The sun was free. They sold you SPF 50 and a vitamin D deficiency. Sleep was free. They sold you an app, a pill, and a wearable that tells you your sleep was bad. Walking was free. They sold you a treadmill, a fitness tracker, and a £180 pair of trainers. Fasting was free. They sold you meal replacement shakes and the anxiety that skipping breakfast would wreck your metabolism. Cold water was free. They sold you a £3,000 plunge barrel and a podcast episode about it. Silence was free. They sold you a meditation app with a premium tier. Animal fat was cheap. They sold you seed oils, then supplements to replace what the animal fat contained. Tallow was cheap. They sold you a seventeen-step skincare routine and a clinical trial proving your face needs ceramides. Meat was cheap. They are currently selling you the idea that you shouldn't eat it. The 20th century removed access to everything the body needs to function. The 21st century is selling it back, one subscription at a time. Your great-grandmother had none of the products. She had all of the things.

This is NOT funny. This is criminal. A kid sitting in the backseat of this car (DL2CBF0212) was throwing water balloons at bike riders on a flyover. One rider was seconds away from a fatal fall… this could have been a death, not a “prank”. Even more shocking, the woman in the co-passenger seat is seen laughing. This is reckless endangerment. Strict action must be taken before someone actually loses their life. Date: 27 March Time: 2:38 PM Location: Not known, so don’t ask. Source: Instagram @/sachinmvlogs2510 @dtptraffic @DelhiPolice, will you act only after a tragedy happens? Identify them. Take action.

I travelled to Madhubani, Bihar to report on the brutal killing of Roshan Khatoon and what I found is deeply disturbing. On 25 February 2026, during the month of Ramadan, Roshan Khatoon was tied to a pole and mercilessly beaten by more than 20 people, including men and women, while she was fasting, after she went to the village head’s house to resolve a dispute. Her family says that when she asked for water, she was instead forced to drink a mixture of alcohol and urine, an act they describe as deliberate humiliation because she was a Muslim woman. She succumbed to her injuries on 1 March. What followed raises even more serious questions. Instead of immediately ensuring medical care and justice, police allegedly took Roshan Khatoon and her husband to the Police station while she was critically injured and demanded ₹50,000 for their release. The family says they were eventually released after 5–6 hours after paying ₹4,000. Nineteen people have been named in the FIR. Yet, nearly a month later, only one arrest has been made. Her family alleges that the accused are being shielded due to political backing from BJP and JDU leaders. Meanwhile, even after weeks, the postmortem report has still not been released. A woman was lynched, humiliated in the most inhuman way, and a month later, justice remains nowhere in sight. @bihar_police #JusticeForRoshanKhatoon

Reuters confirmed that the elementary school in the Iranian city of Minab was bombed TWICE by the US military, 40 minutes apart. This was intentional. You don't "accidentally" bomb a school TWO TIMES. 168 children and 14 teachers were killed. It was a massacre.

Similarities between Israel's bombing of Gaza and Tehran are growing stronger. In both cases, it appears Israel is using AI without any human oversight. For instance, Israel has bombed a park in Tehran called "Police park." It has nothing to do with the police. But it appears AI identified it as a target since Israel is bombing all government related buildings. No one in Israel brothered to check and find out that it is just a park.

George Galloway: The massacre of 167 girls, aged 7 to 12, at an elementary school in Iran is the greatest atrocity committed by the United States since the Vietnam War. It is the largest mass killing of schoolgirls ever recorded in world history. Yet no one is talking about it

Bombing Iran in the middle of negotiations, while starving Cuba, while genociding Palestinians, while threatening to invade Greenland… the US and Israel are the single greatest threat to humanity and it’s not even close. We are all forced to live in the nightmare they create.

@RailMadad This empty train is always occupying Platform No. 1 at Hassan Railway Station forcing passengers to board trains from Platform No. 2/3. Request concerned authorities to do something about it as it is causing inconvenience to all the passengers.

Hey @zomato @zomatocare how do I get a refund if there’s a cockroach in the food I ordered from your platform. 🤮 I cannot deal with your AI chatbot anymore. Would appreciate a human intervention.

ICYMI: The ecommerce giant #Shopee entered India silently in November last year, without any big campaigns before its launch. That said, it definitely looks to be invested in the vast ecommerce opportunity in #India. 🛍️🇮🇳 buff.ly/3JBmTUL
