So true. I've shifted to a village already and possibly living this life :P

Time for World to divest off this America. Economically sanctioning America and American companies would help the bully understand they can't bully forever.

Reminder: Amazon Blackout—starting tomorrow.

Amazon ❌, Whole Foods ❌ off the to-do list!

Trump is a bully, and the World would need to isolate this bully. Giving the bully what they want, doesn't stop bullying. It only increases it.

India's reciprocal tariffs to Trump's reciprocal tariffs should begin by banning Meta products, Uber, Amazon, Flipkart, etc. Such companies can easily be replaced by home grown companies and carry significant power.

Americans Are Actually in a Position to Make Elon Musk Feel Our Rage His car company is in a precarious spot.

Fully agreed. Time to boycott Tesla. There are better options in the market, to make this easy peasy.

This is Oligarchy. The three richest men in the world have become $196 BILLION richer since Donald Trump was elected.

$196 billion for three men in 99 days.

Meanwhile, 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.

hahaha :D

🚨 Google Maps erased history to appease a wannabe dictator.

The ‘Gulf of America’ is just the latest example of tech companies aiding and abetting authoritarianism while pretending to be neutral.

Never say never! :)

Zuck gets zuckier.

Top crap I read recently: Mark Zuckerberg's declaration about Facebook needing more 'masculine energy.' Truly, the internet is undefeated.🤦‍♂️

Like, seriously? Tech bros going berserk right now.

LA fires has nothing to do with climate change. Right. And the Earth is flat. We can sleep well knowing this, and keep doing what we were doing, until we can't.

In some other real world, Musk, says it is because of DEI efforts by the state. Wow.

I just wish I could stop using Whatsapp like I stopped using twitter (and deleted the account). Too much dependence on WA right now. FB is as evil, as evil can be.

Bsky shouldn't become them. Cheers.

“If Bluesky can market itself as a sort of last bastion against ad bots, AI crap, and algorithms, it’ll be in a very strong position. It’s likely only a matter of time before one of higher-up tech gurus decides to break the dam so all that sewage can flow in.”

Indian youth is going bonkers with super-fast deliveries. We are not only hurting our delivery workers, but our own health and habits. This is a big trap, and sooner we come out of it, the better.

Young Bihari women are India's brave new coders. Bengaluru is their dream As the women work on their coding tasks at the residential school, the trainer plays music from her phone to keep the atmosphere lively. Only English pop—to help them learn the language.

NavGurukul has been lucky to work with these young women from Bihar. They’re breaking barriers, learning to code, and dreaming of brighter futures. Their stories reflect the heart of what we do at NavGurukul: creating access to opportunities where none existed before.

When reality is stranger than fiction. I still can't believe this, even after verifying from multiple news sources.

There has been discussion about celebrating the death of United Healthcare CEO. While I have mixed feelings, some individuals cause such harm that their deaths feel like a celebration, similar to reactions to Hitler's death or Assad's rumored demise. Not all deaths evoke sadness; some unite people.

Interestingly, apparently the killer left a message.

Casings were apparently inscribed with words including “delay” & “deny,” officials said — possible references to ways that health insurance companies seek to avoid paying patients’ claims.

Unfortunately, it's true. The staggering number of firearms in the USA & ease of obtaining them are alarming. Such incidents can strike anywhere—schools or even billionaires. The former rarely shakes lobbying groups as much as the latter. Hopefully, sense prevails, leading to meaningful regulations.

This is becoming quite common in India. Especially because the cost of living is pretty low if you optimize for it. I know of so many people of all age groups, leaving traditional careers to join careers that suite them better or even starting their initiatives in health or just retiring :)

When I visited US/Canada, and came back to India, it was striking to see how little we see of disabled people around us. They aren't on roads, they aren't in offices, they are practically hidden from the normal discourse. There's a long long way for India to even start properly on this path.

We indeed are perhaps at the cusp of a major shift in the world..
