​"What is happening in Gaza is a clear-cut genocide, I will never accept this. I am afraid for the future of my own children and the children of all of us, it is disgraceful."

to tell you how stupid the conflict in Ukraine is:

Ukraine’s immediate former commander in chief of the armed forces is a Russian dude who grew up in Russia. his parents and family remain in Russia. his new replacement has a brother and some family members living in Russia lol

If someone paid you $800,000 to not have a single drop of alcohol for a year, would you do it?

The way the 🏔️ talks about “wakati kahawa na majani ilianguka” is how people should be talking about Mumias na akina PanPaper.

Beyond loss of household income, migrant labour (brain drain), collapse of local businesses etc., it was an entire generation robbed of their future.

Stephen A. Smith says marijuana should not be allowed in the NBA because he considers it a performance-enhancing drug

“I consider weed a performance-enhancing drug.”

“It helps calm your nerves.”

“Nerves are part of competition.”

“If you’re using a drug that allows you to calm your nerves and it elevates your poise, that’s a performance enhancer because you are immune to the pressure.”

“It’s Game 73 and you gotta go to the free throw line with two seconds left. You gotta make both to tie the game. That’s nerves.”

“If weed is something that helps that, that’s a performance enhancer.”

“It should not be allowed.”

Former ESPN analyst Ryan Clark said that Uber drivers are “musically profiling” him by automatically playing rap music when he gets in the car.

“I am tired of being musically profiled in Ubers. The driver doesn’t even ask me”

@GacheriNdumba @mariahsudi Good primers on black–coloured boundary becoming less salient as class identities overlap in SA:
1. The Uneasy Boundary Work of “Coconuts” and “Black Diamonds” - Lieve de Coninck

2. South Africa’s Emerging Black Middle Class - Robert Mattes

hopefully the footnotes help 🤙

[aristophanes 🇰🇪 🍂 @iFortknox]

@GacheriNdumba @mariahsudi societies aren’t lego blocks. a 2nd, 3rd, 4th gen African is largely indistinguishable from an AA descended from slavery if they occupy the same class position. there is plenty of data on this. obviously, this doesn’t stop people from amplifying divisions, e.g., FBA influencers

[aristophanes 🇰🇪 🍂 @iFortknox]

@GacheriNdumba @mariahsudi there is plenty of literature on the matter across different regions and neighbourhoods in SA. the coloured/black line is less pronounced and gets less and less pronounced with time in affluent communities like the one the singer was raised.
