Can you imagine a World Cup whose schedule and venues are not published even 4 months before it starts? Jay Shah zindabad!
Sanghis are Incompetent even by fascist standards.
I'm still pissed that the final is at Ahmedabad. Should've been Bangalore or Madras. Legit their turn.
I wouldn't mind Eden. But they already got a final.

There are 4 historic homes of cricket in India for me, that stand above the rest.

Bombay, Calcutta, Bangalore, Madras.

But in #NewIndia Sardar Patel stadium is renamed Modi and Kotla renamed Jaitley

A conservative rancher Airbnb owner, himself a chemical engineer, once ranted to us about how useless college is. The next day, he proudly showed us how the right mix of cows, goats, sheep got the max returns for his ranch, something he remembered from a college course.
In Oaxaca museum, there was a display on how ancients figured out how to predict eclipses. But they kept this knowledge secret and used it for political power. Pretending that predicting eclipses made rich educated people gods.

Belittling college is elitist protectionism.
And the funny thing is, those with generational wealth still get premium high education.

Conservatives go to Harvard and JNU and then shit on colleges while sending their own kids to Premium colleges

Modi is going to regret asking Biden to give him a state dinner and another joint session. There are going to be so many protests & public events, that his sins will get more exposure worldwide than from a dozen BBC documentaries.

We are a country about to arrest our ex Prez.
You visit the White House any given day and there's protestors there. Protesting the US president. Without any pushback, as long as it is done peacefully.

Can Modi's fragile ego handle throngs of protestors outside the White House during his state dinner?
It's his core base that will embarrass India the most as always.

I remember his 2014 concert at Madison square garden. The were only a couple of dozen protestors outside with 2002 signs. His bros tried to intimidate them until NYPD stepped in.

LOL, this is such a tri-state area thing! Even Catholic bros doing noora kushti fundraiser. Giving like 3 new meanings to the phrase Turn the other cheek. 🤣

But seriously, NY-NJ-CT has a very long and storied history of small scale pro wrestling. Why WWE was born here. Image
I often use the Monday Night Wars as a Marketing case in class. One student, who came from a family of wrestlers, nailed it when he said the tri-state market being so solid & lucrative is why even Ted Turner could not defeat Vince McMahon. "rasslin can never beat wrestling".
The story of the rise, fall, and rise of the WWE is such a classic Strategy case, where a lot of textbook business and economics principles play out.

When wrestling goes from regional models to one big national behemoth, oh course it's the richest market whose player grows.

This weekend I got a tad excited at #OurWawar when I saw these. And funnily, it connects to this show!

Long time followers will know I was/am a big fan of #Elementary cos I thought it Was more like the original procedural stories than the unnecessarily complex Cumberbatch one. twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
Living in NYC added an extra layer of enjoyment to #Elementary cos they very truly genuinely made it an NYC show, using a lot of actual stuff, news, and other peculiarities of the region, that could not work in England. Very well written well researched episodes.
One of my favorite episodes, very much Arthur Conan Doyle DNA, had a Catskills element in it.

A dude has been killed. They can't figure out why. He doesn't have anything of value. In fact he was about to shut down a bankrupt business which has a lot of cheap forest land.

So simple!

Seen a few other people be like, Doc is too harsh & daily doing this & it shows his own "bias".

Saying that a liver doc on Twitter daily busting liver related myths is "too much" is like saying a compass points North A little too often, and that feels biased.
Every day, every hour, whenever I check, my compass points North. I believe in science & magnetic fields but isn't this suspiciously biased?

Science needs to have an open mind, so why can't compass point East or West in the interests of alternative navigation?

@theliverdr
You want to believe in alternative medicine, homeo, cow feces, astrology, numerology, completely your choice.

But if you come to Twitter and get offended at science minded people trashing your favorite pseudo science, just unfollow or mute na. Why get why about it public?

I'm old enough to remember that in 2011, even Fox wasn't putting birtherism on primetime (just morning, only when he called in).

It was Anderson and Wolf and Larry who gave him hours and hours, often cutting away from Arab spring.

CNN and MSNBC created Trump, not Fox News.
Of course once Trump locked the nomination, Fox fell in line. But the conservatives there know Trump is not a conservative.

CNN was always only interested in ratings with Trump. They made birtherism a thing. CNN. Never forget.

They pretended to nail his lies. Never did.
People who remember that time will remember.

As late as 2009, Trump was praising Obama, Obamacare, Hillary. And on TV was generally a social liberal. Not the 80s open racist Trump.

He picked birtherism as a play. Just lying through his teeth.

CNN made it global headlines.
