Btw something like this is not surprising in South india. Film stars have done very well in TN and Andhra particularly. NTR did in 1983 in AP with the TDP and MGR with the AIADMK in 1977 in TN. However it's been a long time that an actor was successful and now he might be.
for Americans who want to learn about Indian state elections, the TVK is a new party in Tamil Nadu that was quite literally started fairly recently by a Kollywood actor-turned politician,Vijay. in the span of one election he has basically become on par with the other major Tamil parties
@sharonk.bsky.social this is insane.

People here are being really shitty, including at fellow journalists who've been traumatized, and you will regret those posts. Or should.
Also this does not help your political cause, whatever that might be.

It’s kind of funny that the South Indian version of those European populist slop parties is just parties founded by actors. @sharonk.bsky.social

Zohran’s strategy is pretty simple. It’s basically just showcasing all the positive ways government works for people and all the resources peoples tax money goes to.
Ever wonder how to get rid of a mattress? Or how to find resources for a neighbor in need? Call 311.
311 is contacted 100,000 times every day, 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year. No call is too small.
So on the anniversary of 311 (3/11), I decided to answer some of those calls myself.

why is FL suddenly one of the most expensive states for gasoline? it’s one of the largest gasoline consumers in the country, and has ZERO refining capacity. every gallon has to be shipped in- and right now, Florida is having to outbid other markets to get it. could get worse.

This is exactly what my base case unilateral TACO scenario looks like, fwiw.
WSJ: “Trump told aides he's willing to end the [Iran War] even if the Strait of Hormuz remains largely closed … likely extending Tehran's firm grip on the waterway and leaving a complex operation to reopen it for [later].”
