To those (of Indian origin) transitioning (or peeking in) from the birdsite, here is a starter pack to find your people, hopefully? Unless you're RW, in which case, I don't care to get you started, anyway.

#Pune thread you don't want to miss.
Thread:
Because I'm in #Pune, I'm sharing the most quintessential Pune joke I've ever heard.
पुणेरी wrong number:
"हॅलो, देशपांडे आहेत का?"
"घोडखिंड लढायला गेलेत. काही निरोप?"
"त्यांना सांगा महाराज गडावर पोचलेत. मेलात तरी चालेल."

Can I let you in on a little secret?
Billionaire philanthropy isn’t charity.
It’s PR to distract you from low wages, labor exploitation, and a tax system that’s rigged for the rich.

The dogmatic supporters of free market capitalism refuse to acknowledge that freedoms can be bought and sold beyond a point of wealth inequality. So neither the market, nor the people are free.
Wealth inequality is eating this country alive. Concentrated wealth is already endangering our democracy. Wealth doesn’t just beget more wealth — it begets more power.
It’s a vicious cycle that destroys our economy and democracy at the same time.

More than 1 million bags of shredded cheese is being recalled because they may contain metal fragments.
This is what happens when you cut food safety standards and gut the FDA
If you have cheese by the Great Lakes Cheese Co sold at Walmart, Publix or Aldi…check recall alerts

Disability isn’t a bad word.
There’s nothing wrong with being disabled.
There’s nothing wrong with identifying as disabled.
Ableism teaches us that we have to hide our disabilities.
Self acceptance means we stop hiding.
We won’t go gently for the comfort of others.

Disabled people were one of the first groups targeted by the Nazis.
They coined the term “useless eaters”.
They tested the gas chambers on us.
They knew most people wouldn’t fight to save our lives.
That’s why the President using the R slur is so dangerous.
We’re not expendable

Are the days of winter sunshine just as sad for you, too? When it is misty, in the evenings, and I am out walking by myself, it seems to me that the rain is falling through my heart and causing it to crumble into ruins.

"How did we get here?" ask baffled liberals who kept voting for the agents of the military industrial complex on both sides.
How low we have sunk as a country. The US Department of Defense is now run by a rabid war criminal.
Ordering the execution of helpless survivors of an attack is ALWAYS a war crime, whether they civilian or military.
Pure, mindless, barbarism.

Creating a military conflict with Venezuela gives this administration a legal "hook" to invoke the Alien Enemies Act. In other words, the foreign war is being manufactured in order to facilitate court deference for its domestic mass deportation policy. It's a Stephen Miller Special.
