I do stuff which mostly are someone's shot of country liquor! ഒരു സ്‌പേസിൽ കേറിയെപ്പിന്നെ ഞാൻ തുമ്പി എന്നാണ് വിളിക്കപ്പെടുന്നത്.

I am not surprised. I am angry. This is exactly what happened in Hitler's Germany. Fascism is unfolding before our eyes. The Anand Niketan School in Ahmedabad, Gujarat was fined ₹10,000 by authorities for keeping books like Anne Frank’s The Diary of a Young Girl and Malala Yousafzai’s I Am Malala in its library. These books were "optional". They also terminated the services of a curriculum consultant. Ahmedabad citizens decided to read books in public to protest against this action. BJP/RSS goons attacked in large numbers. The police has refused to register an FIR.

It’s been 6 years, everyone has seen the video of Kapil Mishra trying to instigate violence standing next to DCP. In Feb 2020, Justice Murlidhar of Delhi High Court pulled up Delhi police and Central Govt for not registering the FIR against Kapil Mishra. That very day at 11 PM in night, the law Dept of Central Govt issued the notification to transfer justice Murlidhar. And till today , even an FIR has not been filed. This is new India.

Insane framing. He was anally gang-raped. He was severely beaten and then anally gang-raped on camera. Both a knife and a taser were reportedly used. There was a hole in his rectal wall. He got surgery for it. Because he was anally gang-raped by the IDF (on camera). He also had 7 broken ribs and other injuries as well. After it happened, Israelis staged multiple large protests in the streets. Not because they believe these soldiers did anything wrong, but because they were infuriated that the soldiers were arrested for anally gang-raping a Palestinian on camera. These protests weren’t just random people. They included multiple high ranking Knesset members (their Congress) who defended the anal gang/rapists. They didn’t stop there. They went after the lawyer who leaked the video. She was publicly smeared, was forced to resign, and was arrested. And now the anal gang-rapists who were caught on camera have had their charges dropped. They didn’t win in court. They weren’t somehow exonerated. The charges were completely and indefensibly dropped. The Jerusalem Post reports that there was sufficient evidence to take this to trial. This is part of a larger pattern of torture and impunity. NYT and many other major outlets have extensively detailed the abuses at the Sde Teiman torture factory. NYT reported that Prisoners lose 30+ pounds, a nurse was anally raped by a metal rod, another man was raped by a dog, and another was anally raped by a fiery hit rod until he died. Yes, the NYT reported all of that. I’ll share sources in the replies. Torture and sexual assault are commonplace at Sde Teiman, and many prisoners die in the process. The UN concluded that rape from IDF soldiers is so commonplace that it constitutes official “strategy of war”. And of course these monsters virtually never face jail time. Because Israelis by and large don’t have any problem with any of it. This is just what their society does. They torture Palestinians.

😂 Oh look — the final mask just hit the floor with a splash! French water giant Veolia quietly bags the contract to supply 60% of Mumbai’s drinking water by 2030 (3,000 million litres a day). At the exact same time, Mukesh Ambani — fresh from his 2025 blockbuster entry into the ₹30,000-crore packaged water market — rolls out his shiny new “Independence” and “Campa Sure” brands, with Amitabh Bachchan as brand ambassador and prices slashed to ₹5 for 250 ml and ₹15 a litre. Ambani didn’t just “step in”. He charged in like he did with Jio — undercutting everyone, partnering with regional bottlers, and positioning himself as the saviour who’ll “democratise safe drinking water”. “Independence” water. From whom? The poor who used to fill buckets for free at the municipal tap? The one thing a starving man can still drink to stay alive is now fully commodified — first by a French multinational taking over the taps, then by India’s richest man ready to sell you the replacement in plastic bottles when those taps inevitably run dry or become unaffordable. Water mafia didn’t sneak in. It was invited with red carpets, Fortune covers, and celebrity endorsements. Next stop: ₹50 for 500 ml while the Dalit basti queue stretches for kilometres and Ambani’s market share hits 30%. This isn’t development. This is the last basic necessity being auctioned off while we clap for “affordable” branded water. Wake up, India ‼️ Before the only thing poorer than your stomach is your tap — and the only one smiling is the man who owns both the problem and the “solution”. #WaterMafia #MukeshAmbani #AmbaniWaterEmpire #PrivatisationDisaster #MasksFalling #Mumbai2030

“All hamas have to do is release the hostages and the massacres would end” said the people who knew nothing. This was always about making Gaza unliveable and stealing it. Not Hamas. Not hostages. Not defence. Blatant war crimes to ethnically cleanse.

How many people said, “All Hamas have to do to make this end is release the hostages”?
Israeli National Security Minister Ben-Gvir: ​Now that we have received the hostages, we must return to war and open the gates of hell upon Gaza.

Shocking !! The personal data of NEET PG students including their application IDs, email IDs, contact numbers, and roll numbers is being sold online. What a horrifying breach of trust! Shame on NMC, shame on the IT company involved. This is an absolute betrayal of students’ privacy and hardwork and yet, NMC dares to call itself a transparent exam conducting body.

Study this video carefully. He is very openly broadcasting all of their next moves. 1. TikTok belongs to them now. Expect mass censorship/algo rigging there. 2. Your favorite influencer is already owned by them, expect them to start shilling hard for them. They will attempt to buy more influencers, many will take the deal. Those who don’t will be made an example of. 3. They are coming for X and Elon next. They claim he is a “friend” and will do what they want. Thus, you can expect censorship to return here unless Elon is ready to cross the rubicon with these demons.
NEW - Netanyahu mission-briefed American influencers today, stating TikTok is the "most important" weapon in securing Israel's right-wing support: "Weapons change over time... the most important ones are the social media," he said. "The most important purchase that is going on right now is TikTok... I hope it goes through because it can be consequential." Netanyahu also noted X is crucial, emphasizing Elon Musk is "not an enemy, he's a friend. We should talk to him."

This isn’t graffiti, it’s performance art and banksy hoodwinked the state into being a participant.

After an IDF sniper from Chicago kills an unarmed civilian in Gaza, he then snipes and kills his unarmed younger brother trying to retrieve his brother's body. US-funded serial killer from Chicago says: "I mean, what was so important about that corpse?"

This is Justice Shalinder Kaur and Justice Navin Chawla. They came, they saw and she pronounced “All the appeals are dismissed”. The fate of Umar and others who had been imprisoned for nearly 5 years with no due process was decided in 2 minutes by her and Justice Navin Chawla.

we are no longer in contact, so i rly don’t care to say this but when i was in thailand this year, i was invited to someone’s home. there was a housekeeper there doing her job, let’s call her bim, and with her was her 12 year old daughter, sitting in the yard doing schoolwork. host asked bim to cut a platter of fruit for me, and she said of course. but because she took a minute too long, as she was already busy with a task, host told bim to ask her daughter, who was still doing her maths homework to do the platter instead. i said to bim, “there’s no rush for fruit, it’s okay, i can see the little sister is doing schoolwork.” host replied in english, not in thai that “it’s better to train her while she’s young” as if this young girl’s future had already been written for her, not in dreams or choices, but in servitude to someone richer who never saw her or her mum as anything more than cheap exploitable labour. i was outwardly disturbed by this comment and i think my blunt swiss nature took over cos I said “is cruelty your idea of humour?” no reaction, he didn’t even look offended at my comment, he just moved on like it was nothing. the problem with rich people in countries with extreme wealth inequality is that they’ve normalised sociopathy as a personality trait.
There’s a particular type of insufferability that rich people from poor countries have that I don’t yet fully know how to verbalize

My true and honest reaction to this garbage
“The cult of personality Anthony Bourdain left in his wake is frankly insufferable,” says The FP’s @SnoozyWeiss. “He broke how a generation of men eat.”
