how even does one lose their favourite pen?!

flat-earthers hate this one proof.

Police arrived at the scene around 18:30 local time (12:30 GMT)

that doesn’t add up. did they mean 00:30 GMT?

so, a weighted sleeping bag?

unexpected taskmaster?

additional sources for other points:

1. terrorist bomb blasts in mumbai 2006 BBC

2. terrorist attacks in mumbai 2008 PBS

3. terrorist attacks on india’s parliament 2001 BBC Sounds podcast (the most neutral source i could find)

4. osama bin laden and pakistan timeline BBC

5. timeline of terror attacks in india random source

this reuters article is one.

the problem is that all public news articles will be sketchy this early in the game. most relevant information is still classified and not available yet.

Did they have intel that Pakistan was actually involved in a tourist attack or is this assumption?

EDIT: to clarify, pakistan itself is not involved on the killing of tourists, but there is evidence to support that the group that did kill the tourists have complete patronage of pakistan’s army and government and are shielded by them.

the intel or its source is not shared publicly yet, though. nobody can say for sure why it hasn’t been shared yet but the conjecture is that it’s to protect a sensitive set of sources based in pakistan from retaliation.

india has put itself on the backfoot. fighting this war is like trying to wrestle with a pig–india will only muddy itself while the pig loves it. they wouldn’t put themselves in such a position unless there was compelling evidence to do so.

separately, this isn’t the first attack on indian civilians by members of groups sheltered in pakistan by all their official and legal machinery. this isn’t even the first successful such attack.

these attacks are akin to the september 11 attacks on the twin towers (in that innocent civilians are targeted by a deeply planned and coordinated attack with the sole aim to spread fear and terror). and that was reason enough for the usa to conduct an operation in pakistan’s heartland to “get” osama (who himself was sheltered by the same people in pakistan’s army and government).

is the fear of this bear why we’re so intent in melting the icecaps?

plus i bet that guy wasn’t wearing briefs.

the cartoonist missed a trick by not having the robot shit its copy from its anus.

how did you get the metal rods in the wheels so straight?

maybe you spoke too fast?

“let’s uproot all these trees and invade this space. and when the roots of the few remaining trees do what they are supposed to do, let’s blame them for ‘ruining’ human infrastructure!”

Proponents say detailed demographic information is crucial for the targeted implementation of India’s social justice programmes, including earmarking nearly half of all university seats and government jobs for socially disadvantaged communities.

some context: people of all the “lower” (sic) castes receive special privileges in the form of reservations for university and government jobs, as well as financial incentives to foster greater equity in society.

the purpose of such a census is to understand how best to administer such programs (rather than perpetuating the social ills of the caste system).

this is the AI model that truly passes the Turing Test.

what even rhymes with “luigi”?

blue squeegee?

No more Temu for me

i think trump is the dickiest prick that ever pissed on a mattress, but that one sentence alone proves that his tariffs are achieving what he said they would achieve.

And giving more tax breaks to companies that stay and sell in the US?

that’s technically what tariffs do. topologically, it’s the same thing: using policy to give a price advantage to domestic producers.

talk about shopping locally and so forth.

talk gets one only so far. when those numbers start to chomp into the household budget, everyone forsakes the “made in…” label in favour of the price tag.

kudos to him. he even made sure that the bottom-right square is white!
