@jaevionn I blame you. You were supposed to park in the wrong place first so that she could scream at you and tell you that yuh cyaa park deh suh. That’s how she would direct you properly. You mash up the woman move and a come look sympathy?

me: afternoon, the parking for X is upstairs? lady: you should know. me: excuse me? I don’t know that’s why I am clarifying. lady: if you work there you would know. me: I don’t work there but I have a meeting I am making sure I go to the right place.

@DuncanAdley Lol! #supervisa

What do you mean “could face visa restrictions” ? Are they planning to impose like a super visa?

Please remember that publishing the name of someone accused or convicted of incest automatically exposes the child. This is why media houses do not name suspects or perpetrators. It is protect the CHILD!

@keenanfalconer @Gordonswaby Options are few … 🎶

In the 2020s alone: -COVID-19 pandemic -Higher inflation -Elevated interest rates -Tariff/trade/supply chain disruptions -Geopolitical tensions -Back-to-back Category 4/5 hurricanes -Oil price shocks -Threats of war Truth is, I’m tired.

@tytheyt You could check out the recent Jamaican case of R v Jolyan Silvera. I’m not sure if there’s a written judgment as yet but the case has been reported by the media. It also is a case where the defendant engaged the provocation defense; his manslaughter plea was accepted.

1) The Court of Appeal has today agreed with me and quashed a death sentence meted against my client for the offence of murder. He is to serve a 15 years imprisonment for a lesser offence of manslaughter. It gets juicy to note that the 15 years imprisonment starts running, 1/4.

Economics Twitter- How is labour productivity calculated? Is it based on any other metric like GMI per capita? @keenanfalconer

Lawyers. If you're going to use chatgpt to research, at least run the cites through westlaw and see if they exist. On long briefs I'll use chatgpt AFTER the brief is written to check for grammar and to cite check. Not often, but occasionally, it will tell me a key case stands for the opposite proposition I cited it for. That's a pretty important find...if true. Guess what? It's never true. AI is a tool to get to the destination. It is not the destination.

Rape has a very specific definition under Jamaican law. So, when you demand that the Gleaner report that a man has been convicted of raping two girls when he wasn't even charged with rape, you are demanding that the Gleaner lie to you.

@Gordonswaby @annaliesalin Why should schools have websites ? What are some of the benefits as you see it ?

There are over 1,000 schools in Jamaica and less than 5% of them have websites. As in, they have zero presence online. That’s really unacceptable in 2026. We want to fix that; for free. Tell school leadership to apply to EduFocal100.com. We’ll give them a website for FREE

Imagine sitting in front of a staff member at the Companies Office while they take your ID from you and make copies... Then your documents are rejected because a copy of your ID wasn't attached to the form... And they give you back the paper with your photocopied ID on it...

@HeatherPinnock Your husband speaks patois ?

I can hear my husband upstairs: "Where you going???" "Come from there!!" "You can do it!" "Who sen' yuh ova so??" "Awww ... are you stuck?" Gentle people, he's talking to the robot vacuum.🤦🏾‍♀️

@ChrisHenry1690 Making up new requirements everyday and strangling the deal

VMBS is the worst! I have two sales where the purchaser chose to use them for mortgage... All now me cyaa get mi LU kmt.

In a job like mine, you learn quickly what really matters. Family. Friendship. Health. Love keeps you centred. Grateful for that. Today and every day.

What is Emergency Government Procurement? Watch as Jovell Barrett, Chief Public Procurement Policy Officer within the MOFPS breaks down the guidelines that govern emergency procurement. #MOFJamaica #HurricaneMelissa #WeCare

@gscottnick @JColdboy1 @NationwideRadio 🤣🤣

@a_be86 @JColdboy1 @NationwideRadio Bredda me never know is you did mek up the rule dem. Shoulda cuss you long time

The government's former chief procurement officer, Andrei Bennett, disagrees with the notion that procurement rules in the public sector are overly-complicated. READ MORE HERE: revonews.ai/news/attorney-…

@101Austind @NationwideRadio Or one set of contractors/suppliers to earn contracts all the time then we can’t reason on this point. If you’re ok with a system that doesn’t look out for MSMEs or for quality then we can’t reason about this.

@101Austind @NationwideRadio Thanks for your views Rodricko. If you are of the opinion that the only thing that matters is getting the things and that the procedures don’t also help to create development then we can’t reason on this point. If you’re comfortable with systems that allow only one contractor

@JColdboy1 @NationwideRadio So why the derision? Why shouldn’t properly trained professionals be spending your hard earned tax dollars which aggregate to about US$5 billion each year?? Think of the consequences!

@a_be86 @NationwideRadio So it has morphed, as I thought, into a full fledged profession. Therein lies the problem. The God complex enters into the equation.!

@JColdboy1 @NationwideRadio And by the way. The function is now regarded as a profession with an extensive multidisciplinary knowledge base. As we develop and learn more, we also learn how to apply the knowledge proportionately so we don’t use a hammer to kill a mosquito.

@JColdboy1 @NationwideRadio Patrick, I’d be dumb to say the thing is not without its problems. My simple point is that it’s not all as unworkable and mystical as some people make it out to be. With reasonable diligence things can be done within good time and with effective results.
