Where Should I Stand on an Escalator? We Indians... learn and adapt quickly, especially when someone explains the reasoning behind rules. With that in mind, we're starting a new series on basic etiquette in public space. Today, let’s talk about escalator etiquette. While you can technically stand anywhere—left, right, or centre—standing on one side and leaving the other side free for those who wish to walk is considered proper etiquette. In India, since we drive on the left, it’s best to stand on the left side of the escalator and leave the right side clear for people in a hurry. This practice is followed in many countries and makes movement smoother for everyone. This might help someone catch a train, which he would have missed waiting on the escalator. If you're in a country where driving is on the right, simply switch sides: stand on the right and leave the left side clear. Small changes like this make a big difference in creating a more considerate public space.show more

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Russia is preparing to mobilize up to 300,000... additional troops for the war against Ukraine, although the final decision has not yet been taken, RBC-Ukraine reports, citing sources within intelligence agencies. ▪️ All mechanisms required for a new wave of mobilization are already prepared, but Moscow is hesitating because of the expected serious economic and social fallout. ▪️ The legal basis for mobilization is already in place (the 2022 decree remains active), however the current contract-based recruitment system is effectively “running on fumes.” Despite a clear imbalance, it is barely managing to compensate for losses. ▪️ A large-scale mobilization would also pose major political risks for the Kremlin — due to possible spikes in domestic social tensions and further strain on the labor market, which is already suffering from a severe shortage of workers.show more

MaskINT: Video Editing via Interpolative Non-autoregressive Masked Transformers paper... page: Recent advances in generative AI have significantly enhanced image and video editing, particularly in the context of text prompt control. State-of-the-art approaches predominantly rely on diffusion models to accomplish these tasks. However, the computational demands of diffusion-based methods are substantial, often necessitating large-scale paired datasets for training, and therefore challenging the deployment in practical applications. This study addresses this challenge by breaking down the text-based video editing process into two separate stages. In the first stage, we leverage an existing text-to-image diffusion model to simultaneously edit a few keyframes without additional fine-tuning. In the second stage, we introduce an efficient model called MaskINT, which is built on non-autoregressive masked generative transformers and specializes in frame interpolation between the keyframes, benefiting from structural guidance provided by intermediate frames. Our comprehensive set of experiments illustrates the efficacy and efficiency of MaskINT when compared to other diffusion-based methodologies. This research offers a practical solution for text-based video editing and showcases the potential of non-autoregressive masked generative transformers in this domain.show more

Warren Mundine on the 7:30 report. Boasting about the... referendum results still. Now he is claiming that those who supported the Yes vote, have lost the support of Aboriginal people. What planet is he living on? Didn’t he see the results from Indigenous communities? Indigenous communities voted overwhelmingly in favour of a voice to parliament. That is a fact. The No side ran a campaign on misinformation and disinformation. Yes, they spent less money. But they got the support from News Corp for no cost at all. Who campaigned for the No side for months. So there’s that. And that goes without saying. NewsCorp always works with the Liberal Party’s narrative. So they let Dutton and others say whatever, whilst doing PR for him because he made it about politics. Analysts from News Corp’s reporting through the referendum confirms this also. Winning something through lying and confusing people, isn’t an authentic campaign. And selling out to further yourself is just as bad.show more

U.S.-backed dictatorship openly admits to more human rights violations.... Ecuador’s Minister of Interior, John Reimberg, said that the power outages that citizens have been reporting this week are in fact intentionally engineered by the military in the regions where operations, one of which resulted in a young man being tortured to death, are taking place in collaboration with the U.S. SOUTHCOM. I remind this government, which is stupid enough to admit this on national TV, that denying a population access to electricity as collective punishment for the criminal activities of *some* is explicitly illegal under international law, especially during an armed conflict/state of war as this government has declared it. This occurs days after a UN investigation and 8 UN experts sounded the alarm on the torture and repression of this U.S. puppet regimeshow more

Harry making the radical claim about why it’s too... dangerous for Meghan Markle to go to the U.K., while not being pressured on why he’ll take her to Jamaica and Nigeria. He also is not challenged on how his wife’s accusations of racism multiple times via Oprah Winfrey and Omid Scobie could have increased the threat against the members of the royal family, especially Catherine, The Princess of Wales, and King Charles. Just a reminder, the only British royal that Trump’s would be assassin investigated was Catherine. Queen Elizabeth was also the target of a would be assassin motivated by a racist moment in history in Christmas 2021. Harry lives in the land of delusion, fueled by Meghan Markle, who wants to keep Harry separated from his family as much as possible. Do they have an occasional security risk, perhaps, but I think she’s at most risk of boos and at the most eggs. And most critically, Harry fails to realize that the two most responsible for the negative press he cites as the reason for this risk is HIMSELF and HIS WIFE. He AND Meghan have fueled the negative stories. He AND Meghan have behaved appallingly over the last several years. He AND Meghan mocked the Queen on Netflix. The media is not at fault, Harry, you are.show more

When an ex-orphan brings her new calf home, do... our Keepers get to greet the baby? Sometimes – and it's entirely up to the mother. Some, like Nasalot here, walk straight up to a familiar Keeper and let them meet the calf. Keeper Benjamin had been a part of Nasalot’s journey every step of the way since she was rescued as an infant in 2000. Today, Nasalot is all grown up and living wild but she and her family continue to visit their human-elephant family on a regular basis. Other new mothers keep the calf at a careful distance and let the Keepers observe from the side. Whatever they decide, the fact that orphans make this pilgrimage home at all is the gesture of trust. Just seeing them, thriving as a mother and a matriarch, is the reward for years of care and many sleepless nights.show more

🚨 THE STARLINK MYTH SHATTERED: Why Iran’s "Jamming" is... a Wake-Up Call for India The "unstoppable" internet just hit a wall. Reports confirm Iran has successfully JAMMED Elon Musk’s Starlink during nationwide protests, likely with military-grade tech supplied by Russia or China. The dream that US Tech oligarchs can remotely trigger "regime change" has turned into a nightmare blackout. The "Freedom Tool" Failed Musk & the US establishment sold Starlink as a weapon against "dictators." But when faced with serious Electronic Warfare (EW) from peers like Russia/China, the satellites went dark. The result? Activists exposed, communications cut, and the regime remains. The Proxy War in Space This isn't just Iran vs. Protesters. This is Russia & China vs. US Tech. They just proved they can neutralize America's premier civilian-military asset. If they can blind Starlink in Iran, they can do it anywhere. The WARNING for India This is exactly why India must NOT hand over its skies to Starlink without an ironclad "Kill Switch" of its own. We cannot rely on a network that can be jammed by China or switched off by the US at will. If Starlink bypasses Indian laws, who controls the data? Who controls the narrative? Support Made-in-India tech (JioSpace, OneWeb/Bharti). Build our own fortress, don't rent one from Elon. A sovereign nation cannot run its critical comms on a foreign billionaire’s hobby project. India needs PARTNERS, not MASTERS.

Everytime you see the "Where is Kate Middleton?" and... the conspiracies, smile my dears, because there is a greater implication here. After 5 months of public Bullying, Press pressures, Public Pressures and Palace pressures, NO ONE can tell you anything tangible about the princess; not the press, not the courtiers, no one. Prince William has indeed remained Catherine's Relentless protector and defender🔥 He has kept his promise to Catherine that •she would have surgery in complete privacy; •be in and out of the hospital in complete privacy; • Be back home to recover in complete privacy; • That he would take care of their children and handle everything while she focus on her recovery on complete privacy🤩 We are 5 months into 2024, and Catherine, as the Most High Profile future Queen in the World, has enjoyed a privacy that was not given to any other royal women or wife of an Heir apparent EVER in History. This is not thanks to the press; this is not even thanks to the Palace. It is because her Husband has refused to serve her on a platter and has not let himself be cowered by outside nor inside pressures on him to relent. As his mentor and Frmr Private secretary Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton already said of Him: "William was always someone of deeply impressive maturity[...] There are many examples of when I worked for William where it would have been very easy to take one route, but it wouldn’t have been the honorable or the right thing to do; so he took the more difficult route."❤️ Prince William proved his private secretary right indeed. He chose the most difficult path when it came to protecting Catherine because it was the right thing to do. The Easiest path would have been to give the press what they want: access to Catherine to take her pictures so they can make money of her and dissect her ad nauseam while she recovers. Instead, he chose to do the one thing that would anger them and bring their wrath on him: He gave them No access and No explanations🔥 William EVEN dared to take a mother's day picture of his OWN wife and children HIMSELF; How dare he..😏🤡 The Fact is, Catherine has Privacy ONLY because Prince William held strong for his family to remain at peace during this time of turmoil. In 2012 during their Pacific Royal tour, Catherine was once again victim of the Press attacks and violation of her privacy when the french magazine, The Closer, published topless pictures of her while on vacation with William. The DM editor, Rebecca English, quizzed him about the situation and it was then that Prince William revealed that Prior to marrying her, he had given his word to her parents that he would protect her at all costs and take care of her; a promise he continues to stand by❤️ Just this month, a friend of the RF revealed pretty much nothing to People Mag when he said that "Prince William is keeping his inner circle tight during a challenging chapter." The Source added: "He is not leaning on too many others"😏 Another source closer to the Wales said: "The Prince of Wales is relying heavily on the "nuclear family unit" of his immediate family of five and Kate’s supportive family: her parents Carole and Michael Middleton and her siblings Pippa and James"🔥 Who could blame him? He has to keep quiet since he knows everyone wants to know what he knows. So he is right to rely on the people who will never betray him nor Catherine: The Middletons. A daft post was asking "why are the Middletons not asking where their daughter is?" Why would they, Dimmy?🤡 They know exactly where she is and probably what she ate today. The Middletons have do not talk because they KNOW what is going on and are protecting their OWN Daughter, alongside William😏 So when you see people asking where she is, remember that the Future King kept his promise to his Wife; and a Man who will keep his promises to his wife and children, will keep his promises to his country and to the Monarchy☕️ 📹Tokkianamishow more

The new argument they’re trying to push about Suwayda,... the mountainous extension of the highly fertile Hawran region, is that it is supposedly an entirely barren area with no viable agriculture whatsoever. It is an amusing claim, considering that (1) much of the region’s population historically depended on agriculture (and many still do, despite declining rainfall in recent years having severely affected local farmers), and (2) large parts of the region look like what you see in the video below. Then I suddenly remembered that one of the first complaints surrounding the impasse between the new authorities in Damascus and the local authorities in Suwayda, well before the massacres, came from local farmers demanding a resolution so they could resume exporting their produce outside the province. I looked into it further and came across this report by Sham TV from February 2025: apparently, farmers in Suwayda were complaining that they had 17,000 tons (yes, you read that correctly!) of apples stored in cold storage facilities, with no clear way to sell or export them because of the ongoing impasse. So much for an entirely barren region, after all… 🤦‍♂️ P.S. There are many reasons why a landlocked region with a relatively small population like Suwayda may not be viable as an independent state. The absence of viable agriculture is simply not one of them.show more

Note: When the government is asked why it scrapped... Parandur, one of the most common responses, apart from “DMK bought land,” is that building a new airport at Parandur would be dangerous because it could make Chennai flood. But they conveniently avoid the engineering part the fact that many of these risks can potentially be mitigated through proper engineering. To no one's surprise, social media yesterday was flooded with these two narratives, convincing people that anyone supporting the airport must be a DMK supporter or a real-estate lobbyist, while the opposition is apparently hopeless here. Look at Navi Mumbai Airport, which opened this year. An entire hill was levelled, swampy land was reclaimed using the debris, and the Ulwe River was diverted to make the project possible,Then why can’t the same engineering solutions be applied in Parandur? 📸: Dravidian Insightsshow more
