Damn, malls on every corner, and they’re replacing Nairobi’s cultural and creative spaces like Pallets Café on James Gichuru. They all have the same lineup: Optica, ChapaCopy, Carrefour Market, Whiskey Hub. How many Opticas does one city need? What are we not seeing
The football World needs to come together and fight for Mbappe. This is ridiculous. Mbappe didn’t create any of those memes. The football world did. #Istandwithmbappe
a reminder that mark zuckerberg blacklisted Lula’s campaign on meta platforms and it took the courts intervention to stop that going into the second round.
In 1945, Georgia executed Lena Baker, a 44-year-old Black mother of three, after a trial that lasted only a few hours. Baker had worked as a domestic worker and was caring for Ernest Knight, a white mill owner who had reportedly confined and abused her. On April 30, 1944, during a struggle over a pistol at the mill, Knight was shot and killed. Baker immediately went to the local coroner and told him what had happened, insisting that she had acted in self-defense. She was nevertheless convicted of capital murder by an all-white jury and sentenced to death. Her own final statement maintained that she acted because she believed she would be killed.
Lena Baker was executed in Georgia's electric chair on March 5, 1945. For decades, her story received little public attention, and she was buried without a proper grave marker. Her family eventually fought to have the case reconsidered, and in 2005, sixty years after her execution, Georgia granted her a posthumous pardon. The state did not declare her innocent, but its Board of Pardons and Paroles acknowledged that denying her clemency had been a “grievous error” and that the case called for mercy. Today, Baker's name is remembered as part of the history of racial injustice, unequal justice and the Black women whose lives were often given little protection under Jim Crow.
You sabotaged Pogba and forced yourself into the spotlight as the main man.
McTominay was sold because you were competing with him for the second-striker position.
You sabotaged Ronaldo and manipulated the narrative to make yourself look like the saint.
You refused to let Ronaldo take penalties despite being a midfielder while he was competing for the Golden Boot.
When Ronaldo left, you went into interviews and painted him as the problem, claiming United was now playing as a team.
You enjoyed every bit of it when it was happening to others. Now, it’s your turn to taste your own medicine.
Proper 🐀.

the problem with this regime is that nobody in it takes their jobs seriously.
the cabinet secretary should hold a press conference to address this important issue in granular detail, not send out this juvenile nonsense.
