An Airbus 380 is on its way across the Atlantic. It flies consistently at 800 km/h at 30,000 feet, when suddenly a Eurofighter with a Tempo Mach 2 appears.
The pilot of the fighter jet slows down, flies alongside the Airbus and greets the pilot of the passenger plane by radio: "Airbus, boring flight isn’t it? Now have a look here!"
He rolls his jet on its back, accelerates, breaks through the sound barrier, rises rapidly to a dizzying height, and then swoops down almost to sea level in a breathtaking dive. He loops back next to the Airbus and asks: "Well, how was that?"
The Airbus pilot answers: "Very impressive, but watch this!"
The jet pilot watches the Airbus, but nothing happens. It continues to fly straight, at the same speed. After 15 minutes, the Airbus pilot radios, "Well, how was that?
Confused, the jet pilot asks, "What did you do?"
The AirBus pilot laughs and says: "I got up, stretched my legs, walked to the back of the aircraft to use the washroom, then got a cup of coffee and a chocolate fudge pastry."
The moral of the story is: When you’re young, speed and adrenaline seems to be great. But as you get older and wiser, you learn that comfort and peace are more important.
This is called S.O.S.: Slower, Older and Smarter.
Dedicated to all my senior friends ~ it’s time to slow down and enjoy the rest of the trip.

My fellow Americans, over the past several hours, the United States Military pulled off one of the most daring Search and Rescue Operations in U.S. History, for one of our incredible Crew Office Members, who also happens to be a highly respected Colonel, and who I am thrilled to let you know is SAFE and SOUND!” - President Donald J.

A cutting reflection from Cardinal Ratzinger, Good Friday 2005:
"Pilate is not utterly evil. He knows that the condemned man is innocent, and he looks for a way to free him. But his heart is divided. And in the end he lets his own position, his own self-interest, prevail over what is right.
Nor are the men who are shouting and demanding the death of Jesus utterly evil. Many of them, on the day of Pentecost, will feel "cut to the heart," when Peter will say to them: "Jesus of Nazareth, a man attested to you by God... you crucified and killed by the hands of those outside the law."
But at that moment they are caught up in the crowd. They are shouting because everyone else is shouting, and they are shouting the same thing that everyone else is shouting. And in this way, justice is trampled underfoot by weakness, cowardice and fear of the diktat of the ruling mindset. The quiet voice of conscience is drowned out by the cries of the crowd.
Evil draws its power from indecision and concern for what other people think."
my dad just told me a story where this guy went out to start his tractor one morning and the battery was gone and someone left a note that said "i feel so bad for taking this bu my car broke down, ill repay you in the future." and a couple weeks later in the mail he got a hand written letter a money order and 2 tickets to the superbowl so the mar took his wife out to the superbowl and when he got home they had stolen EVERYTHING in his house even the ceiling fans and the stove
Fasting is a visible sign of our inner commitment to turn away from sin and evil with the help of grace, and it must also include other forms of self-denial. Fasting should help us acquire a more sober lifestyle, since austerity alone makes the Christian life strong and authentic. #Lent
Can entomologist tell us why our insects are disappearing? All this tree hugging is an indicator that ants and caterpillars and wasps of our youth are becoming rare. It would have been so entertaining to watch these tree huggers 😆
Kenya has 11 firms in Africa’s 130 fastest-growing companies, according to Statista & Financial Times.
Here is the explanation in the thread.
Save it:
We're still gaslighting ourselves with new vocabulary to cheat ourselves that things have changed. Kenyans, you can hide your heads in the sand all you want, but assessments ARE exams. They are used for the same purpose under 8.4.4. Selection into the next level of education.
And many kids will not get schools. Which was the point of CBC. To gaslight Kenyans and pretend that things had changed. They havent.

Tension between orthodoxy and a heterodox strategy is inescapable. Of note, our debt peer group in 2022 (Ghana, Zambia, Ethiopia) who took IMF prescription are all admitted in Paris. We are back in the market enjoying lowest spreads since our 2014 debut 🏌🏿♂️https://t.co/dwH365UL7q
For those who don’t get the meme, it’s actually straightforward and has a pretty cool backstory.
In WWII, engineers studied returning planes to see where to add armor. At first glance, you’d reinforce the spots riddled with bullet holes. But a mathematician realized the opposite was true — those planes survived *despite* being hit there. The planes that never came back were the ones hit in the untouched areas. Those were the areas that should be reinforced.
It's a classic example of survivorship bias, where you draw conclusions from only the visible “survivors,” ignoring the invisible failures. You see it everywhere. We copy the morning routines of billionaires, forgetting the thousands who followed the same routines and failed. We idolize college dropouts like Jobs and Zuck while ignoring the millions of dropouts who never made it. We look at long-married couples for “secrets,” overlooking the many who did the same things and divorced.
