Thinking of giving Spaces a spin. A room on...... Weird stories from american history. Who's interested?
Decent number of likes. Okay, let's do it at 1 pm NYC/1030 pm pune time. If you need a little break from the doom scrolling listening to some weird stories. My Spaces debut.
Sorry, 115pm/1045pm. Chores.
Fat fingers. Exited by mistake. Couldn't join in. Will start a new one.

The most gratifying aspect of blocking a sanghi is thinking of the likelihood that they are using *my* block screenshot as a badge of honor. 😁😁😁🤣🤣🤣
People often mute trolls instead of blocking thinking "i dont want to give them the satisfaction". Why not? They live such petty lives. Let them gloat about it for a minute. Then they will have to create alts or open an incognito tab to check your twitter. They lazily quit.
Many times, I am sent screenshots of sanghis saying "sabnis has blocked me! I never even interacted with him!"
😂😂
Protip- Every few days, I go to the profiles of @Shehla_Rashid @saliltripathi @imsabbah @iamrana @BabaGlocal and prophylactically mass block anyone abusing them.

This made me cry.
This is such great work. Gonna send them a cash thank you through a friend who is collecting funds for this initiative. Government hospitals in India are overrun with people who are literally penniless because they are daily wage dependent.

This whole thread is just so life affirming. So many good people glowing everywhere even despite the darkness seeming to engulf us.

A month ago when it seemed covid was no longer a threat to India but vaccines were scarce

Centrists: See Trump was so smart to monopolize all the supplies & do OWS. Smart businessman!
Me: He didn't want to do ANYTHING. This was others around him. Read newyorker.com/magazine/2021/…
India gets a second surge. Bhakts try to deflect by blaming US for the very policies praised.

Same centrists: Biden-Harris are being so selfish and cruel! Open up export restrictions!
Me: Give em a couple of days. They're busy with US pandemic.
Same centrists: No, tweet needed😠
When about 48 hours later, as is a reasonable time for a president who works from the oval office not his TV room and twitter, US announces the help it can.

Centrists & Bhakts: Too little too late
Me: Wha...How...NOTHING in US policy impacted indian second surge! NOTHING!

Took 12 years to get to 15K. Thanks to gobar and his fellow sanghis QTing and SSing and "he blocked me 😠😠"ing so much, about to hit 16K in just 7 more days. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Make it happen people 😏😇
As I said in my Spaces session today, just a little bit of smart thinking and you can make them work to spread and amplify you instead of the opposite, which is what happens these days with revolver rani, sanghihotri, etc throwing out bait. 🤓

On popular demand, here are main points I made today.

1. Types of Sanghi Troll attacks

Tho whataboutery, sealioning are broadly used by neo-fascists like Trump and traditional fascists like RSS, the latter has a more specific and structured attacks to harass or distract

Serious answer. 95% of my streaming watching since quarantine is either Canadian sitcoms, black sitcoms, or David Attenborough narrated wildlife documentaries. They do wonders. I've actually measured my heart rate before and after.
Gone from a guy who rewatched The Wire and Sopranos 3 times to not having watched any drama episode in 14 months.
"Emperor penguin bodies are perfectly built for many things. Mating is not one of them."
Just that line and that penguin porn had wife and I cracking up for 10 minutes. Can't find the exact scene but how can this not make you relax?

Our apartment lease was renewed for 2 years. With covid caused drop in the Manhattan rental market, we got a 13% decrease. Which is cool cos neither wife nor I missed a paycheck throughout. So this is like finding money. Monthly cut $$ x 24 sent to #CovidIndia in 3 days. 🤓🤓
If your income was unaffected by covid but spending notably reduced cos no eating out, movies, travel etc, you also have "found" money in your account. Consider donating it to orgs working for the neediest. Or if busy, just do this. Your own stimulus plan

Remember that India has hundreds of millions of people living on daily wages, often uncertain. And India had no stimulus. While many of us elites complain of zoom fatigue, many of them suffer from hunger fatigue. Even after this second surge plateaus, think of them.
