TW: Fascist lying

Just listen to it. Send it to your whatsapp uncles and aunties. They will still support him for bigoted reasons. But at least make them squirm by having them watch the first minute of this speech before they get disgusted and turn it off. #CovidIndia

TW: Modi
In January, when all other countries were preparing for further surges and vaccinations, Modi was taking a victory lap. It's like claiming a match won at half time.

@thebokettogirl @karuvachitweets @sunsetkatz @RUGradsUnited Ah yes this old issue. So here's the thing
1. These restrictions have absolutely no legal basis in the US (especially New Jersey) and are an "honor system" type thing. As in those desi grad students who adhere to it do so more out of indian norms than any US laws.
@thebokettogirl @karuvachitweets @sunsetkatz @RUGradsUnited 2. But there is no such legal requirement and if anything, this is a ripe situation for a Cisco or BAPS type case, but without the class action lawsuit element because one entity isn't enforcing this. It's just basic desi casteist nature.
@thebokettogirl @karuvachitweets @sunsetkatz @RUGradsUnited 3. A friend who kept encountering restrictions like Sahithya has moved into such a place. And after getting on the lease etc, disregarded those rules completely. Totally! Cooked meat in the kitchen, etc etc. His roomies yelled foul. He said "what US law makes this illegal?"

With each passing day, it's becoming clear that mRNA vaccines with their crazy historically high effectiveness against most strains are THE best ones to give everyone in the world. @POTUS should start a coalition of the willing who want to make that happen. And compensate AZ etc.
137 million Americans are fully vaccinated, mostly with the mRNA Pfizer and Moderna vaccines that cost $20 a pop. India charges $15 for each covid test on the open market. Can easily just allow the mRNA ones. This is so not the time to push swadeshi and atmanirbhar!
Out of 137 million Americans vaccinated, just about a thousand have been hospitalized from covid. Just a thousand out of 137 million! That is crazy high effectiveness! Historically high! And robust against strains so far. Everyone should get those everywhere on earth!

Answer from one of the top producers of kaju katli worldwide on why there's a foil on top. TIL!
Indeed. @cIndraneel is one of young bucks who have used packaging technology as a strategic differentiator. I've been shopping in US desi stores for 17 years. The few chitale products are head and shoulders above the rest. Even Haldiram not as good.
Even when I visit their stores in Pune, they are like 3 generations ahead. This is so much not our parents' Chitale anymore. I hope their full product portfolio makes it to Costco one day, which is like the world cup win of food retail. 😁

Weekend reading is @suchitrav 😁
Great start! What an ambitious undertaking!
Few people realize that partition, that we take for granted today, was considered unimaginable until a year before it actually happened. A reminder to us that not everything we think improbable is impossible.

My periodic reminder, especially to desi libertarians, to read this story in full. How decades old federal systems like CDC are to thank for the super fast super effective mRNA Vax. And how Trump, GOP actively created hurdles at every step. Read!

Every time someone gives even the tiniest bit of credit to Trump for the vaccines, send them that story. Which will be in a Lawrence Wright book with even more details coming out next week.

USA is doing relatively so much better DESPITE Trump being president then. Fact.
If Hillary Clinton had been president, USA could have escaped with Australia type per capita cases and deaths. Trump can easily be blamed for at least 500K deaths. The WHO was right that US had THE best system to deal with a pandemic. We just had the worst president in the world.

ROFL, he basically got trolled by the Post into shutting down his blog with just simple facts of his traffic 🤣🤣🤣
"infuriated by measly readership" should get a Pulitzer 🤣🤣🤣
This is the story that resulted in half the china in maralago being smashed by 45. 🤣🤣🤣 It's so good to finally be able to laugh at the guy. This is such a complete pantsing by the Post. 🤣🤣🤣
