Come walk with us awhile, and Tridip and I will tell you about the most interesting person in Gandhi’s cohort in the tumultuous 1940s: Manu was his witness, biographer, co-experimenter and much else to boot. I dig her muchly, and you will too.
I got myself four Sliman Mansour posters last summer. Let me introduce you to them between now and Sunday, when this ceasefire actually (🤞🏽) sets in…
Yup yup - it’s stayed with me since I first came across it years ago.
I think we’d all do well to sit with the questions it raises again.
I’m going to be in conversation with the always fabulous @saliltripathi.bsky.social about his gorgeous book on Gujarat and the Gujaratis this Friday: if you’re in Ahmedabad, you don’t want to miss this. Come say hello and help us think through who we are (and why we are like this only ;) )
Errr…what now? Clover? But not of the four-leaf kind? I’m not sure I speak ‘emoji’ as eloquently as you, young man ;)
Wrote a thing: will be of interest to anyone plagued by that little imp who goes by the name of one Mr MK Gandhi. #academicsky (but also, not).

Seems like @susanabulhawa.bsky.social is here but I have no mutuals to confirm with.
Thank me later. Jolt.com - go watch. Corrupt, venal + genocidal - any wonder Bibi and our own strongman leader are BFFs? 🙃
Cannot - and I can’t stress this enough - recommend this more. You need to watch (and rewatch) this: in a world of disgustingly specious propaganda like the Sabarmati Report, seek truth like Final Solution instead.
Such a world of this.

This is wildly interesting. It is here, this AI companion who affords the simulation of intimacy, but what we do about it or what it does to us is anyone’s guess.

A couple of years ago it became clear to me we’re going to have to reimagine what assignments will mean and be in a world of AI. So I started getting my students to play with it like so :)
PS. hilarious freakin’ thumbnail because I’m an animated monkey. Deal with it.
Google pulling this up as the first results = we see who their paymasters are.
Incredibly special. More power to you for putting this together, Peter. Meant much 🍉♥️✊🏽
‘Land back’ begins with this ✊🏽♥️
This is all kinds of fabulous - thanks, Peter - totes my kind of rabbit hole :)
What a waste of oxygen this cretin is - who hurt you so, Abhijit Mitra?
This needs to be said, loud, and often.
Israel is allying to ISIS affiliated criminal gangs to starve Gaza.
You can read about this in the Israeli press.
Why isn't this splashed on front pages in the West?

Damn straight. Plus there’s the small fact that what ails us cannot possibly cure us, no? There’s no way we are buying ourselves out of this unholy mess. We will become circular economies or we will die out as a species. It’s quite literally that simple.
Damn you for going and breaking my heart like this, Maharashtra - what a bizarre dissipation of the “change is a-coming” energy of the General Election results just a few months ago 💔

I know what you mean; I don’t think there’s a world in which the corrupt State doesn’t put all its resources towards helping him worm out of this, but today, we point and laugh. I haven’t stopped smiling in hours :)
