#Sathankulamverdict is not just about two #deaths. It is a rare moment when the courts called #custodialtorture what it really is: #stateviolence disguised as #lawenforcement. @rinpoet frontline.thehindu.com/socia…

Netanyahu posted a proof-of-life video. People said it was AI because he had 6 fingers. He posted another one ordering coffee and showing 5 fingers. People said that was AI too because the coffee didn't spill. We've crossed a line we can't uncross. The same AI tools that can generate a convincing fake of anyone on Earth have made it impossible to prove anything is real. The technology that was supposed to give us more information has made all information less trustworthy. This isn't about Netanyahu. Every world leader, every CEO, every public figure now lives in a world where "that's AI" is an unfalsifiable response to any evidence. Proof of life now requires multiple videos, press witnesses, and cafe Instagram posts. People still don't believe it. We built tools so powerful that seeing is no longer believing. Nobody has figured out what replaces it.

Cash is not a four-letter word Cash stings when you spend it – and that sting saves you. Cards and UPI make money feel fake, fuelling impulse buys. Notes and coins keep you grounded, force discipline, and protect your future. Cash isn’t old-school. It’s your smartest money habit.

Happy Birthday Gulzar ❤️ Gulzar turns 91 today. What an iconic personality. Lyricist, author, poet, screen writer, director. His movies and songs have left an indelible impact on me. My top most favourite being Ijaazat. And this song remains my No 1 song of all times . Contd...

I see similarity between Trump's air strikes on Iran's three nuclear facilities which by all accounts were empty ........ and India's #OperationSindoor on nine terrorist camps & launch pads in Pakistan when Pakistan had enough warning (from April 22 to May 6 that India was preparing for revenge) to clear them. Note the following: 1. In both cases, victory was claimed without proof of damage assessment. 2. In both cases, no defined military target or nuclear capabilities were hit. 3. Trump & India announced their limited operation was over unless the other side escalated. 4. In both cases, the attacks were done to ease domestic pressure. 5. Trump & Modi said that further operations were not ruled out. India called it 'pause' 6. In both cases, there was realization that an escalation could gravely harm own national security. 7. In both cases, the opponents were not deterred. 8. In both cases, it was 'wasted overkill' which did not help initiating nation's credibility. 9. In both cases, the world was left wondering: What Next? So, enjoy the new uses of military power!

Today, the Delhi HC made it clear that Abhijit Iyer Mitra’s tweets are unacceptable. He has to take it down. His lawyer tendered apology and said will take down in 5 hours. I want to ask journalists who get him on panels, what is your excuse? A few samples

The transition to the correct infrastructure will take a decade at least. The only thing left to do now is to start doing things right. But if we neglect that thinking that's not a quick solution, we won't get the slow solution either.

How often netas have refused to react to questions saying something is 'sub-judice'! Now, finally, this..

Well said. Did India blunder in thinking this is finally a clash of narratives? Not lives? x.com/anubhabhonsle/status/1…

A tribal man from Karnataka spent 18 months in jail for murdering his wife, but she was found alive in 2025. The police forced a confession, ignored DNA reports, and declared a random skeleton as her body. @kavashivani reports thenewsminute.com/karnataka/…

#BREAKING "75 years into our republic, we cannot be seen to be so shaky on our fundamentals that mere recital of a poem or for that matter, any form of art or entertainment, such as, stand-up comedy, can be alleged to lead to animosity or hatred amongst different communities. Subscribing to such a view would stifle all legitimate expressions of view in the public domain which is so fundamental to a free society" - Supreme Court. SC made these observations while quashing a Gujarat FIR against Congress MP @ShayarImran over a poem shared on social media.

There have been thousands of generations of humans, and you are alive to witness the first photo of a Sunset on another World. This is a real photo of the sunset on Mars.

Every job no matter how shitty brings some sense of personal achievement - even if it's only in the form of money. Women are brought up to accept the lower rung of power. It comes as a massive shock to men. It's not about cooking it's about worth.

Ah, the things you stumble upon at @bookworm_Kris...
