    I sat next to an Indian-American man on a flight from Mumbai to Bangalore last week, and we were talking. He is now a naturalized US citizen and has lived in Columbus Ohio for 25 years. He went back and forth for years and years about whether he was comfortable swearing the oath

    How to explain construction inclusively to San Franciscans: Exclusive language: cranes are used for building new buildings Inclusive language: cranes are used for restoring old materials into structures which could one day become historical landmarks

    Some historical eras I think we are currently in: The Arab Renaissance The Long Stagnation (America) The Chinese Blitz The 2nd Dark Age (Europe) and of course The Indian Economic Revolution

    This is brilliant -- only thing I'd say is that you should add Elon's worst tweet, or maybe have like a qualifier bracket for just bad Elon tweets and the best 2-4 advance as an 8 seed

    Extremely bullish India signal: Have had multiple people here suggest meeting times between 9pm and 1am. Have not heard a single person say the term "work-life balance"

    The time I spent in @ne0liberal project made me very optimistic about the future of the democratic party, after lifelong losers like @cenkuygur have put so much (ineffective) work into ruining its future Its not surprising to see snark from someone who has accomplished so little
