My suggestion, while trying to pass a Constitutional Amendment to bring in Women's Reservation & increase the strength of Parliament to 750-815, bring in a law that makes it mandatory for over 80% attendance per session for every Member of Parliament. This includes right from top, from the Hon'ble PM, to the Hon'ble LoP to an ordinary Member of Parliament & failure to have over 80% attendance in two sessions will mean a dismissal as MP. Also each MP has to raise 10 written questions for their constituency per session & a failure of this would mean the MPs will not get their perks as MPs! I am sure you agree with me :

I sometimes wonder why elected leaders appear so removed from people. The barriers, at least optically, feel more like a disconnect than a connection.

He is Additional CEO, Shri Mata Vaishnodevi Shrine, Katra Sachin Kumar Vaishya but when Pandit ji asked him to remove shoes before performing Pooja before opening ceremony of Board’s souvenir shop he felt a little bit uncomfortable and clearly said “that’s why he does not come for performing rituals”. A person who can’t respect Hindu traditions must not head our religious organisation. No doubt so many Muslims got seats Vaishno Devi Medical college

#WATCH | Delhi: AAP MP Raghav Chadha says, "Since yesterday, a scripted campaign has been going on against me. Same language, same words, same allegations. This is no coincidence, but a coordinated attack. At first, I thought I shouldn't respond. Then I thought that if a lie is repeated 100 times, some people might believe it. So, I decided to respond. The Aam Aadmi Party made three allegations, stating that because of these three allegations, they would not give Raghav Chadha a chance to speak in Parliament. The first allegation is that when the opposition walks out of Parliament, Raghav Chadha remains seated there. He does not walk out. This is a blatant lie. The second allegation was that Raghav Chadha refused to sign the impeachment motion against the Chief Election Commissioner, the petition to remove him. Another blatant lie. No Aam Aadmi Party leader asked me to sign this motion—neither formally nor informally. And the Aam Aadmi Party has a total of 10 MPs in the Rajya Sabha, of whom six or seven did not sign the motion themselves. So what is my fault in this? Why is all the blame being placed on me?... I did not go to Parliament to create noise, shout, break the microphone, or abuse. I went there to raise public issues..." (Source: Raghav Chadha/X)

I fucking love humans. Imagine the shit we’d come up with if we didn’t have to please shareholders.

'Don't Say Thank You Modi': Anand Ranganathan On India's Fuel Tax Cuts Amid West Asia War #AnandRanganathan argues that the recent fuel price cuts are a correction not a favour. He points out that when #COVID sent #oil prices to negative $37 a barrel, Indian consumers were still paying much higher rates at the pump. "You collected enough through this Ponzi scheme. Yes, it's good that you cut it but let's not go overboard," he says. #FuelTax #WestAsia #India @ARanganathan72 @prasadaditi

India ran the most important cardiovascular study of the 20th century by accident, and then immediately forgot about it. In 1967, Dr. S.L. Malhotra published a study in the British Heart Journal examining heart disease rates among 1.5 million Indian railway employees. The population was extraordinarily useful for research purposes: same employer, same healthcare access, comparable income and working conditions, spread across the entire country. The only meaningful variable was geography. Which meant diet. North Indian railway workers: Punjab, Rajasthan, UP, ate a diet built around ghee and dairy fat. They consumed up to 19 times more fat than their southern counterparts. The fat was primarily saturated: clarified butter, milk fat, the short-chain saturated fatty acids that Ancel Keys had recently been telling the Western world were arterial death. South Indian railway workers ate a diet based on rice, sambar, and seed oils: groundnut oil and sesame oil, primarily. They ate considerably less fat overall. By the standards of dietary advice being formulated in the 1960s, they should have been the healthy ones. Heart disease mortality in South India: 135 per 100,000. Heart disease mortality in North India: 20 per 100,000. Seven times higher in the population eating seed oils. Among railway sweepers specifically, the lowest-paid, most physically active workers, the gap was even wider. Heart disease was fifteen times more common in the South Indian sweeper population than in the North Indian sweeper population. Malhotra controlled for everything he could reach: smoking, where Northerners actually smoked more. Activity levels, where the relationship was inconsistent. Socioeconomic status, where executives died more often than sweepers regardless of region. He found no variable that explained the gap except the type of fat in the diet. He published the data. In a peer-reviewed journal. In 1967. The study was cited periodically, acknowledged as methodologically interesting, and then set aside. The decade in which Malhotra published was the decade in which Ancel Keys's fat hypothesis was being converted into policy. The American Heart Association was issuing guidance recommending polyunsaturated vegetable oils as replacements for saturated animal fats. The food industry was producing seed oils at industrial scale. The infrastructure of seed oil promotion was being built, expensively and with great institutional momentum. A study showing that populations eating animal fat had a fraction of the heart disease of populations eating seed oils was not, in that context, a study that anyone particularly wanted to follow up. Nobody followed up. Almost sixty years later, the finding stands unrefuted in the literature. It is not in the dietary guidelines.

Damn, this was actually very good. Ended up watching the whole hour.

Today, 19-year-old Iranian wrestler Saleh Mohammad was executed. The charge was “waging war against God.” These scumbags think they are God 😡🤬

There is an empty chair at a dinner table tonight. A school desk is vacant. A bedroom is cold. Mahsa Saril, just 14 years old, has been stolen from her family by the IRGC. For the "crime" of asking for a future, she now faces execution. She is a child. SHE IS A CHILD. Say her name until she is home #IranMassacre‌

It is unbelievable. This is happening in the 21st century but this young child is not a "worthy victim" so no street protests.

🚨 Why Seeing Earth From Space Breaks Something Inside You Crying when you see Earth for the first time isn’t crazy, it’s human. Psychologists call it the Overview Effect, and it’s one of the deepest emotional shifts a human being can experience. When an astronaut looks at Earth from space, the brain is confronted with something it was never prepared for: an entire planet floating in the void, without borders, without flags, protected only by an atmosphere as thin as the skin of an apple. Many astronauts describe it the same way: “From here you don’t see ideologies or countries. Just a fragile crew traveling together on the same ship.” In that moment, something breaks inside, and all problems seem insignificant against the cosmic silence. Perhaps humanity’s greatest mistake isn’t moral or technological, but one of distance. Maybe we don’t need more progress… maybe we need to look at our home from farther away to understand how absurd it is to destroy it from within.

The Chernobyl Suicide Squad of 1986: Three men who walked into a radioactive basement to save half of Europe. In the early hours of April 26, 1986, after the Chernobyl reactor exploded, a new and even greater danger formed underground. A massive blob of white-hot radioactive corium was slowly melting through the concrete floor directly above millions of gallons of water. If the corium reached that water, the resulting steam explosion could have destroyed the remaining reactors and spread radiation across much of Europe. The only way to stop it was to manually open the floodgates in the flooded, pitch-black basement beneath the reactor. Three engineers volunteered for what everyone believed was a suicide mission: Alexei Ananenko, Valeri Bespalov, and Boris Baranov. Wearing only thin wetsuits and carrying flashlights, they waded into knee-deep radioactive water. Their Geiger counters screamed the entire time. They found the valves in the darkness, turned them by hand, and drained the pool before the corium could reach the water. Their courage prevented a second, potentially far worse catastrophe. Contrary to many dramatic retellings, all three men survived the immediate mission. Alexei Ananenko and Valeri Bespalov are still alive today. The difference between a localised tragedy and a continent-wide disaster was the quiet bravery of three men with a wrench and a flashlight.

We need a centrist party that cares for the real Indians, does not divide india on caste or religion, reduces taxes, kicks out bureaucrats, increases welfare ends freebies, gives world class infrastructure and is mature & filled with gravitas

France has made planned obsolescence a criminal offense, becoming one of the first countries in the world to treat deliberate product shortening as a serious crime. Manufacturers caught intentionally designing electronics, appliances, or other goods to fail prematurely or become unusable—whether through hardware flaws, software updates that slow performance, or other engineered limitations—now face steep penalties: up to 2 years in prison and fines reaching €300,000, or as high as 5% of their average annual turnover in the most serious cases. This landmark law, building on France’s earlier consumer-protection framework and reinforced by high-profile scandals (such as the 2017–2018 investigations into smartphone “battery-gate” slowdowns), explicitly targets both physical and digital tactics used to push consumers toward frequent replacements. The legislation is more than just punishment—it’s a cornerstone of France’s broader “right to repair” agenda. By criminalizing practices that drive premature disposal, the government aims to: - Slash the massive environmental footprint of electronic waste, - Protect consumers from hidden “forced upgrades,” - Encourage manufacturers to prioritize durability, repairability, and longer-lasting support. France’s tough stance sends a clear message to global tech and appliance companies: the era of disposable-by-design products is ending. By leading the charge on sustainability and consumer rights, the country is helping shift the world toward a more circular economy—one where goods are built to last, repaired when needed, and discarded only when truly necessary.

Fine. Agree. But what is the governments duty then eh. Just collect taxes and provide no social security. Give me a break.
