@ItsMutai "A life saved is a statistic; a person hurt is an anecdote" Until u understand that, you'll keep cherrypicking facts of treatments gone wrong to rant about them on these streets ignoring thousands of lifes saved daily by our Kenyan Doctors! Cc @KMPDU @fnoluga #SilentEvidence

Italy is signing its own Gulf gas deals. It's the clearest sign that Europe has no energy strategy. When the crisis hit every country ran for itself: 🇩🇪 Germany flew to Houston for LNG 🇮🇹 Meloni flew to the Gulf to sign her own deals 🇫🇷 France quietly thanked itself for keeping nuclear This isn't strategic autonomy. It's 27 countries in a panic, each cutting their own deals, paying their own premiums, with zero collective leverage. The irony? Europe has the world's largest single market. Negotiating together, it could dictate terms to any gas supplier on earth. Instead supplier by supplier, country by country they're being picked off one at a time. Russia understood this. The Gulf states understand this. Washington understands this. The only people who don't seem to understand it are in Brussels. A closed Hormuz exposed every weakness Europe built over 30 years of cheap energy complacency. No unified strategy. Just 27 prime ministers on planes looking for the same molecules That's not a union. That's a queue.

The greatest military in history has: Fought Korea to a draw. Lost to Vietnamese farmers. Spent 20 years in Afghanistan before being expelled by men in sandals. Created ISIS in Iraq. And is currently stuck in week five of Iran with a closed strait and no exit strategy. Greatest ever. No question.

The truth is - The United States of America is the greatest military in the history of the world.

No country is beating any country that is run by Engineers, Mathematicians and Philosophers. China, Iran, Russia likely. But if you want to weaken your country considerably, give them to lawyers and finance people to run. They will surely derivative your country away.@iamNeare

A newborn sperm whale can’t swim. It starts sinking the second it’s born. If nobody pushes it to the surface, it drowns in mile-deep water. On July 8, 2023, a sperm whale named Rounder went into labor off the coast of Dominica. Researchers from Project CETI, a $33 million AI initiative out of MIT, Harvard, and Northeastern that’s trying to decode whale language, happened to be there doing routine fieldwork. They had drones in the air and underwater microphones running. What they captured over the next six hours just got published in two papers, one in Science and one in Scientific Reports. Eleven whales gathered at the surface before Rounder even started delivering. Her mother, Lady Oracle, was there. So was her daughter Accra. Three generations in the water. But the wild part: half those whales belonged to a completely separate bloodline that normally keeps its distance from Rounder’s family. On a typical day, these two family lines split off to hunt in different areas and rarely cluster together. For the birth, they all converged before labor started. The unrelated family somehow knew it was coming. The delivery took 34 minutes. Sperm whale calves come out tail-first with their flukes still folded from the womb. They haven’t developed the oil-filled organ in their heads that helps adult whales float, so the moment they’re born, they’re dead weight in the ocean. Every adult whale in the group, related and unrelated, started taking turns pushing the calf up to breathe. They kept this rotation going for three hours. When a pod of pilot whales (known to be aggressive toward sperm whales) and a large group of Fraser’s dolphins showed up during delivery, the adults formed a wall around the newborn until the threat passed. The underwater audio is where it gets interesting. CETI’s microphones picked up the whales changing their vocal patterns during the birth. The click-based sounds they use to talk to each other shifted at specific moments, and vowel-like structures appeared in the recordings. This builds on what CETI found in 2024 when they ran machine learning on over 8,700 recorded whale calls and discovered sperm whale communication isn’t a basic 21-sound code. It’s a system of about 300 distinct sound combinations, with the whales adjusting rhythm and timing in real time, speeding up and slowing down the way a musician does mid-performance. A 2025 follow-up from UC Berkeley found these clicks also contain vowel patterns, something scientists had assumed only humans could produce. Sperm whales carry the largest brain of any animal on the planet. About 9 kg. Roughly six times heavier than yours. The evolutionary analysis in the new Science paper suggests this kind of cooperative birthing goes back over 36 million years, to the common ancestor of all toothed whales. The calf was spotted a year later, swimming with its family.

Rare footage of a sperm whale giving birth has offered scientists a window into the behavior of these large, elusive mammals.

When will Africans finally outgrow this embarrassing and childish tourist syndrome? An African flies to a European country, sees a shiny building or a fancy train, whips out their phone, and immediately runs to social media to cry, "When will our country have this?!" SPOILER ALERT : those train rides are not free. They are directly subsidized by the missing wealth and uncollected taxes of the developing world. Truth is that, while the rest of Europe was tripping over themselves to aggressively extract African resources by sending gunboats, missionaries, and colonial administrators to do their dirty work, Luxembourg was playing 3D chess. They did not need to get their hands bloody or dirty. Instead, they quietly positioned themselves as the ultimate offshore tollbooth for the wealth being plundered from the Global South. Here is how their white-collar criminal network operates: A massive multinational conglomerate digs up copper in Zambia, pumps crude in Nigeria, or mines cobalt in the DRC Congo. By any standard of fairness, the immense wealth generated from those resources should be taxed locally to build the exact same roads, schools, and train networks we keep drooling over. But the global financial system is rigged. Instead of paying their fair share, that corporation sets up a shell company and often literally just a dusty P.O. Box in Luxembourg. And then through the dark arts of corporate accounting known as "profit shifting" and "transfer pricing," the company manipulates its books. The African subsidiary, the one doing the actual extraction, magically records zero profit. Meanwhile, the Luxembourg P.O. Box records billions. Africa gets the environmental degradation, the exploited labor, and a depleted national treasury. Luxembourg gets the capital. Now, Luxembourg taxes these phantom P.O. boxes just enough to make it look legitimate, pulling in about 5% of their GDP. But that’s just the cover charge. When you factor in the massive ecosystem built to service this racket,the armies of corporate lawyers, wealth managers, auditors, and bankers designing these tax-dodging schemes, it accounts for a staggering 30% of Luxembourg’s entire GDP. Put the math together, and you realize that nearly 40% of their national wealth is a monument to laundered money. It is the most flawlessly executed heist in modern history. They managed to siphon the wealth of a continent without firing a single bullet or toppling a single regime.

All buses, trains, and trams are free in this country. For everyone! Luxembourg is unreal. When will your country have this?
