@CuriosityonX This is wild. Imagine being born on that ship, knowing you’ll never see the destination, but your distant grandkids might. It kind of makes you think about all the sacrifices people make today for futures they’ll never see.

🚨: Researchers have designed a 36-mile-long spaceship called 'Chrysalis' to ferry 2,400 humans to Alpha Centauri on a 400-year one-way trip. Nobody on board will live to see the destination. Their grandchildren won't either. It's a multi-generational bet that humanity's future is worth a journey no single person will ever finish.

@aravind India is well positioned with digital literacy and a logical bent. But this holds only if we convert it into actual prompting fluency at scale. Otherwise, we become cheap data labelers for someone else’s models.

Is it time for PMAIY - PM AI Yojana? AI job losses are inevitable. IT&ES, BPO, Banking etc may be the first to lay off thousands in the coming months and years. Good thing is India will not be the first to face this. India will have a lag in layoffs due to the low cost advantage. Yet, the layoffs will hit India one day sooner than later. But what we need to understand is the job losses and economic issues will be temporary. Within some years, AI will be actually creating jobs. This is what many are missing while they raise the AI driven job loss concern. And anyone and everyone with a brain, able to learn and adapt, will soon be employed using AI. And they will be making much more than what they could have done before. IMO, India is well poised for this upheaval with a web and online literate young population. And a civilizational advantage when it comes to logic and questioning (prompting). I'm not at all worried. But the issue is, the temporary upheaval can cause a lot of social and political issues. Especially, when it is used by some adversaries to instigate the public. This must be managed by the state somehow strategically. I think it may be time GoI starts visibly doing some meetings to address the "AI future challenge" for reassurance, and thinks about creating some "Pradhan Mantri AI re-skilling and up-skilling yojana." A yojana where many Indians from certain jobs which can be replaced by AI are able to use some govt given credits to up-skill / re-skill in AI. It may even give a fillip to the economy during a globally gloomy period.

@GabbbarSingh Do you think we’ll see more “meme parties” like this actually contesting seats in the next 2-3 years?

I think the BJP govt on Instagram is in danger.

Three trademark applications filed to register name Cockroach Janata Party

India’s “Cockroach Janta Party” started as a meme after unemployed youth were compared to “cockroaches” during a public controversy. It has now exploded across social media with millions of followers, turning satire, unemployment frustration, inflation, and Gen Z anger into one of the internet’s biggest political trends. The craziest part? It grew faster online than many real political parties. Is this real growth?

By 2032, they’re saying the average IPL team could be worth $15B Think about that. One cricket franchise could potentially be bigger than entire legacy sports in other countries. India isn’t just consuming global entertainment anymore; we’re exporting the business model. The future isn’t Hollywood vs Bollywood. It’s IPL vs everyone.

🚨 IPL teams KKR and SRH are valued higher than RCB, according to the Hurun India report. Kolkata Knight Riders : ₹19,200 - 25,500 crore Mumbai Indians : ₹18,400 - 21,700 crore Chennai Super Kings : ₹18,400 - 20,700 crore Sunrisers Hyderabad : ₹17,500 - 18,400 crore Royal Challengers Bengaluru : ₹16,700 crore Delhi Capitals : ₹16,600 - 17,700 crore Rajasthan Royals : ₹15,000 crore Gujarat Titans : ₹14,000 - 15,800 crore Lucknow Super Giants : ₹14,000 - 15,600 crore Punjab Kings : ₹12,700 - 15,400 crore

@TukTuk_Academy His timing’s been so off. Feels like he’s stuck in tuk-tuk gear 😭

25(26) in the last match 15(12) today Hitman Sharma in his peak IPL form 🥵🥵

@MorbidKnowledge Wait, clothes torn into strips but no blood or tracks? And DNA from some random guy? That’s straight-up creepy. Bipolar or not, something feels really off here. Poor family 💔

A 21-year-old Dutch medical student walked to a bathroom at dusk in an Ugandan national park. She never came back. What was found two days later has never been explained. Sophia Koetsier arrived in Uganda in August 2015 for an eight-week medical internship at a hospital in Kampala. After completing it, she and two Dutch friends hired a tour guide named Michael Kijjambu for a 17-day safari before flying home. Before she even reached Murchison Falls, things had already started to unravel. Sophia had previously been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, and her behaviour became increasingly manic as the trip progressed. At Kidepo Valley National Park, other tourists and park officials warned Kijjambu to stop the trip and take her to a hospital. He ignored them and continued to Murchison Falls. On October 28, 2015, the group arrived at a student centre near the Nile. At sunset, Sophia picked up a plastic bottle she used for rubbish and told her companions she was walking to the latrines nearby. A ranger later said he saw her near them, gazing toward the river. That was the last confirmed sighting of her. Two days later, rangers found her clothes torn into strips and scattered near the Nile. Her underwear was hanging five metres up in a tree. Her purse and shoes were arranged neatly on the ground below. There was no blood anywhere. No drag marks. No animal tracks. When her underwear was later examined for DNA in the Netherlands, Sophia's DNA was found as expected. So was an unknown male DNA profile. Ugandan authorities declared she had likely drowned or been taken by a wild animal. Sophia's mother Marije has never accepted this. She has travelled to Uganda 28 times, recovered evidence missed by police, and located witnesses who were never questioned. In court in 2025 she testified: "I feel amputated without Sophia. We have not celebrated her birthday for nine years." A case against Kijjambu for operating as an unlicensed tour operator is still ongoing in a Kampala court as of 2025. Sophia has never been found. Nobody has been charged with anything relating to her disappearance.

An Indian school teacher, Mahesh Karmali, a Class 6 dropout from Jharkhand, built a low-cost tractor from an old Bajaj Chetak scooter after his family could no longer afford traditional farming equipment. Using scrap parts and years of mechanic experience, he created a machine called “Power Tiller” that can plough farmland using just 2.5 liters of petrol. No engineering degree. No funding. Just necessity, skill, and determination. 🇮🇳

@theskindoctor13 while everyone focuses on the statue drama, they’re also swapping Biswa Bangla logos for the Ashoka emblem at the stadium.

The movement worked! Bengal govt is actually removing this sculpture outside Salt Lake Stadium in Kolkata. State Sports Minister Nisith Pramanik literally called it “ugly,” “grotesque,” and aesthetically terrible while announcing its removal. It was designed by Mamata Banerjee.

Shailendra Singh Gaur, an alumnus of Allahabad University, spent nearly 18 years developing a six-stroke engine in Prayagraj, India. To fund the project, he reportedly sold his land, shop, and even his house, turning a rented room into a workshop while continuing years of research and experimentation. Drawing from technical experience gained at institutions like Motilal Nehru National Institute of Technology and IIT (BHU), Gaur built a prototype that he claims can deliver an extraordinary 176–200 km per liter on a modified 100cc motorcycle. Unlike conventional four-stroke engines, his six-stroke design is intended to extract more usable energy from the same fuel, improving efficiency while reducing waste and emissions. In one demonstration, the bike reportedly ran for 35 minutes using just 50 ml of petrol. Gaur says the engine: • Achieves up to 70% thermal efficiency • Can run on multiple fuels • Produces near-zero pollution • Could potentially reduce fuel costs dramatically if scaled successfully He has already secured two patents, with additional applications pending. While the claims still require independent testing and large-scale validation, the story is already inspiring many across India as an example of persistence, sacrifice, and grassroots innovation in engineering.

@MorbidKnowledge This is sad. A scared 5-year-old doing everything right and still getting failed like that… My heart breaks for little Robert. Hope he’s doing okay these days.

A 5-year-old boy called 911 to say his mother had collapsed. The operator told him to stop playing on the phone and hung up. He sat alone with her for 3 hours. By the time anyone came, she was already d*ad. Robert Turner was five years old when his mother collapsed in their Detroit home on February 20, 2006. He dialled 911 and told the operator his mom had passed out. The operator, Sharon Nichols, asked him where his father was. When Robert couldn't explain, she decided it was a prank and ended the call. No police or ambulance were sent. Robert spent the next three hours watching his mother deteriorate. At 9:02 p.m. he called again. The second operator threatened to send police to the house to punish him for playing on the phone and demanded his mother come to the phone. His mother could not come to the phone. She was dying. Police eventually arrived to find Sherrill Turner, 46, already d*ad. Her cause of d*ath was complications from an enlarged heart. A doctor later testified she would likely have survived if help had been sent on the first call. The case became the first in US history in which a 911 operator was criminally convicted for mishandling a call. Sharon Nichols was found guilty of wilful neglect of duty. The prosecutor noted the absurdity of her defence at trial: "Her defence was that she could not hear the child.” If that were true, how could she tell it was a prank call? Robert Turner was six years old when he attended the press conference about his mother's passing. He was wearing a suit.

@MorbidKnowledge He paid 11k to get mummified and have glue in his eyes? Then the plastic bag finished him. This is insane. How did it even get to that point without tapping out?

A man paid $11,000 to be wrapped like a mummy, have boots glued to his feet, and have adhesive poured into his eyes. He did not survive the evening. On April 17, 2023, Michael Dale, 56, paid Michaela Rylaarsdam, a 32-year-old mother of three, more than $11,000 for a session at his home in Escondido, California. When she arrived, Dale appeared intoxicated. Despite this, they spent the next several hours engaged in fet*sh activities at his request. Dale had requested a number of extreme acts, including being wrapped in Saran wrap and having boots glued to his feet. But prosecutors said the scene went far beyond what he had agreed to, with Dale found unresponsive with a plastic bag and duct tape over his face. A roommate later told the court he had overheard Dale pleading for her to stop. Rylaarsdam sat next to Dale and filmed herself as he struggled. She eventually called 911 and attempted CPR when he became unresponsive. Dale was declared brain de*d the following day and taken off life support, with doctors ruling his cause of de*th as suffocation. She was initially charged with second-degree m*rder but pleaded guilty on May 6 to involuntary mansl*ughter and is expected to be sentenced to four years in prison on June 8. The session had no safe word.

@aravind Kolkata’s Chinese community used to be a vibrant pocket…mostly Hakka, running tanneries, restaurants, and dental tech. Post-war policies scattered them. Now their food lives rent-free in every Indian stomach

That's sad that many of these Indian Chinese had to leave India for Canada and other western countries due to the policies and persecution of PM Nehru's Govt. Most of them are Hakka. The Hakka Chinese are the most entrepreneurial and hardworking people. They long faced persecution by other Han and Manchu Chinese and emigrated around the world, including India. And did great things wherever they went. For example, Lee Kuan Yew of Singapore who built the city-state from ground up into a modern developed country was a Hakka. Thailand's former PM Thakshin and Taiwan's former PM Tsai Ing-Wen were Hakka. Some say even Deng Xiaoping of China was a Hakka.
