I am finishing coding the data. It's like a sea of sadness, helplessness, feelings of guilt. I have never been in touch with such difficult data.

This week alone:

DOJ opens an investigation into the woman Trump raped.

The White House is caught steering a $620 million contract to Don Jr.’s firm.

The Pentagon hands out a $10 billion contract after Trump buys stock in the company.

Foreign governments are caught funneling hundreds of millions into a random JPMorgan account tied to Trump’s “Board of Peace” with no oversight.

It’s just Thursday.

The corruption isn’t hidden anymore. It’s happening out in the open.

@FemiMind The essay in your blog that I received this morning was lyrical in its descriptions of R.S. Thomas's poetry and your own perceptions of poetry and the world.

Nearly 60 years after the Nigerian Civil War, the BBC is set to release "Surviving Biafra," a documentary by Grammy-winning Nigerian director Meji Alabi.

According to the BBC, the film features accounts from soldiers and civilians on both sides of the conflict. Out June 1. 🎬

Thousands of generations of humans lived and died never knowing what a sunset looked like anywhere but Earth.

You're in the first generation that doesn't have to.

This is a sunset on Mars.

140 million miles away from us.

Nigeria is backward in every index of development. Nigeria has not been blessed with forthright leaders with vision. It's a pity.

If this is all true, then Robert Kenyon, the Reform candidate in Makerfield, in clearly bonkers & deeply unpleasant, and it's no wonder he was Facebook friends with the self-declared fascist Gary Raikes. Reform's vetting processes seem about as effective as a chocolate teapot.

Breaking news!

Dr Soumya Swaminathan @doctorsoumya has been elected as FRS, Fellow of Royal Society, one of the highest global hours that a scientist can receive.
@royalsociety

With her father Bharat Ratna Prof Swaminathan also being elected as FRS, this is the first daughter-father FRS duo from India.

Also she is the second Indian woman scientist being elected in 365 years history of Royal Society, the first being Prof Gagandeep Kang.

Very proud moment for Indian Science & indeed for us Indians.

Heartiest congratulations dear Soumya!

🚨SHOCKING: A Nigerian student just proved AI can outperform every human competitor in the country's most brutal academic exam.

And she did it without a tutor, a prep school, or a single traditional study guide.

She scored 372 out of 400. The national average was below 200. She sat alone with a chatbot. She fed it her handwritten notes. It summarized them. She quizzed it. It quizzed her back. She did not cram. She did not panic. She won.

Her exact words: "I used AI to summarise my notes, break them down, and explain things I didn't understand. It was like having a personal teacher available at 2am."

She is 17 years old. She had no private lessons. She spent zero naira on a prep course.

372 out of 400. Top score in a nation of 220 million. Achieved with a free chatbot.

Not a fluke. Not a shortcut. A systematic replacement of an entire tutoring industry.

But this is not a story about one girl acing one exam. It is a story about what happens when AI becomes the only tutor that 800 million students in the developing world can actually afford. The prep school industry generates $200 billion a year globally. It exists because knowledge was gated behind money. That gate just opened.

Every parent paying for tutors. Every prep school charging fees. Every educational institution selling access to knowledge.

What happens when a 17-year-old with a phone and a chatbot beats all of them?
