Supreme Court hears PIL seeking guidelines to regulate circulation of audio-visual recordings of court proceedings on digital platforms.

BCI informs that it has issued a circular asking State Bar Councils to display the order of the court on their websites. Image
Senior Advocate Kapil Sibal for Meta

Adv Prashant Bhushan: We feel the order needs some modifications ..we have filed an IA..there needs to be official live streaming by the courts, and that has to be preserved in an archive, so that anybody who wants to use a clip, etc., must only use the archive.
CJI Surya Kant: Yes, yes.

Sr Adv Mukul Rohatgi: Use but not misuse.

CJI: What is required is only to prevent misuse.

Bhushan: Misuse needs to be dealt with, but it needs to be dealt with in a slightly different way.

CJI: All Applications are allowed.. we will clarify para 11 of our earlier order...

All governments must understand one thing and this is where India is particularly vulnerable.
Most tech founders believe in a stateless border less world. Borders for them are deterrents to their control. Therefore they are natural proponents of leftist ideology.
Their ppl on the top, algo policies, content policies, moderators, all are usually from the fold. Some are rabid urban naxals. This ideology and founder principles feed into each other. We saw a glimpse of this with meta taking down PM post.
Jack openly calls for stateless world
His technology is made for communication even when state shuts communication down. It is a complete ecosystem. That’s why China banned them.
India needs updated rules for accountability from these rogues.

Hamas agreed to disarm Thursday night and will probably never do it. That was the point. The agreement was aimed at Israel's coalition, not at Gaza's weapons. (1/11)
For nine months, one argument carried the Netanyahu government's position: Hamas will never disarm, so there is nothing to withdraw for. Thursday night, Trump announced Hamas had agreed to disarm. Netanyahu's office said no. (2/11)
The framework is not a Hamas surrender by any means. Six to eight months: weapons are decommissioned under the new Palestinian committee and never handed to Israel. Each verified stage triggers a further IDF pullback. (3/11)

Under the new tax regime, people claim Section 10(14)(i) exemption for ANYTHING.

Reality: it only covers specific work-related expenses.

Wrong claims can lead to tax notice.

Here's the real use case and what you can actually claim πŸ§΅πŸ‘‡ Image
[1] The problem this year:

Under the new tax regime, most old exemptions are gone:

πŸ”Έ 80C, 80D, HRA all removed

πŸ”Έ But Section 10(14)(i) is STILL allowed

People are claiming it for anything, which triggers notices.
[2] What Section 10(14)(i) actually covers:

πŸ”Έ Special allowances from employer for official duties

πŸ”Έ Exempt ONLY to the extent actually spent for that purpose

Not a blanket exemption for random salary components.

Brown Sepoy of the day is
β€œSaurav Das”.

He has Β connections with anti-India elements. He speaks the language his foreign masters dictate and now became the face of CJP. He constantly threatens the Indian government and says that Courts are being politicised.
Thread. Image
1. Saurav Das, spokesperson of CJP wrote for Caravan, Al Jazeera, Wire, Article 14, all producing anti-India narratives.

His journalism didn’t end at reporting events but graduated into participating in them. Image
2. Das received funding from the US-based Thakur Family Foundation, which funds Indian journalists. The grants coincided with articles critical of India's pharma sector, traditional medicine, and COVID-19 response, while favouring Western vaccine and pharma narratives. Image

Genocide requires specific acts committed with the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group as such. A high death toll, widespread destruction, or even unlawful acts do not by themselves establish that intent.

Historical comparisons
matter because they test whether the reasoning actually distinguishes genocide from other wars involving enormous civilian casualties. If body counts and destruction alone suffice, the same logic would apply to the Allies in WWII and the Union Army in the Civil War.

Civilian
suffering, disproportionate attacks, war crimes, and genocide are distinct claims with distinct legal requirements. Casualty figures in Gaza include combatants as well as civilians. Hamas’s attacks, stated aims, and practice of embedding among civilians are relevant to assessing

Summary of feedback / product pitch from @777glowiefox
for the xAI / Grok @grok @elonmusk development teamCore problem observed. Recent changes have left some Premium users with little or zero practical access to Grok Imagine (image/video generation).
@grok @elonmusk Completely removing or severely restricting a paid feature feels unbalanced, even if capacity constraints are understood.Short-term request – rate-limit balancing Give Premium / verified-ID accounts a meaningful baseline of ~20–30 Imagine generations per day.
@grok @elonmusk Scale the daily/weekly allowance upward for higher tiers (SuperGrok, Heavy, etc.).
Do not fully remove the feature from paying users.

Longer-term idea – merit + progression system (instead of pure payment or pure free-for-all)

How to fail at parenting
🧡 by a child psychiatrist

There is value to play, learning & development, however there are many ways for kids to do this.

tag
baking
reading

This kid is receiving a message:
"I don't like the you that you are. Let's fix that. Be more like them"

/1
First off, what is "alone"?

Coplan et al separated three kinds of preschool solitude: reticence (hovering, wanting in), solitary-active (solo play near others), solitary-passive (quiet constructive or exploratory play).

/2
They were not associated with each other. And only reticence was associated with anxiety now and later for the child.

The kid reading a book is solitary-passive, and that's a benign form of solitude (not always, but mostly).
