No damage to books by a bear. Closer home, damaging books seem to be the only way to communicate
A curious black bear was caught on security camera walking around a local library in California, hours before the facility opened. No damage to books was reported but the bear did find its way into snacks for library staff

Reliance responds to @elonmusk allegations on Starlink delays. Says its own satellite awaits Govt nod. @RIL_Updates @reliancejio @livemint Replugging an explainer on the battle bet @Starlink @airtelindia #Jio 🔗livemint.com/companies/elon-… @jatingroverr
Statement from Reliance Industries In light of recent remarks about Reliance and the Indian market, we wish to place the facts on record. Like every Indian enterprise, Reliance has grown in an India that welcomes investment and innovation, homegrown or international, that improve the lives of the people. That openness rests on the rule of law. As the Government of India has stated, it applies the same process to every applicant, Indian or foreign. Jio's own satellite services await clearances. At Reliance, we have never feared competition. We see it as the truest test of who serves the customer best. Jio itself entered India's crowded telecom market in 2016 as the newest player, with not a single customer. In just ten years, Jio has earned the trust of over 530 million customers and given Indians some of the best digital infrastructure and most affordable data in the world. We welcome competition in satellite communications, including Starlink. Every player, Jio included, must serve the people of India and abide by the laws and policies of the land.

100 Harvard University alumni issue a statement condemning "police brutality, unlawful detention, and violations of constitutional rights of all peaceful protestors" in Delhi on October 10. They particularly express solidarity with Sr Adv Shadan Farasat (2009 Harvard Law School alumni) who was manhandled by the Delhi police, and CJP Policy Head Mehr Pasricha (Harvard Kennedy School, 2025) who was detained. "We call upon the government and all law enforcement authorities to immediately cease and desist from all violations of constitutional rights, respect rights to peaceful protest and access to legal assistance, and ensure that those responsible for abuses are held accountable in accordance with the rule of law," they demand.

A mummy-kasam tweet that will now mean changing story leads.
Starlink is licensed in over 165 countries and has spent five years complying with every single law and requirement of the government of India, so why still no license? Is Ambani the real boss of India?

What is Telecom sector without drama! Last 24 hours started with @airtelindia tariff hike & ended with @elonmusk blaming ‘oligarchs’ in India for regulatory delays. @jatingroverr from @livemint gets the impact. He is at @exploreIMC for scoops as global & Indian firms battle out
