In her interview with Amy, Ravi explains that her #arrest is just one example in a country that’s effectively #criminalizingDissent. Indian officials have raided #nonprofits that oppose the country’s #coalmines, blocked #environmental websites, and criminally charged #journalists covering the 2021 farmer #protests.

What you won't hear at India's G20

As they arrive in New Delhi, world leaders will be talking a big game on climate. They won't be talking about their crackdowns on climate protesters.

@notthatready I was wondering which app you find best for navigation. I found that I liked the routes by City Mapper better than Google Maps. Is there an app you prefer?

@notthatready yes, the weather was great.. I’m realizing a lot of the inhibitions I had were mental blocks and anxiety. I’m glad I got over them. I used Capital Bikes and couldn’t figure out if there was a way to dock my phone. I memorized routes before starting.

@notthatready I finally biked in the city! I stuck to streets with bike lanes and it was a breeze. :D

Modern TVs have dimming features that can adjust backlight power in specific parts of the screen, sometimes even at the individual pixel level.

We wanted to see whether adapting BBC content could make use of these features and reduce energy consumption.

@BethanyBlack as someone with unexplained gym-anxiety, I feel you. I hate the expectation to look and dress a certain way to go to the gym.
