It took 7 years, ...but still!
Thousands of crores of money laundered, but still..!
Multiple private companies bullied into "donating",... but still!

Long live the Judiciary. The last cracking, shaking, splintering, but still standing pillar of the triumvirate.

It's pitiful and I'm sorry for the collective conscience of humanity (if there even is such a thing). 😔

More on a cynical note: If only the people of Gaza were white and/or spoke English and/or were Christian and/or etc... 😑

They are ‘civilised’ and ‘look like us’: the racist coverage of Ukraine

Are Ukrainians more deserving of sympathy than Afghans and Iraqis? Many seem to think so

I'm very sure this is not even possible, but just as a fun(?) thought experiment:

1. What would it take for all news media outlets to just ignore Trump? (Except the right-wing ones, of course.)

2. Imagine a scenario where it did happen. Like, from one day to the next, snap, and he's just not a topic anymore. Would it help things? Perhaps by making him less relevant? Or would it be pointless? What would the media outlets be covering then?

Just about to go to sleep, and I realized that tomorrow's a Sunday and NOT a Monday.

What a feeling! 🥱😌

Should it be considered a failure of the democratic system that India's opposition parties have essentially given up the national vote?

They have apparently decided to simply wait, until some sort Deus ex machina occurs and finally invalidates the BJP.

If it doesn't make your blood boil, your heart pound, and fill your mind with hatred and negativity, is it even news anymore? 🤷🏽‍♂️
