The US supported Modi tlhinking he will open up the Indian market to US companies. Except they never read RSS economic thought which can be summarized as:
1. The Indian economy should be hermetically sealed from the rest of the world
2. Economic production should be reorganized along caste lines

It seems the US plans to create a buffer state in South Asia between Bangladesh and Myanmar are coming to fruition. Big L for "Chanakyas" Modi, Shah, Doval and Jaishankar.

Makes so much sense

A cartoon shows a doctor saying to a patient: here’s your problem—it looks like you’ve been paying to what’s going on

Googling Stuff: Then v Now.

This title if the comic is ‘Googling Stuff…’
The comic shows two columns: on the left is “Then” showing search results with one thing listed as “the thing you want”

On the right column is ‘Now’ - also showing search results but in this case it’s a whole bunch of stuff you don’t need:

Fascinating Planet Money episode on how George Soros broke the Bank of England and forced UK to devalue the Pound. One of the main actors, Scott Bessent, was then an analyst at Soros' Fund and is now Trump's nominee for Treasure Secy.

Nehru was probably one of the most woke Indians of his time, perhaps even more woke than Indians of today. Hence the irony...

Celia Richardson @celiarichardson.bsky.social · Dec 7

A new form of protest. According to the Spectator these jackets are being worn by Cotswolds men as part of part of "a wider, anti-woke narrative that takes against the frenzied, hand-wringing of institutions such as the National Trust." www.spectator.co.uk/article/why-...

There’s something smug about a Nehru jacket

Men's fashion shops like Joah and Sirplus seem to sell a lot of Nehru waistcoats and jackets. What’s the meaning behind this Indian clothing?

Google said its quantum computer needed less than five minutes to perform a mathematical calculation that one of the world’s most powerful supercomputers could not complete in 10 septillion years, a length of time that exceeds the age of the known universe.

Google Makes New Quantum Computing Breakthrough

Google unveiled an experimental machine capable of tasks that a traditional supercomputer could not master in 10 septillion years. (That’s older than the universe.)

BREAKING: In an unprecedented move, more than 75 Nobel Prize winners have signed a letter urging senators not to confirm Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as head of the Department of Health and Human Services.

It's the first time in history that Nobel laureates have come together to oppose a Cabinet choice.
