This over glorification of Musisi really needs to stop. She was at the helm for 7 years and left nothing tangible. Can anyone point out even if just 7 policies or systems she put in place that are still clearly working today? Let’s be honest about impact, not just nostalgia.
I just won a Grammy. I have friends that I came up wit that have won Oscars. None of us thought we would be here but look at God! You cant tell me that you cant dream bigger! You can…and you should!
Habibi, if I were in charge of govt, I’d disband the vanity fair called @KiiraMotors, get in touch with the company producing these simple tractors from China, and redirect the funds from Kiira EV, and all funds from PDM into mass-producing these. Then sell them to Ugandan farmers at a very affordable price - cheaper than a boda - to make them available, & affordable to as many farmers as possible.
For an agricultural nation already earning billions of dollars from coffee exports, these things, in hands of hundreds of tens or hundreds of thousands of our farmers would see our exports skyrocket within a decade. If done well, Ugandans would make a lot of money in exports, and many more people would see reason to get into Agriculture - where we have a competitive advantage in the region.
A whole department at @Makerere’s CEDAT would be dedicated to studying them. Every malfunction would be studied for months to improve them, and we’d invest in making their production ever cheaper. We’d even study different agricultural products and how to make them best adapted to their production. Rice, Matooke, cotton, sugar cane etc. We’d also improve them based on terrain, one model would be great for the hills of Kapchorwa, another for the dry areas of Karamoja, another for the cold hills of Kabale. With time, we’d be exporting these to Kenya, Tanzania, DRC etc and earning extra billions in Forex in addition to agricultural exports.
In twenty or so years, we’d have the money, expertise, and technical knowledge to make bigger tractors, even the kind adapted for making our roads, and building serious projects in Uganda. Who knows, maybe we can then get to a point of making electric buses from
Scratch in 50 years when we can ably compete with Isuzu, Scania, and others. After all, every single car company started very small - something Kiira EV wants us to believe it will not do, then compete even when almost all Auditor General reports show it is nothing but a thorn on the side of taxpayers. A big, white elephant.
We have a guy at my firm. Let’s call him David. David is a senior manager, always the first to crack a joke, buys the team lunch on Fridays, and dresses impeccably. A true "stand-up guy" who seems to have his entire life figured out.
But nobody knew that for the past 8 months, David has been going home to a completely empty 1-bedroom apartment, sleeping on a single mattress on the floor. His colleagues just assume his family relocated abroad. The truth? Family court stripped him of everything.
He spent 12 years breaking his back to build a beautiful home for his wife and two daughters. When the marriage crashed, the court ordered him out to "maintain stability for the kids." He left with just a suitcase. Now, he pays the rent for that big house, plus their school fees, while struggling to feed himself.
But the money isn't even the worst part. It’s the crippling silence. David went from waking up to his daughters jumping on his bed every morning, to having to negotiate with his ex for a 5-minute WhatsApp video call. He was legally demoted to an "every other weekend" uncle.
Men are carrying mountains of grief and hiding it behind office banter and hanging out with the boys. David sits at the lounge with the guys after work, laughing and buying drinks. But when he drives home, he sits in his parked car for an hour in the dark just to cry before facing his empty apartment.
Society has convinced us that a man's heartbreak over losing his family isn't valid. We expect them to lose their homes, their daily access to their kids, and their peace of mind, and just show up to work on Monday in a suit like nothing happened.
Check on your strong male friends. The system is breaking them in half, and they are bleeding out in absolute silence.
I DO NOT GIVE A FUCK
I will be watching ANY Jason Statham movie
He's great at what he does and I enjoy watching him fight on screen
Will never get tired of it
I’m so TIRED OF THIS

The same Bible that slaveholders twisted was the Bible that empowered Frederick Douglass, Harriet Tubman, Sojourner Truth, and countless Black preachers to fight for liberation.
Enslaved Africans did not embrace Christianity because of the whip. They embraced Christ because they saw in Him a suffering Savior who identified with their chains.
There is a difference between Christ and corrupt men.
There is a difference between doctrine and distortion.
There is a difference between the Cross and the rope.
If someone commits evil while claiming Christ, they are condemned by the very Book they claim to follow. The hypocrisy of men does not invalidate the person of Jesus.
Blaming Jesus for the sins of racists is like blaming the Constitution for politicians who violate it.
It confuses principle with abuse of principle.
History is complex.
But the objective record shows this: Christianity has been both misused by oppressors and used as the moral foundation to overthrow oppression.
The Cross is not the problem.
Sin is.

I wonder how much time they have spent caring for someone with frontotemporal dementia. There were 12 people taking turns caring for my grandma. And in the end stages she still needed to go to a care facility, because it was just too much for non medically trained people, in a home environment to safely deal with.
She has been by his side this whole time. Along with his ex wife, and children.
We could talk about how men are 20-30% more likely to just leave a woman after a diagnosis….. but I feel like that won’t fit his narrative.
As much as I appreciate the engagement with this post, I’d like to ask people who want to eat meat but are still upset with this : What else would you think is a better way to kill? Getting shot in the head? Gas exposure? Injections? Mechanical beheading? If they were in the wild, they would be bitten alive by predators, which is even more gory and painful. People will freak out over this, without realizing that the alternative to this system is a big hairy dude smeared in blood as he is slitting the throat of one pig after another with a huge iron blade. On the other hand, this electric stunning looks like an incredibly instant way to kill. If you don’t want to eat an animal that was killed, then become vegetarian like me.
My point is that when you have decided to kill for sure, then any process of killing animals is shocking. Humans have been eating meat for millennia, and I don’t think killing animals can get any better than this.
Most of these examples of "medical misogyny" are nothing of the kind.
They ask exactly this at vasectomy appointments, too. Of course the doc is going to bring up potential future kids before....agreeing to sterilize you.
