Only question: why can’t we just act normal when we’re abroad? Foreign jaate hi sabka dance kyun bahr ane lagta hai ? Why do we feel the need to stand out everywhere across the globe? Everyone else is sitting quietly and enjoying the moment, but our people somehow have to pull out a full Chaiyya Chaiyya performance.

BREAKING: South Korea’s stock market surges to a new record high, now officially up another +100% in 2026.

Chishmish anchor says Gen Z are paying taxes, paying rents, they are protesting because they don’t have jobs. Such an audacity to say in one sentence that they are paying taxes they don’t have jobs

India need dictatorship for 10 years to fix things fast. Who all agree?

A dad took a photo of a rash on his sick toddler so the doctor could see it over video. It saved to Google Photos by itself. Two days later Google had wiped his email and phone number and reported him to the police for child abuse. The police looked into it and cleared him completely. Google still would not give his account back. That same year another dad in a different state went through the exact same thing, and the New York Times wrote about both of them in 2022. The manga artist in this post fell into the same machine. Anything you save to Google Drive or Google Photos gets scanned and turned into a kind of digital fingerprint, a short code that stands in for your file. Google compares that code against a huge list of files it has already banned, like pirated movies or known abuse photos. The newer software does not even wait for a match. It looks at a picture it has never seen and makes its own guess about whether you broke a rule. When the software flags you, the damage does not stop at one file. Your Google login is also your YouTube, your photos, sometimes your phone service, and the button you click to log into dozens of other websites. One flagged upload can lock you out of all of it at once, which is how the artist lost things that had nothing to do with Drive. This post asks how long Google has been doing this, and the numbers answer it. In a single six-month stretch, Google reported more than a million files to the national center that tracks child-abuse material and shut down about 270,000 accounts. Some of those people did nothing wrong, like the two dads. Getting back in is nearly impossible. A law from 1996 gives tech companies broad legal cover for decisions like this, and the fine print you agreed to lets Google shut your account whenever it likes. The dad the police cleared never got his back, even after officers confirmed he had done nothing wrong. Anything you upload to Google can be scanned by software with the power to shut down your whole online life on its own, before a single person ever reviews the decision. The manga artist is just the latest to find that out.

London Underground station flooding has reportedly been reduced by around 90% thanks to a group of engineers: beavers. After conservationists reintroduced a family of beavers into a nearby city park, the animals built dams and restored wetlands that now absorb and slow floodwater naturally. Authorities had planned major man-made flood infrastructure, but the beavers effectively created their own system — while also boosting biodiversity and restoring the ecosystem around them.

Every single place in India is just so overcrowded. - Want to go to a park? Hundreds are already there, not enough space. - Want to go to a temple? You won’t even get five minutes of peace. - Want to visit a hill station? Not a single hotel is available. - Same with Ladakh, Uttarakhand, and everywhere else. It feels like the calmest place is your own house.
