NEW: MAGA voters say they're going to the polls to fight “communism”—but when asked what communism actually means, things get awkward FAST. In The Daily Show's upcoming special “Red Flags,” Jordan Klepper puts Republican voters on the spot with one simple question. Their answers are something else. These two minutes are worth watching. See for yourself!

After praising Modi, in less than a month, Vucic lost the election tonight to a student movement in Serbia.

If vacuousness is kept sealed in an empty drum for 15 years, the result will look like this.
#WATCH | Delhi: Former CJI DY Chandrachud says, "In any society—especially in a democracy—institutions are essential. Whether they are public or private, institutions are necessary for us to progress and for the nation to move forward. We must strengthen our existing institutions and make them more robust. In the healthcare sector, in particular, there is a critical need to focus on patient care and welfare. Public hospitals, for instance, serve the poor and the needy—many of whom travel from great distances to seek care. Therefore, it is imperative that we further strengthen and fortify our public hospitals and public health infrastructure..."

What ISRO chief does to rockets, Sudhir does to Modi: lifting to sky. And Modi with all his failures is much heavy to lift. Its rocket science Mr @hvgoenka
If Prasar Bharati can spend ₹15 crore a year on a DD News show featuring a star anchor, while the ISRO Chairman’s basic pay is about ₹27 lakh a year, shouldn’t we rethink our priorities? If India wants to conquer space and attract our finest scientific minds, our rewards must match our ambitions.

This would be very sad. As a global technology reporter, @restofworld was a frequent source of "damn, why didn't I think of that" stories. I hope they find a way to keep their excellent work going.

Read somewhere that the animating spirit of the Nazis was not the strutting self-confidence, which came later, but dread-- that unless Germans take extreme steps they would be destroyed. Sanghis are a lot like that, afraid of everything incl the existential threat posed by essays

This is pretty much how most middle class Indians treat their domestic help. What goes around comes around.
My cousin recently joined a company, and the rules there are absolutely crazy. He can't take a single paid leave for the first 6 months. If anyone isn't dressed formally, isn't properly groomed, or is even 10 minutes late, they deduct ₹1000 from their salary. And here's the best part. They have to take at least one proper 15-minute client call after 7 PM, or it'll be considered a half-day. Basically, a way to force employees to stay longer. And this is a pretty well-known, listed company. Seems like they're making money by exploiting both their employees and their clients, who apparently aren't satisfied either. It's honestly not hard to see why some Indian companies struggle to grow into big businesses. With this kind of cheap mindset, they care more about controlling employees than building a good company.

“Apparently, the solution to every crisis in 2026 is to hold a press conference about 1947. Our current Prime Minister has developed an extraordinary relationship with time. For every present failure, he takes you backwards. For every unfulfilled promise, he sends you to 2047. Fast fast forward.  The only place he appears reluctant to stay is the present. And that, dear friends, is where you actually live.” sanjayjhabombay.substack.com…

Bhakts keep calling me all sorts of names here: 'urban naxal' 'dirty/ugly leftist scum' 'Commie Bong whore'. So I thought I would lean into all this name calling and share a wonderful visual someone shared on Insta about all the things we have because of protests. Protests are indeed the lifeblood of a diminishing democracy.

Language isn't India's problem. It is crony capitalism, an out-of-control welfare state, a trashed education system, and religious bigotry in the central govt that is an insuperable obstacle to modernity.
How does the Indian government function with this much ethnic, religion, and linguistic diversity?

Question is, who wrote the script for the AI Gen / Hologram of Swami Chinmayananda to say.
He died in 1993. So technically, Modiji wasn’t interacting with the Swami
