Happy Republic Day, India
#RepublicDay #RepublicDayIndia
I'm going to share pics from last 2 months which are saved on my phone to show how #farmers have been protesting peacefully + sleeping in the cold, on roads since months.
Some reminders needed.

We all need to learn how to lie from Election Commission of India
#BREAKING on Bar & Bench
Election Commission of India files counter affidavit in Supreme Court on plea against CEC's functioning; says petition built entirely on a single news report
What ECI says:
🔹 Affidavit approved unanimously by all three members: the CEC and both Election Commissioners
🔹 All three SIR orders (June 2025, October 2025, May 2026) were unanimous decisions of the Commission
🔹 Notes, queries or suggestions by the CEC or ECs while a file moves are not decisions of the Commission
🔹 Files go to one EC, then the other EC, then the CEC. In urgent cases, approval is taken electronically and recorded on file later
🔹 Any officer issuing orders beyond delegated powers will face action
🔹 July 28 work allocation order was issued by an Additional Secretary on deputation. Both ECs wrote to the Cabinet Secretary the next day. The order was never implemented after the ECs' joint direction of July 30
🔹 Form 6 has not been amended. Only the Centre can amend it. The SIR declaration is a separate document
🔹 Admits the online display could be read as an amendment. From October 21, the online application will be split into Form 6 and the declaration, as in the physical form
🔹 Unmapped voters need not attend hearings. BLOs will collect documents from their homes. Hearings only in exceptional cases, preferably online
🔹 ECINet: no name is added or deleted except by order of the ERO. A committee with experts from IIT and IISc has been set up to check compliance
🔹 Goa: of 97 "left out" voters, 88 had already been enrolled, 6 were abroad and 3 held Portuguese passports
🔹 West Bengal appeals against inclusion of voters were filed by officers of the CEO, West Bengal, under Supreme Court orders. "These matters were not brought to the Commission"
🔹 Plea to restrain the CEC is not maintainable. CEC can be removed only like a Supreme Court judge
🔹 Commission never released or authorised the release of any internal note or file to the media
🔹 Repeated challenges to EVMs already rejected by the Supreme Court
🔹 Short reply filed due to Dussehra vacation. ECI seeks liberty to file a detailed para-wise response

Alright, now this is getting quite concerning…😳😳😳
This is global coordination.
#BREAKING: Japanese Minister Hosono issues emergency request urging citizens to stockpile food and water.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Hosono announced he will issue the "emergency request" on Nov. 2 with the new Disaster Prevention Agency launch. It urges standard stockpiles of 3+ days food/water/toilets for known quake risks like Nankai Trough, not any imminent threat.

Adani is suing me for ₹50 crore, apparently valuing the damage to his reputation at that amount.
I contend that wealth acquired through alleged wrongdoing does not confer credibility or reputation.
My valuation of that reputation? ₹0.
And if the reputational damage is zero, the compensation should be zero.
₹50 crore demanded. ₹0 deserved.

A 40-year-old farmer in Nanded took a loan of Rs 10,000 which he couldn't pay back. For that, he was allegedly kidnapped by a private lender's employees. Held captive for two days. Then found dead in the lender's office.

Something similar happened on April 12 in Hungary. Riot police was mobilised, then something happened and Orban conceded just as soon and smoothly as now Vucic. One day we will find out what/who has been beyond all this.
Before conceding, Vučić deployed police and gendarmerie around key state buildings, switched off the lights, and allowed Ćacilend to reappear. Then, two hours later, he conceded.
So, what happened in Belgrade between 7 and 9 p.m. on 25 October? New post:

According to the book, Kushner got Tillerson fired for a $50 million UAE payment because Tillerson supported Qatar. This panicked Qatar because they realized Kushner was a pay-to-play operative, so they bought Kushner's New York City apartments, which were in the red, hoping this would help.

I don’t think most people know the number of people, amount of planning, and debate that goes into headlines like this.
They’re considering impact on markets, public sentiment, and a thousand other variables.
That is not a normal headline.

Sounds lot like a planned digital pandemic to force us into CBDC.
Either that - or these countries are terrified that Israel will launch some cyber attack.

It’s actually insane to say in your IPO filing that if the law applies to you all of your prospective shareholders will suffer.
The most important risk factor for Anthropic is the rule of law actually being applied.
"Any determination that we are liable under such theories, or any judicial or regulatory expansion of tort, product liability, or consumer protection law, or criminal liability, as applied to AI models, could result in significant liability and require us to change how we design and offer our models, platform, and applications."

A weak rupee may no longer serve India's export ambitions in a world where countries want to import less. Instead, it is penalising those who can bring in capital quickly: foreign portfolio investors.
Ajit Dayal, Founder of Quantum Advisors Private Limited, explains why India needs to rethink its currency strategy, in a conversation with @govindethiraj.

It’s unclear yet if all of these diplomatic efforts from Saudi Arabia Turkey Pakistan and Egypt alongside mediation from Qatar and Oman will stop the march to another round of war, but we should make no mistake— no Gulf or Arab country is championing another round of kinetic military activity or hoping that this one will get the job done.

Rubio is clear in saying there is no room for the Venezuelan opposition, and he is basically on the same page as the State Department, warning that elections are not a priority while still talking about democracy.
Rubio uses the argument that political prisoners are being released, but why has this process taken almost a year if the president is clearly his ally? It doesn’t make any sense.
The fact is that Delcy is giving Rubio and Trump everything they want, so there is no need whatsoever to rock the boat with elections, much less with the presence of María Corina.
The conditions allowing for the safe return of Ms. Machado to Venezuela is the direct result of the U.S. supported reconciliation talks which has already seen hundreds of political prisoners freed and hundreds of political opposition figures return from exile.
The United States expects the freedoms of all sectors of Venezuelan politics to continue to be respected. Likewise, we expect all political actors to support these talks which represent the best chance Venezuela has had in thirty years to peacefully achieve not just a free and fair election but an enduring democracy.

Just to put things in perspective for those looking at the Israeli election as a opportunity for change: The "alternative" to Netanyahu is a military general most famous for establishing a doctrine of warfare that calls for mass destruction of civilian infrastructure.
