Sir Grumps A Lot

Good to see the lads at Supper tonight! Think I’ll make this a weekly thing

Name him and shame him. Soham Naik, son of Goa BJP Councillor Sushant Naik. He sexually abused multiple minors, recorded the abuse blackmail them, and shared the videos with acquaintances. Power-drunk depraved predators committing their crimes with impunity.

This is just one trick media use to manufacture consent for war.

If you know me, you’ve heard me talk about this story for months. @HeraRizwan reported from 3 states. We obsessed over every detail. Google's AI, designed for phones, is now rationing food to pregnant women. Read. Get angry. Share boomlive.in/decode/ai-faci… @pulitzercenter

If Iran had a nuclear weapon the war wouldn’t have started to begin with, because Iran did not start the war. America dared Iran because it knew Iran had no Nuclear weapon. Have you ever seen America talk about regime Change in North Korea, China or Russia? Buy yourself some sense.

Holding up a picture of Declan Rice’s partner isn’t banter, it’s pathetic and in poor taste.

Open Access | The Sangh’s consistently articulated goal is to cleanse, and then become, this organism. This commitment to sangathan, or collective, the RSS’s leaders have long insisted, is understood as a necessary part of overcoming an alleged Hindu emasculation and disunity. For the Sangh, sangathan is both the means and the end: the path to Hindu Rashtra. This organicism, therefore, is not simply metaphorical. It is an ecological organising principle, part of the Sangh’s stated goal of “Sangh samaj banega”—the Sangh will become society. The RSS understands that having spawning diverse organisations is not incompatible with organisational singularity. This has been repeatedly articulated by RSS leaders, from Hedgewar: "As time passes, the direction of RSS founder Dr K B Hedgewar that RSS should not be an organisation within the society, but an organisation of the society." To Golwalkar: "The Sangh … has never entertained the idea of building an organisation as a distinct and separate unit within society. Right from its inception the Sangh has clearly marked out as its goal the moulding of the whole of society, and not merely any one part of it, into an organised entity." To the current RSS spokesperson Sunil Ambekar: "The Sangh is a network of networks. There is no limit on the number of organisations that can be seeded to support the multiple issues in society that necessitate intervention." What the world’s first network map of the RSS, revealing over twenty-five hundred organisations with concrete, traceable, material ties leading to the organisation, tell us about how the Sangh functions, Felix Pal (@FelixPal8) explains: caravanmagazine.in/politics/unvei… Explore the network map here: rssproject.caravanmagazine.in Insightful, impactful journalism like this is made possible by your support.

@NoronhaSullivan I think Richy for Leo made sense. He needed someone on the LW. But yeah, Norgaard should get some league mins. On to Spurs now

@kurtbento MOTM a few days back, gets zero minutes in the league.. Some of the decisions were baffling. Why did Richy come on over Norgaard?

Deserved this! Need Gabi gone in the summer! #WOLARS

@NoronhaSullivan Timbers had a few poor matches tbh. And Zubi looked tired. Not sure why MA doesn't bring on Norgaard in league matches.

@kurtbento Yesterday was just shocking. Timber who is otherwise brilliant had a mare. No one could keep the ball. The left side was awful.

@NoronhaSullivan Ah, was wondering for a minute. Yeah, we need an entire left hand side upgrade. Both aren't cutting it.

@kurtbento Small one! Big Gabi is untouchable!

Galgotias University is proof that most educational institutions in India, barring the top 20 colleges, add very little real-world value and just operate like degree factories.

Replug | From allowing people, “to vent their anger” by burning buses in 2018 to urging that their properties be confiscated by the end of 2019, what made Jaggi Vasudev change so fast? scroll.in/article/948963… Qudsiya Contractor & Suryakant Waghmore ✍️ #Sadhguru

The ‘bel’ in ‘decibel’ is for Alexander Graham Bell. Since the ‘B’ in 'dB' is a name-derived unit, it is capitalized when abbreviated.

This can be sorted out with tracks that sound musical while a train is passing over it

The entire private sector, accounting for 98% of jobs has always been "unreserved", but couldn't produce even a jet engine indigenously because of unmeritorious Brahman-UCs. So, stop peddling nonsense against us SC/ST/OBC.

Reservations apply to barely 5% of jobs and at most 40% of colleges in India. It’s peak delusion to think that this is responsible for the country’s failures. Rather it’s a coping mechanism for dominant castes to externalise blame and mask their own collective mediocrity.

@MrNarci I think he works at one of the government offices here.

there's that running joke about some Brazilians looking like Indians, specifically Goans (like the footballer Rodrygo). began watching The Secret Agent, and the cop in the first scene wouldn't feel out of place in Goa at all either

Man I can’t believe the descendants of Europe’s settler colonialism, slave owners, the kkk, the Nazis and the Zionists turned out to be child trafficking sex predators
