@SenWarren Honest question - how do you intend to do that? I mean, assuming there’s a world where that wealth tax was a possibility and it had an Elon. I’m genuinely curious how the child care funding gets executed.

If Elon Musk paid my ultra-millionaire wealth tax, we could pay for child care for all three and four year olds in America.

@makaumully When you’re president, you can transport them using stadiums if that is where your brain has gotten you. To each their own

@OnroyFelix So stadium will transport?

This is what Garissa, Wajir and Mandera needs, unfortunately President Ruto is building them stadiums.

@rigathi @johnnjenga I suppose he would know. 🤷🏾‍♂️

Mr. William Ruto and his boys are on a looting spree. Acknowledging that his game over, they are saying it is injury time. That is the mantra. They are looting everything from struggling Kenyans. Kenya is simply fleeced. Dry! Just 13 days to the closure of the financial year 2024/25, they are stealing a whooping Kshs. 6.2 Billion through a supplementary budget in votes that are not audited. The money to be drawn in cash through votes disguised as maintenance and operations, other operating expenses and security operations. The cash is being siphoned through State House, Office of the Deputy President, state department of Internal Security and the National Intelligence Service. This is money for bribing voters, paying goons, buying MPs and Senators, counter-productive empowerment programs and the Ol Kolou by-election. This is happening when hospitals have no drugs, cancer patients are deep pain, our students have no capitation, university and college students have no funding, name it! Lord God, please have Mercy on our beloved Country, Kenya!

@XivTroy So…you’re running to work?

Wake up at 4. Read to 5. Work on your dream to 6. Go for a run to 7. Report to your work desk at 8.

Putting it out there once again, Malindi in Kenya. Close to the equator. @elonmusk

@feraljokes Three and a half just about does it!

What the fuck does "almost 4 kids later" mean

I think it’s important we consider decoupling presidential from parliamentary elections in Kenya.

@randomworldke When is this matchup? 😂😂 Nyawawa

Great and insightful article: “Paid via a 3-to-5-year vesting runway” to manage paper vs liquidated value sounded unjustified until I read the co-investment part. That’s why great CEOs buy equity in their companies (not just options allocations) - look at Jamie Dimon when he joined JPM. Skin in the game is surest proof of incentivized investment management.

@engineers_feed Wasn’t planning on going there anyway, but thanks for the reinforcement.

@bcherny Still not in Code & coworker…are you resetting limits with the new drop?

Fable 5 is now available in Claude Code and Cowork Fable is the best model I have used for coding, by a wide margin. It is a big step up, enabling less prompts and steers, more efficient token use, better code quality, better tool use, more intelligent self-verification, longer running sessions, and higher trust & autonomy. Happy coding!

The people who never keep left unless overtaking are the worst drivers on Kenyan roads. We need a death sentence by hanging for such “drivers”.

@callmidavid Yes, don’t you?

So you review every line of code written by Ai?🤌

This has been a painstakingly difficult conversation in both private and public sector investments especially the latter, where investors keep demanding sovereign guarantees like it’s the holy grail. The wild part? From the Indian Ocean to the Atlantic, Cape of Good Hope to the Mediterranean, half those guarantees are basically IOUs written on wet tissue paper. The other half? Governments either unwilling or flat-out incapable of issuing them. And if it’s not that headache, it’s the eternal side-eye on “stability.” My answer, every single time? There’s nowhere else on Earth you’ll pull the kind of returns Africa is serving right now. 🔥 FDI in key sectors here is averaging 15.5% IRR/ROI - smoking the global average of ~7% and leaving developed markets in the dust. We’re talking high-growth energy, infrastructure, fintech, manufacturing, and more in a continent with the world’s youngest population and exploding consumer markets. It’s not blind optimism. Data backs it: Africa delivered some of the highest returns on foreign investment for years, and even with global FDI dipping, East Africa (hello, Kenya) is surging because the fundamentals are screaming opportunity. In the spirit of keeping it real: Sovereign debt distress is no joke - many governments are juggling high debt loads, defaults, and fiscal tightropes, which makes those guarantees shaky for big projects. Counterparty risk is real. Political stability varies by country, no sugarcoating. Global media loves amplifying the chaos while downplaying the steady progress in places like Nairobi. Your alpha: Experienced players get the early-mover edge. The risk perception is skewed - but the rewards for those who diligence it properly? Asymmetric as hell. Risk pricing is the real answer. Nairobi is primed for this wave. Strategic location, young talent, improving ease of doing business, SEZs, and that East African Community gateway. Global capital - if you’re reading this from London, New York, Dubai, Singapore, or wherever - strike while the iron is blazing hot. Come build. Come partner. Come win. What’s stopping the flood of smart money into Nairobi? Drop your thoughts below - investors, fund managers, policymakers, advisors, let’s talk. @RovenCapital

Show me something more fun on the internet today! 😂😂

Africans must take charge of African affairs and political economy. Nobody is coming to save us.

@ItsKirui_CFC @RaminNasibov RIP to him. Nothing else taught me to live life with agency and compassion like that book did.

@OnroyFelix @RaminNasibov A very touching piece from Paul

Name a book that you think is 10/10. But only one.
