If you want to reach 60 without a diabetes diagnosis, a heart problem, or a waist you cannot get back (especially past 40), watch out for:

[🧬Maxpein🧬 @maximumpain333]

Duncan Trussell recorded this conversation with his mother while she was facing terminal cancer.

What you’re hearing isn’t scripted. It isn’t performed. It’s a son sitting with his dying mother trying to hold onto every word before the words run out.
And she, the one facing the end, is the one doing the comforting.

That is what makes these conversations so extraordinary. Not the wisdom itself, as profound as it is. But who it’s coming from. A woman who had every reason to be consumed by her own fear choosing instead to spend what little time remained helping her son understand how to live without her.

These recordings became the heart of The Midnight Gospel. And I always go back to watch it again.

They remain some of the most honest conversations about death, love and what it means to be human ever put on screen…

[Dr. Brian Hoeflinger, MD @drhoeflinger]

I’m a retired brain surgeon and I wanna tell you why you feel like life is passing by. I just need one minute to explain this to you so hang in there.

Repetitive daily routines stop the brain from recording clear detailed memories. When every day looks the same, your brain does not track time the same as a clock does. It tracks change. If nothing new happens then days, months, and years start to blur together.

This is know as Time compression. When life lacks variety, your brain compresses past days together, making it feel like time is sped up.

To stop feeling like life is passing you by, add new experiences to your life. Break routine habits, like changing your daily home routine, taking a different route to work, or trying a new hobby.

Schedule small trips or plan new adventures so your days do not blend together.

Practice mindfulness by staying fully focused on what you are doing right now and not trying to race off to the next task.

Keep a journal and write down happy memories or memorable parts of the day before you go to sleep.

Take deep, calm breaths when you feel anxious or rushed to return your focus to the moment.

You can and you will retrain your brain to not feel like life is passing you by by following these few simple measures.

Once in a blue moon, Kameme FM does a God’s Job. This morning, they forced Samson Kandindi Kanyoro to swallow his own vomit. He tried sweating, breathing heavily, wiping his nose and deflecting, but there was nowhere to hide….

There is a liver and pancreas epidemic wiping out Kenyan men right now and the silence is deafening.

Nobody is talking about it.

Nobody is panicking.

But we are still burying people.

The cause?

Kenyan alcohol.

This month ALONE I’ve counted 8 friends admitted with liver or pancreatic damage.

Eight. Bloated stomachs, abdominal pain so severe it won’t subside no matter what the doctors do.

The UK has put Kenya on a watchlist for dangerous alcohol.

Rwanda has banned some of our liquor outright.

Other countries are shutting it out too.

The whole world can see what’s poisoning us and we’re still pouring it.

A few years ago we buried a brilliant CEO. Liver destroyed by drink.

By the time the doctors understood what was happening, he was already dead.

Getting a legit drink in this country is now a gamble with your life.

I have friends who will only drink in ONE place they trust, because everywhere else is a coin toss between a night out and a hospital bed.

The doctors aren’t sugarcoating it anymore.

They’re telling survivors: “Take one sip and tell your family where you want to be buried.”

Drink the same brand abroad and it tastes like heaven.

Same label. Same bottle. Different poison.

That’s how we know it’s us.

We cannot keep killing our own people for profit.

I am tired of visiting friends in hospital for alcohol poisoning.

How many more before somebody cracks down on this madness? @InteriorKE @kipmurkomen @NACADAKenya

Eng. Luka Kipchumba Kimeli, DG @KeNHAKenya 🫡

I greet you today in the name of Lord Vishnu.

Not because I suspect you practice Hinduism, but because your fear for Lord Jesus is clearly at zero.

Probably because of Pastor Kanyari and his colleagues who’ve been using that name as a business name for so long you stopped taking it seriously.

But be assured Engineer, He is still very much operational.

I come to you most days NOT because I want your job.

I come because I genuinely believe your employment letter has my name written all over it.

Now look at this image.

That mountain of sand.

Sitting. In the MIDDLE of Waiyaki Way.

Opposite Njuguna’s place.

On one of the busiest highways in East Africa.

Just sitting there for days.

No warning signs.

No barriers. No apology. Just sand.

Proud sand. Unbothered sand.

Engineer, I know your children are abroad. Safe. Warm.

Probably in a country where a civil servant would lose sleep and their job if they left a sand mountain on a highway overnight.

But Wafula from Kangemi?

His children are squeezed in a single room in Kangemi.

They have nowhere to go.

But they want to see him come home.

Not in a casket.

Kamau from Kinoo?

Yes he drinks.

Yes he’s occasionally useless to his family on weekends.

But even his family who have every reason to complain would still rather hear his noise every evening than attend his funeral because a contractor left unmarked sand on Waiyaki Way at night.

This is conduct unbecoming Engineer.

Your equivalent abroad where your children live loses sleep over things like this.

You? You’re sleeping like a man with zero outstanding items.

You and I must agree on one thing today.

Let us hate mediocrity together.

Let us set a bare minimum, you from UoN, me from Kingeero Polytechnic and agree that mountains of sand on highways with zero warnings is below that minimum.

This has to be cleared today.

Not tomorrow. Today!

Your favorite villager. Still watching. Always watching. 👀
