Question 1: What are the seat numbers closest to the emergency exit signs on this plane?

Question 2: What part of the life vest should you blow to inflate it?

Question 3: What term best describes people who stand up immediately after a plane lands?

[funso @TheFolorunso]

Airlines should make flights more interesting by conducting a quiz immediately after the in-flight safety demonstration. Passengers who fail it will be relocated to middle seats. Best performers get aisle seats (which you’ll realize is better than window seats the older you get).

Ernest Hemingway described Paris as “a moveable feast”. As one part of the city is burning from protests about school standards, dachshunds are strutting in full pomp and pageantry in another part.

A real sausage party! The annual Sausage Walk took place in Paris — a dachshund walk along the Champs-Élysées

Hundreds of dogs walked 1.4 kilometers in colorful costumes, from Parisians in berets and striped shirts to cowboys.

The event has been held since 2018 and brings together dachshund owners from all over Europe.

This year, the walk coincided with World Animal Day, so the organizers raised money for a foundation that helps abandoned and abused dachshunds.

The most repeated “confession” I hear from my 30+ peers is how they are all 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨 their parents — in mannerisms, habits and tastes.

It’s remarkable that a 43-year-old died and the reaction from his compatriots is more celebratory than mournful. I wasn’t familiar with Wicknell Chivayo but he seemed like a crony capitalist. As we strive for our daily bread we must be conscious of the legacy we’ll leave behind.

It’s not the worst diction, considering many folks in a neighboring West African country pronounce the singular form as 𝘥𝘦𝘬𝘴. The same way these people 𝘢𝘹𝘦 questions. 😅

[funso @TheFolorunso]

Listening to a BBC program on how plastic wastes are being converted to school desks in Ghana, and something notable was how the three Ghanaians interviewed pronounced the word, ‘desks’. It was pronounced in two syllables: 𝘥𝘦𝘴𝘬𝘦𝘴. 😩

You cannot rank the best TV shows in the 21st century without courting controversy (for both inclusions and omissions), but how do you not have Derry Girls among the top 100? Do better, New York Times!

If there’s one thing I appreciate about middle-class parenting in the West, it’s instilling the value of dignified labour into teens.

I lived in New England long enough to acquire that habit of a quick, polite smile when walking past strangers. I carried that habit into Lagos and smiled at couple of airport hangabouts. Na billing dem wan use kill me. I quickly regained my Somolu hard-guy face. 😅

He has since won 2 grand slams. Never listen to naysayers. 😅

Zverev is never winning a grand slam. Never.

Ben Shelton gave his fans false hope by winning that third set. Americans will have to wait few more years before one of their own wins the U.S. Open again.

About a year ago, a Princeton student named Kyler Zhou was sitting in traffic in New Jersey. At some point he was so bored that he put on a podcast with… me 🙃

It was my usual talk about the talent crisis. About the smartest kids of a generation going to work for McKinsey and Goldman Sachs, while the biggest problems in the world go unsolved, blablabla, you may have heard it by now ;)

What’s interesting is what happened next. As soon as Kyler got home, he emailed me and The School for Moral Ambition (the organization we started to get talented people working on the world's biggest problems).

Kyler wanted to bring this to Princeton.

Well, we told him no 😅. We had just launched our first university fellowship at Harvard, and there was no capacity for a second campus...

Kyler decided to ignore us. Three days into the semester, he launched the first* Moral Ambition Chapter at a university in the United States. In just a few days, more than 120 Princeton students signed up. In November of last year I visited, and the energy was simply AMAZING.

Since then, everything has been escalating. Students have started Moral Ambition Chapters at Brown, Stanford, Vanderbilt, Georgetown and 5 other campuses – often before we've heard of them.

Which brings me to today. After the launch of our Harvard Fellowship (8% of ALL Harvard juniors applied to the first cohort!), we're now also launching Moral Ambition Fellowships at Princeton, Brown, Vanderbilt and Stanford. The program is simple: twelve super talented students per campus, a $15,000 stipend, and a summer working full-time on the most important causes of our time, like lead poisoning or child poverty or ending factory farming or AI safety etc. – instead of polishing a boring corporate pitch deck.

It's just incredible to see how quickly this movement is growing. Every year, thousands of brilliant graduates are funneled into corporate careers that add little to the world. More and more of them are starting to walk the other way.

(For students: applications for Harvard, Princeton, Brown and Vanderbilt are open now. Stanford opens October 6. https://t.co/3dM17vtNbC)

* Brown University claims that they were actually the first – I've decided to stay neutral in this quarrel 😅

America and Europe are at the center of immigration debates in the media, but it’s worth noting that Pakistan is carrying out large-scale deportation of millions of Afghans to a country that is being run by the Taliban. BBC seems to be the only major media house reporting this.
