Cannot believe it needs to be said, but the role of journalism *is* to ask questions. Not to quietly applaud the powers-to-be, nor to stay silent. – at Dubai, United Arab Emirates

Presenting a working directory of restaurants / kitchens / home chefs + bakers that are still operating, via delivery or pick up. Also a great way to support local restaurants. bit.ly/2J6YmJV #ScoupedUp

Yes. This is a violation of @TRAI differential pricing rules, which we all fought for. Remember what @timberners_lee says: all of the internet, for all of the people, all of the time.
Indian Govt is making its own "Freebasics" for Kashmir. This "whitelisted sites" is a #NetNeutrality violation.
+This is is not restoration. Still it is for postpaid & kiosks alone. Broadband access is not available to individual households.

1/ There are lots of good and vital ethical, moral, and political arguments against the fundamental injustice of the #CAA. This thread lists other arguments and forms of resistance that focus on procedural and institutional challenges.

#Tumbbad is a revelation. Some of the finest images I’ve ever seen in Indian cinema. Riveting, original and dark! What a film!

I've been struggling to pitch and find a published home for my non-fiction long-form comics. Who'd be interested in illustrated deep-dives on Chinese contemporary culture?

The new issue of @magpiekingdom contains the best breakdown of how censorship of culture works in China: it's not an on/off switch, but more like dials that are turned up and down with the political climate. nitter.gq/magpiekingdom/status/9…

Exhibit A is the first comic I ever drew: January 22, 2009. Exhibit B is the newest, January 22, 2018. Practice, and only practice, got me from A to B. Don't believe for a second that 'talent' is a pre-requisite (I clearly had none in '09). That comes with time.
