being a perfectionist cost me $150,000, 2 years, and 1 failed company
you always see the wins here on X, but this was one of my biggest Ls!
here’s what happened:
This woman is TIRED of the excuses and she's not holding back anymore A kid got killed over water bottles and somehow it's still everyone else's fault? When even Black folks are saying enough is enough... maybe listen huh?! 😬
Legendary painter Patrick Mukabi, fondly known as Panye, has died at the age of 56 after illness, leaving behind a momentous legacy as an artist and mentor who guided a generation of artists.
Born in Nairobi in 1969 as the fourth of seven children, Mukabi initially pursued graphic design before going back to his first passion, the fine arts. He built a career primarily as a painter, working mostly in acrylic on canvas, with a strong interest in the human figure.

A remembrance for a man who painted the warmth, rhythm, and everyday beauty of our city. Patrick Mukabi - Mentor, Master and Legend. Your brush touched us all. We shall never forget!!❤️🕊️
#RIPPatrickMukabi#Panye
On the Kenyan art scene, Mukabi was more than a master. He was a giant tree which nestled younger generations until they developed wings.
His death has shut the curtains to the career of one of the most prolific visual artists Kenya has ever had.

THINGS ANIMALS KNOW THAT HUMANS DON'T:
1. Elephants can detect rain falling 150 miles away through vibrations in the ground, felt through their feet, and will begin walking toward it before any meteorological instrument registers the incoming storm.
2. Dogs can smell cancer, Parkinson's disease, epileptic seizures before they happen, and changes in blood sugar with accuracy rates that consistently outperform early-stage medical testing equipment.
3. Sharks can detect one drop of blood diluted across an Olympic swimming pool worth of water. Their electrosensory system can also detect the heartbeat of a hidden animal through solid sand.
4. Pigeons have magnetite crystals embedded in their beaks,a biological compass that allows them to navigate using the Earth's magnetic field with an accuracy that GPS navigation still cannot consistently match.
5. Crows can recognize and remember individual human faces for years. They hold grudges, pass information about specific humans to their offspring, and have been documented leaving gifts for humans who treated them kindly.
6. Bees make collective decisions democratically. When a hive needs a new home, scouts return and perform dances indicating different locations other bees evaluate and vote, and the option with the most sustained enthusiasm wins.
7. Mantis shrimps can see 16 types of color receptors compared to humans' three. They perceive colors, ultraviolet, and polarized light simultaneously experiencing a visual reality so complex humans have no framework to even imagine it.
8. Migratory birds navigate partly by seeing the Earth's magnetic field as a visual overlay on their normal vision essentially they have a built-in map projected onto their sight that humans are completely blind to.
9. Whales sing in dialects. Different populations have distinct songs that are culturally passed down, evolve over time, and change when populations come into contact with each other exactly like human language evolution.
10. Rats show measurable empathy. In experiments they consistently freed trapped companions even when doing so gave them no reward and would share food with hungry strangers before eating themselves.
11. Octopuses have neurons distributed throughout their arms each arm can taste, feel, problem-solve, and act semi-independently of the brain. They experience the world as eight semi-separate thinking entities simultaneously.
12. Elephants are among the only animals that recognize death as death. They return to the bones of deceased family members years later, handle them carefully, and display behavior that has no practical survival function only what looks like grief.
13. Dolphins have been documented teaching their young to use tools specifically placing sea sponges on their snouts to protect themselves while foraging on sharp ocean floors. This is culturally transmitted knowledge, not instinct.
14. Some species of jellyfish are biologically immortal. When stressed or aging, Turritopsis dohrnii reverts to its juvenile state and restarts its life cycle,it has no known natural lifespan limit.
15. Cats don't meow at other cats in the wild. The meow was developed specifically and exclusively as a communication tool directed at humans,they learned to talk to us in a frequency that mimics an infant's cry because it gets results.
@iQwatson Victims about pitch tent here to 'cook' you for 'disrespecting' @Mwafreeka in his show instead of going to the same show to respect him. Ngoja tu puny tuamke.
@MiritiWilly@Mutuabrian_M I have noticed these sharp boys are making a killing out of their pseudo intellect on crypto/shitcoins/tockens. They are Kanyari's selling hope so when the target client is available and ready, mbona wasimpee pesa. We shall see them mwaka ikiisha praising God for the harvest.
There was a time when mockery required talent.
Satirists studied language. Cartoonists trained their hands. Comedians sharpened timing like a blade.
Ridicule was rare, and because it was rare, it carried weight. Today, mockery is instant. Type a sentence.

Y'all remember that one time they locked you in your house and pretended the hospitals were full, all the while having so much downtime they could do elaborate dances in the halls?
