BREAKING VIDEO: Kenya’s Sabastian Sawe becomes the first person ever to win a regular marathon in under two hours, setting a new world record at the London Marathon in 1:59:30!

Kenyans invented running™

Anyone else notice the surge in the number of container and other ships waiting at anchor in our waters all up and down Coast? The Israel-US war with Iran seems to be pushing ocean-going vessels to the safety of our waters.

The care of the weakest is a very important sign of the quality of the social life of a nation. Let us remember that the elderly are in need of assistance, but first and foremost need to be listened to, because they preserve the wisdom of a people. We owe them gratitude, because they have faced great difficulties for the good of the community. #ApostolicJourney #Angola

The difference between a PhD and a Masters

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Telling kids to sit still doesn’t build discipline. It stifles imagination.

Evidence: When students are given freedom to fidget and wiggle in their seats, they pay just as much attention—and generate more creative ideas.

Physical activity unlocks mental agility.

Another nail in the astrology coffin:

152 astrologers did no better than random chance at guessing people’s charts from detailed info about them. Astrologers helped design the test, and "experts" failed at the same rate as novices.

Horoscopes may be fun, but they ain't real.

Forcing people back to the office backfires.

Data on >3M tech & finance workers: After return-to-office mandates, firms lose stars and struggle to attract new talent. The most likely to quit are senior, skilled, & female employees.

Flexibility is a feature of a great workplace.

Most people recognize that AI companions aren't a replacement for meaningful connection.

9 new studies: When the same compassion comes from a human rather than a chatbot, people feel more supported.

AI can mimic empathy, but it can't care. Long live human interaction.

Yesterday, we had the opportunity to host senior leaders from across Kenya’s banking sector for an evening of meaningful dialogue and shared vision at our Partners in Progress event.

Leadership isn't measured by how many followers you have. It's gauged by how may lives you improve.

Selfish leaders divide people to advance personal agendas. Servant leaders unite people to achieve common goals.

The best leaders are those who bring out the best in others.

How good is your critical thinking as a manager? https://t.co/6iXM2Ef8uh

BREAKING: Scientists are staging a “science fair” in the lobby of a Congressional building to tell elected officials about the critical knowledge the US will lose because their research grants have been canceled.

[Rev. Benjamin Cremer @Brcremer]

It will always baffle me how easily people will believe that the poor, the sick, the marginalized, and the immigrant are the cause for all their problems, rather than the people in the most powerful positions in their country who refuse to fix problems and exploit them instead.

Most of the people we try to impress are busy trying to impress someone else.

The spotlight effect is the habit of overestimating how much others focus on us. We don't see how preoccupied they are with themselves.

True confidence stems from self-respect, not social approval.

America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.
