Noticed a trend on social media, posting pictures of the women army officers isn't the gotcha moment some of you all think it is. This is not feminist praxis, it's war mongering - plain and simple

I think white people are missing an important cultural aspect of why Desi tech bros are full of Hitler particles.
Almost all Indian immigrants in the US are upper castes with enough capital and social mobility to move there.
They'll do anything for white validation while looking down on them.

The world has somewhat woken up to the plight of cashew workers in India. Thanks to the veganism movement, alt milk supply has picked up and of course - a cheap ass country like India would pay 45-60 bucks a kilo (that’s like less than a dollar). Plus they have to suffer severe cashew burns.

I have always looked up to @asuph.bsky.social for his wisdom and his life outtakes. One of the things I will miss the most in pune, is spending time with him and @romaticize.bsky.social over a cup of coffee (or sometimes even gin)
Goodbyes are tough, I will miss them dearly!

A mixed day. Had a sendoff party for @kushal.bsky.social who's moving out of Pune (Bangalore you're lucky). I will miss him dearly. One of the few friends from Twitter who I was lucky to meet and spend time with offline. Sendoffs are bittersweet. I wish him luck.

It is no secret that government jobs are bought by upper class folks, but with Deepinder openly flaunting it for the first time in public, this will also start off in startups and mid tier companies.

BJP actively using AI for voice generation, sets a precedent for the first time that a political party has openly abused the technology for spreading fake propaganda.

Gladiator 2 - overall a 3.5/5 watch, the plot feels compressed and also pacy towards the end. They have tried following a very similar template to the first movie.
I don't know why they have tried to give Paul a lot of unnecessary punchlines.

Harper Collins making a “deal” with an unnamed major company to feed a popular book in to the AI maw for 2500 bucks flat. Author refuses. Illustrator—see replies—not even contacted. (No alt text but I just summarized all the crucial bits.)

To pander to her liberal scum audience, so that they feel good by reposting her story on their account, and say enough activism for a day.
