My sister is a high-powered corporate lawyer with zero interest in kids. Still, every Thursday evening, she picks up my 10-year-old son, Leo, for "dinner and errands" to give my husband and me a date night. Leo always comes home quiet, smelling slightly of fast food, and goes straight to bed.
Last Thursday, our date got canceled. I decided to surprise them at her usual sleek, minimalist downtown condo. When I knocked, no one answered. I used my spare key, expecting them to be out at a restaurant.
The apartment was dead silent, but a strange glow was coming from her immaculate, strictly-no-kids home office.

Many horrific things that happen in Uganda can be seen coming. But they often have to first happen, and authorities come out as if they’re purely accidents.
~ A glaring hole on the road will be ignored, hitting cars everyday, until it causes a terrible accident, then it is immediately filled as if it has just been discovered! Meanwhile, other huge potholes nearby are still ignored. Someone is waiting for a huge budget, or a shock.
~ Predatory practices will go on in schools, exploiting parents in development fees, inflated trip fees that motivate schools to organise regular pointless trips, exaggerated material demands, unregulated school fees increments, etc. Corporal punishment will continue in schools. The concerned ministry will look on. Until someone’s sick child is caned to death! Then they start issuing statements and new half-thought directives, which they soon ignore (after the public has gone quiet).
~ Corruption by traffic officers will be officially known and tolerated. Traffic officers will let DMCs operate and endanger passengers and other road users, for as long as they can bribe. They’ll overspeed and overload. Until a terrible accident happens and, acting like they’re shocked it happened, they come out with new performative traffic operations - which they soon abandon, back to normal corruption.
~ Torture of political opponents will go on unabated. We will even find good vocabulary to justify or ignore it. The judiciary will join the torturers. Until a prominent person dies in their hands - then we will come out like visitors who never expected it to happen. We will act very shocked and concerned, including the boneheads that were cheering - all shaking their wasted heads.
Yet, when there is no major shock amidst the same things brewing everyday, we operate as if all is normal. We will, instead, persecute those who speak about the glaring signs. We will present them as the problem - defamation, agents of imperialists and homosexuals, hooligans, etc. Waiting for another moment to pretend to be shocked and sad, when disaster strikes from the very things they’re persecuted for speaking about. Many of the disasters and ‘shocks’ we witness are nothing but outcomes of what we have allowed to die in our time. It is not only government though, but also many of us individuals that have either chosen silence, benefitting from the mess, and abdicating our individual responsibilities for a better society. And, in this direction, it needs no doomsayer to tell that much worse is yet to happen. Until we choose to sober up and build a sensible country that makes all of us safe and proud. No one is safe in a broken country.
May the little innocent souls rest in peace, and may the broken parents find consolation in this very difficult time.

Under the recent controversial Uganda Protection of Sovereignty Act 2026 foreign lobbyists would be considered “agents of foreign interests” if hired by the Opposition and civil society, and “champions of national interests” when hired by the Kampala government. He who writes the cheque calls the tune on what the law is.

For a system that trying to tell a good story, we also need to help ourselves with the right photojournalism. @kasujja
This image doesn’t carry the confidence the story should.

I said this about AI well over a year ago. Using it to diagnose and fire people with medical conditions so they lose their insurance AND their income is somehow even more heartless and evil than I’d predicted.

Meta used AI to target workers with medical conditions for layoffs, according to a new lawsuit. Twenty-six former Meta employees are suing, accusing the company of using AI that disproportionately targeted people with disabilities or workers who took medical leave in selecting people for mass layoffs. reuters.com/world/meta-use…

Au revior! @FrenchTeam. It's been 14yrs too long for Deshamps. A younger and more progressive coach was long overdue.

Olise, Dembele and Rabiot same temperament whenever facing Spain. For some reason, they seem to vanish, or play with too much caution.
No need for either of them to see 90 minutes. They're done mentally from the looks of it.
