Hulk Hogan is batshit crazy. The wrestling legend pounded steroids, starred in sex tapes, and claimed Metallica tried to recruit him. From cocaine vending machines to banging his daughter’s best friend, this is his story...

Burberry burned $36,500,000 of clothes in one year. Not because they couldn't sell them. Because they didn't want YOU to have them. The disturbing truth about luxury's dirtiest secret🧵

You decide: am I a socialist to focus on the most important asset of any company - their own people and their well being? Take Nvidia and AMD. Ultimately they triumphed due to their engineers and crucially the engineers that stayed long term to work on deep tech. Their CEOs are from Taiwan. Now Taiwan itself has built incredible deep tech companies like TSMC, following a similar approach to talent - and Taiwan has about the same population as Sri Lanka. That is how real capital building works: take care of your employees, your most valuable asset and build long term successful companies. Intel took care of Wall Street instead, and they have lost comprehensively to TSMC, AMD and Nvidia. And now they have lost Wall Street as well. It is a perversion of the English language that we think of the late stage hedge fund and PE driven financialism as "capitalism". Capitalism needs capitalists - people who own and risk their own capital. What we have today in America is "we bet other people's money and if we win we keep a lot of the gains and if we lose we run to the Fed to bail us out and we cheer on the Fed to keep asset valuations high so we can cash out our financial instruments - never ever let the stock market down and whatever happens CEOs should be paid 500x average employee wages!" Does that sound like capitalism to you? That is the system the US has practised for decades now. Even more of it is going to drive the country to a civil war. Take the bailout of Silicon Valley bank last year. A lot of tech entrepreneurs cheered that on. They suddenly forgot "capitalism". Should India import this system? Refusing to do that is "socialism"? So please don't lecture me on "socialism". Practise some real capitalism first - take care of your people well. That is also our Dharma 🙏

India is still a socialist country whether you are running a Sapadu shop or SaaS. Capitalism is not tolerated even by those reaping capitalism benefits 😂

A company that has $1 billion cash, which is about 1.5 times its annual revenue, and is actually still growing at a decent 20% rate and making a cash profit, laying off 12-13% of its workforce should not expect any loyalty from its employees ever. And to add insult to injury, when it can afford $400 million in a stock buy back. I can understand the unfortunate reality of layoffs when a business is struggling or declining and making a loss. This is not that situation, this is naked greed, nothing less. Here is a critical question to its leadership: don't you have the vision and imagination to invest $400 million in another line of business where you can deploy those people you hired but you don't want anymore? Are there no such opportunities in tech? Are you so lacking in curiosity, vision and imagination? Are you so lacking in empathy? This behavior, sadly, has become all too common in the US corporate world and we are importing it in India. It has only resulted in large scale employee cynicism in the US and we are importing that too. This is why choose to remain private. We put our customers and employees first. Shareholders should come last.

While I am running a campaign of positive solutions to save America, Kamala Harris is running a campaign of hate. She has spent all week comparing her political opponents to the most evil mass murderers in history. Now, on top of everything, Joe Biden calls our supporters “garbage.” You can’t lead America if you don’t love the American People. Kamala Harris and Joe Biden have shown they are both unfit to be President of the United States. I am proud to lead the biggest, broadest, and most important political coalition in American history. We are welcoming historic numbers of Latinos, African Americans, Asian Americans, and citizens of every race, religion, color, and creed. It is my desire to be the President of all the people.

The Menswear Guy apparently has me blocked, along with a bunch of British and French conservatives. I take this as a high compliment, actually - he knows he can't open with his "YOU boys can't wear a suit!!!" in These Cases. Similar to how being Black but right-leaning takes away ~90% of the white liberal arsenal.

How will a country raise Breast Cancer Awareness is we can’t even call breasts what they are. Saw this at Delhi Metro and like what the hell? Check your oranges? Who makes these campaigns, who approves them? Are we governed by such dumb people that they let this poster become public? Shameful and embarrassing.

Quiet campaign using the right channels vs loud condescending haranguing. Certain well intentioned people must learn that there are other ways to achieve a goal

Resistance works! Extremely well done by the activists of CAPSULE (Campaign Against Pseudo Science Using Law and Ethics), an initiative of the Kerala Sasthra Sahitya Parishad (KSSP). Pseudoscience has no place in our society. Profiteering through it even more so. @theliverdoc was saying the same and they went after him through the courts

The MP BJP Govt changed the name of Habibganj Rly Stn in Bhopal to Rani Kamlapati RS, because they didn't like the "Muslim" name meaning "beautiful village". BTW, Rani Kamalapati was the 7th wife of Nawab Nizam Shah... 🤣 Vive l'idiotie... 😅
