PLEASE REPOST!!

Milan closed one door. Centrale Méditerranée opened another. Now I need £1000 urgently to secure my place. I don’t want another dream to slip away. Please help me hold on to this chance.

"We wouldn't be doing this if Hamas hadn't attacked on October 7, 2023." Israel in 2014 :

Just bros hanging out together, not a phone in sight

i won’t forget this and neither should you, thank you Iran.

The dark history of the US military base at Diego Garcia exposed. The UK and US forcibly removed thousands of indigenous people from their homes just to build a launchpad for their bombers and nuclear submarines. Absolute imperialism and ethnic cleansing.

But definitely dont ask why the United States has a military base 15,000km away from its territory, on a coral island in the middle of the Indian Ocean, that was illegally cleansed of all of its native inhabitants to make way for the installation

The fact that Iran had all these missiles and didn’t use them despite grave provocation for years should tell the world they’re far more ready to be a responsible nuclear power than most in the West

Pray that Israel gets treated the way that it treated people in Gaza.

I got a tiny bit bored of talking about Chennai's positives, and decided I would burn a few rainforests and dry out a river or two to do this: nadika-nadja.github.io/city-index/ A city index that looks at a bunch of parameters. Built it up from an India only list to a global thing

Liberals think free market will solve the problem of groping and public harassment, mindblowing take really

Is this “$20b value” in the room with us right now?

a reporter spent a day as a ncr resident and found the breathing hard, the headache sharp and the eyes burning. what the reporter did not do was spend a day doing what a ncr resident would have done if the air hadn’t existed at all.

no one: hrnidh:

By their own admission, the 10-minute target was never written down, only imposed on riders. So, this is window-dressing. PR was never the issue. Exploitation packaged as efficiency was. Dignity doesn't magically arrive with the slogan’s exit. +

Moreover, the skills that will “let you figure it out if you had to” is just social capital and privilege. If I were you, I’d be grateful things worked out for me and not use secondhand stories to make a “oh look I made it despite the world trying to bring me down” point lol

Hey so dunking on people who don’t have a book deal or enough money to cover for their meds isn’t the vindication arc you think it is. Good on you for having had a ‘successful’ career or whatever but you don’t have to be so smug about it.

AOC when it’s time to defend Israel

So, I am told that this piece has been shared on some Indian venture capitalist groups and name calling along expected lines has happened :-) The term 'socialist' seems to be topping the charts, especially one associated with a certain kind of wine. Clearly, when you can't have an informed argument and when your living depends on not understanding something, resorting to name calling is the easiest way out, as so many in and around the business of managing other people's money (OPM) tend to specialise in these days. Just to make it clear, no one is saying we should shut down these businesses. But don't give me that bull: at least they are creating jobs. Leave that holier than thou attitude for the politicians and the religious gurus. One, there is no evidence to say that they are creating jobs at the aggregate economy level. What there is evidence of is that India has many gig workers. No one really has studied the impact of all the discounting that is going on. The second order effects haven't been studied. So, we are not sure whether net net they are creating jobs or destroying them. Two, all the ESOPs that these VC types have and are happy to sell when the IPO happens, would be worth zero, without the desperation of the gig workers, and the naïveté of retail investors. So, please don't come up with we are trying to change the world kind of bull. You have figured out how to exploit systematic inequality in your favour. That's about it. Third, just because you are rich doesn't necessarily mean you are right and what you are doing is right. You are basically making money through exploitation. Period. Fourth, I didn't want to say this, but I guess I will. Such companies are basically sophisticated Ponzi schemes, as long as more money keeps coming in, losses can be sustained, and the show can go on. Just because you call it capitalism, doesn't make it that. Words, even with their slippery nature, have some meaning. Spare me this Orwellian doublespeak.
