@paulg They are also very transparent and direct with their feedback and emotions. You don't have to guess if they actually mean what they said or if they just feigned interest.

Even though nerds are socially awkward, its actually easier to hang out with them than with smooth people, because standards are lower. You don't worry that you might be making social errors; all of you always are; so it stops mattering.

@ShivAroor Please put a trigger warning on the photo. It was very disturbing to see that.

Raghu Rai 1942-2026 His most famous picture from the 1984 Bhopal Gas tragedy. Ever since I first saw this photograph decades ago, a single thought has stayed with me—what was this child’s name?

reading history is crazy because it's like wow everyone already said all these things and nobody listened

Twenty years ago I created Montessori middle schools in the Bay Area. Half the students came up from Montessori elementary, half transferred from public schools. No matter how bright and well-behaved the public school kids were, when we gave them an environment where they could pick what they wanted to work on, they couldn't function. The Montessori kids walked into the room every morning and got right to work. They knew how to manage their time. They had been doing it for years. The public school kids took a semester or sometimes a full year to learn how to use their time responsibly. Six years of being told what to do every minute of every day had trained that capacity out of them completely.

@ajayrotti Not enough shoes. I still see some white space left.

I searched for Clarks Black formal shoes with lace once in the morning. Look at my screen now!!! This isnt AI generated screen. Actual browser... I am not kidding. 🤦🤦

@MadsPosting In general, this is an either-or situation. But I am at the neither-nor situation.

@ADfanatic_New Recently saw a clip that in Uri, Kirti Kulhari's husband's name was also Jaskirat Singh Rangi!!

One of the worst relics of colonialism, apart from the three member committee, is the show cause notice. It is not a notice of punishment, it is not a notice of sanction but more of a polite letter asking why we shouldn't take action against you. It's like, the govt asks you, "you have killed one person, embezzled 4500 cr of public money or wantonly inconvenienced 10000 people, so tell me why we shouldn't take against you" I mean if the govt wants to take action they should. Why send them a piece of paper and all. Show cause notice is one useless piece of paper that offers nothing, does nothing, doesn't deter nor punishes. The only thing it does is enable the govt to proudly say, "We have issued a Show cause notice and we are waiting for response" We don't even get to see the response. Show cause notice is one of those old relics which enables the govt to not govern but show that they are governing.

@ShivAroor *You'll have to fly Indigo in 3-4 days. Corrected!

You’ll be flying IndiGo in 3-4 days.

@ButVai @BlrLitFest Underrated tweet

With the @BlrLitFest at Freedom Park (formerly central jail), this venue has housed both prose and cons.

@os7borne Maybe because- 1. The public transport is very good in BOM and DEL. Reliable and cheap. 2. A lot of migrants in BLR, buying cars as individuals, and not family. (Do they get counted in popn?)

was looking for a proxy indicator of growing affluence in cities. Thought a car purchase would be a good one that data is fascinating itself, but went a little further, and was surprised that BOM and DEL have similar % of cars to population. shocked that BLR is 16% unverified

@joeroganhq Get @ShashiTharoor please!

Name someone who you think deserves to go on Joe Rogan, but is overlooked.

@joeroganhq Have you had @dansenor yet?

Shouldn't the first rule of doing propaganda be not declaring that you are doing propaganda?

@avidseries @jeremymstamper I don't think either "invented" DNA, right?

James Watson, who invented DNA, has died at 97.

@MSDianAbhiii I have been looking for triple schezwan rice for so long in Bangalore. But they just don't get it.

Chinese food in Mumbai just hits different; you won't find this anywhere else in India.

@Chinmayi @RajanSathya24 Sheesh! Doubling down on such a misogynistic stance. Good on her for standing her ground.

@asmita_10 @RajanSathya24 That he has the right; they have asked other female actors; nothing wrong and a whole lot of shouting

Gowri did an amazing job. The moment you call out a disrespectful and an unnecessary question - a whole lot of shouting down happens. So proud that someone so young stood her ground and pushed back. No male actor gets asked what his weight is. No idea why they asked a female actor 🤷🏻‍♀️

@RajanSathya24 @Chinmayi What was he arguing on about? I don't understand Tamil.

@Chinmayi Actually they should turn the cameras to these jouranalist side and expose these people asking unwanted questions
