This is how they must develop double-decker electric buses double-decker tramways in BKC & South Mumbai, then levy a ₹300/hr congestion tax on private cars. Every square metre planned for cars is a square metre taken away from moving million more people

Thierry Henry on Cristiano Ronaldo’s performance against Congo 🗣️
“Because he wants to score he goes in the path of Bruno Fernandes. It would’ve been a tap in. He's playing as a 9, but he's never been a 9 and he's not acting as a 9. Not giving Portugal those traits and it hurt them.”
Does the Frenchman have a point? 🤔

Let’s say if you ask Antilla folks to move to Bundelkhand lock stock barrel. Let’s say you ask all stock market traders from dalaal street to borivali to move to samastipur bihar and operate from there (they are not even moving to dholera city). Let’s say if you ask senior lawyers in sunder nagar and power brokers of Lutyens to move to churu in Rajasthan and work from there.
Well that’s precisely the plan of Indian state with the CORALS of NICOBAR. It wants to gouge these extremely sensitive life form from shallow ocean waters from their colonies that are millennia old and place them elsewhere. If in this “elsewhere”, nature has not allowed corals to exist, why will they just coz. Nicorbar project executioners are wanting to convert this pristine bio-diversity hotspot in a Pattaya kind of resort.
Coral relocation has had practically no success at all, world-over and yet babu led “expert team ” are pretending to play gods.

Mumbai always took pride in the fact that the city faces ZERO power cuts. We’re a privileged lot.
But not anymore. This summer, so many localities in Mumbai have been facing long power cuts. People cannot sleep at night. The worst affected are slum-dwellers—no water & power cuts

Some say it was the ponderous tome Jon Arryn was given first and then Ned Stark, the ponderous tome that started many battles and wars.

Erling Haaland spent $134,000 on a book he'll never read.
Then gave it away.
Last December, he and his father quietly bought the 1594 edition of Snorri Sturluson's Kings' Sagas at auction — the most expensive book ever sold in Norwegian history.
Only one copy exists on earth.
They donated it to the public library in Bryne.
The town where Haaland grew up.
One condition: it stays open. Anyone can walk in and read it.
What actually is this book?
Written in 1230, it chronicles Norwegian kings from the age of gods through medieval history — warriors, farmers, kings from the exact coastal region Haaland calls home.
The 1594 edition was the first time it was ever printed in Norwegian.
Before that it lived in manuscripts, locked away from ordinary people for 350 years.
He bought the moment his people's history became something they could hold — and handed it to the next generation.
"I want the book always to lie open so people can read about those who came from where I come from."
He scored twice for Norway today in his first ever World Cup match.
The kings in that book would've approved.

Getting paid half a million per week doesn't mean you're a good footballer, even if it means you're a good brand.
A quiet night for Cristiano Ronaldo. 🇵🇹
👟 Just 25 touches all game
📦 Only 5 touches in the opposition box.
🎯 3 shots.
❌ 0 shots on target.
Not the start he would've wanted to his 2026 World Cup campaign. 😬

Power outages, I see. Who supplies power, remind me?
#InPhotos: Residents from slum settlements near the Versova coastline spend the night on Versova Beach in Mumbai to escape intense heat and frequent power outages, returning home the next morning.

Trump on Egyptian President el-Sisi:
"He was in a hotel and I met him. We fell in love, deeply in love ... we didn't know each other before that. We had great chemistry, and I stayed twice as long as I was supposed to."

Don't wash you car. That water is needed to grow sugarcane which is used to make ethanol with which you fill up your car's fuel tank.

Over 300,000 people die of drowning each year. In order to protect society, it is now illegal to consume or possess water.
Your government is also considering banning solid food, as it presents a needless choking hazard.
You are not an adult.
You are a baby.
Eat the baby food.

I've never seen football broadcast worse than what's on @ZEE5India . Even the highlights have two separate as breaks that you can't skip. In spite of having paid whatever subscription charge they asked for. Indian entertainment platforms should stick to saas bahu & K series.

What's remarkable is that graphene was first isolated using ordinary sticky tape. In 2004, researchers repeatedly peeled layers from a piece of graphite, eventually producing sheets just one atom thick. The discovery was so unexpected that it earned the Nobel Prize in Physics just six years later.

Graphene is just one atom thick but 200 times stronger than steel, lighter than paper, and conducts electricity better than copper. It can bend without breaking, carry huge electric currents, and even help detect cancer in real time. From quantum tech to flexible gadgets and super-fast charging, it’s the wonder material scientists are still unlocking.

This is inarguably true. Email has made communication worse and decision-making inordinately slower and more bureaucratic. Yet nobody ever talks about it.
