President Metsola’s reform proposals (presented behind closed doors!) are a big step in the right direction, but they don’t go far enough.
MEPs should be free to take part in events organised by third parties – but they (or the Parliament) should cover the costs. Travel and event

My #Sanghi-infested #WhatsApp groups are sharing a story in an obscure California based online magazine (see pic).
Q. Why Now? the last election was in 2019 and the next is not till 2024.
A. To bury the shameful story of the shameful release of #BilkisBano's rapists.

The sad and depressing fact is that women have been involved in the unseemly jubilation and public felicitation of the 11 murderers and rapists who have been released.

இலவசங்களால் என்ன பயன் ? தமிழ் மக்கள் வாழ்வு எப்படி மேம்பட்டிருக்கிறது எனப் பிரதமருக்கு முட்டு கொடுத்து சீமான் கேள்வி எழுப்பி இருக்கிறார்.

கலைஞர் தந்த இலவச டிவி திட்டத்தின் பலன்கள் பற்றி இந்த இழையில் பார்ப்போம் #thread #freebies
1996ல் கலைஞர் இலவச டிவி அறிவிக்கும் போது 14" டிவியின் சந்தை விலை ₹5000/-. திமுக அரசு 2006-11 நடந்த 5 ஆண்டு ஆட்சியில் 1,62,59,526 குடும்பங்களுக்கு 3687 கோடி ரூபாய் செலவில் டிவி வழங்கியது. அதாவது ஒரு டிவியின் விலை சுமார் ₹2200/-. டெண்டர் முறை மூலம் அரசு வாங்கியதால் மக்களிடம்
இருந்து போயிருக்கக் கூடிய ஆயிரக்கணக்கான கோடிகள் மிச்சமாகி அது புழக்கத்தில் இருந்தது. தமிழ்நாட்டில் டிவி ஊடுருவல் (penetration) 95% ஆனதால் தமிழில் இத்தனை சேனல்கள் வந்தன. மற்ற மாநிலங்களில் HUL, P& G, ITC போன்ற பன்னாட்டு நிறுவனங்களின் பிராண்டுகளே கோலோச்சும் போது இங்கே கோல்டுவின்னர்
இந்தக் காணொளி கண்டு திரு.பழனிவேல் தியாகராஜன் அவர்கள் மீது காதல் கொண்டுவிட்டேன். "மக்களுக்கு தேவையான மானியங்களை மாநில அரசு கொகுக்கக் கூடாது என்று சொல்ல மோ டி (கழுதை) யார் ?" (திரியின் இறுதியில் ஆங்கிலக் காணலாம் ). Contd
அவன் என்ன இந்த நாட்டில் செலவக் கொழிப்பை கொண்டு வந்து விட்டானா, தமிழ்நாட்டுக்கு பொருளாதார அறிவுரை சொல்ல?
அவன் என்ன பொருளாதாரப் படிப்பில் இரண்டு டாக்டர் பட்டம் பெற்று வைத்திருக்கிறானா எங்களுக்கு அறிவுரை சொல்ல ?
அவன் என்ன பொருளாதாரப் படிப்பில் இரண்டு டாக்டர் பட்டம் பெற்று வைத்திருக்கிறானா எங்களுக்கு அறிவுரை சொல்ல ?

In #SupremeCourt CJI calls upon Senior Advocate and Parliamentarian Kapil Sibal, to ask for his opinion in plea by @AshwiniUpadhyay seeking directions to ECI not to permit political parties to distribute freebies from from public fund before elections. Sibal says its serious.
Sibal further informed the court that the solution is difficult but when finance commission allocates funds to states, they must consider the problem of freebies and the amount of debt each state has. He said that the government cannot be expected to pass any directions
The court, on hearing Sibal’s suggestion, adjourned the matter while asking ASG KM Natraj to take instructions in this regard.

On January 13th, 2020, shortly before midnight Pacific time, our good friend @DrunkAlexJones debuted the hashtag #FishingForRobots in order to, well, fish for robots. #ThursdayThoughts #ManyFishBite

cc: @ZellaQuixote
@DrunkAlexJones @ZellaQuixote We used three different tools (Hypefury, Crowdfire, and TweetDeck) to schedule @DrunkAlexJones #FishingForRobots tweetstorms at roughly midnight PST on seven recent occasions. 91 additional accounts picked up the hashtag, 76 of which are at least mostly automated.
@DrunkAlexJones @ZellaQuixote We designed #FishingForRobots tweets to attract bots, and evolved them several times over the course of the experiment. The first set of tweets (sent via Hypefury) contained hashtags we knew from previous experience would likely result in bots retweeting or cloning the tweets.
Follow along as Oliver and I see what we can see and do for $20 @mnstatefair. Pre-paid for a ticket (and he is free), 🚲 to the nearest free park and ride...
@Kaalateetham @INCIndia India's population - 1.3B
20% of it 0.26B
0.26B x 72,000/- INR = 18,720B = 18.7 lakh crores which is almost one tenth of our country's GDP.
Considering the debt we will have - Rahul Gandhi will take us back another hundred years! #MinimumIncomeGuarantee

@Kaalateetham @INCIndia Pappu is promising 14% of GDP as #freebies to win 2019 elections. This so called fake Gandhi #RahulGandhi instead of making people competent with skills, is making them useless, incompetent with a dead promise of freebies (which never would see the light)
