@protosphinx Dehradun is a hill city, it literally does not have the space for an expansion. Unloading Delhi's burden is gonna cause an environmental catastrophe in the region. There is UP before you reach UK, develop that into a world class infra and Delhi's population expansion'll halt.

Sure you can move a lot of people to Dehradun but does Dehradun have enough infra capacity to absorb that influx ? Hotels..restaurants…housing…that will create its own need for jobs… And now you understand why Chinese cities like Chongqing have massive infra

@melissa My own theory about the whole thing is this: Magnus' prep leaked. Somehow Hans found out what Carlsen was gonna play and played a flawless counter to a rare opening. Explains why he was so fidgety during the game. Plus Magnus made mistakes. Can't prove this one either tho.

the netflix chess cheating documentary is so bad. how is it possible? the story is so good. a kid goes from 2450 to 2700. he beats magnus carlsen. magnus carlsen drops out. the media ruins the kid. and somehow there appears to be no evidence of the kid cheating in any live games?

@reezyeztilt There's nothing funny as per say in that. Just FIDE being a forward looking org, hip with the next gen as it has always been. Svidler and Jan just happen to be in the eye of its revolution. Btw jan gave carlsen a black eye in '18 championship.

@95Shubhi older man say funny young people words, young person cringes fondly at their fave commentators

GM Jan Gustafsson’s Gen Z appeal monologue that physically hurts to post

@reezyeztilt Why would this hurt? Perfectly logical to me. FIDE is upping their game and Jan is serving. I, like Peter, have also gotten slow.

@95Shubhi who said there was a problem 💀

@PranavDixit What currency note do you offer? Suppose the bill is 140?

@PranavDixit When in Rome....

@DeveshsK_ @chesscom I did 😭 After office. Well only Magnus' stream but still. I liked what they did with it. Chess world is on fire again😭

@chesscom I don't think anyone cares. Who even watches Titled Tuesday man.

Apologies to all, there will be no official broadcast of Titled Tuesday this week. The event itself will continue as normal for players, and will be featured on our /events page. Titled Tuesday will continue as the weekly way the best players in the world square off against each other; Stay tuned for upcoming announcements regarding the future of your favorite weekly event!

@x3firearms @RealKidPoker In chess you don't interact with your opponent, in case it throws them off or u psychologically. If needed it is always done through arbiters. Just a ethics thing chess follows. Selfies are highly unusual in itself but Carlsen obliges because it's sweet they want a pic.

@RealKidPoker Classy would have been after taking the picture, to lean over and say,’ just a heads up, you might want to get this out of here before the match starts, you can’t even have it in here , you could get dq’d’ heading to the arbiter immediately is not classy.

I actually found this to be a classy way to handle it. He took the picture, then, rules are rules, no phones means no phones.

@GMAlexColovic *ever. 😭

We can confidently say that Nakamura won't win the Candidates this year.

@PHChess Correlation isn't causation

It seems clear that Sindarov and Caruanas choice to prioritize Freestyle events is paying off big time. Both played the finals in South Africa and the recent WC in Weissenhaus. They just seems much sharper in crucial OTB decesions than their opponents at the Candidates.

@Schandillia Ram to Rama, Ramayan to Ramayana, Ravan yo Ravana - it's all part of white man gaze

You could cast Arun Govil himself and it’d still turn out shit. Because the problem with this film is its doormat syndrome, not casting. I mean casting is bad but an insignificant blip next to this cringe urge to please the White Man’s gaze. Valmiki imagined Rama as Rama, not Odin. Ravana as Ravana, not a jungle orc. This trend to “chadify” Hindu deities will keep ruining every 21st century work on the subject, whatever the cast, whatever the scale. And AI…well, the less said the better. Congrats to whoever got to launder 4,000 crore. Kudos. 👏🏽

@sama @jaltma He'll take it.

@jaltma We can offer you a free chatgpt pro account, two openai tshirts of your choice, and you have to have max and me on the show together to discuss what went wrong in your weighlifting career.

Sam did the offer to buy Uncapped get lost in the mail?

@LUXURYLAW So white - then a hint of black - then total black - then blackish-blue - then blue. Is that how the movies goes too?

No, that wasn't the blue dress.

@DavidHowellGM Are you....are you..getting married David?

For those of you wondering why I haven't been commentating on the Candidates, it's because I've chosen a new career path. I've hung up my chessboard. Time to focus on flowers and boxing 🥊🥋

@TheCinesthetic If you put direct shampoo on my hair ends and rub them while hair's wet, I'll come at you with a knife.

That hair-washing scene in Out of Africa (1985), Robert Redford with Meryl Streep, the way he recites Coleridge while tending to her, the intimacy just lands.

"When I get home, I'll sort it out!" Me arriving home:

@elonmusk @pmarca *for the rich

@pmarca Working will be optional in the future

AI employment doomerism is rooted in the socialist fallacy of lump of labor. It is wrong now for the same reason it’s always been wrong. More people really should try to learn about this. The AI will teach you about it if you ask! (Hinton is a socialist. youtube.com/shorts/R-b8RR6…)

@de3dsoul I too hate recursion

My brain can’t process this…
