Wow, interesting read here. Thanks for the message.

[NOBUNAGA🇯🇵🏯_夏樹蒼依 @japan_nobunaga]

I needed to move a sofa.

I mentioned this to an American. He said, "You know anybody with a truck?"

I did not know anybody with a truck.

He looked at me with real concern. Not pity. Concern. The way you look at a man who has told you he does not have a name.

"You gotta know somebody with a truck."

I asked how one acquires such a person.

He said, "You just do."

This is the third time I have received that answer in this country. It is the answer to everything here. You just do. There is no process. There is only the eventual fact of having.

He said, "Ask Kevin."

I do not know a Kevin. He said Kevin like I should. He said it the way you say a shared uncle.

I met Kevin four days later. Kevin owns a truck. Kevin does not own a truck for himself. Nobody owns a truck for themselves. Kevin owns a truck for a fifteen mile radius.

Inside I said: THIS MAN HAS TAKEN A VOW. HE DID NOT ANNOUNCE IT. HE SIMPLY PURCHASED A BED AND ACCEPTED THE CONSEQUENCES.

Kevin arrived on Saturday. He brought the truck. He also brought a second man.

I had not asked for a second man.

The second man's name is Tony. Tony came because Kevin came. Tony did not know me. Tony did not ask what we were moving. Tony brought gloves.

They moved the sofa in eleven minutes.

I offered them money. Both of them laughed at the same time, which felt rehearsed and was not.

I asked what I owed them.

Kevin said, "Buy the pizza."

That is the price. That is the entire economy. The truck costs one pizza and the pizza is not negotiable and the pizza is also not expensive and everyone knows what size.

Inside I said: THE FEE IS FIXED ACROSS THE ENTIRE NATION AND WAS SET BY NO ONE.

We ate on the floor because the sofa was against the wall and none of us wanted to be the first to sit on it.

Tony told me his daughter plays soccer. I asked if she is good. He said, "She's aggressive."

I still think about that.

Three weeks later, Kevin texted me.

"You free Sunday? Helping Tony move a fridge."

He did not ask if I wanted to. He informed me of a fridge.

Inside I said: I HAVE BEEN CALLED UP. I DID NOT ENLIST. THE PAPERS WERE FILED ON MY BEHALF.

I went. I moved the fridge. I have no truck. I contributed only arms.

Afterward, a man I had never met asked me if I knew anybody with a truck.

I said, "Yeah, I got a guy."

I have a guy.

I am somebody's guy now, too. Tony has told two people about me.

He describes me as "the guy who's strong for his size."

I have never been prouder of a sentence in my life.

This was happening throughout the day yesterday; I heard the news at around 2 pm and again at around 6 pm. On both occasions, they spoke of the Ebola death toll in Congo and Uganda. Congo and Uganda. Congo and Uganda.
DM the news editors' emails; I'll be happy to write to them. As should every patriotic Ugandan.

This is propaganda itself because there’s nothing like the whole planet celebrated him in 2022.

Can the 7 surviving historicals: Gen. Yoweri Museveni, Gen. Salim Saleh (Caleb Akandwanaho), Lt. Gen. Ivan Koreta, Maj. Gen. Kahinda Otafiire, Brig. Julius Chihandae, Col. Fred Mwesigye, and President Paul Kagame, please meet for a scorecard review of the past 40 years. It would be nice to hear from them if this is the Uganda they envisaged in 1986. #JustSaying

Madame Celeste Amarilla,
Vous êtes une femme méprisable et indigne de sa fonction.
Vous ne représentez pas le Paraguay, ce pays qui a transpiré la passion et l’honneur tout au long de la compétition. Par votre inconscience et votre racisme décomplexé, le monde entier a déjà oublié le parcours et l’effort historique que vos joueurs ont réalisés durant cette coupe du monde pour laisser place à une dame incompétente donnant la pire image possible de son pays.
Je ne laisserai jamais aux gens comme elle, la liberté de laisser propager leur haine et leur racisme à travers le monde.

[Nada Andersen @NadaAndersen]

For thirty years and more, I looked at Miria Matembe with utmost respect. Even when she was too loud or too bold, I had nothing but respect for her. She spoke her mind with people's interests at heart. She never changed. She is a treasure we must protect. A national treasure. A woman of character. A fighter for a better Uganda. A voice of wisdom and reason. Wherever she is, I hope she is safe and protected. Because, honestly, if Miria Matembe ends up in jail, we will lose the last crumbs of decency as a country.

[Nizeye Brian @Bnizeye]

People from countries mentioned are saying they don’t need the hand outs while Ugandans are crying for them in the comments 🤣🤣. Uganda’s problem has never been insufficient resources.

The problem is corruption and warped priorities by the government.

Good morning. Has she resigned yet? NO HALF BAKED RESIGNATIONS, FULL RESIGNATION AS A MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT.

“This clown wants to make France an AI leader with €30M.”

€30 million → to attract and support around forty top-tier international researchers. They chose France for its values and its commitment to science.

Sometimes it’s too slow…

€54 billion → mobilized as early as 2022 to build France 2030. A France that advances health, climate, and fundamental science by investing boldly in artificial intelligence.

Over €100 billion → in private investment announced at the Paris AI Summit by French and international companies to develop AI in France.

That’s it?

#1 → In 2025, France ranked first among countries attracting foreign investment to build data centers. More billions invested in our regions and in our talent.

Yes. Here in France, we believe in science. And AI is here to elevate, to build, to move the world forward, not to insult. 🙊

I declare that today, France recognizes the State of Palestine.

[THE SKIN DOCTOR @theskindoctor13]

Tariffs are taxes paid by American importers, not foreign govts, meaning the money “flowing in” is actually coming from US businesses and consumers, not China, India or anyone else.

It’s like robbing your own citizens and calling it foreign income. For someone who claims to be a business genius, not understanding this basic economic principle either points to a dangerously low IQ or deliberate deception, and neither is reassuring.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

[Nada Andersen @NadaAndersen]

Nothing in life prepared me for the impunity of politicians, technocrats, government employees, and their immediate and extended families.
When you are unprepared, you don't know how to act or deal with it.
I would understand corruption or stealing if there was something to look at as a result.
For example, if there is a road but some few compounds also get tarmacked.
Or there's a hospital and a small house nearby.
But this grand theft of taxes and resources, it beats me. Where is this level of greed bred? How hungry were they as children to grab and 'eat' everything today? Did mothers never slap them for stealing around the house?
I know kids get burnt with hot water for stealing 200 shillings but these kids don't grow to be these leaders, I assure you. These could be aliens and we could be in an alien experiment to see how far can the patience of the people stretch.
This is my only explanation.

My opinion is that #manutd made a mistake by selling Scott McTominay , today it is difficult to replace a player like him.Conte is smart man 👍
