Judges are rightfully outraged by counsel citing fictitious cases. We are officers of the court. We don’t cite non-existent cases; we twist real ones into non-existent meanings.

[Jamaica Observer @JamaicaObserver]

By every traditional measure, this generation of young Jamaicans should be thriving.

They are among the most educated cohorts the country has ever produced. They are technologically adaptive, globally aware, entrepreneurial, and remarkably resilient. They speak the language of digital commerce, remote work, artificial intelligence, finance, branding, coding, and content creation with a fluency previous generations could scarcely imagine. They have done what they were instructed to do: Pursue education, avoid criminality, remain disciplined, and work relentlessly towards upward mobility.

Extremely frightening. Extremely.

[Nationwide90FM @NationwideRadio]

About 5 per cent of Jamaica's gross domestic product, GDP, is lost to corruption.

That's the word from Commissioner of the Revenue Protection Division, RPD, of the finance ministry Cranston Morgan. RPD.

Kingston needs to be greened.

Plant trees... not palm trees though. Do living roofs and walls. Too much radiant heat making people hot & sick in Kingston. Gotta make this happen via policy. New developments must be compelled to include trees. Kingston is a pizza oven.

Would be grateful if George pointed us to the rules that apparently impair efficient spending- especially in emergency context. Some people have made up their mind and can’t bother to deal with the facts.

[Nationwide90FM @NationwideRadio]

George provides further opinion on the Auditor General Department's report into unspent monies from the government's Hurricane Melissa relief fund.

He questions if the rules limit efficient spending. #WOMM

BREAKING: 🇨🇳 President of China, Xi Jinping:

“A certain country, obsessed with maintaining its hegemony, has done everything possible to cripple emerging markets and developing nations. Whoever progresses rapidly becomes a target of containment; whoever catches up becomes a threat. But all of this is futile. The world we live in today is a community with a shared future. People do not want a new Cold War; they want a world of lasting peace and universal security."

@jaevionn I blame you. You were supposed to park in the wrong place first so that she could scream at you and tell you that yuh cyaa park deh suh. That’s how she would direct you properly. You mash up the woman move and a come look sympathy?

@DuncanAdley Lol! #supervisa

Please remember that publishing the name of someone accused or convicted of incest automatically exposes the child.

This is why media houses do not name suspects or perpetrators. It is protect the CHILD!

@tytheyt You could check out the recent Jamaican case of R v Jolyan Silvera. I’m not sure if there’s a written judgment as yet but the case has been reported by the media. It also is a case where the defendant engaged the provocation defense; his manslaughter plea was accepted.

Economics Twitter- How is labour productivity calculated? Is it based on any other metric like GMI per capita? @keenanfalconer

[ProsecutorsPodcast @ProsecutorsPod]

Lawyers. If you're going to use chatgpt to research, at least run the cites through westlaw and see if they exist. On long briefs I'll use chatgpt AFTER the brief is written to check for grammar and to cite check. Not often, but occasionally, it will tell me a key case stands for the opposite proposition I cited it for. That's a pretty important find...if true. Guess what? It's never true. AI is a tool to get to the destination. It is not the destination.

[Kenyatta FORTIS4EVER Powell @kenyatta_pow]

Rape has a very specific definition under Jamaican law. So, when you demand that the Gleaner report that a man has been convicted of raping two girls when he wasn't even charged with rape, you are demanding that the Gleaner lie to you.

@Gordonswaby @annaliesalin Why should schools have websites ? What are some of the benefits as you see it ?

[LNR @JamaicanLabrat]

Imagine sitting in front of a staff member at the Companies Office while they take your ID from you and make copies...

Then your documents are rejected because a copy of your ID wasn't attached to the form...

And they give you back the paper with your photocopied ID on it...

@ChrisHenry1690 Making up new requirements everyday and strangling the deal

[Dr. Chris Tufton @christufton]

In a job like mine, you learn quickly what really matters.
Family. Friendship. Health.
Love keeps you centred.
Grateful for that. Today and every day.
