Biggest achievement of CJP is making dissent cool again. Respect to her struggle but this is exactly why Cjp grabs normies n these people don’t. Normal youth doesn’t talk like this they aren’t serious like this.
fortunately or unfortunately they prefer memes and virality .

All I have understood till now is that muse is way more thought through and dot’s more bare bone. Not really planned out for months keeping consumers in mind.
any hardware incoming??

whether muse charm has a future. My 2 cents:
@boztank @alexandr_wang
1/ someone gets it , charm is not for kids. Pmf would obviously be tested when it arrives but I think we do need an ai native device which will be much smaller than phone And is not a wearable.
some use cases I can think of:

Given Muse’s success, Meta should build an open agent alignment benchmark.
A measurable gut check for whether agents serve users. Ground the safety debate in evidence, not capture.

Limits of feminism is its association with left
Sydney Sweeney is the funniest stress test feminism has ever encountered bc I was taught that tHE PaTriArChY reduces women to their bodies, denies them individual agency and imposes rules on female sexuality based on what everyone else thinks women ought to be. Meanwhile Sydney is independently wealthy, produces her own projects, owns businesses, chooses to monetize her own sexuality, gains power from doing it and appears completely uninterested in anyone’s permission. And somehow the feminist response is thousands of women materializing to explain that her body is AcksHuAllY a collective political resource and she has a responsibility to use it in ways they approve of bc otherwise she’s “setting women back 100 years” (fucking LOL)
So congratulations ladies! You defeated the patriarchy by becoming an enormous decentralized committee of women policing another woman’s sexuality, scolding her for appealing to men and reminding her that her individual choices must remain subordinate to what is best for Women As A Class.
Perhaps the funniest part is that the men supposedly enforcing this grand patriarchal system are mostly standing off to the side like “Sydney seems great, let her cook” while the Feminist Liberation Committee is furiously drafting new regulations for what she’s allowed to do with her own gigantic knockers.
Incredible operation. You guys are fucking killing it. Extremely boss babe. Very liberation. No notes.

Never realised Qazi has more emotional intelligence than our communities. for instance, when you visit a friend mourning loss of his mother you don’t say it’s ok I lost both my parents so your pain is nothing. reconciliation starts with no making our losses a scorecard
He is such a refreshing mix of eccentricity n empathy. Behind all the chaos n comic madness on BB is someone genuinely kind, grounded n articulate, the grace with which he addressed a serious issue showed the person beyond the persona. ❤️🩹✨

I Don’t know one Hindu who has read manusmriti and derives his misogyny from it. But I have met countless followers of a abrahamnic if religions who directly quote from their religious books to justify theirs.
There is something cutely ironic about a man explaining to a woman that she lives in La La Land because she apparently cannot recognise misogyny in the society she actually lives and works in.
I don’t need you to explain patriarchy to me. I experience and challenge it. What I am questioning is your intellectual shortcut of attributing contemporary misogyny to the Manusmriti simply because you have decided it governs minds.
Patriarchy is real. Caste prejudice is real. They must continue to be fought. But India has also undergone enormous social and legal reform, much of it specifically expanding the rights of Hindu women. Acknowledging that progress doesn’t deny misogyny. Pretending the progress never happened denies history.
And patriarchy is hardly confined to Hindu society. Muslim and Christian women in India also encounter patriarchal customs and institutions none of which can plausibly be attributed to Manusmriti. That alone should tell you that patriarchy has multiple religious, cultural, economic and social sources and not one convenient ancient text.
Perhaps begin smashing patriarchy by allowing a woman to disagree with you without explaining her own society and lived experience back to her.

The Grateful Bastards.
A few days ago, Assam was flooded again. Since it occurs every year, I think floods should now be referred to as a season. Summer, Monsoon, Flood, Winter. Just like how we wait for good mangoes in the season of summer, we should also wait for our good lives being uprooted in the season of floods. When you can’t solve it, normalise it. Sounds a bit dark, but reality doesn’t care about empathy. Which is also what I want to discuss today: empathy.
During the floods, there were many posts that went ‘viral’ showing the terror of water. Villages were submerged, people died, dogs were rescued, overall a catastrophe that we should have gotten used to by now. But still the scale manages to shock us every time. The rest of India witnessed all of it via reels sandwiched between kuchus and puchus. There were donation links being put up and people were sharing them all over social media, with captions demanding us to help. “Assam needs you”, “someone help them”, “donate as much as you can”, etc. Some were reposting just the heartbreaking videos. I managed to click all of the donation links that were being put, and over 90% of them were not working. When I asked the resharer of the links, a friend of mine, that it isn’t working, he replied that he didn’t check. And many recent comments showed that none of them checked.
My problem is not with people not donating, my slight issue was with the way everyone was being empathetic towards the cause. It has become easy to be empathetic. You can repost and move on with your day, and you don’t need to care if the links are working. A sad video breaks your heart, you share it, and your heart is fine again. One argument can be that maybe more the views more the attention it will get, but does the argument stand its ground when anything and everything goes viral. Is digital empathy just words?
When the CJP protest ended a week earlier, a few friends of mine were sad because they didn’t get a chance to be there as they were waiting for the weekend. When they were admitting this to me, I laughed, but later I realised all of them were serious. They had scheduled their outrage for Sunday, after gym and before lunch. I am not saying they didn’t feel bad for the students. They genuinely felt bad, they genuinely wanted to be there, and they genuinely were not going to move a Thursday for it. We have built a version of caring that fits neatly into free time, where protests are welcome as long as it checks our availability first. That being said, I, too, didn’t do much; except maybe trying to be a warrior on twitter by fighting against fake news. That’s not enough. But it feels like it is enough. And that’s my problem with internet empathy.
Being empathetic and being grateful is now how people live their lives online. You possibly can’t be grateful for everything, but we try anyway. Grateful for the traffic because it gave me time to sit with my thoughts, grateful for being ghosted because it taught me my worth. Grateful for the rejection, the burnout, the breakup, the fever, and somewhere a man is grateful for his kidney stone and everything it taught him about pain. Every bad thing that happens to us gets converted into content within 48 hours, opening with “grateful for” and closing with folded hands emoji, because we have outsourced our healing to long captions.
Is this the generation of grateful bastards? Probably, but bastards at least know what they are, and we have convinced ourselves that we are something else. That the sharing was the helping, the feeling was the doing, and a heart on a screen is a hand in the water.
Assam will flood again next year, same water and same month and the same reels wedged between the kuchus and the puchus. Nothing will be fixed because nothing needs fixing in a season, a season only needs to be survived. We will repost, we will feel it briefly and honestly, we will be grateful, mostly that it happened on a weekday and somewhere far away.

Use your brain, don't keep going to extremes n then blaming everything on it.
Piyush Mishra is a classic example of why you shouldn't live in extremes.
