Another “woke” historical fact They don’t want you to know: the USA and USSR had very different opinions on black people

To summarize: HuggingFace got autonomously compromised by a model from an American company. HF then tried to use American frontier model(s) to defend themselves, but were blocked by guardrails. HF then had to turn to open source Chinese models to defend themselves from another American company.

🚨BREAKING: Hugging Face, the world's largest open-source AI platform, had to use a Chinese AI model to defend against the OpenAI hack.

US frontier models refused to help with forensic analysis because their safety guardrails couldn't tell the difference between the attacker and the defense team.

Hugging Face fell back on China's GLM 5.2 running on its own servers to complete the investigation.

To Nigerians, all African politicians are corrupt.

But all American politicians are their potential saviour.

You see, when I figured that Nigerians are fantastically stupid was during EndSARS.

These motherfuckers were fighting against police brutality and their government and calling on international organisations to rescue them.

They were tagging Amnesty International, the United Nations, Western presidents, and politicians.

Another one was when a lot of these morons were calling on Donald Trump to come rescue Nigerian Christians.

And I confirmed. This stupidity must be genetic. Because most of these people are educated.

How do you look at Palestine, Cuba, Yemen, Libya, Afghanistan, Vietnam, Venezuela, etc destroyed by the same politicians and international interest groups and be dumb enough to think your help can ever come from people who contribute to your suffering?

Up until this day, with all the available free information in the world.

Nigerians still call on Western governments and politicians who are by far more corrupt than their local politicians to come save them from their allies, the smaller evil, their politicians.

They defend Western politicians and adore people like Donald Trump with multiple sexual offence accusations, insider trader accusations, war criminal, racist, etc and idolise him.

Then go to him to help them deal with Tinubu who in the world of crimes would be considered an apprentice to Trump.

Sometimes human stupidity is fascinating!

THIS DEVELOPER JUST KILLED THE VOICE CLONING INDUSTRY WITH ONE GITHUB REPO.

Claude can now speak in your own voice across 23 languages through a single MCP call.

Free. Local. Offline.

What used to cost $22 to $330/month with ElevenLabs is now open source under the MIT license.

Jamie Pine just dropped voicebox on GitHub, and it already has over 41k stars.

It clones any voice from just 10 seconds of audio, lets you choose from seven different TTS engines, and runs entirely on your own machine, so your voice and recordings never leave your computer.

Connect it to Claude Code, Cursor, Cline, or any MCP compatible agent with a single voicebox.speak call, and your AI can start replying in your cloned voice.

It also adds global voice dictation that works in any app with one hotkey and can generate speech in 23 languages, including Arabic, Japanese, and Polish.

One open source app now replaces both ElevenLabs and Wispr Flow.

If you’ve been waiting to give your AI agent a voice, this is it.

That christian religion knowledge and islamic religion knowledge, rather than history in our educational curriculum, is the main reason we're not reasoning properly like human beings with functioning brains in this part of the world.

If we know our history, we won't be here.

King James and a few other Roman’s collected a collection of scrolls. Arranged them then the papacy decided which will be for them and which will go out into the world.

Just Incase you are asking because you thought Isreal did, no they did not. That terrorist nation who has caused wards globally was formed in 1948. A political decision that then introduced high level terrorism and espionage and control globally.

Before them, everyone was minding their business and figuring things out.

[chi... @nnamanichi93717]

Disturbing the neighborhood with megaphone in the name of religious preaching..

Blocking the major road in the name of praying to Allah..

Absolving your leaders of all their faults because you think your suffering is just gods plan..

These are the brain damage that religion has brought to Africa, and that disease needs to be cured urgently.

BURKINA FASO'S INSTITUTE OF BLACK PEOPLES

In the 1980s, Thomas Sankara dreamed of creating a world-class centre dedicated to Black history and culture. It was to be called the Institute of Black Peoples, a project which Sankara took very seriously. In 1986, he took concrete steps to prepare for the creation of this institute. The following year, he was assassinated, and nothing substantial came out of his idea. That is, until the current president of Burkina Faso, President Ibrahim Traoré, took the torch.

On 30 June 2026, the Institute, now relaunched under the name Farafina Institute of Black Peoples, appointed its steering committee. The committee includes some of the most prominent faces in the French-speaking Pan-African movement, such as Nathalie Yamb and Franklin Nyamsi. The president of the Institute is former Prime Minister Dr Apollinaire Joachimson Kyelem de Tambela, who was involved in the Democratic People's Revolution under Thomas Sankara. During that time, Kyelem de Tambela was studying in French; however, he organised a diasporic cell of the Committees for the Defence of the Revolution.

Burkina Faso has been working to forge closer relationships with Africans across the continent and the diaspora since Traoré came to power. The country is a part of the Pan-African Alliance of Sahel States Confederation, which seeks to unify Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger. In November 2025, Burkina Faso welcomed a large delegation of diasporic Africans from the United States and the Caribbean, to whom the country granted permanent residency status.

A developer turned a $5 ESP32 into a tiny but surprisingly powerful ad blocker.
The custom firmware blocks 537,000 ad and tracking domains using only around 50KB of RAM.

Instead of storing the full blocklist in memory, it keeps it in the ESP32’s flash storage.
It blocks requests in about 10 milliseconds, fast enough for everyday browsing.

Reflections on My 65th Birthday

Today, July 19, 2026, marks my 65th birthday. At sixty-five, birthdays should naturally become moments of deep reflection - moments to look back with gratitude to Almighty God for His abundant graces, examine the journey so far, and ask how the remaining years can be devoted more meaningfully to the service of God and humanity.

Perhaps in countries where basic human needs have largely been met, where institutions function effectively, and where citizens enjoy a greater measure of security and dignity, such attainments may rightly call for elaborate celebrations. In Nigeria, however, our reality compels a different kind of reflection.

Our nation is blessed with enormous human and natural resources, yet millions of our people continue to struggle with challenges that demand our collective attention. We cannot afford to celebrate ourselves excessively while many around us are burdened by poverty, ill health, unemployment, and limited opportunities. Rather, occasions such as this should remind us of our responsibility to contribute towards building a nation where future generations can genuinely celebrate.

This is why I have always seen birthdays not merely as occasions for personal celebration, but as opportunities for sober reflection, thanksgiving, and a renewed commitment to service.

As I reflected today, I came to a simple conclusion: the greatest celebration of life is not what we receive from others, but the lives we can touch positively.

This conviction has guided my approach throughout my years in business, in the corporate world, and as Governor of Anambra State. In each of these roles, I have tried to see every privilege not as a personal entitlement but as an opportunity to improve the lives of others.

Whenever people or institutions sought to celebrate me with expensive gifts or elaborate ceremonies, I encouraged them instead to redirect those resources towards projects that would have a lasting impact. Over the years, this philosophy has resulted in the building of schools, hostel blocks, support to schools, and other facilities that continue to benefit the less privileged. I have always believed that resources meant for personal comfort can often be transformed into instruments of hope for many.

The greatest honour anyone can receive is not found in gifts, ceremonies, or public admiration, but in knowing that one’s life has contributed, however modestly, to making another person’s life better.

Today, therefore, I give thanks to Almighty God for the gift of life and for bringing me to this important milestone of 65 years. I began the day with a Mass of Thanksgiving in Onitsha, thanking God for His grace, protection, guidance, and the countless blessings He has bestowed upon me over the years.

After the Mass, I proceeded to St. Raphael’s Hospital, Umueri, a small rural hospital in Anambra East Local Government Area. In furtherance of my belief that birthdays should be occasions for service rather than self-indulgence, I donated the sum of ₦10 million to support the hospital’s work of providing quality healthcare to the people.

As I was conducted around the hospital and saw patients in their moments of vulnerability, I was reminded again of our shared humanity. Some of those receiving care may not even have the financial means to settle their hospital bills, yet they deserve compassion, dignity, and access to quality healthcare. Their condition was a reminder that leadership, in its truest form, is about caring for people, especially those who cannot repay our kindness.

Hospitals and schools remain two of the greatest investments any society can make. A hospital preserves life; a school shapes the future. Supporting both is, therefore, not just an act of charity - it is an investment in humanity and in the future of our nation.
