German colonizers in Namibia, due to their interest in evolutionary theory and missing links executed inmates and decapitated them. Herero women were required to remove all flesh from the heads to create clean skulls suitable for shipment for study in German Institutes. At the beginning of the twentieth century, German colonial rule in what is now Namibia led to one of the earliest genocides of the modern era, known as the Herero and Nama genocide. Between 1904 and 1908, tens of thousands of Herero and Nama people were killed through violence, forced displacement, starvation, and confinement in harsh conditions. This period reflects how colonial expansion was often enforced through extreme brutality and dehumanization. Part of this system involved the misuse of science to justify racial hierarchies. Influenced by distorted interpretations of evolutionary theory, some European researchers sought to study human remains in an attempt to rank different groups of people. Victims of colonial violence were treated as objects of study rather than human beings. Remains were taken and sent to institutions in Germany, where they were used in research that promoted harmful and false ideas about race. Herero women were forced under coercive conditions to handle and prepare these remains for shipment. This added another layer of trauma to communities that were already experiencing immense loss. These actions were not isolated incidents but part of a broader system that stripped people of dignity and humanity in the name of empire and so called scientific progress. Today, this history is increasingly recognized and studied, and there have been ongoing efforts to return human remains to Namibia and acknowledge the injustices committed. Conversations about reparations, historical accountability, and remembrance continue as part of a larger effort to confront the legacy of colonial violence.

🚨Roy Keane on the refereeing vs Leeds: "Disgraceful. Absolutely disgraceful. That referee didn't just make mistakes, he was actively working against Man United. Every 50-50 went to Leeds, every dive got rewarded." "I've seen more honest referees in Sunday league. This wasn't a game, it was a bloody conspiracy with a whistle."

The argument made here is also called the fine-tuning argument. It argues that that there are certain elements of space that are so perfectly measured that a slight change in the metrics could mean that life as we have it would not exist at all. Ultimately, it suggests the existence of an intelligent designer- an uncreated creator. Many atheists have described it as the strongest argument that theists have for the existence of God.

There is a plant that grows in #Namibia desert that has been alive since before the Ottoman Empire existed. It has a few leaves. They grow for a thousand years, sometimes two thousand, splitting and fraying in the wind, but they never fall off and they are never replaced. The plant drinks fog. It survives in a place where almost nothing else can. Charles Darwin called it the most wonderful plant ever brought to this country. Its name is Welwitschia mirabilis, and it only grows here. Think about what that plant has watched. It was already old when the Portuguese sailed past this coast in the 1480s and decided it wasn’t worth landing. It was middle-aged when the Herero migrated down from the great lakes. It was a sapling when Rome fell. And it is still here. Still drinking fog. Still watching.

Howard Lotsof was 19 years old and addicted to heroin when he took ibogaine in 1962 for fun. He came down 36 hours later with no withdrawal symptoms and no craving for heroin. He tried it on six addicted friends. Five of them had 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁. He spent the next 48 years trying to get it approved as medicine. He died in 2010, still waiting. His early data has since been replicated. It is now considered the most promising addiction treatment ever discovered.

.@FNBNamibia ATMs to Accept New Banknotes FNB Namibia says its Automated Deposit Terminals (ADTs) now accept the new Namibia Dollar banknotes introduced by Bank of Namibia. The update allows customers to deposit the new N$200, N$100, N$50, N$20 and N$10 banknotes at deposit-enabled ATMs across the country. The banknote series was introduced as part of the central bank’s rollout of the next generation of Namibia’s currency. According to FNB Namibia National Cash and SSD Manager Namibia Katuuo, the upgrade required updates to ATM systems to ensure the new banknotes are recognised and processed. Katuuo said the update supports continued deposit services at the bank’s ATM network while aligning with national banking requirements. Customers can deposit both the new banknotes and the existing notes currently in circulation at FNB Namibia deposit-enabled ATMs. The bank said the commemorative N$30 and N$60 banknotes remain legal tender, but are not supported by the ATM upgrade.

🚨🇬🇧“GET OFF MY LAND!” Clarkson Rejects £100M Offer and Sparks National Debate Jeremy Clarkson has once again placed himself at the center of a storm, reportedly turning down a staggering £100 million offer from Bill Gates to buy Diddly Squat Farm. According to the narrative circulating online, the deal allegedly included controversial conditions that Clarkson believed could reshape the future of British agriculture. Rather than cash in, he chose to refuse — framing the decision as a stand for independent farmers and local food production. The story has fueled debate about billionaire land investments, corporate influence, and who ultimately controls the countryside.

A 31-year-old businesswoman was robbed of wigs worth N$233,300 in Tamariskia, Swakopmund, on Thursday. Police say two suspects went to the woman's house pretending to be interested in buying wigs, which she sells from home. The suspects are further alleged to have threatened the victim before robbing her of the wigs. The wigs have not yet been recovered, and no arrests have been made. Police have warned the public to refrain from inviting strangers into their residences. They also urged people not to buy stolen hair, especially salon business owners, but to come forward with any information that may lead to the suspects' arrest. The investigation is ongoing.

I've watched the documentary countless times, stories of ordinary people from all around the world. This Namibian OmuHimba lady's notion of happiness makes her enviable.

Glazernomics explained: -United could have bought like Semenyo, Emerson from Atalanta (or another CM) and a wing back like say Jeremie Frimpong for app. an additional £160m in the summer of 2025. In that case Amorim would have been backed. They did not for cash flow reasons. -Firing Amorim and crew will cost United 20m. -Missing CL will cost the club £100m plus. -United will spend roughly around £160m on another winger, CM and fullback in the summer of 2026. So it’s perfectly possible that putting off an investment in the squad of £160m from 25’ to 26’ will cost the club at least £125m. Is this financially defendable? Absolutely not. The cost of money is 5-10% per year. Ie the additional cost of investing £160m in the squad in 2025 instead of in 2025 is just £8m to £16m. The “alternative cost” of not making the investment is £125m. It’s said in a negative way that United is run as a business. Nothing could be further from the truth — run a business like this and you could end up in jail. A relevant question is — OK, we all recognize how the 6 Glazer siblings have run the club in a braindead fashion. But they aren’t business persons, they are ordinary Joes and none of them ever accomplished anything in their lives unlike their dad who bought the club. But how come Ineos/Ratcliffe keeps running the club like this? The answer to this is very telling. We don’t know if Ineos painted themselves into a corner with the agreement with the Glazers, we don’t know whether they have any money or if they just see United as a giant vanity project in the form of a black back table. But facts are that our owners are taking extremely high risks with the future of the club. We will spend 750m over the coming three years on the transfer market. Our owners could in the summer have said — enough is enough. Man United can’t finish 15th. Here is an interest free share holder loan of 250m. You can spend 500m in the summer of 25’ and then 125m in 26’ and 125m in 27’ instead of 250m per year those three years. This is why the owners must be pressured. Why there should be protests at OT and game called off. This is our club. When it doesn’t do well — it’s us, the fans that suffer. There are extremely low hanging fruit available to improve the club on the owner side. Neville and co put 100% of the blame on the manager and players.

Maynard, a "Coloured" from Ophirton undergoing the infamous comb test. The comb stuck in his hair and was thus reclassified as "African". The "comb test" (or pencil test) was a pseudo-scientific method used during South Africa's apartheid era to racially classify individuals, determining if their hair texture (specifically if a pencil or comb would get stuck) designated them as White, Black, or Coloured, enforcing segregation and denying rights based on these arbitrary categorizations. This test, along with others (skin color, language, family history), was part of the Population Registration Act of 1950. Source: Drum Magazine, October 1955

PayPal coming to Namibia in 2026: What it means for digital payments, fraud risk and user protection By Melanie Meiring The Bank of Namibia has indicated that Namibia is moving closer to full PayPal functionality, with broader access expected from 2026. For many Namibians, particularly freelancers, artists, consultants and SMEs, this is more than a technical upgrade. It represents a meaningful shift in how international payments can be received, monitored and protected in an increasingly digital economy. thebrief.com.na/2025/12/paypal… #namibia #paypal #userprotection #digitalpayments
