But what legal business were you doing during the PF era that used to make you money and no longer makes you money now?

My parents slept in separate rooms my whole childhood. I asked my dad about it once. He said they made a deal early because my mum snores and he tosses. He said they sat down one evening and talked it through like a business meeting. His words. He said the first night apart they both slept like babies. He said they were happier than they had ever been. He never told people. Because when he said separate rooms they said oh I'm sorry. He said he was never sorry. He was just tired of explaining that love does not have to mean sharing a blanket. They are still married 39 years later.

@BBCNews May it become the most failed world cup in history.

Senegal is becoming a perfect case study of what happens when revolutionary politics finally meets the realities of governing. It’s easy to unite people against a system. It’s much harder to run the economy, negotiate debt, satisfy voters and still maintain the purity of the movement. A lot of liberation-style movements in Africa struggle once they transition from opposition to government because charisma and slogans eventually collide with budgets, IMF pressure and state institutions. That’s exactly what we’re watching in Senegal right now.

In 1998, I was fired from my corporate job while 9 months pregnant because and I quote, “my priorities would be elsewhere after the baby is born.” The lawyer I hired told me I didn’t have a case because discrimination like “that” was almost impossible to prove. So I got pissed. Took the LSAT. Went to law school. Passed the bar. Had 3 more kids. Twelve years later, another woman from that same company was fired for the same reason. She sued them for a million dollars, and won, partly because I had kept every piece of evidence from what happened to me years prior demonstrating a systemic pattern of discrimination against women. That company no longer exists. My law practice is thriving. And that baby they said would derail my priorities? She’s a brilliant attorney now working at my firm. Turns out my priorities were indeed, elsewhere.

One thing about adulthood that way too many people learn way too late (and have no choice but to learn the hard way): you have to be deliberate/proactive about everything. For the first time in your life, you can't be passive participant in anything.

Almost 8 months ago @KLM said they will reimburse my payment for this seat, which is not supposed to be on sales for passangers. Since then, theyve completely ignored me wont even reply back to emails anymore.

“Until death, all defeat is psychological."

A white guy can do the worst thing ever and the headline will still open with a compliment

You attend those Exco meetings and witness your direct line manager being treated like a peasant. Those guys are brutal.

Until you lose your job, you'll realise it was never anyone's choice to be unemployed. Life humbles everybody eventually

Corporate life will teach you that knowing the job is only half the battle. The real skill is staying calm in meetings, reading the room, managing ego, receiving vague feedback, and not replying emails with your real thoughts.

Singapore’s Foreign Minister, Dr Balakrishnan casually explaining how he built his own AI agent (a 2nd brain for diplomacy) using Claude & WhatsApp integration etc. on a Raspberry Pi “You cannot govern a technology you have only been briefed on.” 🇸🇬

Julius Malema warned about this! We are here now!

I feel when you start using ChatGPT to help you write essays, texts etc, over time you lose your creative self in composing from your brain. Did I get that right?

In any Western city this would be praised for efficiency But since it is in China it is considered scary

When they are done with foreign nationals, us dark skinned people are next. You lot are never beating the allegations 🌚
