Don't mistake my silence for guilt. If you stop and respond to every barking dog, you'll eventually become one. Caged up in your tiny mind barking at shadows.
Let people believe what they want, I haven't lost any friends along the way.
This COP has been trying y'all.
So far we've survived two floods in the pavilions, wires short-circuiting, 2 protests at the venue and one fire. Vinaka vaka levu Brazil. First & Last. 😂
#COP30
The world can move on without the United States.
100 years ago, the British Empire dominated global commerce, commanding more than 20% of the world’s wealth. Many believed its sun would never set.
200 years ago, France bestrode Europe’s stage, its armies feared, its culture envied. Napoleon declared himself immortal.
400 years ago, the Spanish crown reigned from Manila to Mexico, its treasure fleets groaning with silver and silk. The kings thought their glory would last eternal.
Each empire proclaimed itself indispensable. Each was ultimately eclipsed.
Power wanes, influence migrates, and legitimacy dies the moment it’s assumed rather than earned. Should America forfeit the world’s respect, it will discover what every fallen empire learned too late:
The world moves on. Always.
For the past year, millions of us around the world have made repeated, desperate calls for a ceasefire. We demanded an end to the genocide. We warned of a disastrous regional conflict.
We were ignored.
Governments have fuelled the machinery of war. Their indifference to human life has destroyed prospects for peace and endangered us all.
All of this violence was entirely avoidable. Without urgent de-escalation, more unimaginable horror is on the horizon.
It’s time to listen to the voices of ordinary people across the globe calling for peace.
That means ending the root cause of this appalling cycle of violence: the occupation of Palestine.
Mijain Lopez makes history! He is the first athlete to be a 5x Olympic gold medalist in the same event, and is also the oldest medalist in Olympic wrestling history at 41 years old. His journey is over, leaving his shoes on the mat and retiring. What a moment. #wrestling
Shout out to the gang behind BUTAKOCI!

"The U.S. Olympic team that’ll soon head to the Paris Games escaped with a 101-100 win over South Sudan in London, rallying from a 16-point deficit to avoid perhaps the biggest upset in the program’s history."
@tae_lina95 Don't blame you gang. There's a few people trying to push a certain narrative to mask their toxicity. In the process, bystanders start believing their BS and repeat it unknowingly. Same people would never say anything to a person to their face.
Up to 21,000 children are estimated to be missing in #Gaza.
We may never know what happened to some of these children.
But every one of them had a story, a family, & dreams stolen from them💔#CeasefireNow
