Today’s big news is win of President Ernesto Lula over his right wing rival Bolsonaro and also technology companies like Meta. What a sensational win! Trump will go into depression.

Republic TV’s coverage of Neha Bora & Abhijeet Dipke’s press conference yesterday, its subsequent “debate,” was among its most disgraceful distortions of journalism yet, in effect ridiculing Indians beaten by police & millions of disenfranchised voters they were protesting for 1/2

🚨MASSIVE BREAKING : Newslaundry Just drop HYDROGEN BOMB on Fraud BJP🔥
(MUST Read & Share)
BJP called it ₹1 lakh crore of investment. The investors were flour mills and fertiliser shops 🤯
Here is what happened in Uttarakhand.
BJP's Dhami government held a Global Investors Summit and made a lot of noise. 1,779 MoUs. ₹3.56 lakh crore. Around ₹100 crore of public money was spent on roadshows.
Then the government said ₹1 lakh crore of this has "landed on the ground".
Newslaundry checked who these investors really are. According to its investigation:
- Atta chakkis, fertiliser and seed shops and small clinics were counted as "investors". Some did not even know.
- ₹35,279 crore, which is 35%, belongs to government power companies.
- A school running on CSR and donations was shown as a ₹24.49 crore "investor".
- A ₹1,200 crore "investor" has zero income for four years, and not one employee on record.
- Dubai and London roadshows were said to bring ₹27,975 crore, but not one company from these two cities is in the list of investors "on the ground".
- And just seven days before the summit, on 1 December 2023, the definition of "investment" itself was relaxed.
First change the rules, then show the numbers.
Now connect the dots.
This is the "double engine" model. One engine in Delhi, one in the state, and the show is the same: big headlines, small truth.
Bro, imagine your neighbour tells everyone "my son has got a ₹1 crore job". Then you find out the "company" is a tea stall, and the "salary" is the tea stall owner's own savings.
Would you call that success? Or fraud?
Now think of a young man in Uttarakhand. He believed in the "lakhs of jobs" and prepared for years. And what did he get? Papers leaked, and no jobs.
Modi ji, the "double engine" is your pride. Then answer the youth of Uttarakhand: where are the jobs from this ₹1 lakh crore?
Why was the definition of investment changed seven days before the summit? Who gains from this game of numbers?
Will you ask your CM to put out the full list of 3,300 "investors", or will you stay silent again? Are you afraid of what the list will show? 🔥🔥🔥

What an inspiring story of Navi Pillai, daughter of an Indian bus driver, who overcame all odds to become one of the world’s foremost human rights lawyers & activists. She was rightly awarded the Nobel peace prize this year. Had Modi congratulated her?

@AbeerKapoorin Indian Express “Today, AI tools have democratised the process of game-building. They’re HTML-based and easily accessible. People can play them on their phones,” says Kapoor. He sees these games as extensions of the protests, borrowing their language and music, though he wonders whether they amount to political resistance or are simply another expression of Gen Z humour.
“Games fundamentally do role-play. They give you a sense of what something feels like, the friction involved, the running around. The mechanics are deliberately familiar. Technically, these are not games at all, just as a reel is not a movie. But it is the reel of interactive unrest: quick, dirty prototyping that can lead to something,” says Kapoor. Creator of the election-based board game ‘The Poll’, he is now developing ‘What Happens to a Moment?’, a simulation in which players decide the political future of the fictionalised Cockroach Janata Party after a protest.

Jean Drèze was offered freedom after 4 hours in detention. He refused to leave w/o his fellow detainees, many poor Muslims. After 11 hours, police relented. They walked out together
Oh, and when shown the video of a journalist asking who he was, he laughed: “That was hilarious"

When simple tasks like reading a speech from a teleprompter becomes laborious…you know it’s time to retire.
Sorry to hear about the going away of a smart story teller. Just inhaled whatever Jeffery Archer wrote.
Mr Archer hoped to discuss his final novel on just 4 days time. But the Master Storyteller had a different plot 😪
Rest in peace, first among few equals
