We teach men to shrink themselves to the size of their pockets. We say to men, you can be vulnerable, but not too much. You should aim to be successful, but when you are starting small, be silent, don't talk about your salary, otherwise, you would lose sparkle with the woman. We teach men that we cannot be loved for who we are, and in whatever financial standing we find ourselves, in the way that women are.

Happy Men's Mental Health Month.

Nigerians are very creative when punishing criminals until it comes to thieving politicians.

[vittorio @IterIntellectus]

this didn't "happen", we caused it

first, children disappeared from daily life
most women turn 30 without ever holding a baby (they don't have siblings or cousins, and young babies have been removed from shared spaces), never changed a diaper or watched one up close.
you cant want what you've never seen

second, we killed the single income.
the average family needs both parents working just to get to the end of the month, so raising a family well went from hard to something practically impossible (2-3 months of maternity leave should be considered a crime against humanity).

then schools and media, the whole cathedral, all pushed towards the same direction in a systematic brainwashing effort: pushing every girl at the career, motherhood turned into that despicable thing you settle for when the better options run out, "a smaller life". nothing worth desiring, and if you do you must be ostracised

social media just finished the job.
presented childfree as freedom and ideal life, filmed the worst four seconds of a mothers day and called it a warning or "here's motherhood"

and underneath all of it, we removed people from history

no ancestors you owe anything, no descendants you're building for, just one atomic self detached from any sense of continuity. one life with no purpose other than its own selfish goals
especially for western people who have been taught that their ancestors are the most evil humans who ever existed
someone with no past and no future has no reason to see themselves as part of history, and everything they do revolves around their own pleasure
why would you carry something you were raised to be ashamed of?

so a quarter of women raised in captivity selecting for civilizational suicide becomes inevitable
the idea that this was a conscious choice is delusional.
we are the first species in history to get everything it ever wanted: safety, medicine, abundance, ninety good years, and the result is suicide.
everything else alive still manages to reproduce through famine and plagues. we got paradise and stopped

anyone shutting off their own survival drive with no threat in sight is definitionally suicidal and that's where we are now

Yeah not falling for that. Literally how they tricked Troy.

Suddenly all the people who cared about human rights when Russia and Qatar hosted the world cup and suddenly quiet. .. No fancy documentary from the BBC on immigrants rights. No expose on Crime in inner cities (as we saw in South Africa)

Just silence.

Never understood this system where they take children from homes due to lack of funds just to pay someone else monthly to raise your kid.

RIP to a generational British talent.

Anthony Head was best known for his roles in hit TV shows like Buffy and Doctor Who but his best role was Uther Pendragon in Merlin.

His craft in having you hate this evil man yet crushing you with his love for his son was stellar to watch.

[Wes Blumarine @mvsty_mvhd]

That's Uther Pendragon to me

These names pop in mind that I know for sure no man or woman minds playing. There'll be more but some are personal preferences on who they liked more.

What I have encountered is some women who call themselves a "gamergirl" that complain about men making their character female or pick a female character if there is a choice. That female characters are for women only. So it proves men don't fear picking female characters.

What may be what men dislike about female characters these days, that I dislike too, is that they are written "woke". There's no character growth, they lack vulnerability, being forced replacement of the male protagonist, constant lecture about empowerement/patriarchy, ...

Before DEI and wokeness, female characters in games and movies were actually written well that made it enjoying to play or watch. So it's not a fear of playing a female character but disliking the anti-men propaganda along with bad writing.

It's starting.

The company with the cheapest coding model at a good enough quality is set to win big, as devs + companies become more price sensitive.

Of all the major players, Cursor is in a v good position with their Composer model. Plus eg Factory with smart routing

[DROID @droidbuilds]

“drop a model smarter than Opus 4.7”

“make it consume 4x more tokens”

“slowly nerf it until it behaves like Sonnet”

“lower the speed slightly so nobody notices”

“rebrand the original version as Opus 4.8 later”

“increase token usage again”

Many have been saying

[Ossy Vincent @ossynoya]

terrorism-related deaths in Afghanistan since 2025 till date: 486

terrorism-related deaths in Nigeria since 2025 till date: 4,654 deaths linked to armed groups and over 3,000 kidnappings.

Nigeria is actually worse than Afghanistan.

One of the problems with AI coding is that the narrative on X (and other social media platforms) is mostly set by people who don't have the deep coding and software engineering experience of the likes of Bjarne Stroustrup.

Meanwhile the fundamental problems remain unaddressed:

1- AI generates super-human volumes of code
2- The code can be buggy, have security holes, be inefficient, etc.
3- The person who owns the code can be mostly unaware that such problems exist, so they won't even go after fixing them
4- The people who can actually fix the code (i.e., the software engineers who understand design, architecture, security best practices, etc.) are so overwhelmed that some of them will give up

Meanwhile, AI companies are constantly pushing the narrative that you don't need to look at the code and the AI will fix everything itself. What they don't tell you is that if your code fails, you'll be held accountable, not them.

The same old story:

- Discrepancy in favors of women -> Women are simple better/men are lazy
- Discrepancy in favors of men -> Women are victims of misogyny/men are privileged

Welcome to the new order folks!

Remember that whatever niche you will find men being underrepresented,

It is because they are now falling behind and can’t keep up with the girlies.

However, women being underrepresented is due to structural inequality and marginalization.

[STUNNER @Cr7Godbrand]

If these meetings were made up entirely of women, women would be celebrating it as “women’s empowerment” and saying women are taking over industries and leadership spaces.

But the moment men gather, work, or build something together without female involvement, it suddenly becomes a problem.

It makes women uncomfortable simply because men are operating independently. There seems to be this constant expectation that every male space must include women, while female-only spaces are openly encouraged and protected.

Women have entered and now dominate many professions and educational fields, yet the biggest focus is still on areas like STEM because those are fields where men continue to outperform and outnumber them in many sectors.

Instead of encouraging fair competition and organic interest, the conversation often turns into demanding inclusion, quotas, or forced representation.

The is not equality anymore,it is influence and control over every space men traditionally built or dominated. Any field where men still hold a strong presence becomes labeled as a problem that needs to be “fixed.”

This was at Goldman Sachs Recruitment Day in 2019, at Victoria Island, Lagos (similar to Shell's Recruitment Day).

I didn't make the cut then because there were badder guys from UNILAG, OAU and co, who were and are witches and wizards in coding.

Anyway, my team came second overall and I used sweet mouth to present our technical solution.

This was Goldman Sachs o, able to assemble at least 200 bad guys within Lagos (the picture doesn't show the full hall, which is quite sizeable).

But one bros who knows the local ecosystem more than oyinbo said we don't have world-class talent.

Anyway, most people in this picture had sponsored flight and relocation benefits to the UK and other countries shortly after this picture was taken.

However, you still have people like this within Nigeria's shores.

[Bukola OYEBOADE @ooyeboade]

On this Moniepoint talent debate, there's a part hiring managers don't like to admit and that's "we can't find talent at our budget." So the blanket statement of "No talent in Nigeria" sometimes means "no talent at our budget."
A recruiter recently pitched me a CFO role at ~60%

[maddy catgirlprostate @catgirlprostate]

The simple truth is that anyone with anything close to that level of empathy simply wouldn't be able to reach anything close to bezos levels of wealthy, because that amount of money requires unbelievable amounts of human exploitation
