Or you were wrong all this time as you were wrong on almost everything? Maybe some introspection is in order. Just a thought.

Many of us, liberal Europeans, spent decades pushing back against the European extreme left's cartoon version of America ( it's all oil/ imperialism/getting rich at the expense of others) and then one dumb administration walks in and performs the caricature to perfection.

Opened this account of mine after a LONG time. The trigger has been the #EpsteinFiles. The oft-repeated case of Russian women being deployed by the criminals only points to the malfeasance of those neoliberal economists whose "shock therapy" policies destroyed Russia.

Many Indians forgot this heinous terrorist attack, as always happens with passing time, but Canada has made them remember it with new vitality. 👇 The problem with India is that it has a tendency to become a clown in front of the whole world w/ its assassination techniques.
Dr. S. Jaishankar@DrSJaishankar

Today marks the 39th anniversary of one of the worst acts of terrorism in history. Pay my homage to the memory of the 329 victims of AI 182 ‘Kanishka’ who were killed this day in 1985. My thoughts are with their families. The anniversary is a reminder why terrorism should never be tolerated.

'In June, when the jewel climbs up highest in the year into the heavens, brightest of stars... At that time the fairest of lights likes to gaze longer upon the earth, to move more slowly across the meadows.' Anglo-Saxon writers on the summer solstice: aclerkofoxford.blogspot.com/2014/06/se-len…

A bit late in wishing greetings on the occasion of #Bloomsday. I was extremely busy since morning but here I am now with one of Joyce's story from his book DUBLINERS, which I will be re-reading today. I like this story's meditation on Church the most, among other things. ❤️

Today I did something extraordinary that Covid prevented while I was writing my Joseph Roth biog: I held his personal papers at the Center for Jewish History in NYC. Here’s the handwritten first page of his greatest novel & his copy of the sheet music to Strauss’s Radetzky March.

Water war, a stuff of dystopian and sci-fi novels is a reality now. After Bengaluru, Delhi is in a dire water crisis and the political class won't do anything about it much like it doesn't do anything about Delhi's becoming a gas chamber in the winter.
ANI@ANI

Delhi water crisis | Supreme Court questions over tanker mafia and asks Delhi Govt if any measure or action has been taken against tanker mafia. Supreme Court remarks if you are not taking any action against the tanker mafia then we will ask Delhi Police to take action against them.
