People keep complaining about @IndiGo6E ground handling so here’s my experience today at Khajuraho airport. Three check in counters open & manned but two refuse to accept passengers. Every one is directed to one counter manned by a trainee. As I am checking in I ask the counter supervisor why the other counters won’t accept passengers. “They are only for fast forward.” Me: I thought there was no fast forward any longer! “It’s not on the site but we do have it” Me: What do you get in fast forward? “You get priority baggage handling and priority boarding.” Me: If I had known I would have taken it. “You can still take it.” I hand over my credit card. He swipes it. As the luggage is being tagged I notice there is. no Fast Forward tag and ask about it. “ We stopped doing priority baggage handling for Fast Forward. It only gives you priority check in. “ But I had already checked in. I wouldn’t have taken it if you hadn’t told me about priority baggage handling . “I never said priority baggage handling.” Yes you did . I heard you. “Okay at least you can board any time you like.” I ask for the manager. The supervisor insists he never said anything about baggage handling. Manager: “I will not accept that my staff are lying.” But you think I am lying? He shrugs. The sum of money is small & the issue is minor. But given how much we have heard about the culture of lying in @indigo , firing one gora scapegoat may not be enough. The rot has infected the culture

BREAKING: Delve, a compliance startup founded by two Forbes 30 Under 30 alumni that raised $32 million, has been accused of fabricating audit reports for hundreds of clients. A Substack investigation found the company generates auditor conclusions before any evidence is reviewed, and relies on Indian certification mills instead of the “US-based CPA firms” it advertises.

ये वो वीडियो है जिसे शेयर करने पर लोगों के अकाउंट ब्लॉक कर दिए जा रहे हैं। वैसे कांटेंट बनाओ तो ऐसा कि सरकार के तन-बदन में आग लग जाए 😄😄

The UK is considering an American style global tax regime. If you move to zero tax havens like Dubai, you will still be forced to pay British income tax for the privilege of holding a UK passport and getting embassy protection. The tax loopholes might finally close.

Imagine a newspaper publisher refusing to let libraries keep copies of its paper. That’s effectively what’s starting online, as big publishers block the Internet Archive from preserving news sites. eff.org/deeplinks/2026…

A detailed and brutal look at the tactics of buzzy AI compliance startup Delve "Delve built a machine designed to make clients complicit without their knowledge, to manufacture plausible deniability while producing exactly the opposite." substack.com/home/post/p-19…

Has anyone actually donated to Wikipedia? Because they’ve been “about to shut down” every year for the last 5 years 😭

In 1995, over half a million Tamil men, women and children were displaced by a Sri Lankan military offensive on Jaffna. That was some 2/3 of the entire Jaffna population - more by some estimates. We do not need to imagine anything. tamilguardian.com/content/rememb…

ONE million people, or 20% of the Lebanese population, kicked out of their homes by Israel. Imagine if someone kicked 4m people out of their homes in Sri Lanka.

This story is genuinely outrageous. An 80 year old woman, driving three times the speed limit, struck and killed a family of four. The judge in the case doesn't even want her to lose her license.
