Are Americans tired of winning yet?

Skill issue.

@neolib_abhishek You're literally an Indian.

Giving opportunity to people in mid 30s who want to Join the military is a good thing. Unamerican idiots who bitch against it are just wierdos.

Americans are so surprised that their President is blatantly lying to them. Meanwhile, our guy is yet to say anything true over the last decade and a half.

On the India-US trade deal, three myths. Myth 1: It is a deal, which involves give and take. India gave up certain things like Russian oil and tariffs, got the US to lower from 50% to 18%. Reality: The US raised tariffs from 2.4% effectively to 18%. 1/9

RT @SZade15: Yes.

@deepigoyal Cool story bro. Too bad gig workers want fair wages, social security, and better working conditions. "Visibility" doesn't pay the bills.

Last one on this topic, and I have been holding this in myself for a while. For centuries, class divides kept the labor of the poor invisible to the rich. Factory workers toiled behind walls, farmers in distant fields, domestic help in backrooms. The wealthy consumed the fruits of that labor without ever seeing the faces or the fatigue behind it. No direct encounter, no personal guilt. The gig economy shattered that invisibility, at unprecedented scale. Suddenly, the poor aren't hidden away. They're at your doorstep: the delivery partner handing over your ₹1000+ biryani, late-night groceries, or quick-commerce essentials. You see them in the rain, heat, traffic, often on borrowed bikes, working 8–10 hours for earnings that give them sustenance. You see their exhaustion, their polite smile masking frustration with life in general. This is the first time in history at this scale that the working class and consuming class interact face-to-face, transaction after transaction. And that discomfort with our own selves is why we are uncomfortable about the gig economy. We want these people to look our part, so that the guilt we feel while taking orders from them feels less. We aren't just debating economics. We are confronting guilt. That ₹800 order might equal their entire day's earnings after fuel, bike rent, and app cuts. We tip awkwardly, or avoid eye contact, because the inequality is no longer abstract. It's personal. Pre-gig era, the rich could enjoy luxury without moral discomfort. Labor was out of sight. Now, every doorbell ring is a reminder of systemic inequality. That's why debates explode. It's not just policy. It's emotional reckoning. Some defend the system (“they choose it”), others demand change (“this isn't progress, its exploitation”). And here’s the uncomfortable twist: the unsaid ask of clumsy ‘solutions’ isn’t dignity. It is about returning to invisibility. Ban gig work and you don’t solve inequality. You remove livelihoods. These jobs don’t magically reappear as formal, protected employment the next day. They disappear, or they get pushed back into the informal economy where there are even fewer protections and even less accountability. Over-regulate it until the model breaks, and you achieve the same outcome through paperwork instead of slogans: the work evaporates, prices rise, demand collapses, and the people we claim to protect are the first to lose income. And then what happens? The rich get their old comfort back. Convenience returns without faces. Guilt dissolves. We go back to clean abstractions and moral posturing from a distance. The poor don’t become safer, they become invisible again: back in cash economies, back in backrooms, back in shadows where regulation rarely reaches and dignity isn’t even debated. The gig economy just exposed the reality of inequality to the people who previously had the luxury of not seeing it. The doorbell is not the problem. The question is what we do after opening the door. Visibility is the price of progress. We can either use this discomfort to build something better (which we keep doing continuously as delivery partners are our backbone), or we can ban and over-regulate our way back into ignorance. One of those choices improves lives. The other simply helps the consuming class feel virtuous in the dark.

RT @poeticliessense: Deepinder and Friends: omg if you think our gig workers are unhappy just TALK to them and see for yourself Everyone:…

What's unfair is that Deepinder Goyal's net worth hasn't been seized and redistributed to Zomato and Blinkit workers yet.

The age old liberal tendency of claiming to oppose state repression and draconian laws but openly weaponising it as soon as someone says something you don't like. Scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds.

My uncontroversial opinion is that government bank employees don't get beaten up enough.

Always a pleasure to see Javed Akhtar's opinions get bludgeoned to death in the marketplace of ideas.

Air quality is a western neocolonial construct to malign the great nation of India and prevent it from becoming a superpower by 2030 🫶

Heard 5 minutes of Peter Thiel on a podcast and I'm 100% sure this guy rolls into a ball and cries himself to sleep every time he pays any kind of tax.

Rookie numbers. They must do better.
