Crazy that 70-80 year olds are generally seen as unemployable due to physical and mental decline. But we’re allowing them to run our entire country.

Vultures eat anthrax, botulism, rabies, and cholera for breakfast. Their stomach acid is among the most corrosive in the animal kingdom, with a pH around 1, low enough to dissolve the bones, hide, and pathogens of dead animals that would kill almost anything else. A vulture eating a diseased carcass isn't a vector for disease, it's a terminus. The disease chain ends in the vulture's gut, and that's pretty hardcore. When vulture populations crashed in India in the 1990s, rotting livestock carcasses sat where vultures used to clean them. Feral dogs and rats took over the cleanup, both of which actually do spread rabies. Researchers later linked the vulture collapse to roughly 500,000 deaths in India over the following decade. The same collapse is now underway in sub-Saharan Africa. Six of eleven African vulture species are threatened with extinction, primarily from poisoned poaching baits. The animals nobody finds cute are doing more public health work than most of the species we actively protect.

-British guy goes to Africa: “What’s this animal called” -African tribesman: “We call it Okapi” - Western scholars: “The Okapi was discovered 150 years ago by that British guy”

Planting trees is certainly good. But it doesn't create a forest. Existing forests should be aggressively protected. There is NO substitute for a natural forest.

@bakhita_esther Deep fake photos like this will become even more common in a contested political environment. However either the manipulator doesn't know or doesn't care that the gemini watermark is at the bottom right corner of the photo, and the faces are so badly distorted it is easy to spot

As opposed to? 😂

"Middle income country" (hint: its in East Africa)

When we ask why taxes are soo high, we are compared to UK and Singapore. When we ask why our debt is so high, they talk about Japan and their gdp to debt ratio. But healthcare? Infrastructure? Education? Quality of life? Suddenly, we are comparable to Uganda and Tanzania

Kenya is one big CONFLICT OF INTEREST + POOR GOVERNANCE STUDY: 1. MCAs' companies do all the work in the Wards; 2. MPs' companies do all CDF work; 3. Governors' companies do all the work in the Counties; 4. The President and his CS companies do all the national contracts.

My commentary today: Strait of Hormuz crisis should accelerate Africa’s biofertilizer production, a shift to electric mobility and renewable energy. Fossil fuel, chemical fertilizer & food systems are joined at the hip news.mongabay.com/2026/04/strait…

This is Ngong Suswa. We have been conned here. Look at that thin tarmac and the significant repairs on a newly finished road. This will be a cash cow because of constant repairs. In a proper country the contractor, engineers and government supervisors would be behind bars now

There’s something wrong with your country when it’s mostly foreigners and politicians who can experience a decent, stable lifestyle while citizens struggle.

There's a physicist at Stanford named Safi Bahcall who modeled this exact principle and the math is wild. He calls it "phase transitions in human networks." When you're stationary, your probability of a lucky event is limited to your existing surface area: the people you already know, the places you already go, the ideas you've already been exposed to. Your opportunity window is fixed. When you move, your collision rate with new nodes in a network increases nonlinearly. Double your movement (new conversations, new cities, new projects) and your probability of a serendipitous encounter doesn't double. It roughly quadruples. Because each new node connects you to their entire network, not just to them. Richard Wiseman ran a 10-year study at the University of Hertfordshire tracking self-described "lucky" and "unlucky" people. The single biggest differentiator wasn't IQ, education, or family money. Lucky people scored significantly higher on one trait: openness to experience. They talked to strangers more, varied their routines more, and said yes to invitations at nearly twice the rate. The "unlucky" group followed the same routes, ate at the same restaurants, and talked to the same 5 people. Their networks were closed loops. No new inputs, no new collisions. Luck isn't random. Luck is surface area. And surface area is a function of movement. The lobster emoji is doing more work than most people realize. Lobsters grow by shedding their shell when it gets too tight. The growth requires a period of total vulnerability. No protection, no armor, soft body exposed to the ocean. That's the cost of movement nobody posts about. You have to be uncomfortable first. The new shell only hardens after you've already moved.

It’s not completely done bruv. No road furniture, markings, signage’s etc. we will continue to call you out until you start doing proper works.

Posting about that ugly suswa unfinished road when the timeline is flooded with beautiful pictures of Ethiopia’s transformation is peak stupidity IMO 😂😂 hawana hata situational awareness.

@EmmanuelMacron @margbrennan If you swap out the word “Iran” for “Israel” this is a reasonably good statement.

The older you get, the more you realize luck is just exposure. If you sit in the same chair, same routine, talking to same people… nothing new happens. You have to touch the world to win. • Talk to strangers • try a new coffee spot • post on social • Start a side hustle The world rewards motion. You don’t find opportunity sitting still. You bump into it.

@muiruriharry6 @RamzZy_ you must be fun at parties 😅

@RamzZy_ We don't have that name in Kenya

Since you won’t say her name, She is Bohlale Mphahlele from Nakuru, Kenya. Only Kenyans will understand why we are claiming her…
