This is brutal from The Hindu 😹 Completely destroyed Godi Media.

top 10% vs bottom 90% of india

Superman, but can’t do his one job.

Sometimes I feel like tweeting about Indian politics, and then think, "who cares what I tweet", and save my thoughts in drafts. lol.

we are interviewing around 15 people a day. most people are just... not good. so many cs graduates with 0 career experience, 0 side projects. i've never seen anything like it.

Is there really any solution for all the "interesting" things scattered across different social feeds & FOMO, besides just quitting it all together?

India is the only place where PR Minister flags off 3 trains for public convenience and as a result 23 trains are cancelled/delayed/rescheduled. Make it make sense.

This is a pet peeve of mine. Light and its temperature plays a significant role in how we feel. Putting cold (high color frequency) LED lights on streets is a terrible idea and I surely don’t want to live in a place where there are “blue” lights. It’s just negligence — we have the technology to make LED light emit lower frequency (warmer) light, but it requires us to become educated on the impact of this and of course care about how we feel.

@4eo Saw this news few days back, now I think it may be due to the real-estate price or funeral expenses not moksha msn.com/en-in/health/h…

We have a family slot in this cemetery. My grand father, grand mother and uncle lies in it. As per their rule, this can’t be used for next generation. So cremation or medical college donation it is then for me.

Most expensive real estate in our town. ₹5L for a 8ft marble top slot, ₹10k if in bare ground (or in balcony). Class difference even when buried 🤷🏻‍♂️ #AllSoulsDay

@theliverdoc "gas trouble for three months" — now I'm freaking out! 😱

This is the liver of an apparently perfectly healthy man. His liver function test (blood test) - perfectly fine. His only symptom was "gas trouble for three months" for which he was showing multiple local physicians, all of whom prescribed him antacids and were happy with perfect blood tests done on multiple occasions from different labs. A routine ultrasound by a Gastroenterologist showed a misshapen liver and a big nodule. He was referred to us. We diagnosed cirrhosis with large liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma), fortunately in early stages for which liver transplant is curative. He is now doing well. His risk factors? Poorly controlled diabetes, sedentary life, no physical activity and overweight. And cirrhosis and liver cancer in his father's eldest brother. Patient is a teetotaler. Please know that sugar is the new alcohol. If you have diabetes, high blood pressure, low functioning thyroid, are overweight or obese, have very poor physical activity, high lipids or heart disease, have high calorie intake specifically through processed and ultra-processed foods - then you are at risk for fatty liver and progressive fatty liver disease that can lead to cirrhosis and its dreadful complications. Be aware, visit your doctor and check your liver functions and perform a routine ultrasound if you have uncontrolled risk factors for liver disease. If you have risk factors, then the doctor will order further tests to assess "liver health" to check for the risk for/ or presence of chronic liver disease. Liver cancers can arise in cirrhosis even in the background of a normal liver test. Early stages of cirrhosis can have normal liver tests. A normal blood test of liver function is not a guarantee for a healthy liver. People who consume alcohol and check their liver functions on blood tests weekly or monthly, to reinforce everything is OK with a normal liver test maybe grossly misled.

1999. Chennai. Pakistan defeated India by 12 runs in a thrilling match. Everyone in Stadium, though heartbroken, gave them a Standing Ovation for the excellent Cricket they played. That’s how Civilised people behave. They don’t Chant religious slogans in Stadium to mock opponents

Almost as if they’re busy behind the Palestine VS Israel spitting contest on all social media

Resign and fuck off. From Rohith Vemula’s murder to this atrocity, you have enough blood on your hands to drown yourself. Your regime made this possible.

@t_d_h_nair Ban TV channels, arrest investigators, suspend internet and communications— guy says “yOu dOnT knOw gRownd ReaLity” 🤡

There are hundreds of such cases happening here. Only one video leaked. That is why the internet is banned in the state - Manipur CM N Biren Singh. twitter.com/humbleindiancz…

Hindu nationalists in Maharashtra, who have taken it upon themselves to police social media for anything, are reporting minorities for allegedly offending their religion. wired.trib.al/6gy9grj

@maccaw I don’t know how useful I can be, but anyway, error message was “Something went wrong” 🫠

Please never tell any company "there was a bug" or "it didn't work". Please be explicit. What exactly went wrong? What error message did you see? Otherwise it just wastes everyone's time.
