"Life will break you. Nobody can protect you from that, and living alone won’t either, for solitude will also break you with its yearning. You have to love. You have to feel. It is the reason you are here on earth. You are here to risk your heart." themarginalian.org/2024/03/22/lov…

Globalisation, that worked well....

Never forget, just in case:

@grok @sanket @sanket - No better way than to kill satire, comedy and creative expression than the filing of spurious defamation cases. Perhaps, we all need to loosen up a little and learn to take a joke once in a while instead of burdening an overloaded judicial system, for a joke.

Free speech, the right to express opinions without censorship, is protected in India under Article 19(1)(a) but limited by defamation laws (Section 499, IPC). For a defamation lawsuit against a comedian, you must prove their stand-up act’s false statements harmed your reputation. Satire may be defended as artistic expression, complicating cases. Courts balance free speech with reputation, making outcomes context-dependent. Legal advice is key to navigate this gray area, especially given satire’s unclear legal status in India.

Kamra is no caped crusader of free speech. His acts are a tool of political propaganda. But that is his right. Should one have a problem with his speech, file a defamation case. Nothing justifies violence.

@ARanganathan72 You may as well stick your middle finger up at the poor and the middle class.

For a better Delhi, a Delhi built on free enterprise not freebies, progress not pollution, a Delhi that India can be proud of.

@DalrympleWill Given your service to grounding the Indian subcontinent's contemporary history and bridging painful cultural chasms, makes total sense. Bravo!

🌿 What a powerful session on Nature-Based Solutions! 🌍 Today, we explored how the Resilient Landscapes Luxembourg (RLL) initiative, launched with @environment_lu, is accelerating investments in sustainable landscapes for climate action. Here’s what stood out 🧵: (1/8)

"Science is a de-risker and the foundation of impactful projects. It enables us to understand and measure the effects these initiatives need to have." – @jane_feehan, European Investment Bank

"Bridging science and the private sector requires immense social capital. Relationships with communities are a cornerstone for success, and our scientists have proven themselves in the field. Mobilizing action starts with trust and understanding." - @nitin_sukh #COP29

One of the commonest and most corrosive human reflexes is to react to helplessness with anger. We do it in our personal lives and we do it in our political lives. Here is Leonard Cohen on the antidote to anger and the meaning of resistance: themarginalian.org/2024/07/18/leo…

A reminder that it is our modern industrial civilization’s accelerating demand for materials that drives fossil fuel consumption, ecocide & the West’s imperialist assaults on the Global South. In 6 recent years we've consumed nearly as much as we did in the entire 20th century.

@DalrympleWill Check out her 31st Oct interview on Democracy Now!

This woman is a complete hero, as courageous as she is persistent and persuasive. In years to come, when a free Palestinian state sits alongside Israel and Netanyahu sits in a cell in the Hague, she will no doubt be awarded the Nobel Prize she so deserves.

No, next question.

@jagritichandra Inherently implying that their economy class seats are so bad that being able to stretch in their planes is indeed, a privilege.

As we analyse the dresses and the opulence let’s not forget at the end of the day a #fossilfuel company rules the day even as we attempt to make a #justtransition #ambaniwedding #climatechange 🙄 hindustantimes.com/trending/nita-…

@RichaChadha Zombies don’t wake up dude

When will we wake up ?

@RichaChadha Because biodiversity loss and climate change is inconvenient for the limitless economic growth story.

Because most media is owned by technocrats and corporations.
