I can't believe the candidate that explicitly mentioned cutting off aid to Egypt won in Michigan. SMDH, the anti-Egyptian problem in the Democratic party is growing unabated

You know, Brown American commentary on politics would greatly improve once Neera Tanden and Dinesh D'Souza just stfu...or atleast do some minimal reflection

My column: Mamdani’s Netanyahu Stunt Was a Waste of His Talent and Our Time www.nytimes.com/2026/07/28/o...

I'm shocked, shocked I tell you that the same voices that ignored or whitewashed what was happening in Balochistan are now ignoring what's happening in "Azad" Kashmir. Gotta love how many South Asians remain wedded to state or party narratives rather than principles.

"The Hindus who feel cheated by Hindutva need to be saved from the alluring politics of soft Hindutva as well as liberal Brahminism" an excellent piece by Sudipto Mondal on the student/CJP protests. Lots of great gems in here so read the full piece www.thenewsminute.com/news/the-hin...

The Hindu has awakened, now what?

The first folks that used the "Syria" test were primarily leftists who were already in the pro-Palestine movement and it was used to call out the hypocrisy of these pro-Assad leftists. Now its been coopted by folks who wouldn't even pass the Palestine Test

When I heard that the Odyssey did not include a single scene where Yanni plays the piano, I knew Nolan was ignoring Greek Culture

ICC: We are calling for the arrest of Putin, Joseph Kony, Duterte...like we did for figures like Qaddafi in the past. Punditry: Yes! International law must be upheld. ICC: Also the leaders of Hamas....and Israeli leadership like Netanyahu and..... Punditry:

Putting aside the fact that Tunku and Avi lack reading comprehension from Mahmood Mamdani's book....if Idi Amin tried to visit NYC now, the main concern is would have first is how tf did Idi Amin resurrect himself

My favorite thing about Yglesias RT Destiny (nightmare blunt rotation aside) on how the far right supports the far left....is that Destiny is the streamer who chills out with Nick Fuentes

I owe you an apology Mr. Worldwide and Cuba. I wasn't familiar with your game. I can't believe y'all structured the black power movement, BLM, Antifa, being anti-Genocide, and so much more that everybody from Malcolm X to Zohran Mamdani are actually controlled by Cuban agents

Looking at the horrific videos of the police beating student protesters in Delhi, I'm re-upping this song by Blaaze who made it clear that we need to "Ban the Police"

Useful thread by @mjbusta.bsky.social in the other place on why the Cuba report (besides its obvious bullshit) is so harmful

Yeah, co-sign, this is a pretty clear staging document for arresting, surveilling, or harassing a wide range domestic dissenters under laws designed for foreign terrorist organizations. Buckle up.

What connects the State Dept Cuba report, Trump’s “election interference” speech, the NSPM-7 domestic terrorism expansion, and the recent “Ministerial Summit on Political Violence” to the Iran War? In a word — fascism. “Be alarmed” isn’t enough. Get prepared. 1/11 www.state.gov/wp-content/u...

Good piece by @angelamuaythai.bsky.social on why Muay Thai (and other combat sports) can be therapeutic, but how often its used as a substitute for therapy muay-ying.com/muay-thai-is...

Muay Thai Is Not Therapy. And That’s Okay - Muay Ying มวยหญิง

Training feels therapeutic. But it’s not the same as therapy. Dan Ferrer and Angela Chang talk about the difference, the danger of using Muay Thai as a crutch, and what a healthier fight culture could...

Its dumb how happy Project Hail Mary made me

To show my support for Spain against Argentina, I too will start including a dumb lisp whenever I speak in all languages

The general rule for understanding why protests/criticism of state policy or society is treated with such scorn in South Asia? Because: The god is state, the state is God, the ruler of state is the messenger of God, all criticism or protests are heretical

Sometimes you look at the hate that MAGA folks have for any progressives and go "JFC"....then you look at the hatred that Neera Tanden has for progressives and it makes the former almost look sane

There is Indian socialist now appearing on podcasts, while I do respect some of her positions...its amazing that after spending the last few years going "fuck you" to every other socialist party, including some of her own fans...now she's asking why she gets no attention

Its kind of telling how many people in the combat sports world showed way more outrage based on false info that Imane Khelif was actually trans....than they ever have for Conor being a racist, rapist, and generally terrible human being

"Whatever geostrategic calculations may have been factored in by the Modi government, our diplomatic stance reveals our own infatuation with the idea of violence against the dissenter, the rebel, and the protestor at home." m.thewire.in/article/comm...

I will say watching Tunku have complete derangement regarding Mamdani and anyone who has morals regarding human rights, equality, and justice, is kind of funny.

I've been on a bit of a video essay binge this week. Some really good video essays I enjoyed: a deep dive into the Telangana rebellion by @rohandavis.bsky.social. Especially worthwhile as contemporary commentators reduce it to just "Hindus vs Muslims" www.youtube.com/watch?v=WlA4...

Understanding India's Largest Rebellion

Bollywood always had its issues, but atleast 10 years ago the films gave us dreamy romances, aspire to overcome divisions at home + abroad, and strive for a better country. Now it's just masturabatory nationalism with a heavy handed dose of "enjoy causing pain to Kashmiris, Muslims, and Pakistanis"

Okay dokey

The same crowd who keeps going "omg why does everybody overly focus on Palestine and Israel" really can't understand why Greta would show solidarity to another group of people facing oppression
