Elon Musk Congratulates PM Modi on Becoming the Most-Followed World Leader on X
Elon Musk, the tech billionaire, congratulated Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday for becoming the most-followed world leader on the social media platform X. Musk celebrated Modi’s achievement in a post, stating, “Congratulations PM @NarendraModi on being the most followed world leader!”
With over 100.1 million followers on X, PM Modi stands out as one of the platform’s most prominent figures. After reaching this milestone earlier in the week, Modi expressed gratitude for the platform and its ability to foster diverse connections. He shared, “A hundred million on @X! Enjoying the conversation, debate, ideas, blessings from others, constructive criticism, and much more on this lively platform,” and expressed enthusiasm for continued engagement with the X community, saying he looks forward to “an equally engaging time in the future.”
In addition to his success on X, PM Modi has a strong presence on other social media platforms, with nearly 25 million subscribers on YouTube and over 91 million followers on Instagram, showcasing his ability to connect meaningfully with a large audience across various media.
Notable leaders with substantial followings on X include Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who has 21.5 million followers, and US President Joe Biden, who boasts 38.1 million followers.

Nico saying that Lewis gives his daughters boxes of presents every Christmas just got caught in my mind.
Imagine you were a mixed race boy born in Hertfordshire, different from everyone else around you. Bullied in school, being raised by your father to compete in a sport where money is very much of essence and you and your family do not have a lot of it. And then you meet this other boy who comes from the kind of life you dream to live one day. You're friends and fierce competitors. You find solace in each other. You visit Monaco for the first time with your friend, dreaming up the life you will have when you make it, when you beat out of the mould that the world thought it could capture you in.
And then you two grow through the ranks and you're at the pinnacle of your sport and you have what it takes to win and the world recognises that you can win. And you win. You win with your friend and fiercest competitor by your side fighting with you for those wins, and this fighting ruins something something that was valuable to both of you when you were still innocent and unsullied by life.
But despite everything that went into the doing and undoing of this relationship, you still realise that this person you once called a friend has a life and family beyond your bitter dynamic. He has children, and children need love and affection and good memories. And you're a better man now so you understand that. So you make sure the kids get gifts on Christmas. And you make sure of it every year. Afterall, if you met someone you loved deeply when you were both kids, wouldn't you feel a pang of nostalgia when they had kids. Wouldn't you try to extend the warmth that you couldn't find for your friend to his children. Afterall, whatever happens during childhood basically remains with you forever.
#and nico's perspective of the same is just#being bullied as a child and being profoundly lonely till you find this friend who is in many ways the yardstick for performance#and even when you go through all this rancidity and the love has almost evaporated down to bare bones politeness#you know there is something that remains deep down#and so he gets your kids Christmas gifts each year#both their childhoods were sites of pain and both of them found something with each other#and lewis honours that by being a positive presence in nico's childrens' lives#albeit from a distance#and of course we're no strangers to how much Nico loves his kids#you can bet if Lewis had kids Nico would do that same#sorry this caught in my heart a little#I knew he had been giving presents for a while and I always thought of that as very beautiful but seeing it on the tl made me remember#man#love haunts you in such peculiar ways forever#brocedes#lewis hamiton#nico rosberg#f1#formula 1

baby arc bigger. the arcs/wheel will connect where they typically do, eventually, but this is a not quite mature design. i like to roll w "pla protag is dppt protag" bc i think it is fun, and this arceus went with akari when she went back to the future. they are wearing akari/dawns survey scarf :)
#they can access their bag w light based hand/arm constructs. they figured out how to do those recently#they ARE very polite btw. a very pleasant young ladsie#i think that they are generally just called ark. the letter difference bc i call original arceus arc sometimes#they are both their own person and an extension of the original arceus#arc doesnt bother controlling them and ark is like. aware of its presence as it views the world from their eyes#baby arc#pokemon#arceus#sketch

Currently living in a blue state but having to vote (blue) for a red state is... such a horrible feeling. I have no sway, my vote isn't going to win against my state, but I still did it. Even knowing that my extended family are all voting red and I'll have to face them eventually and have to look in the faces of my aunts who did this. Having to look in the faces of my family as someone who they've doomed politically.
Another thing about voting in a different state than the one that I'm living in means that I have no say in the politics of the state that I plan to live in for as long as possible. Its... disconcerting.
#fox talks#us politics#itll take a minute#but im condident enough in who i am that i will delight in shaming my extendes family for wha theyve done#ive come to delight in the possible doscomfort that my presence will bring them#im still scared#i dont know if im ever not going to be#and im fucking tired

I've seen a lot of people theorise that Nanaya is the one to bring Midra down the path of Frenzied Flame and that she was purposefully manipulating him but like...he apologises to her before becoming a Lord—she told him to endure the pain because enduring it kept him from becoming a Lord and he states in his cutscene that he could endure it no longer.
I would be all for an attractive dead woman to be evil, but the story of Midra and Nanaya is anything but that.

The leftism leaving people's bodies when they tell them not to watch a boycotted MCU project that whitewashes multiple characters again and also puts their (erased) Jewish and Rromani characters in a fucking oven because they have lesbians and I guess the MCU invented lesbians no way we could get more authentic representation from anywhere else that isn't fasciliating a genocide and is currently on an active boycott list.
#brieuc.txt#agatha all along#MCU#Yeah I am putting this in the tags that's how fucking annoyed I am#Boycott does not mean pirate and continue as usual it means BOYCOTT#It is a POLITICAL ACTION to ensure something gets no social presence outside of it's connection to genocide#You are all spineless cowards. Frankly.

Y’know I think all of Char’s divorces could be explained by him being aroallo and trying his best to be alloallo because he doesn’t realize he’s aroallo. But also I’m not sure the world is ready for rep like that
#because like. it’s an extension of his he tries to conform to people’s beliefs thoughts on who he should be#so at military school everyone thinks he and Garma should be a power couple. so he does his best to be that kind of boyfriend with Garma#and then the aristocracy thinks he should have an awkwardly younger bride that he marries for political power. so he seduces Haman#and then Reccoa thinks he should be a domineering presence in her life but at this point it’s been YEARS and he can’t keep up the act any#longer because he DOESN’T feel that way!#and nobody really expects him and Amuro to have a relationship so what they have both isn’t romantic and is more genuine than any other#relationship Char had! but he’s already burnt himself out so horribly trying to be who everybody wants him to be. so he goes and he makes#his own faction so that he’ll be able to have death by Amuro#but like. it’s too easy to read that as “oh aroallo people are evil and manipulative about their relationships’’ instead of “Char Aznable#is always trying to play the part someone else wrote for him and that causes massive tragedy when he reaches spots where he CAN’T play that#part because he doesn’t have those feelings and a lot of pain would’ve been solved if he hadn’t had to act like he did have them’’#this I say#mobile suit gundam#char aznable#meta#<- I guess?#oh damn I made a typo in that first tag. how he not his he

If I've learned anything in my like two or something years on Tumblr it's that if somebody has wizard in the URL you should block on sight lest you be subjected to the least funny "I'm justa little creacher" "feral goblin" "thats so gender" *insert simultaneous self-deprocating/self aggrandizing joke here* or overly-positive posts that just come across as disingenuous in a way that points to a truly rotten soul which is overcompensating and overall just the most exhausting humor you will ever see dispersed between e-begging posts from men who wanna get breast implants
#Oh. And don't forget the most jarding part: the presence of pseudointellectual political posts that read exactly like the result of#someone who attempted to develop their critical thinking abilities via video essays about the politics of children's media. Ykwim#*Jarring....#and by 'the politics of childrens media' I mean youtube videos titled '____ is TRASH and here's why'#as well as like. Over-investment in fandom discourse... some posts just reek of 'grew up writing fandom callout posts'

Okay, stick with me here. S2 AU where Farah was not removed and remains in her position as Headmistress but it's tenuous as all heck. Farah is gilded in glory as a Headmistress who kept her school together amidst the Burned One attacks, and the mentor of Bloom, but Luna is on the attack. She's lost confidence in Farah and just needs one wrong move to get rid of her.
But Farah wants to force Luna's hand. She wants Solarian aid, not just in rooting out what's going in with the scrapers but with the search for Rosalind Hale (it's not widely known that Rosalind is alive, nor that she's a psychopath, of course) - so far Saul has been coordinating that on his own. Farah is dogmatic that Rosalind must be found and apprehended, even if it means blackmailing Luna on exposing Aster Dell.
She chooses the Alumni Dinner to do it. Make it a public show, Luna can't say no, etc etc. Luna has to pledge support. Except, Luna has her own plans. Given that students are missing and there are creatures that Farah has no answers for, Luna has enlisted someone who does know what they are facing and is fully prepared to take on a post at Alfea, specifically to do so. Someone considered a war hero and previously lost.
At the Alumni Dinner, Luna brings out Rosalind.
After all, Farah wanted support... didn't she?
#fate the winx saga#farah dowling#the brainrot came back#ask me questions i'm trying to figure this out#but yes just imagine farah trying to be all composed and then BAM you bring out her enemy and farah has to be POLITE to her#not only that - but GRATEFUL for her presence#when farah feels like there's a 80/20 chance rosalind is connected to these attacks in the first place

are there any books you'd recommend for Isabelle of Angouleme?
Hi! I’m really not an expert on Isabella of Angouleme so I'm probably not the best person to ask for recommendations for her. Here are some I've heard of, though I haven't read all of them:
"Isabella of Angouleme: John's Jezebel" by Nicholas Vincent (King John: New Interpretations). I haven't read it myself but I've heard good things!
“Maternal Abandonment and Surrogate Caregivers: Isabella of Angoulême and Her Children by King John” by Louise J. Wilkinson (Virtuous or Villainess? The Image of the Royal Mother from the Early Medieval to the Early Modern Era). It focuses more-so on Isabella's tenure as queen, the period shortly after John's death, and her decision to leave England. Despite what the title may imply, it's sympathetic to Isabella and analyzes her situation in detail.
“Co-Operation, Co-Rulership and Competition: Queenship in the Angevin Domains 1135-1230” by Gabrielle Storey, her PHD thesis which collectively focuses on Isabella of Angouleme along with Empress Matilda, Eleanor of Aquitaine, and Berengaria of Navarre. You can read/download it here, it's an excellent piece for all four women.
Sally Spong has written/is writing:
Isabella of Angouleme: The Vanished Queen (Norman to Early Plantagenet Consorts). You can see her conclusion here. It's nuanced and sympathetic, though not without its issues and pre-conceived notions.
Isabella of Gloucester and Isabella of Angouleme: Female Lordship, Queenship, Power, and Authority 1189-1220 (PHD thesis University of East Anglia).
“Isabelle d’Angouleme, By the Grace of God, Queen” by William Chester Jordan. You can read it online here, though I will say that it's ... very very questionable, accepting the sensational claims of lot of unreliable sources (including the idea of John abducting Isabella in a fit of uncontrollable infatuation) entirely at face-value.
“The Marriage and Coronation of Isabelle of Angouleme” by H.G. Richardson, available here on JSTOR.
Isabella has also been the subject of two complete French biographies till date:
"Isabelle d’Angoulême, reine d’Angleterre" (Aquitaine: 1998) by Sophie Fougere.
"Isabelle d’Angoulême, comtesse-reine et son temps (1186-1246)" [Actes du colloque tenu à Lusignan, 8 au 10 novembre 1996] by Gabriel Biancotto, Robert Favreau and Piotr Skubiszewski.
There are also a few blog posts about her (here and here) which may help if you want a brief overview of her life, though they can get a little sensationalistic sometimes.
Hope this helps! If anyone knows any others, please feel free to add on!
#I'm so sorry it took so long to answer! I'll add more if I find them#ask#Isabella of Angouleme#angevins#Sally Spong's chapter on Isabella is...complicated#It's detailed and sympathetic and I think it highlights some interesting aspects of Isabella's life#But it's also dependent on her own very fixed pre-conceived notions re Isabella's role as queen#Spong takes issue with other historians' observations about Isabella but...doesn't actually try to debunk the views herself?#It ends up seeming as though she's deliberately missing the point#And I think by reading things in the best possible light she ends up downplaying what may have been complicated experiences for Isabella#For example she disagrees with the idea that John was constraining Isabella's role by highlighting her ceremonial presence at court#But historians like Wilkinson HAVE highlighted this as well and emphasized how the 'ceremonial importance of Isabella's position as queen#consort and the dynastic significance of her maternity' were recognized and honored#But that does not discount or nullify the way Isabella's role does seem to have been constrained elsewhere by John#Namely her lack of control over her lands (many of which were granted away by John) and probable lack of access to queen's gold#Along with her absence from charters and the notable lack of prayers for her welfare save a single exception in 1204#Spong also disagrees with the idea that Isabella was excluded from her son's governance after John's death by highlighting her#presence at his coronation and (months later) at the peace talks between England and France#Which is - again - sort of missing the point??#*Yes* - Isabella's presence in both those occasions is certainly interesting and important when talking about her life#But that does not change the fact that Isabella seems to have been either remote or excluded from central government#She was not directing or working with the council in terms of governance but seems to have been at a distance from power#Which is made even more clear when we look at her charters: her witness lists were comprised of more or less politically insignificant#figures and included no men associated with her son's regency council#It's a striking contrast to the former roles that Empress Matilda and Eleanor of Aquitaine had for their sons#With those very dynamic precedents in place I do think Isabella's remoteness from her son's government is very notable#And I feel like that's...very important when discussing her decision to return to Angouleme?#But because Spong is keen to view Isabella's circumstances in the best light possible she sort of dismisses these discussions#& potential difficulties#It got rather frustrating to read

THE BEST OF THE NORMANDY SUMMIT
Featuring: Cmdr. Sophie Shepard, Primarch Adrien Victus, Dalatrass Linron, and Urdnot Wrex With: Comm. Specialist Samantha Traynor Commander, you need to keep Cerberus at bay- I can't overstate what a victory a treaty between the Turians and the Krogan would be for the Alliance. We need all the help we can get... Mass Effect 3: Legendary Edition (2021)
#mira makes gifs ✨#sophie shepard#urdnot wrex#samantha traynor#mass effect#mass effect 3#me3#mass effect legendary edition#dailygaming#finally got around to gif'ing the sur'kesh footage and i ended up splitting it in half bc the summit just had too many good wrex moments#by best of: the normandy summit i really just mean best of: wrex bc this is literally just every wrex moment from the summit LMAO#i was gonna stuff this in with the priority sur'kesh set but literally when i had like 10 gifs of just the summit i was like#sur'kesh is getting the mars split bc wrex has too many good moments to just start cutting half of them out tbh#also victus in his fancy primarch robes with THAT VOICE??? i'm not down bad for most turians but DAMN victus#maybe we talk about how fucking real he was for hearing wrex say that the krogan were the ones who spilled their blood to stop the rachni#and immediately looked at the dalatrass and said that wrex was fucking right#and then said that the dalatrass was helping wrex or she'd never see another friendly turian again?? like he's a fucking ICON for that tbh#and soph in the dress blues????? HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT (mass effect women in uniforms and armor ���)#her angy face coming back at the dalatrass to defend wrex is everything to me#and wrex's expressions during the summit are so fucking good#there's so much raw emotion on his face that you can see and you can tell how like angry and frustrated he is with the dalatrass and victus#and how much he's holding back!! especially when linron insults him!! when she basically calls his people useless!!#like there's just a thousand+ years of pent up krogan rage about the genophage just boiling behind wrex's eyes#and he somehow manages to keep somewhat cool during the summit? like obvi wrex isn't a thousand+ years old but he's his people's rep#he's such a fucking interesting character especially during this scene when you think about a thousand+ years of the genophage#bc you get to watch him balance keeping his cool in a political situation he's a leader in#vs. remembering he's a krogan in the presence of the leadership of the people who literally created a sterility plague for his people??#and the raw emotions of that for him???#wrex my love you deserve the world for dealing with the summit in the cool-headed way that you did bc it was 100% bullshit for you#canon soph would have thrown the dalatrass off the normandy so fucking fast for insulting wrex and his people and you cannot change my mind

hmm what a nuanced take, I wonder what Georgians themselves think about "selling the country to the EU"
by Talos this can't be happening
#it's almost as if the EU actually objectively offers things that the people of Georgia would like to have access to. woah#you don't have to like th EU or approve of it but the way MLs feel comfortable talking about places they have zero relation to#and completely removing the PEOPLE of those places and the POLITICS of those people is genuinely insane#like I'm sorry you can't fathom how a country of 2 mil people has a serious demographic crisis that their gov is worsening#because young people are VERY EU-oriented and the gov is trying to drag them all back to the USSR you want to cosplay#p: mine#and no; the EU won't magically help anything. as evidenced here; amongst other places#but that doesn't change the fact that the people of Georgia know what they want and it doesn't align with what foreigners think is best#besides; NATO has a presence there since 2008. pretending 'western interests' are some kind of novelty is bullshit lol

the absence of horatios in hamlet adaptations somehow feels gayer than their presence
#like you feel the presence of this One Guy will distract from the core of what you’re doing here and delegitimise the relationship between#hamlet and ophelia#i agree that that shouldn’t be the main theme but also his absence is loud and unless a production works really hard at it#it’s a noticeable decision that can lead to a work feeling less complex than it could be#because unless you’re doing something interesting with his absence#anyone who’s engaging with the work is just going to be like oh they took away a whole figure within the story huh wonder what they’re#going to do with its absence#and too often the answer is sorta nothing?#besides increased political commentary#which is great but also you’re just like why couldn’t you do that and have this figure here#and the best answer I can think of is that there are gay implications#which is. something#give hamlet weird little buddies 2k24#love increased Ophelia time but it’s hard to be like woah their relationship is so asymmetrical (which these productions have been angling#for) when seemingly this is the relationship hamlet pours the whole of himself into with only brief moments of disrespect that are weird#when that’s not played right#it feels disconcordant#aargh

At this point I’d rather the goyim collectively shut up about Jewish history rather than pulling out random and extremely internally debated facts around minhag or antisemitic expulsion to be ve tu wrong about very loudly, like just, please. Focus on the ceasefire. Idk how this form of “allyship” is supposed to help anyone
#Too many examples to name it’s just exhausting#Might be the mix of the words *indigenous Palestinian jews*#*jews had no physical presence in Palestine until herzl*#Pick a side???#Also next person who treats *ashkenazi* as interchangeable with usamerican wasp owes me 18#000 usd. Like why are you doing this#I know you want to show allyship (sometimes) or something and prove political points but it’s jsut strange
