The ground reality of TN was not known to anyone - does this mean the media in TN was propaganda machine, and didn't reflect the real position of TN populace? The TN media should introspect and get out of the shackles of DMK and be a real pillar of democracy #TNElectionResults

Ha ha... Tent ah la kalachtangada...

So Vijay is the next CM of TamilNadu. Let that sink in... Hope he has good advisors next to him, unlike Stalin. #TNelections.

Defining moments in TN history... TVK leading against the two Dravidian parties!! #electionresult2026

@anishmoonka So the great Wall can be seen from space for its full length is all false. Also the photos of the great Wall ending at the sea?

Less than 2% of the Great Wall of China looks like the postcards. The other 98% looks like the photos in this tweet. Crumbling mounds of dirt. The full thing runs 21,196 km. About half the Earth's equator. But it was built across 2,000 years by more than a dozen dynasties, and only the Ming (1368 to 1644) built it at scale with brick and stone. Everyone before them, the Qin, the Han, the Warring States kingdoms, used whatever was at their feet. Mostly dirt. The technique is called hangtu, which just means rammed earth. Workers poured soil and gravel into wooden frames and pounded each layer down from 18 cm thick to 13 cm. Then another layer. Then another. In the Gobi desert, where the ground was mostly sand and there was no clay to bind it, builders alternated sand with reed and willow branches. Some of those Han-era walls are still standing 3.2 meters tall after 2,000 years, made entirely from packed sand and sticks. Then in 1644, the wall stopped having a job. The Ming dynasty fell after a Ming general opened the gates at Shanhai Pass and let the Manchu armies through. The Manchus founded the Qing dynasty and ran China from inside the wall, which meant the wall was now guarding nothing. They also did something the Ming never did. Instead of fighting the Mongols on the other side, they pacified them through trade and diplomacy. Within a few decades, the wall had no enemies left to keep out. So the maintenance budget that had kept it standing for almost three centuries just ended. For the next 380 years, weather did its work. Farmers carved into the base for fields. Villagers pulled bricks for houses. Salt seeped in and ate the rammed earth from the inside. Even the famous Ming sections lost about 30% of their length this way. The stone wall in every photo, with watchtowers and stairs, is mostly one strip near Beijing. Badaling is 3.74 km long. The Chinese government picked it to restore in 1957 because it was close to the capital and easy to reach. Over 500 visiting heads of state took photos there. That image is what most of us now picture when we hear "Great Wall." It pulls 70% of all Great Wall tourism, while the other 99.98% of the structure quietly erodes. The rammed-earth sections that survive are getting help from biology. A 2024 paper studying eight Ming-era earthen walls found that bacteria, moss, and lichen growing on the surface (called biocrusts) make the dirt up to 321% stronger than bare earth. The microbes form a thin living skin that holds soil particles together, blocks rainwater from soaking in, and slows salt damage. 380 years of human attempts at preservation. A layer of moss is doing more work. The world's most famous wall is, mostly, a 21,000 km ruin held together by bacteria.

I always have this doubt - why aren't Muslims considered right-wing? Aren't they the ultimate right wing element in terms of cultural and political policies. Economically they are no wing though. That's how Islamists get the backing of left liberal, but eventually gets mugged.

@TNElectionCEO advise the national highways traffic control to take the heavy vehicles out of the roads today. The main reason for traffic and congestion in GST is because of trucks and lorries. #TNelections2026 #Vote #voterturnout

Should take all heavy vehicles out of the road immediately to ease the traffic...

All heavy on GST road should be stopped immediately. The traffic is mainly due to lorries and trucks... People going to vote should be priority. Will someone in authority take action? #voterturnout #TNElection2026 #chengalpattu

If BJP continues protests all over, this stooge will soon create a case and do propaganda to ask for a ban on protests. Let the BJP do more protests...

@VamsiChandran @GNMarudhan @redlion377 @Seeman4TN The start of Dravidian politics is based on hatred and divisiveness, not inclusiveness.

@GNMarudhan @redlion377 @Seeman4TN Dravidian parties are not anti brahmin. Its easier for a brahmin to leada dravidian party than any caste.

I feel bad for @Seeman4TN anna 😔. Although I oppose his divisive politics I have admired his hardwork🫡. Its really painful when I sense that the vote which Seeman got by working hard on ground for 10yrs, Vijay will easily be getting that vote in 1 election without working much.🤷‍♂️

@ZoolHayat @DefiyantlyFree Just a genuine question out of curiosity. Ok, let's consider Gaza was not "given", but taken over to "rightful" owners, or whatever. What was built from Gaza after the takeover? What was done to improve the lives of people? I know the answer will be "until the Jews....

@DefiyantlyFree Give it away, as if it were their property. Shame. Israel withdrew and turned it into an open prison. Then, you are free to a Satanyahu, but they banned form choosing their own leadership. Eh!

2005: Israel GAVE Gaza away. Not “ended an occupation.” GAVE. IT. AWAY. — Every soldier: gone. — Every settler: gone. 8,000 Israelis dragged out of their homes by their own army, some kicking and screaming. Entire communities destroyed. — Jewish graves: exhumed, because Israel knew they’d be desecrated otherwise. — Greenhouses: LEFT STANDING. American Jewish donors paid $14 million to buy them and leave them intact so Palestinians could farm and build an economy. Within days, Palestinians looted and destroyed most of them. — Infrastructure: synagogues, farms, factories left behind as a functioning starter economy. Israel handed Gaza the keys to a functioning proto-state. A gift. 2006: They elected Hamas a genocidal terror group whose founding charter calls for the murder of every Jew on earth. Read it. It’s not subtle. 2005–2023: The world gave Gaza tens of billions of dollars. US, EU, UN, Qatar, Gulf states reconstruction funds, UNRWA, humanitarian aid. Estimates run $40+ billion total. What did Hamas build with it? — 300 to 500 MILES of terror tunnels longer than the NYC subway system. Under hospitals. Under schools. Under UNRWA facilities. Built with concrete meant for civilian housing. — Rocket factories. — A weapons smuggling empire through Sinai tunnels. — Personal billions for Hamas leaders. Haniyeh. Mashaal. Meshaal. Living in Qatari luxury hotels while children in Gaza starved. Look up their net worth. Go ahead. What they did NOT build: — A single functioning hospital they didn’t weaponize — A single school they didn’t store rockets in — A single bomb shelter for civilians (they have shelters for fighters) — An economy — A future Since Israel withdrew in 2005, Hamas and other Gaza terror groups have fired OVER 20,000 rockets at Israeli civilians. — 2008: rocket barrages + cross-border raid → Cast Lead — 2012: rocket barrages → Pillar of Defense — 2014: kidnap and murder of three Israeli teens + rockets → Protective Edge — 2021: 4,400 rockets in 11 days → Guardian of the Walls — 2023: 5,000+ rockets on October 7 alone. 12,000 more in the following months. ISRAEL STARTED NONE OF THEM. Every single war, every single round, started with rockets from Gaza or attacks on Israeli civilians. October 7 was not “resistance.” — 1,200 murdered in a single day. — Babies burned alive. — Women gang-raped beside the corpses of their friends. — Entire families executed in their safe rooms. — 250+ hostages dragged into tunnels. — The worst single-day massacre of Jews since the Holocaust. “But the destruction in Gaza…” Yes. It’s devastating. And here’s what your genocide post leaves out: — Israel has nuclear weapons. Hasn’t used them. — Israel has the firepower to flatten Gaza in a day from the air. Hasn’t done it. — Instead, Israel has sent soldiers building by building, tunnel by tunnel, losing 900+ of its own young men and women, BECAUSE it’s trying to minimize civilian casualties against an enemy that hides behind them. — Israel issues evacuation warnings — leaflets, texts, phone calls tipping off Hamas in the process. — Hamas fires from hospitals, schools, mosques, UN facilities. They’ve admitted it. They’ve been filmed doing it. They’re proud of it. Gaza looks like this because the world continues to excuse barbaric terrorism instead of wiping it off the face of the map.

இந்த தேர்தலில் அதிக மரியாதை இழந்த ஒருவர், என்ன ர், ன் போதும் இனிமேல், ஒருவன், இந்த மனிதன் தான்.

ஒரு ஜான் வயதுக்கு எல்லாத்தையும் விக்ர விபச்சாரிய விட கேவலமான பிழைப்பு திமுககாரணோடாது

I was expecting he was going to talk about Iran attacking Indian ships... I think it 20 year old tactics to talk like this. Modi needs to change the format and the delivery to address the changing times.

@haki21k @TwitzKarthi 71 delimitation la 41 MP seats ah 39 ah kurachathu correct apo?

@TwitzKarthi அவ்ளோ அக்கறை இருந்தா 1. Amend Article 81 and freeze the 1971 census for another 25 years. (or) 2. Bring in another Delimitation Bill that says 50% flat increase for all states.

தற்போது தொகுதி மறுவரை செய்யவில்லை என்றால் அடுத்த Census-க்கு பிறகு Article 81, 82 மற்றும் 330A ஆகியவை தானாகவே நடைமுறைக்கு வரும். அதன் படி, 543 தொகுதிகளுக்கு மறுவரை செய்யப்பட்டு தமிழகத்திற்கு 31 தொகுதிகள், கேரளாவிற்கு 20-ல் இருந்து 14 தொகுதிகள் மட்டுமே கிடைக்கும். அடுத்த ஆண்டு தமிழகத்திற்கு தொகுதிகள் குறைந்தால் அதற்கு முழு காரணம் திமுக தான்! தமிழகத்துக்கு துரோகம் பண்ணிட்டு பட்டாசு வேற வெடிச்சிட்டு இருக்கானுங்க.🤦🏻‍♂️ #WomensVsDMK #Delimitation

@sansbarrier My father was a staunch Congress supporter from 70s. The main reason was nationalism, not regionalism or liberalism. After 2016, not 2014 or before, he started supporting BJP and now is a functionary of the party. He is not alone, a lot from our village has turned to BJP.

One factor which I noticed while conversing and travelling with people across the state is in rural tn, bjp is emerging amongst the middle class in a significant manner. This whole argument of not letting bjp inside tn is bunkum and baloney. Blind Modi bashing is not going to cut much ice with mainstream rural population .

@GanzeGeschichte Zimmermen

In Germany, carpenters still travel across the country in traditional costume to this day. The journey of those who have already passed their journeyman’s examination and now wish to become master carpenters lasts at least three years and one day. During this time, these unmarried and debt-free men are not allowed to set foot in their hometown; they must even keep many kilometers away from it—they are not even allowed to go home for Christmas. Modern devices such as cell phones are prohibited. The journeyman also does not own a car but covers all distances on foot. The journeymen of the carpentry trade are a historical relic from the Middle Ages, yet they are also a reality of the year 2026. Traditional attire includes a curved walking stick and an earring in the left ear.

@sciencegirl That's a blinker signal ..

A snake was seen rolling like this on a road, likely due to severe distress or injury,

The reasons given are exactly why the Muslims cannot assimilate and exactly why they would not follow the law of the land. Islam is tied to Sharia in all ways of life, public and personal. That's why they are not compatible with democracy when in majority.
