Everybody is laughing at the American green bananas guy and I am cry-laughing at all of you who’ve (I guess) never eaten a Nanjangud banana. After that every other banana tastes like cardboard

I’d recommend everyone watch this - it’s rather cheering to watch our media discover that an incompetent crank runs our national equality regulator

We were sent over a broken bridge in some random village that we weren’t sure the car could take in order to avoid 20 min of traffic in Kanchipuram for an 8 hour drive…

The Mohammeds, Khans, Patels, Singhs, Adebayos and Babatundes didn’t go looking for Britain….Britain went looking for them, imposed its language and, in many places, its religion, while extracting wealth and resources from their countries. History has consequences.

I don't think people are ready for this kind of joke yet.

This whole renewed discussion about lockdowns reminds me that I was so puzzled back in India when the UK decided to have very light lockdowns / keep schools open because children were at relatively lower risk…weren’t the children going home to families ? With older relatives?

“Neighbours tell me that people are still coming to our house in black vehicles. The UP Police are also still visiting our house. My daughter and I have shifted to another location. She studies in Class 10, and I used to teach students. I don’t know what our future holds now.”

Yup. I've said before how there is no such thing as an "AI detector." All they do is check if a writing sample is similar to AI source training material, or AI human evaluators. Source material is from "authors, writers, and professors" Human eval is "Africans that speak English better than you"🤷🏿‍♂️

We really need more acceptance of therapy (and more culturally sensitive therapy) for people above ~50 in India.
