The Week did a six-page cover interview with Dhruv Rathee, and it's just generic stuff he blabbers about on his YouTube & Twitter feed. This dude claims to be concerned about global warming, meanwhile his AI startup is contributing to the depletion of lakes around the world

Mr Prime Minister should reform some of the regulations in his third term before 2028. Don't be afraid @narendramodi @PMOIndia

It's simply a lack of empathy - if they believe that someone's life could be at risk due to their deplorable acts, they will never accept bribes and do corruption.
Having walked around Mumbai a bit, and also having seen the Jio complex a bit, I have to say I am quite conflicted about India.
First up, everyone I’ve interacted with was super nice, whether that’s because I’m a foreigner or not, I cannot say, I’m hoping people are nice in general. The food I ate everywhere was also super tasty, tho of course I did avoid street food that I feared might be problematic for me.
All that said, the contrast between the streets of Mumbai and the malls of Mumbai are immensely striking. It is as if there were two completely different worlds superimposed into the same physical location. One is of absolute luxury, the other of absolute poverty, with seemingly very little middle ground in between.
It is quite saddening that it became of this really. I am absolutely of the belief that having different classes is both unavoidable and undesirable to avoid; yet it’s so hard to believe that all this luxury is unable to do anything against all this poverty.
Of course, as a foreigner, I am completely oblivious and ignorant to the state, problems and remedy attempts, so I will refrain from making any suggestions. Rather will close with an observation, that we should do better; all of us who has a capacity to enact change, however small.
Thank you Mumbai for the opportunity to experience both sides of the coin, and hoping for a brighter future for everyone there. ❤️🇮🇳

I want MGNREGA-style programme for infrastructure, with training. It could help rebuild ageing infrastructure while creating a skilled workforce for sustainable, eco-friendly projects.🤓🤓

took a month @MicrosoftEdge to fix it; this build is better (Version 156.0.4314.56), it's not crashing or slowing down anymore.
@MicrosoftEdge hi Edge, do you know that there are few glitches in Build 154 (154.0.4258.37 to be specific). Sometimes the browser stops working and everything freezes from mouse control to keyboard. Can you pls help me resolve this issue?
