Anyway. Sab Kuch Yaad Rakha Jayega.

Continue the work of radical unforgiveness by never forgiving and never forgetting. Onward.

No but seriously why are the results taking so long? Is the BJP sending software bros to manually diddle each EVM in last minute attempts?

The loss I am personally most happy about?

Smriti fucking Irani.

That ghoul was responsible for Rohith Vemula's institutional murder and I will never ever ever forgive her.

I hope she rots in jail.

For the last few months I have been saying to all my fellow dispairing friends, you can't say its lost till its lost. We have to always believe in a chance.
HAH. TAKE THAT.

Look, it's not like I support corruption. But if ever there was a time for the Congress to put their Bofors honed talent to work, it is now.
Fucking buy out all those MPs and make them think they are rats on a sinking ship.
We are so close to drowning Narendra Modi. Just sink him for good.

Over on bluesky someone linked to this post about how it was useless to set up a single-user mastodon instance:

The latest version of white saviorism is particularly ghoulish - the worse the atrocities happening in Palestine, the more confidant these liberals feel about making anodyne 'boost fundraisers' and 'let food through' posts.
Any person who cannot denounce the state of Israel is abetting genocide.

It's not new - liberal Zionists have been two-sidesing their mutual peace bullshit for decades - but it is imperitive to not let them move the Overton window of acceptable solidarity towards quiet colonialism instead of active genocide. Solidarity starts with demanding dismantling the coloniser.

(I say this as someone who has seen the uselessness of Indian leftists who denounce atrocities in Kashmir and the North-East without denouncing the Indian colonial regime. Supporting azaadi is the start of solidarity, not the end of it.)

(This post was triggered by seeing a white Jewish author who has made their liberal Zionism very clear in the past being excused because he said something in support of other Jewish people trying to give aid to Palestinians. This author has not talked about a single Palestinian author, ever.)

What I really miss about twitter is being able to @ a brand and blast them after all other options of customer support have failed. Not because it achieved anything, just. You know. To vent spleen

@adnan oh mine is alive and I still regularly use it to catch up on all the India and Africa news I don't get anywhere else. But it feels wrong to not reply to friends going through stuff and then show up just to tell a company they suck

Kindle? Kobo? Apple Books?

What’s the best, or maybe most ethical, ebook platform?

(I rarely reread books, so long-term ownership isn’t a factor for me)

No. That doctrine is brahminical apologia attempting to construct an ahistorical supposedly meritorious past where coincidentally brahmins deserved their power.

I just want you all to know that on the first night I sat down to a dinner of rock hard chola because I forgot that I had soaked but not cooked them when I made the tari.

On the second night I pressure cooked and they were still chewy.

Tonight, the third night, I finally have cholas that squish.

The way my jaw dropped when I went abroad and saw a mother feeding her child 'chickpeas' straight out of a can with some salt.

a) whut. flavour? whut.
b) whaddya mean you don't have to cook it for three whistles on high and 5 on low and soak before for the time it takes the dinosaurs to get extinct.

I have an opinion essay on the intentional sabotage of independent research by Big Tech. Unfortunately, I can’t find any publication in India willing to pick it up. They all want a “local angle” when we are increasingly aware that this is a universal experience

ok WOW, I thought someone was making a dark joke when they posted that the NYT had won a pulitzer this year for international reporting. Then I went and looked at they actually WERE awarded. "For wide-ranging and revelatory coverage of Hamas’ lethal attackon October 7"
What obscene horror this is.

@mehluv I hate them so much. I hate everyone so much right now. I'm trying to not let the news out of Rafah overwhelm me because that helps no one, but I genuinely do not understand how anyone can still remain friends with people who support this.

A Muslim friend who has been living in the house she owns and voting from there for several years, found out that her name is not on the voter list. Nothing to do about it now.

Just got the tea from someone who has left an organisation I'm involved with, and, gotta say, I am feeling pretty damn smug that the read I had on people after a couple of hours of interacting with them was actually bang on. That dude I wrote off as a jackass? Yep. AND his wife is divorcing him lolz

The Telangana police filed a closure report in court claiming that Rohith Vemula was not a Dalit and killed himself out of fear of discovery. This is such an obscene lie that it deserves international attention.

AmbaAzaad,

Media attention, particularly by the News Minute which broke the story, has forced the Telangana police to state that they will 'reinvestigate the case'. Both the students union and Rohith's family has protested the brazen police lies.
