This is key metric for being happy about Lula's victory. Hope this continues! @Abhadra7 @ujaan_banerjee
In terms of the sheer joy this guy gave me this year, and the drama he caused in the last two world cups, affecting my daily living during the months when the tournaments were played - I think that from my experiences - I will agree with this.
My favourite weekend destination for 13.5 years in Bengaluru. How many books I bought from here, how many were given free by Mr. Murthy, and then Sanjay! Even read a proof copy of a book the author asked Mr. Murthy to review. What nostalgia @Abhadra7!

My word! Clear statement by a former CEC! Anyone listening?
🚨BREAKING : Former Election Commissioner brutally EXPOSED Traitors Gyanesh kumar🔥🔥
OP Rawat, former Chief Election Commissioner of India:
"If your voter list isn't complete at election time,
if lakhs of eligible voters have been left out of the new list,
the election should be held on the OLD list.
There's a clear law for this."
Think about it for a second.
This isn't Rahul Gandhi.
This isn't a Congress spokesperson.
This is a man who once sat in the same chair Gyanesh Kumar sits in today.
And he's saying it plainly:
when eligible voters are missing, you don't push ahead.
You protect their right to vote.
So why the rush with the new SIR lists?
Why push ahead when lakhs of names are reportedly missing?
Why ignore a law that's already there?
When a former CEC has to remind the current CEC of the rulebook,
the problem isn't the opposition.
It's the one in the chair.
Gyanesh Kumar ji, the law is clear.
Is your intention? 🗿🔥
Lovely books in the stall they wanted to demolish. Bought several actually. And none were directly political.
We went to get some books from the @CPIM_WESTBENGAL stall at Jadavpur today. Bengalis love books, we don't accept bulldozing of book stalls. It was good to see many with a similar mindset at the red stalls. @ayanban7
More than fifteen Pujo venues all over Kolkata are closed off! Why???! What has a stampede at Chorbagan have to do with the closure of pandals at the opposite end of the city? Is this an admission of the clear lack of preparation of the Kolkata authorities for Pujo this year?!
In the 116 years of large scale Durga Pujo in Kolkata, this is the FIRST time ever that a disaster like this has happened. Feel rather numb. I too have always been there with the teeming millions - NEVER has there been a stampede situation. Something changed this time. Intent?
Oh man! Look before you leap!!! @Abhadra7
Water reduces friction on a solid surface. But if the solid surface is engineered with additional friction-reducing agents, water added further by rain will cause havoc.
Basic science. Rather, common sense. The absence of which in policy-makers is deadly.
A biker was seen slipping on Kolkata’s Chingrighata Flyover after the road was painted ahead of Durga Puja. The incident has raised serious road safety concerns, with questions over the paint used and accountability for putting commuters at risk.

Crisp. Clear.
After the West Bengal Chief Electoral Officer and a BJP spokesperson questioned DeKoder's earlier SIR analysis, Prannoy Roy (@PrannoyRoy7749) responds with a closer look at the data.
Is counting seats won enough to understand SIR's electoral impact? What does the vote swing reveal that the seat tally doesn't?
Watch till the end and follow DeKoder for more.

Destroying the night is not beautiful. Life on the planet has grown in the midst of a diurnal rhythm.
This is so very understandable! Even in our far lower-stakes journey, right from my PhD - have recieved rejections from the 'big' journals for ridiculously flimsy reasons. The latest was a referee opine 'I just don't think this is good enough for this journal'! And so a reject!
Not only did this year’s Nobel ignore co-inventor Ed Boyden for being a student at the time, it also entirely dismissed Zhuo-Hua Pan, who invented optogenetics months before this team did, only to get rejected everywhere. Story from ten years ago archive.ph/FAqsp
In half-sleep I saw this. My sleep dissipated. A 39 year old's swansong, the match nearing end, a friendly on top of that - and he runs like this to stop a ball from going out of play. That's what defines a champion. I shall never forget this one. #Messi forever. @ujaan_banerjee
This is a very strong statement. But will it change anything, though!
"If any process results in disenfranchising millions and millions of Indian citizens, making them second-class citizens in their own country, in the sense of being citizens without voting rights, such a process is intrinsically arbitrary."
"No amount of whataboutery can justify it."
A sitting judge of the Supreme Court, Justice Ujjal Bhuyan, said Sunday.

Please help him take the next step. 🙏
No contribution is too small. If you can help, please do, and if you cannot, please share this appeal. Together, we may be able to give Tuhin the chance he has fought so hard for.

Confession?!
🚨🎙️ Jude Bellingham on the toughest opponent he’s ever faced:
🗣️ “I’ve faced so many great players and gone battle for battle with them, but I never expected a 39-year-old Messi to be that troublesome and unstoppable.
“We were in total control after Anthony Gordon scored in the World Cup semi-final. I thought, ‘Yes, we’re finally going to the final.’ But I noticed Messi was causing problems for our midfield, so I tried a hard tackle to get into his head and distract him. I didn’t know it would be the turning point. That’s probably my biggest regret.
“From there, he became so active that none of us could catch him. Before we knew it, he assisted Enzo, then created another goal to complete the comeback.
“I was devastated. Even till today, I still dream about that match. But playing on the same pitch as my childhood idol was special. I even got his shirt after the game. He’s the greatest ever. I just never expected him to still look like he was in his prime at 39.”
