Its now a common refrain in Indian politics that BJP has no qualms inducting leaders from parties that they have accused of misgovernance and corruption before. But are turncoats really a post-2014 phenomenon? I and Abhishek Jha attempt to answer to this question with the limited data we have available.

14 out of 28 constituencies in Karnataka will vote in the second phase of Lok Sabha elections on Friday. Past records show that the BJP has had an edge in LS elections over Assembly elections in the last 3 election cycles in the state. For Congress, the trend has been the opposite. Which way could Karnataka vote in 2024? Here are 3 charts which answer this question.

Since @skiffprivacy has been sold to Notion and they are shutting down their operations by August, anyone know any good alternatives for Skiff Pages that is privacy-focused and has a good web UI?

@Jayjo I am looking for an alternative for Skiff Pages, which was their notes/doc app. It was what I used to use for drafting the text of my stories.

@PictoPulse356 @protonprivacy I use Proton for my personal mail too. But they don't have a Notes/docs alternative for Skiff Pages.

@PictoPulse356 @protonprivacy Standard Notes is good for quick note taking. But never found its good for drafting longer texts like my data stories. @privacyguides reccomends cryptee and Notesnook, will give them both a try.

As NATO marked its 75th anniversary, it is drawing up plans to 'Trump-proof' its aid for Ukraine. This also comes a month after it added Sweden to its roster. Today's Number Theory looks at the impact of NATO’s enlargement in Europe, and the alliance’s dependence on the US, which makes it wary of a possible American pull-out in the case of a second Donald Trump’s presidency.

The Supreme Court on Monday directed SBI to fully disclose all the information it has on electoral bonds purchased since April 12 2019, including the unique serial number associated with each on March 21. Until then, here is a graphical overview of everything we know, we don't know, and we won't know about electoral bonds even after Thursday.

Indians are highly satisfied with their democracy, and at the same time show great support for rule by an autocratic 'strong leader'. On one hand they show high approval for a direct democracy, on the other they support rule by technocrats. Here's a look at India's political complexity using 3 scatter plot charts based on Pew's latest survey.
