Won't lie, I miss the Twitter of 2010s and the vibe it had.

"Penn asked the Police Department for immediate help to disband the Gaza Solidarity Encampment, a source familiar told The Daily Pennsylvanian.

However, PPD declined, asking that the University provide proof that the encampment — and the rally today, which is entering its fourth hour — presents an imminent danger." https://www.thedp.com/article/2024/05/philadelphia-police-declines-disband-encampment-after-penn-requests-help

Big big congratulations to Gukesh D on winning the Candidates tournament 2024. Considering Ding Liren's current form, Gukesh has a real chance of becoming the youngest world chess champion ever when he faces Ding next year.

Narendra Modi gives a highly inflammable, Islamophobic speech in the middle of national elections, in which he uses the words Muslims, infiltrators and Urban Naxals one after the other, as if they are synonyms. If these elections were truly fair, Election Commission of India would have taken swift action against Modi and his party.

We launched @thesatyashodhak on 17 April 2020. It has been four years since. We have published many critical pieces, interviews, translations and even fiction since then. I am very grateful to all the volunteers who have given their valuable time and the contributors who found the platform worth publishing on.

"Digital news portal National Dastak said on Monday that the Union government has asked the Google-owned platform to remove its channel." https://scroll.in/latest/1066417/centre-directs-youtube-to-take-down-national-dastak-from-its-platform

BTW National Dastak used the word Bahujan in their tweet to describe their platform; when translating it to English, Scroll changed it to Dalit. It doesn't make any sense.

Scroll's translation of the tweet.

I wish Alaska Daily had been renewed for second season. It was such a good show.

@h_tejas@newsie.social avatar

@seachanger Oh! I don't know the local nuances so I may have misread the politics of the show but I generally like news dramas and this one did a good job from that pov.

It's good to hear that Atlantic runs on subscription revenue and is also profitable now after crossing 1 million subscribers. Publications directly funded by readers are much more likely to be impartial and rigorous than other models.
