@anymanfitness Seen them too here in London. Funny thing, all of em are lean and mean.

Whenever you start thinking we are getting healthier as a population, spend an hour at a gas station from 7 am - 8 am. It's all blue collar dudes buying Monsters, smokes, and Honey Buns, one after another. We have a long way to go.

This is 1984, Minority Report, Person of Interest and Black Mirror all rolled into one and cranked to the power of 1000. This isn’t sci-fi. It’s already happening. In China. Take a look at the “Dynamic Control Platform for Overseas Personnel” run by China’s Ministry of Public Security. It’s a live demo system fed with actual data on foreigners and plenty of Chinese nationals too. Real-time face recognition cameras track you walking from one block to the next. Your train seat, carriage, hotel registration, visa details, cellphone number, medical records, job info, daily routines, even how much gas you buy - all hoovered up and profiled by the system. It builds relationship models based on how often you appear together with someone on CCTV footage. It flags key personnel, foreign journalists, students, and anyone from Five Eyes countries for special suspicion. It has risk scores, fugitive lists, and statistical breakdowns by nationality. Data is pulled not just from police cameras but from private sources as well. Even ski lift access systems are not exempt - one journalist gets spotted skiing and the system lights up. Please understand that the false bogeyman of anti-Palantir sentiment in the West is pure projection. You will hear influencers and comedians (eg. Tim Dillon) clutch their pearls over @PalantirTech — a Western company building data tools that democracies can and do oversee, audit, and limit through courts, elections, and public scrutiny. Meanwhile they will ignore this. This data platform is actually official CCP infrastructure. There is no moral equivalence here.

@AmrikanDesiAnon I was in the early days but the global hostility to Indians and Hindus is compelling me to pick a side. That Norwegian journalist episode wasn't a one-off, she knew what she was doing and got her 15 mins of fame.

@guptanrr I think I have gotten tired of his nautanki propensity

Wasn't even very funny? Melody and Meloni is a stretch.

@sushantsareen The problem here with these guys is impulsivity. The status quo is boring for them. None of the killed were their kith or kin. What's the death of a few strangers for the chance to backslap and make jokes with the Pakistani elite? Utterly useless clowns.

"Talks and terror are not contradictory instruments in Pakistani strategy. They are complementary ones. The 2001 Parliament attack, the 2008 Mumbai attacks and the 2016 Pathankot attack all occurred when diplomatic channels were active. Dialogue did not moderate Pakistan’s behaviour, but instead provided strategic cover for it. When Delhi demonstrates that every terror strike will eventually be followed by renewed engagement, it incentivises precisely the behaviour it seeks to prevent.".....absolutely cracker of an article by @Utpal_Kumar1. I really think people in RSS and some armed forces veterans and all retd diplomats who so love Track-II read this and get a reality check. firstpost.com/opinion/track-…

Horrifying news coming from Haridwar’s Shyampur range, poachers poisoned two two year old tiger siblings, severed their legs, and were about to skin them for the illegal trade. One Van Gujjar, Alam alias Ammi, has been arrested, while three others Amir Hamza, Ashiq, and Juppi are on the run. The mother tigress remains missing as forest teams scour the area. The carcasses were found Monday evening and Tuesday afternoon near Sajanpur beat. They had laced buffalo meat with poison as a method to poach.

@mookjuice What do you think is behind Qatar's hate?

If the masses are fighting a scapegoat minority, they'll be distracted from the real problems & pointing fingers at the elites. It happened with the Jews There's also factions of the CIA. I would wager the faction running this op hates MAGA & wants to make them look like racists

There are 2 purposes to the anti-India racism. 1) Foreign Powers like China, Qatar & Russia are paying for botfarms & influencers to spread propaganda to weaken US India ties. 2) The CIA wants to create a division op.. Oldest trick in the book. Cont'd

As someone who has traveled extensively in Europe and stay in USA, the difference between the two is that Europe is shameless in its naked racism whereas USA genuinely tries to be accepting and egalitarian.

Rojas is a 2023 Soros Fellow. No one has done more to harm the fabric of society than George Soros, and his son is carrying the “torch”. riseuptogether.org/ashley-crystal…

@eigenrobot @PalmyrPar It was the colors right?

@PalmyrPar how long did it take you to realize it was refn i clocked it before the first cut

Yup, that is definitely a NWR production (derogatory but also somehow supportive too)

@sidin *made

@sidin Huh, I figured 'The Daughter of Time' would have your list.

If someone asked me to rank my ten favourite novels of all time it will probably be The Great Gatsby, The Guns of Navarone, MT's Randamoozham and then 7 crime novels.

Jesus, movies looked so darn good those days.

Or an excerpt from a Rushdie novel.

Lashkar terrorist comes to India to carry out attacks. Once here, he finds India different from what he was made to believe. Meanwhile, his severe hair loss is ‘deeply impacting his self esteem’. Goes to hair clinic, gets hair transplant done

@davidboxenhorn @hushtag_georg3 He's been retweeting a whole load of obvious falsehoods for a while now. And there's no doubt in my mind that he knows what he's doing.

@hushtag_georg3 It's not lately. It's been happening for two and a half years

Antisemitism in the US is at an all-time high, and politicians are vocally turning down "Jewish money" and you are suggesting that the only explanation for US election results is that the Jews are buying them. This is how hatred makes you stupid

My favorite standalone novels. 1. Lonesome Dove (Larry McMurtry) 2. Blood Meridian (Cormac McCarthy) 3. Sphere (Michael Crichton) 4. The Godfather (Mario Puzo) 5. Anthill (Vinoy Thomas) 6. Sacred Games (Vikram Chandra) 7. Gods without Men (@harikunzru) 8. Shalimar the Clown (Salman Rushdie) 9. The Gone World (Tom Sweterlitsch) 10. Shogum (James Clavell)

The very few times I've been in a fight, I've not felt in control of my own body. Have thrown a punch or a kick before my brain registered what was happening and have pulled one or hesitated when I probably shouldn't have. It's all in the subconscious.

It’s called The Wolverine Stack bro. “Pretty crazy how five years ago vaccines were the most devastating thing you could ever do to your body but nowadays its fine to inject Chinese peptides from Temu because you cant stop snacking after dinner” — @abetrade

@wordi25 Interesting. Try it at day time, you might find your appetite diminished (if that's something that helps with IF).

@guptanrr No not really. I have it at night, and sleep off.

I grew up seeing all the elderly in my family consume this. And now I have to coz I’m on iron supplements. But it’s such a goated product. 🫡 to The Sidhpur Sat Isabgol factory 😂 Add fiber to your diet kids. All that protein and no fiber will give you colon cancer.
