The racist, dehumanising remarks against @KMbappe by Paraguayan Sen. Celeste Amarilla are despicable, regrettably not isolated.

States & sports organisations must prevent acts of racism & discrimination, and ensure independent and effective accountability. Social media must also prevent and address racial discrimination on their platforms.

Big moves for the PayPal gang!

If you get paid via PayPal for your online gigs, listen up! PayPal has officially applied to become a full-blown U.S. Bank. They’ve also tapped Mara McNeill (former CEO of Toyota Financial Savings Bank) to lead it.

[john warukenya @johnwarukenya]

Why does this matter for us in Kenya?
Security: Your balance would be FDIC-insured (like a real bank account). Business Growth: They plan to offer more direct lending to small businesses. Legitimacy: It moves PayPal from just being a wallet to a formal financial institution.
