In 458 BC, Rome was on the brink of collapse. An invading army had trapped the Roman consul and his legion in a mountain pass. Panic spread through the city. The Senate did the only thing they could think of: They sent messengers to find a 60-year-old farmer plowing his field. His name was Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus. He had once been a senator, then lost his fortune paying his son's bail. Now he worked his own four-acre plot just to feed his family. When the Senate's envoys arrived, they found him sweating behind a plow. They asked him to put on his toga so they could deliver an official message. The message: Rome was making him dictator. Absolute power. Total command of the army. No checks. No oversight. No term limit. He accepted. Within 16 days, Cincinnatus had raised an army, marched out, surrounded the enemy, and forced their surrender. The republic was saved. He had legal authority to rule for six months. He could have stayed. He could have expanded his power. He could have done what every other ruler in human history did when handed unlimited control. Instead, he resigned on day 16. He took off the toga, walked back to his farm, and finished plowing the field he'd left half-done. Twenty years later, when Rome faced another crisis, they called him back. He was 80 years old. He took command, crushed the conspiracy, and resigned again, this time after just 21 days. He died poor. On his farm. 2,200 years later, when George Washington was offered a kingship after winning the American Revolution, he refused and went home to Mount Vernon. The reason he was hailed as "the American Cincinnatus" is because Europeans literally could not believe a man who had won would willingly give up power. King George III, on hearing Washington would resign rather than rule, said: "If he does that, he will be the greatest man in the world." The lesson isn't that Cincinnatus was humble. The lesson is that for most of human history, the people most qualified to lead were the ones who didn't want to. And the moment a society starts rewarding those who chase power instead of those who flee from it is the moment the republic begins to die. Cincinnati, Ohio is named after him. Most people who live there have no idea why.

Reminder: When the Panama Papers came out it revealed all the rich people in the world are part of an enormous criminal conspiracy to dodge taxes and hoard stolen wealth in offshore accounts and literally nothing happened except a reporter working on the story was assassinated.

Then that company will come give us a narrative about rationing

Many will say that if you keep playing with fire, you will eventually get burned. Bernie Dosio, 75, a millionaire trophy hunter who owned a California winery, was on a hunt in a Gabonese rain forest, when he and his guide became the hunted. They surprised 5 forest elephant cows with a calf. The elephants, which Dosio had killed one 10 years prior, felt threatened and attacked them. For Dosio, the end came quick, and they tossed the guide to the side. He was very seriously injured but survived. I think that the elephants knew who their enemy was. Gabon is home to around 2/3 of the remaining global elephant population - with a estimated population of 95,000 forest elephants. nypost.com/2026/04/24/wor…

@DoctorLemma For those keeping score: Australian gov't - 0 Wheat Farmers - 1 Emus - 1

In 1970, an Australian wheat farmer got into a dispute with his government over how much wheat he could sell. So he declared his farm an independent country. The government ignored him. He ruled it as a prince for the next 50 years. His name was Leonard Casley. He owned a 75 square kilometre property in Western Australia, several hours north of the city of Perth. The Australian government had set new wheat quotas that would let him sell only about one percent of his crop. When he protested, he claimed officials threatened to forcibly take his land. So he found an obscure British law from 1495 called the Treason Act, which said a “de facto king” of any territory could not be charged with treason. He declared his farm a sovereign nation, named himself Prince Leonard, and notified Australia. Under Australian law at the time, the government had two years to formally object. They didn’t. Leonard took the silence as legal recognition. He went all in. He printed his own currency. He printed his own stamps. He issued his own passports. He gave his wife and seven children royal titles. He built a tiny stone palace. He set up embassies in nine countries. In 1977, when the Australian Tax Office kept demanding taxes, he formally declared war on Australia. A few days later, having received no military response, he declared a ceasefire and announced victory. The tax demands stopped. Tourists started showing up. At its peak, his “country” had 40,000 visitors a year. He stamped their passports for them. He sold them his stamps and coins. In 2016, on the principality’s 46th anniversary, Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom personally sent him a letter wishing his country a happy birthday. Leonard ruled for 47 years. He passed away in 2019 at 93. His son Graeme took over, but the tax bill had grown to over three million Australian dollars and Covid had stopped the tourists. In August 2020, the Principality of Hutt River formally rejoined Australia.

Just lost a Childhood friend. I went to the hospital to help facilitate his referral to KNH or any other PGH available with a Neuro surgeon. Nakuru said they don't have a Neuro currently. KNH at least asked for a CT scan report we sent photos of the report...

Easter Holiday Jalopy Trip to Turkana, A thread 🧵 1. 🌅 INTO THE NORTH – 4:00 AM. Nairobi was dark and quiet. Bomori wasn't. Full tank. Cold coffee. Warm nerves. Lodwar was 700 km away. We went to see if an old turbo Corolla still had it.

Gladys Shollei is pushing a dangerous amendment, and Kenyans should pay attention. Yesterday, during a debate on the Public Participation Bill, she proposed removing a key safeguard: the requirement to publish public participation outcomes. Right now, Section 12(2) requires that once public participation is done, the results be made public, for example, on a website, so citizens can see what Kenyans actually said. Her proposal? Remove it completely or Keep that information private. If you want it, you must apply to the same authority that collected it. Let me be honest, we already know how this ends. We have been requesting NHIF, Housing levy, and capitation data for over 6 months. Letters sent to MOH and MOE. No response. Total silence. We are now heading to court soon. Now imagine this: A bad bill is rejected by Kenyans during public participation. The authority then claims: “Kenyans supported it.” How do you verify? You write to them, and they ignore you. That’s the trap. This amendment would legalize secrecy and make it impossible to hold the government accountable. Public participation without transparency is just a rubber stamp. MPs must reject this amendment. Kenyans deserve a public portal where participation outcomes are visible, verifiable, and permanent. Enough hiding. Article 35 on access to information is becoming ceremonial, and soon, we will prove that in court.
