shivering in the long winter 🥶

Indians and Pakistanis online behind a keyboard and a militarized border: “saala m*lla!” “gaand maare paje*t” Indians and Pakistanis the second they meet each other abroad:
I get why fobs get mad at “South Asian” but if you’re born in America and get mad at it you’re beyond help. Indians, Pakistanis, Bangladeshis, etc. intermarry and intermingle freely in the US. What else you want to call us you want to assign me a caste too?

I think there's a thesis here about the correlation between India's socioeconomic regression and the state of its film industry.

Just talked to an insider. Apparently a woman was escorted out of NVIDIA headquarters after arriving in a wedding dress and demanding to speak to whoever was responsible for the Blackwell architecture. She claims the company has been sending her signals through the stock price. Security offered her a bottle of water. She asked if Jensen was single.

Many Hindu identitarians & nationalists treat their own religion/culture like a fandom, debase it by reducing its great works to the level of MCU blockbuster AI slop, treat the slop as sacred, then complain when anyone notices that the results are bad.
With Ramayana: Rise of a Legend, a majestic epic falls victim to clunky action, eye-sore CGI, and awkward AI lip-syncing in what is, unfortunately, just a Part 1. Our review: bit.ly/3WW1Rfh

for *years* (starting from when i was 10 to when i moved out, and even now whenever i'm back) my father and I had a custom every week for sitting down together once a week during dinner and watching an episode of Star Trek (mostly TNG & DS9 but sometimes others) together...

but also with a deep suspicion and skepticism that "human" is a sufficiently wide category to define "each individual sapient agent" (or indeed, that any defined category could be sufficient) I just got all of that from Star Trek: The Next Generation. Thank you, Patrick Stewart

not at all surprising but nonetheless still interesting to me that the rise in vocalized animus towards Indian people has also corresponded with a clearly visible rise in the fetishization of Indian women

quite honestly i don't mind being fetishized (for being trans or for being Indian) on account of having a somewhat low self-esteem. but because it's only *somewhat* low i can only tolerate the self-aware and jovial kind of it. which it usually isn't

you all know I'm a Charli stan but I'll defend that tweet specifically because Kamala is very much Brat (vague vibes based self-confidence, is on drugs)
Kamala Harris: Don't ever let anybody take your power from you. Don't ever let anybody tell you who you are. You tell them who you are

everyone saying “horrible wording” but this is great wording. this is exactly what we mean. the fate of the culture war hinges on the outlook of your third or fourth dimmest pothead high school classmate

If you’re a man and you want to chop your cock off and be a woman, I simply do not care. If you’re a woman and want to grow a cock, by all means, have it. Go be whatever the fuck you want. I support your right to do whatever it is you want with your body. It’s none of my business. I don’t care. Why are you coming at me about this??? Do you understand how crazy you come off just messaging me about this random shit? Go do something productive.

no one wants to fund my Bengali-American Boondocks spinoff where Granddad LARPs as Mukti Bahini and besties with Mujibur Rahman, Tom DuBois is a "proud Indian American" Kolkata Muslim, Huey is a woke MSA-DSA axis slam poet, and Riley is a UK drill-obsessed dawah bro

Uncle Ruckus is of course a Jamaati with the most obviously spurious claim to Sayyid status in existence. Ed Wuncler is a greedy Brahmin landlord. Ed Wuncler III and Gin Rummy are Presidency College jholawala dropouts who LARP as D-Company affiliates.
