💣 Robin Van Persie on the challenge Arsenal will face next season 😳
“Let’s be honest, if Arsenal stay focused next season, this league is finished before it starts. The only thing that can stop Arsenal is Arsenal. I look at the other clubs and I don’t see one side that can match their energy, their football or their hunger for an entire season.
When this team plays with confidence and intensity, I don’t see another side in England that can truly live with them over 38 games.
They are younger, faster and hungrier than most of the teams chasing them. City are not the same machine they were three or four years ago, Liverpool are rebuilding in certain areas, and the others are still trying to catch up.
If Arsenal keep the same mentality, nobody competes with them consistently. The danger is only if they lose focus or start believing the job is already done.”
Employee: My entire career I was told: “Give proper notice.” “Leave professionally.” “Don’t burn bridges.”
HR: Professionalism is always important.
Employee: Apparently only for employees.
HR: …
Employee: Because when the company wants to end things early, suddenly professionalism becomes “common practice.”
HR: Your manager was informed.
Employee: That explains why he avoided me all day.
HR: I’m sorry you feel that way.
Employee: No goodbye. No thank you. Just a phone call and a disabled login.
HR: We wish you the best moving forward.
Employee: That’s the part I finally understand now.
HR: Sorry?
Employee: The company was never my safety net. I was supposed to build my own all along.
WHAT ICU NURSES KNOW ABOUT THE LAST HOURS OF LIFE THAT FAMILIES ARE NEVER PREPARED FOR:
1. Hearing is the last sense to go. Many patients can hear everything being said in the room long after they appear unconscious. Nurses know this. Most families do not act like it.
2. The body does not shut down all at once. It withdraws blood and oxygen from the extremities first, working inward toward the heart. The cold hands and feet you notice are the body making a final decision about what to protect.
3. A sudden, unexpected improvement in energy and alertness hours before death is not a good sign. Nurses recognize it immediately. Families almost always mistake it for recovery.
4. The sound called the death rattle is not pain. It is simply the throat relaxing and losing muscle control. But no amount of medical explanation prepares a family for hearing it for the first time.
5. Most people do not die during the night. The body has a biological rhythm and many deaths occur in the early hours of morning, between 3am and 5am, when the nervous system is at its lowest.
6. Patients often wait. Nurses have watched people hold on for days until a specific person arrives, or a specific word is spoken, or permission is quietly given to let go. It happens too consistently to be coincidence.
7. The words "we did everything we could" are sometimes true and sometimes the most painful half-truth a family will ever receive without knowing it.
8. Families who are not present at the moment of death carry guilt that no counselor fully resolves. Nurses see this guilt begin forming in real time and cannot always stop it.
9. The face relaxes completely at the moment of death in a way that is impossible to describe until you have seen it. Nurses say it looks like the person finally put something down they had been carrying for a very long time.
10. Many ICU nurses privately believe that the most painful deaths are not the ones with the most physical suffering. They are the ones where the patient dies surrounded by family members who are fighting with each other.
11. The thing families almost never say, but almost always should, is simply this: it is okay to go. Those four words, spoken out loud, do something that medicine cannot explain and nurses have witnessed more times than they can count.
12. Nurses grieve too. They learn the names, the histories, the family dynamics, and the small personal details of every patient. They cry in break rooms, in parking lots, and on drives home. Then they walk back in the next morning and do it all over again, because someone has to, and they chose to be that person.
Watched an Alex Mwakideu interview the other day he was talking to the legendary judge from Vioja Mahakamani. Millennials, you know her ~That no-nonsense mama who took zero nonsense in that courtroom.
Now here’s the wild part they never had scripts. Not a single one. They’d just show up, pick roles, agree on the case, and go. Cameras rolling, take one, done.
So every punchline Alphonse Makacha and Dot Makokha ever dropped? Pure improvisation. No rehearsal. Nothing prepared. Just talent doing its thing in real time.
Kenya really had something special with that crew.
And here’s the part that gets me AG Amos Wako was fully behind the show. He’d supply them with real court cases and actual judgments from Kenyan courts. So when the judge passed her verdict on screen, it wasn’t made up. It was legally accurate, straight from the constitution.
Comedy on the surface. Civic education underneath.
That’s a level of craft most productions today can’t touch.
Golden era. Salute to those legends. 🫡
Tumefanya ile kitu tena.
FULL TIME. Arsenal 2 – Everton 0. 🔴⚪
Three massive points for the Gunners! 💪Hii ni kawaida sasa. 😌❤️
The EPL trophy is on its way to the Emirates. 🏆 Na haturingi.
It is difficult to know what goes on in the mind of a man... Men, especially those with families, are always fighting silent battles, carrying burdens that are untold, but still manage to smile... Often afraid of how the future will be... Planning... Thinking... In silent.
When you see that man paying rent, school fees, making sure you never sleep hungry, helps almost the whole tribe at home, and sometimes others within and without your side, don't take it as a right... Behind it are debts, sweat, and blood. But mostly they don't say. When you see them happy for a minute, let them be, for no one appreciates them, but themselves.
Otherwise, khabusie!
A sinus infection (sinusitis) is inflammation of the nasal sinuses, often causing facial pain/pressure, congestion, thick mucus, and headache. This is how it is treated 🤧
Everyone here can feel his relief ❤️😍❤️
