Today’s lesson: Budget ≠ Money Already Spent. End of lesson.

Deputy Speaker Thomas Tayebwa has cautioned MPs against treating the Speaker and Deputy Speaker’s offices like ATMs for personal financial bailouts. He revealed that during the 11th Parliament, he feared entering his office without at least UGX 10 million in cash, urging legislators to manage their finances prudently and avoid unsustainable debts. #NTVNews 📷 @lbrahim_kavuma

@ArthurFour4 @Jude_Mugabi Such is life man…even Poverty if you dont take the risk can die poor…but taking some risks hives you a chance 🥹

President Museveni is a very lucky man. Had he not won that protracted war, he would have ended up at the Hague.

@AppelezmoiKizza People with money know prayer is not enough for them

Kino sikyebayita okwesiba ku bantu?!😏🤔 How are you praying for someone that looks so unbothered, but you go on and on and on…😆🤣🤭

On Falcao, Makerere's Teargas "Inventor" Nearly a decade ago now, NTV news ran a story about a Makerere University student Samuel Mugarura who had "invented" a new brand of teargas. According to the news story Samuel was a student at the department of Chemistry--a claim the department denied in the same broadcast. Police too were involved, warning this budding innovator about the risks of this "innovation". I had left Makerere a year earlier, but knew the student from his activism at Lumumba Hall and his Biotechnology program building which abutted our own Zoology department. Around campus he went by the moniker "Falcao"--after the famous Colombian footballer Radamel Falcao, who had joined Manchester United a few seasons earlier. To many of us Falcao was perhaps more widely known for mischief, a penchant for rowdiness, and was certainly not a Victor Frankenstein. So why did NTV news insist he was a Chemistry student? Days, or perhaps weeks, passed before the young scientist Falcao appeared in the news. The then IGP Kale Kayihura had read about his exploits and summoned him--and from that followed a call from State House. Things took a turn. Now Makerere University Chemistry professors were claiming Falcao as one of their own. Out of the window were their earlier statements of caution to the media that the fellow was a struggling student who would benefit from spending more time focused on his studies than doing pyrotechnics on TV! Suddenly, this unlikely Victor Frankenstein was holding meetings with the heads of URSB, NEC-UPDF, among other government entities. In 2017, he received UGX 400M to help him standardize his teargas product. "He says that the money was channeled to his account through the council for science and technology," reported the online publication Matooke Republic. The last I read he was appearing before a parliamentary committee on Science and Innovation in 2021 to seek 18 million dollars (about 66 billion shillings) funding to establish a tear gas "factory" in Uganda. To date, I am not aware of any teargas manufacturing plant, or what became of Falcao. *** This story is illustrative of how, untethered from scrutiny, "science" and "innovation" can become a vehicle for arbitrary (and most times wasteful) allocation of public resources. In his recent diatribe against Andrew Mwenda, the President seems to suggest that public investments in such schemes dressed as "innovation" or "value addition" should be guided by something closer to faith than evidence. The President invokes the spirit of John 20:29--that those who believe without seeing proof are truly blessed. Such thinking, applied to public funding of innovations, is a path to disaster. Science and Technology is more valuable to society not when it is protected from well-meaning public scrutiny, but when it is open to accountability. In its current state, the funding of innovations appears uncoordinated, arbitrary and raises serious questions about the judgment of those who decide what ideas should or should not be funded. Is there a peer-review process--or its equivalent--that informs such decisions? It should be okay to ask such questions. Photo: Falcao in an NTV news screen grab, September 2016.

@OGWALTK @Kwezi_Tabaro You guys enjoyed campus more than anybody 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

@Kwezi_Tabaro I know were to find him 😂😂😂😂😂 Falcoa once picked me from my room to go and rob a coffin from Kubiri so we can use it to demonstrate cause a student had been reported dead during a strike. this guy was something else we were arrested and guys in the cell feared us

@LufcTest @the_zb_ This is Lewis, Not Alonso not Vettel

@the_zb_ 1 good race in Canada does not give you a right to start claiming this is Lewis Hamilton at his peak. Disrespectful if you’ve actually followed his career.

It’s been GREAT to see this resurgence from Lewis over these last few weeks, as this is the pilot Ferrari intended to sign when they brought him in. He’s neck and neck on points contributions, and that’s a very good thing. It has, however, been a strange thing to see this play out in discussions with some LH-only fans. I caught a lot of flack for what I thought was highly reasonable statement last year - I suggested that we needed some demonstrations and measurables from Lewis to show he wasn’t well and truly washed… An honest suggestion, yet I was lambasted by many Lewis fans that said he was still capable of everything he’s ever been capable of. Now, I agree with that. We can see and measure that that is true, and that GE genuinely has a major incompatibility with how Lewis chose to approach facets of his driving. He himself said he didn’t want to adjust or change those, and thus he suffered in GE cars. Now, I’m being lambasted for suggesting that this is a near-peak (if not absolute, which would be unlikely) level Lewis and that he deserves a ton of credit for that. Extremely competitive, measurable reaction times are excellent, and he’s motivated. He looks the same as that 2019-2020 era Hamilton. Instead, I’m now being told that it’s asinine to suggest Lewis is operating near his peak level, and being lambasted for giving him that credit, with some suggesting this is the real level of a washed Hamilton. How silly. 😂 It would be easier to discuss if people would make up their minds which angle they want to take concerning him. 🙃 But what’s clearly obvious to anyone watching - this is a top tier level Lewis Hamilton, and the sport is definitely better off with him operating like this. Hopefully there can be some actual “battles” this season (or to what little extent these cars and regs allow that to be a real thing, rather than battery state of charge games). It’s a shame batteries robbed us of that Max vs Lewis potential in Canada, but perhaps if the cars stay similarly competitive there will be more opportunity to see a fight between them again.

@cptdankkk Apple is where Nokia was! Breaking past that is extremely very very very hard!

Mark Zuckerberg says Apple's lack of innovation since the iPhone will lead to its decline "They haven't really invented anything great in a while. Steve Jobs invented the iPhone, and now they're kind of sitting on it 20 years later" "Year over year, I'm not even sure they're selling more iPhones at this point. Part of it is that each generation doesn't actually get that much better, so people are taking longer to upgrade" "They built stuff like AirPods, which are cool, but they've thoroughly hamstrung the ability for anyone else to build something that can connect to the iPhone" "I'm pretty optimistic that because they've been so off their game in terms of not really releasing many innovative things... eventually they'll get beat by someone"

@FDataAnalysis @emmerdeuse90s What caught my attention is that amidst the fighting, between george and kimi they got more than 2-3 lockups but there cars where still pushing more and more race pace…like there not even affected a single bit by the damage to those tyres 🙌🏽

RACE PACE #CanadianGP No match for Mercedes: ANT was over 0.2s/lap quicker than the next best car despite fighting with RUS and not having to push at the end! Excellent (and identical) pace for VER and HAM LEC was 0.36s/lap slower than HAM, but almost as quick as HAD despite using one set less Great pace for Alpine: 6th best for COL! Gap (s/lap) 1)Mercedes 2-3)RBR/Ferrari +0.22 4)Alpine +1.35 5)Williams +1.45 6)RBs +1.58 7-8)Haas/Audi +1.73 McL (PIA) hard to judge due to traffic. Cadillac and Aston were nowhere: ~4s/lap slower despite multiple stops!

@Jkrom11 @RenegadeGex @yt_joe27932 @MattP1Gallagher Team mates is his trophy…

@RenegadeGex @yt_joe27932 @MattP1Gallagher I’m not even a Charles fan but hes beaten every teammate he’s ever had and he’s still ahead of Hamilton in what is probably his worst year since 2021.

Only the top 4 weren’t lapped in that race 🤣 The chasm between the top teams and the midfield really is something

@NemesisFC2 @MattP1Gallagher 😂😂

@MattP1Gallagher To be fair, Hadjar had like 4 hours in penalties
