FORTIS CADERE CEDERE NON POTEST

[The Notorious YGL @jahmekyagyal]

As someone who suffers from sinus issues & has had pneumonia 3x, this is scary. And like Kyle, many times I just work through it. Sad thing is it’s such a part of my life that I don’t know if I’d be able to tell this is serious and I need medical intervention now, just like Kyle

[sar. @maketheapex]

The results of Kyle Busch's cause of death were released. He started with a sinus infection a couple of weeks ago, he had a cough. He kept racing, because that's what drivers do. It turned into pneumonia. Pneumonia is treatable, 450 million people get it a year. So he kept racing.

But then it turned into sepsis. Sepsis can be fatal in a matter of hours.

He was in the racing sim when things went badly, they took him from there directly to the hospital. Within 24 hours one of the biggest racing legends was dead at just 41 years old. From something that was treatable, something he raced through.

Losing Kyle has been a hard hit to the racing community, reminding everyone how real these drivers are.

But now all I keep thinking is how our guys in F1 do the same thing. Motorsport puts tremendous pressure on drivers to compete and show up every week.

In the 2022 Monza race weekend, Alex Albon drove through 2 practices Friday, felt terrible, was diagnosed with appendicitis, went into surgery Saturday, something went wrong and caused respiratory failure, then put on a ventilator and into a medically induced coma. ....And 2 weeks later was back racing in Singapore.

In 2023, Max Verstappen was sick and missed media day in Saudi Arabia, but came back to drive through all sessions in the race weekend, revealing later he was so sick it felt like he "was missing a lung."

Lando in 2024 was so sick in a way that wouldn't go away, he coughed and hacked his way through every single lap on the track for nearly 2 months.

This video from Singapore last year, moments before getting in the car for one of the most physically exhausting races of the season he had to sit down on the grid, his team saying he was so sick he looked green. But Lando was fighting for a championship. If he hadn't driven through it, he wouldn't be the 2025 World Champion.

And now we've lost the most winningest driver in NASCAR history, holding an all-time record of 234 career victories across the sport's top three national series, because he kept driving. He won a race less than a week before he died. He drove through it.

I don't know what we do about that. I don't know what could ever change to make that any less horrifying.

But I think its worth talking about. If nothing else, Kyle Busch's legacy deserves it.

AN OPEN LETTER TO THE PARLIAMENT OF JAMAICA, TO THE SENATE, TO THE PRIME MINISTER, TO EVERY COUNCILLOR, EVERY MP, AND EVERY PERSON WHO HAS EVER DARED TO SPEAK IN THE NAME OF THE JAMAICAN PEOPLE

Kingston, Jamaica. May 2026.

To those entrusted with the mandate of this nation,

I want to begin by telling you something you may not expect to hear from someone my age. I love Jamaica. Not in the way people love a flag or a song or a t-shirt they wear on independence day. I love this country the way you love something you are genuinely afraid of losing. The way you love something that has already given you so much and is now, right before your eyes, being quietly taken apart by the very people who were supposed to protect it.

I am Janiel McEwan. I am not a politician. I hold no office, carry no party card, and have no personal score to settle with anyone named in this letter. I am a young Jamaican who watches, who reads, who listens, and who has decided that silence at this particular moment in our history would be its own kind of betrayal. Because the things that are happening in this country's political life right now are not small. They are not routine. They are the kinds of things that, if left unaddressed, become permanent. They become who we are. And I refuse to accept that this is who we are.

So I am writing this letter. I am asking you to read it. Not to respond to it, not to spin it, not to use it as ammunition against the other side. Simply to sit with it. To let it reach whatever part of you existed before the party, before the platform, before the ambition. The part that remembers why you said you wanted to serve Jamaica in the first place.

That part of you is who I am writing to.

We Did Not Bleed For This

August 6, 1962. I need you to go back there with me for a moment. Not as a political exercise. Not as a talking point. Go back there as a human being and feel the weight of what that day meant. Men and women who had known nothing but the boot of colonial authority, who had organised without resources, argued without platforms, sacrificed without guarantee of victory, they gave us something that most of the world has never been given. They gave us the right to govern ourselves. To sit in our own Parliament, to speak in our own name, to shape our own future with our own hands.

Norman Washington Manley did not argue the case for self-governance with the precision of his legal mind so that Gordon House could become a room where grown men make jokes about a woman's body. Alexander Bustamante did not stare down power with nothing but his voice and his nerve, organising the workers of this island into something that could not be ignored, so that the chamber he helped build could, sixty-four years later, descend into shouting matches that a child watching at home would be embarrassed by. They gave us something sacred. The question I am putting to every single person who holds political office in Jamaica today is a simple one. What have you done with it?

Because what I am watching is not stewardship. It is not service. What I am watching, with grief I cannot fully put into words, is the slow and almost comfortable unravelling of the standard that was supposed to separate a free, self-governing people from the chaos that those who doubted us predicted. And the most frightening thing about that unravelling is how normal it has begun to feel.

After killing her they then treat her body like a dead dog, dragging her on the road and flinging her in the service vehicle.

You all focusing on the conduct and missing the point. The police stopped me once for reasonable suspicion on liguanea. Mind you I have no tint and the windows winded. He proceeded to ask me what I do for a living and if I have a man. That man did ntn wrong…

Dear Men,

Avoid church women whose real husband is the pastor. You will always come second to the pulpit, the phone calls, the “spiritual authority.” You’re not dating a woman, you’re competing with a man in a collar. Walk away early.

Little did @ChronixxMusic know … when JAH was speaking to him, he would be writing the soundtrack to take Jamaica through the greatest catastrophe of its history. The songs mean so much more this week than last week. Inspiration comes from JAH

[Jamaica Observer @JamaicaObserver]

The Government of Jamaica has issued an “all-clear” following the passage of Hurricane Melissa. This means that all utility companies should commence restoration and recovery operations across the island. The update was provided by Information Minister Senator Dana Morris Dixon during a media conference on Wednesday.

“We are also asking and encouraging entities like our supermarkets, our wholesales and gas stations and pharmacies...to open and allow communitities to have access to these essential goods and services.”
