My English Professor last semester was complaining to us about how the school library was charging him for losing a book he'd returned. I work in the library, so after class I did some poking around and found the book on the shelf and took it to the head librarian. It turned out it just hadn't been checked in, which was an easy enough fix. I wrote an email to the Professor letting him know that I'd "taken care of the problem" and it "shouldn't bother him anymore," signed it with my full name, and sent it.

Now might be a good time to mention that I have a very Italian name. For the rest of the semester, my roommate and classmates referred to me as the leader of the Librarian Mafia.

I mourn the passing of Patrick Mukabi, the artist behind the iconic paintings in all Java House wall paintings. As a newbie journalist, my bery first assignment was to cover the story of how Mukabi memorialised the 1998 bombing of the US embassy in Nairobi. I have followed his work over the years and my best series from his collection was Market Women. Mukabi did a lot of work teaching youngsters to paint. But above all, he immortalised many aspects of Nairobi social life. He is a national treasure. The city of Nairobi owes him a great of gratitude. We need a City Arts Council to recognise such artists Wangui Maina and Dennis Onsarigo.

i think it's beautiful how life gives you infinite chances to experience better. just when you think you'll never find better, you walk right into better and your heart softens again.

Whenever you cannot decide, it is important to remember that it is often better to make a wrong choice, learn from it and move on than sit in the purgatory of analysis paralysis. That’s the real torture.

[goma @soigomaa]

we live on a planet where trees warn each other of danger through underground networks. where octopuses dream. where elephants return to the bones of their dead and stand over them in silence. where bees communicate through dance, showing each other where to fly. where flowers bloom...where crows remember human faces -especially those who were cruel to them - and pass that memory on to their young. where ants build entire cities. where cats purr at a frequency that can help heal bones. where forests, after fires, grow flowers first.

@Sammyveli French was invented in 2000 by Ivory Coast band Magic System when they released the their song “1er Gou.”

Before then the people of France only communicated through grunts.

It was through learning to move their hips, words came pouring out.

Every time you get a cancer biopsy, the lab makes a tissue slide that costs about $5. It shows the shape of your cells under a microscope, and every cancer patient already has one on file.

There’s a much fancier version of that test called multiplex immunofluorescence (basically a protein-level map showing which immune cells are near your tumor and what they’re doing). It costs thousands of dollars per sample, takes specialized equipment most hospitals don’t have, and barely scales. But it’s the kind of data oncologists need to figure out whether immunotherapy will actually work for you. Right now, only about 20 to 40% of cancer patients respond to immunotherapy, and one of the biggest reasons is that doctors can’t easily tell whether a tumor is “hot” (immune cells actively fighting it) or “cold” (immune system ignoring it).

Microsoft, Providence Health, and the University of Washington trained an AI to analyze the $5 slide and predict what the expensive test would show across 21 different protein markers. They called it GigaTIME, trained it on 40 million cells in which both the cheap slide and the expensive test coexisted, and then turned it loose on 14,256 real cancer patients across 51 hospitals in 7 US states.

The results landed in Cell, one of the most selective journals in biology. The model generated about 300,000 virtual protein maps covering 24 cancer types and 306 subtypes. It found 1,234 real, verified connections between immune cell behavior, genetic mutations, tumor staging, and patient survival that were previously invisible at this scale. When they tested it against a completely separate database of 10,200 cancer patients, the results matched up almost perfectly (0.88 out of 1.0 agreement).

Nature Methods named spatial proteomics (mapping where specific proteins sit inside your tissue) its Method of the Year in 2024, and specifically cited GigaTIME in a March 2026 update as a model that “democratizes” this kind of analysis. The full model is open-source on Hugging Face. Any cancer research lab with archived biopsy slides, and most of them have thousands, can now run virtual immune profiling without buying a single piece of new equipment.

Blue therapy on Netflix has to be 100% ragebait and propaganda that you can fix incompetence and incompatibility in therapy.

She wants to get married and have kids, he doesn’t.
So break up.

She pays majority of the bills while he splurges on himself and lies about going to work, and isn’t actually looking for a new job?
So break up.

He’s mean to you and he’s a deadbeat daddy that left to get a tattoo while you gave birth?
So break up.

What the fuck is therapist supposed to do besides tell them to break up. This is what people mean when they say therapy cannot fix certain circumstances, you need a totally new environment away from the people stressing you. Not trying to learn how to unnaturally coexist with them.

No one tells you that parenting is just relearning the world through someone who thinks worms are friends & birds are miracles. It’s the most healing thing I’ve ever done. My daughter looked out the window this morning & said, everything is green & growing. I told her, you too. And something inside me whispered, so are you. Now I’m watching her hold flowers up to the sun while the light bends like it recognizes her. It’s funny, every spring I think I’m teaching my child about the world & every spring she proves she’s the one teaching me how to see it.

Everyone talks about how Africa needs to “leverage its natural resources” and I don't think people are paying attention to what's actually happening.

Botswana was the success story. 

They did everything right with their diamonds for decades, saved money, built solid institutions, avoided the corruption that wrecked other resource-rich countries. 

Then lab-grown diamonds showed up.

Debswana's sales dropped over 50% in the first nine months of 2024 compared to the year before. Anglo American has written down De Beers' value by $4.5 billion over two years. The company is now valued at around $4 billion, less than what Anglo paid for just a 40% stake back in 2011.

Lab-grown diamonds now make up around 45-50% of engagement ring purchases in the US. 

They are chemically identical to natural diamonds and cost 80-85% less. Gen Z and millennials don't care that it came from the ground.

And Botswana can't do anything about it.

Same pattern with cocoa. Ghana's production collapsed from over a million tons to around 617,000 this season, with 81% of growing areas hit by disease. 

Ecuador, Indonesia, Vietnam are all expanding to fill the gap with better yields and fewer headaches.

And that famous “Africa has 30% of world's critical minerals” stat everyone loves to repeat? 

When you actually look at the minerals that matter for the green transition, the ones on standard lists like lithium, cobalt, nickel, copper, rare earths, Africa's share of global reserves is under 5%. 

The 30% number comes from cherry-picking a few minerals where Africa is strong and ignoring the full picture.

When your commodity becomes difficult to deal with, the market doesn't wait. 

It builds alternatives and moves on.

Switzerland has limited natural resources. Nigeria has oil, natural gas, gold, coal, iron ore, and cocoa. Yet Switzerland's GDP per capita is about 95 times higher.

The difference was never what's in the ground.
