong with this and he certainly didn’t lose it. He reads as someone who has been playing this game for decades and knows how things can spiral. He’s establishing boundaries, the crowd listened, and he obliged. Zero drama.
