I’ve had to patch my North Face backpack a bunch of times after a few international trips. My partner’s Osprey has needed one patch in that same decade and he uses it daily for groceries.

Norah should watch her OWN TV and not use a British woman from a British show as an avi.

You are a ridiculous person and have a British woman as your avi.

She never lived to see this moment, but it’s worth remembering that none of this would have happened without Virginia Giuffre.

She had the courage to speak out against power and privilege when it was just her word against Andrew’s.

Thanks to her, justice & accountability may finally have its day.

I should have said the best bite sized potato delivery system because if you made me choose between samosas and pani puri my head would burst.

I also introduced her to pani puri. The best potato delivery system.

Andrew's abuse of office was not limited to whatever information he passed to Jeffrey Epstein. Do a little Googling on his history as an arms trader.

Gandhi, of manual spinning wheel fame, would absolutely reject the premise here. As for AI benefiting the marginalized, that’s just like saying that the real aim of big tech in the education realm is to “enhance student learning”, as if they actually care about students not profit profit profit.

Tech billionaires fly in for Delhi AI expo as Modi jostles to lead in south Google, Anthropic and OpenAI bosses to mingle with global south leaders wrestling for control over technology

“Summit observers talk of…an alternative “techno-Gandhism”, in which AI is used…to benefit marginalised people.”

Techno-Gandhism? Of all the boosterish tags, this has to be one of the worst & most dishonest. Given who’s running this, & who’s attending, how about fascist techno-Savarakarism?
