Even a single billboard on the water is one too many. Light pollution harms human health as much as noise does, and it is regulated in many of the countries Mumbai wants to emulate. In August 2024, Awaaz sent suggestions and objections to the BMC's draft Hoardings Policy, which allowed unrestricted lighted hoardings across the city. In May, we wrote to the CM objecting to billboards along Bandra's coastal promenades. We attached policies from the US and UK to our objections. Yet Mumbai is now facing lighted billboards in our marine waters. Scientists and experts say floating billboards would bring "concentrated, high-radiance beacons right at the waterline, completely erasing natural marine dark corridors." Light from these LEDs can reach 40m underwater and disrupt plankton that feed in darkness, the base of our marine food chain. India endorsed global guidelines on light pollution for migratory wildlife in 2020. Why are we ignoring them now? timesofindia.indiatimes.com/… @CMOMaharashtra @mybmc @mpcb_official @timesofindia

The sea is all we have in Mumbai. It's the only third space where families can congregate without tearing their wallets. This government, its crony cabal of industrialists is so anti-poor! Had it not been for the nationalist project, we'd have heads rolling by now.

You're laughing but the BJP HQ is scrambling for GEN-Z appeal! They're out here out-gaying the gays to 2012 music and you're laughing?

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma and his cabinet ministers surprised internet users by sharing a fun AI-generated Gangnam Style dance video online. The hilarious clip, featuring playful face-swapping and energetic moves, went viral across social media, showcasing a lighter, more entertaining side of state political leadership right now.

Liberals are using words like "traitor" and "terrorist" for Sharjeel Imam because he criticized constitution. Same Liberals have never used these terms for big Hindutva leaders who openly talk about turning India into a Hindu Rashtra.

Devendra and Amruta mounting a hilarious PR campaign for 2029 just in time for peak anti-Modi sentiment. Too good.
Bhaumik Gowande@bhaumikgowandeOct 22
Devendra Fadnavis represents the kind of leadership the BJP should be building its future around, especially for the 2029 elections. -Educated -Globalist -Economically liberal and pro-growth No one, absolute no one in the current BJP can match his credentials.

@danielkolitzOct 22
I’m writing a book. It’s called Goonworld. It’s not about gooning. Or it is, metaphorically. But mostly it’s about post-COVID culture writ large—the range of, let’s say, unusual online forms/tendencies that have emerged this decade and that have in various ways altered the texture of contemporary reality. Sort of a travelogue. A journey to the heart of slop etc. Out via FSG eventually!

Only Fadnavis has the potential to represent India as a sophisticated, educated leader globally. We don’t want hyper-religious leaders or leaders who use an NSG security aura and viral videos to project their image.
