When the world’s greatest runner meets a world leader - they run. 🏃🏾♂️🇰🇪
President Emmanuel Macron laced up in Nairobi today, joining Eliud Kipchoge for a run through the city that raised champions. No podium. No protocol. Just the road, the rhythm, and the spirit of Kenya.
This is what Magical Kenya does to you.

After impressively tabling and securing a UN Resolution declaring the transatlantic slave trade as the gravest crime against humanity, Ghana must show a good example, like Benin, by officially apologising for being an accomplice in capturing and selling slaves to the Europeans.
@cobbo3 This list is an incredible showcase of African excellence and a quiet indictment of 🇬🇭’s global ambition. We have Cocoa that feeds the world’s chocolate industry, a music scene that exports Afrobeats energy and a democracy Africa looks to. Yet nothing here carries the flag.
@lee_mamz Paul Kalanithi’s courage to face death while still asking what makes life worth living stays with you long after the last page. One of the most profound things I’ve ever read. 👌🏾
If your child becomes a reader, about 80% of the education job is already done. That's my honest assessment after working in education for over thirty years. Everything else is secondary. Most parents think science education is important. Yes it is. But if you can't read the biology textbook, you're not going to learn biology.
Reading is the meta-skill that enables all other skills. History requires reading. Science requires reading. Even math increasingly requires reading as it becomes more sophisticated. The child who reads voraciously will figure out everything else. The child who doesn't will struggle with everything.
F-18 carrier launch (note how the pilot keeps his hand OFF the yoke until he's airborne to prevent G-force of the cat shot from causing them to pull back on the stick)
Once it's all set, depending on aircraft weight and conditions, it will take about two seconds to cover the deck´s 300 feet and reach 160 knots in 2 seconds, while the pilot is hit by 3-4 Gs.
I´ve seen this often compared to F1 car performance: do note the F1 car IS NOT built for top acceleration - F1 cars are built to, within a set of rules, to have the better lap time around a track, not just speed.
As a comparison, a top fuel dragster can outpace an F-18 catapult launch*, because the dragster is built just for that: fastest acceleration from a standing start.
BUT with one note: it can´t fly! 😎
Mexico’s defense minister Ricardo Trevilla was moved to tears as he mourned 25 National Guard military police members killed in retaliatory violence following the operation that led to the capture and death of cartel boss Nemesio 'El Mencho' Oseguera https://t.co/ZzZTs2LOwU
