Raghuram Rajan is arguing in bad faith. He wants us to succumb to Trump’s bullying. He is deliberately misleading by falsifying facts. He is pointing the finger at Ambani, as the Americans are doing, and implying that it is on account of the profits he makes from importing…

A Tik Toker in fancy dress who calls himself ‘Capt Steeeeve’ (no typo) pops up, smears the just perished AI-171 co-pilot’s reputation in mud & so many Indian TV channels lap up all he says. Engagement farming done, ‘Steeeeve’ reverses his opinion. More views, you see. For…

Easy to imagine what the #WTCFinal win means for South Africa & its beleaguered cricket. It’s also an incredible boost to red ball cricket and for us, the shrinking fan base that still believes Test cricket is the best of all formats.

Although India dwarfs Pakistan in terms of economic and military power, successive Indian govts have allowed Pakistan to gore India with impunity.

A very lucky QSO with HD8G, Galapagos islands. (Op PY2BS) On 23cm eme. 1. Because I had no idea they were qrv and just logged into HB9Q logger by chance. 2. The moon was at 12 degrees elevation and signals obscured by my house 3. His moonrise coincided with my maximum elevation.
