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 trust you have more than enough on your plate without needing to involve yourself in my responsibilities as well"

A Marxist Critique of AI Art The debate over AI art’s ethics rages on, with artists voicing strong opposition. In this article I explore deeper questions that challenge its very legitimacy.

I wrote an article on AI Art, my two cents on the ongoing debate.

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.

One month of shifting to bangalore, it's been a good experience so far. I like the city!

Tough times ahead for Syrian people and the world, an Al-Qaeda and CIA backed coupe has toppled the Assad government, a vital part of the axis of resistance.

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.

There is so much wrong with founders to start with lol

He looks like he is done #catposting

Thank you so much for the recs, i will definitely check them out!

Oh is it so, a lot of folks here swear by Meghana. Let me know some better options, I am new to the city! 😅

5 days in Bangalore, it's been a good start - attended an art festival, went to Museum of Art and Photography (MAP), visited Cubbon Park, also has the local favorite Meghana's Biryani.

Thank you tojo!!

Thank you Ronita! 😄

28 already!!

Congrats, so happy for you!!

Getting used to the gloomy cold bangalore weather.

Wazwaan thali at Matamaal #pune, the Kashmiri restaurant, is delicious. Three of us shared this.

Mutton cooked to perfection. Flavourful gravies. Tabak maaz was a little disappointing, but seekh kebabs were ❤

I love Kashmiri food. All food, tbh.

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!

Couldn’t have put it better myself and would never try to… Amit gave words to everything I felt while watching the movie and yet there’s so much more that I don’t think anyone can put into words because this film deserves to be watched in theatres.. multiple times… please don’t miss it!

All We Imagine As Light (2024) All we imagined it, and more

Where I put down my thoughts on Payal Kapadia's All We Imagined As Light. It's hard to capture all of my thoughts about this masterpiece, but for what it's worth ...

The very notion that someone has to actually pay for getting a job, without getting anything in return for a substantial amount of time, and no guarantee of job security, is so exploitative.

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.

BJP Posts Fake AI Audio Clips of Sule, Patole, Alleges Poll Fraud | BOOM BOOM tested four audio clips posted by BJP's X account. At least three were found to be AI-generated voice clones.

#FakeNewsAlert 🚨 On the eve of Maharashtra voting, BJP shared AI-generated audio clips on X, falsely claiming them as real conversations involving NCP leader Supriya Sule, Congress leader Nana Patole and two others.

Crowe was a natural, where Mescal clearly has made an effort, but sometimes this effort just doesn't add up. He could have avoided flashy lines, and stuck to more dialogue.

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.

Upcoming week might be my last week in pune, an end of a 6 year stay in the city!

Yeah it's filled with incels and MRA folks. A lot of hate is blatant misogyny.

Especially for a big account like you, it's a relief.
