Forget AI stealing jobs. In Albania, AI just stole democracy.

Meet Diella - the first AI ever appointed as a cabinet minister.

Here’s why this is either genius… or the start of algorithmic authoritarianism: 🧵 Why procurement?

Because that’s the sewage pipe of politics.

Every dirty deal, every bribe, every mafia handshake flows through public tenders.

Albania didn’t put AI in “innovation” or “tourism.” It dropped it in the epicenter of corruption.

Infosys once sat at the same table as Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, and AWS. Backing a scrappy AI startup called OpenAI.

10 years later? Microsoft owns the prize, Infosys rents the future.

How did they blow $45B in a matter of days? 👇 December 2015:

OpenAI launched as a nonprofit and published a list of donors who collectively “pledged $1B” to support the mission.

Infosys was explicitly named among those early backers.

This gambler broke football.

Tony Bloom built the world’s biggest betting syndicate. Then he gambled on his boyhood club, Brighton.

Turning them from broke and homeless to an $860M empire.

His strategic edge? A brutal system nobody else trusted.

A thread. 🧵
In 1997, Brighton were on life support.

– Bankrupt
– Homeless (stadium sold by former owners)
– Forced to play 70 miles away at a borrowed ground in Gillingham
– Fans furious, attendances collapsing

Most clubs would have folded.

GST 2.0 was supposed to be boring.

Instead, they cut taxes across healthcare, insurance, daily goods, agriculture…

…and raised them on gutkha, tobacco.

All you need to know about the new “Gabbar Singh Tax” 2025 🧵👇
First shocker:

Life & Health Insurance now have 0% GST.

Term life, ULIPs, endowment, family floaters, senior citizen covers - everything.

Insurance just got cheaper for 1.4B+ Indians.

A massive push for financial security.

20,000,000 voices.
90 minutes that carry 100 years of history.

Two colour combinations:
Green and Maroon vs Red and Gold.

And a rivalry older than most countries.

The Kolkata Derby is much more than just Asia’s biggest football clash: 🧵
To you, it may look like “just another football match.”

To me, it is my identity, my religion, my everything.

This Derby decides who your friends are, your festivals, even your family fights.

It’s survival, legacy, defiance. Not just sport.

Trump and Putin just met in Alaska.

All show, no deal, and the talks ended without a Ukraine ceasefire or deal.

But the real impact of this failed summit stretches far beyond Anchorage.

Here’s what it really means for the world: 🧵 The summit was hastily arranged, with little groundwork.

Normally, high-stakes diplomacy comes after months of preparation.

This one looked more like theatre than negotiation.

And in geopolitics, theatre has consequences.

In 1929, a small factory in Vile Parle, Mumbai, began making biscuits.

No one knew it would one day feed BILLIONS. Survive wars. Become the top-selling biscuit in the world.

On the brink of our 78th Independence Day, let's reminisce Parle-G - the “biscuit of independence.” 🧵
Back then, the Indian biscuit market was dominated by expensive British imports.

They were a luxury for the elite.

Most Indians couldn’t afford them, and local manufacturing was almost non-existent.

That’s where Mohanlal Dayal Chauhan, founder of Parle, saw its opening.
