A grown ass man took a chainsaw to a 3rd grade class to kill girl students. This is the direct result of misogynistic, incel movies like Animal and Toxic that glorify male violence.
Horrific attack at Anantapur School: 21-year-old enters classroom with power chainsaw, one girl killed another Injured. the attack took place inside the classroom while a teacher was present and lessons were underway. Police launch a hunt to nab the accused. #AndhraPradesh

Weil's demise is a reminder that the "brand" of a law firm is nothing without its people (re: sama tweeting "openAI is nothing without its people") despite what law firms project. It also lifts the fog on the biggest issue with (at least Indian law firms) - talent retention.

I had read the Quint interview when it came out three weeks ago. There were things I agreed with (screenshots), and things I didn’t. Either way, I’d rather the man be free so we can debate these points openly than anonymous dog-whistles while he remains imprisoned within trial.
"Sharjeel's case is therefore interesting beyond Sharjeel himself. It raises a broader question about whether we are willing to engage with Muslims as political thinkers with diverse and sometimes uncomfortable ideas, rather than reducing them to predetermined categories. Intellectual disagreement is possible without ideological caricature. And perhaps that is precisely the space that needs to be reclaimed."

I think meta has got it all wrong - showing me ads for something I already have and will never need to buy again, suggesting people that I would never want to follow - like if you’re taking my info at least be useful 😭

Unfair @BookshopInc why you do this to me
The bookshop, JB tops my chart of favourite bookstores in the country - always pushing me towards a monetary liquidity crunch (but no complaints there)

Thanks for the many fuckups of the BJP - there is officially not a single Sanghi left in my family. From the youngest to oldest no one supports your antics @BJP4India All have jumped ships. But I hear not many people have the conscience to self reflect and I feel sorry for them.

Today I asked my dad whom are you most scared of and without flinching he said “You!” - that’s a man I’ve trained well, so proud of myself

Exactly! Called the Delhi Police few days ago because loud music was blasting near my house at 4 am - they came and said it’s because of religious procession so can’t do anything. Went on for 2 hours and couldn’t sleep. What nonsense @DelhiPolice
I will save this tweet @DCPSouthDelhi When DJ plays during Kanwar non stop all night and police hide & ignore it, we will remind you to be equally efficient in your duties. Thank you.

In my 26 years of existence I’m yet to meet a man as well read and smart as I am
you’ll think a man is smart until you start having conversations about politics, religion, social issues and women’s rights. ignorant af. surface level as hell

There’s hardly anything more mellifluous than the sound of the dhaak. Sounds just feel like home.
