You can now pay for things in Africa directly from your AI agent. Today we’re introducing Paystack Index, the easiest way to check out with Paystack merchants through Claude, ChatGPT, OpenClaw, and any AI agent. At launch, you can: → Buy airtime: “Buy ₦500 MTN airtime for 080…” → Send money with @zapbypaystack: “Send ₦25k to…” → Buy food with @ChowdeckHQ: “Order jollof under ₦3k near me” As more merchants join the Index, you’ll be able to do more, from booking rides and ordering groceries to paying utility bills, quickly and securely. Paystack Index is now available in Nigeria, with more African markets coming soon. An experimental product from Paystack and TSG Labs.

C.S. Lewis, there is no safe investment

Chesterton on why children ought to be told fairy tales

When my kids were little one or both of them did something unsafe that scared me. I told them that if anything ever happened to them, that I would be the saddest mommy in the world.  Today is 7 months since Eddie died and now I know that is not true.

@elidot @Wangleberry Honestly? This shifted something inside of me. Being very serious.

@Wangleberry Has @equartey answered this yet? I’m certain he’ll have some gems.

An idea I've been finding very helpful: my draft essays are *places I go to think*. In particular, they create a context for me to think better thoughts. A coevolution goes on, between the quality of the ideas I can have, and the context provided by the essay Something @wtgowers said once, in another context, comes to mind: the aspiration is to delay as long as possible the point at which the quality of the ideas saturates
