Wars in Europe and the Middle East and a severe El Nino are amplifying price pressures across Asia, likely fanning inflation through next year and keeping central banks on guard, according to the Asian Development Bank. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2026/09/23/economy/asia-inflation-2027-adb/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #economy #economy #economicindicators #asia #southeastasia #inflation #southasia #india

In this thread I'm documenting my #OpenStreetMap edits in Mandawali (#Delhi, #India), starting from sporadic edits in 2023 to near-daily edits in 2025. I used Vespucci almost exclusively.
If you like my contributions, perhaps you'd like to help me pay my bills too? 👉👈 😇

Something you won't see discussed re: the #USA striking #Iran : spillovers.
What might happen next:
- the USA strikes North #Korea
- #China escalate the East China Sea & South China Sea issues
- China attack #Israel & #US allies to protect its interests in Iran
- The #AxisOfEvil activates
- China can also choose to escalate the war between #India and #Pakistan
- there is still the war between #Russia and #Ukraine
You won't see it discussed because #PacificAsia & the larger #AsiaPacific don't matter to most people saying their piece about the wars in the #MiddleEast .
Now that the USA joined the war against Iran, we are now dangerously close to #WorldWarIII #WorldWar3 #WWIII #WW3 , it all comes down to the next action of the freaking colonial mentality USA and superstitious China (a.k.a. Dragon Emperor myth).
The FDA Finally Visited an Indian Drug Factory Linked to U.S. Deaths. It Found Problems.

The inspection comes after a ProPublica investigation revealed that drugs made at the Glenmark Pharmaceuticals plant accounted for an outsized share of U.S. recalls for pills that didn’t dissolve properly and could harm people.

My next bike journey to India begins tomorrow.
As always, it begins with a departure date (January 29, 2026?) and a rough itinerary, but most importantly, with the charity project.
This time, too, the journey will begin in Valdagno, Vicenza, and tomorrow is the big day.

ACAB se ha convertido en el slogan de Internet para denunciar el abuso policial.
Se ve que incluso en el campo subversivo, contestatario, el mundo anglosajón logra imponer su hegemonía cultural, y cada ACAB evoca hoy, sobre todo, las fechorías de las policías estadounidenses.
Mientras, desde el tercer mundo profundo, surgen otras denuncias del abuso policial extremo, no tan espectaculares como los shorts de las detenciones los ICE pero quizás más representativas de cómo lo sufre la mayor parte de la población mundial.
Hablo en concreto de “Santosh”, la película de la directora británica-india Sandhya Suri que representa al Reino Unido en los Oscar de 2025, y que ha sido fuertemente censurada en India.
“Santosh” cuenta la historia de dos mujeres policías que investigan la violación y asesinato de una mujer de la casta baja en una zona rural de India.
Si damos crédito a esta película, en este país hay sectores de la población para los que no existe la justicia.
Para los que no se busca esclarecer quién fue el culpable, sino solo encontrar a un chivo expiatorio al que linchar.
Donde las castas mas altas delinquen con impunidad y a las más bajas se les niega la más básica seguridad jurídica.
Y donde la policía funciona como una casta privilegiada más, que se regodea pisoteando a aquellos que más necesitarían de su protección.
“Santosh”, además, muestra cómo las nuevas generaciones son asimiladas para perpetuar un modus operandi policial que parece sacado de la Edad Media.
Y cómo sus atrocidades se maquillan con renovaciones cosméticas, como la incorporación al cuerpo de mujeres policías.
Según Reddit, la expresión “ACAB” no se usa en la India.
Un eslógan que sí es utilizado allí para rechazar la represión policial es: “mera desh, mera samvidhan” (mi país, mi constitución).
Viéndola he pensado que la India -hoy el país más poblado del mundo- ocupa un lugar casi inexistente en nuestra actualidad internacional sobre DDHH.
