At 6 years old i transferred to public school and an indian girl told me my parents must be pnm. I asked what pnm meant and she said "pong nigga mouth" . This was in 2000 in std 1. Let's not act like what he is saying is false.

In 1989, Nike filmed an AD in Kenya featuring a Samburu tribesman wearing traditional clothing alongside a pair of Nike sneakers. The advertisement ended with his spoken words, which were translated for viewers as the company's famous slogan: “Just Do It.”

Years later, an anthropologist who had spent two years living among the Samburu people claimed the translation was not accurate. According to him, the tribesman's actual remark was closer to: “I don't want these. Give me big shoes.”

Whether the result of a misunderstanding, a translation error, or a creative marketing decision remains a subject of debate. What is clear is that the story has since become a widely cited example of how cultural messages can sometimes be reshaped when they cross linguistic and commercial boundaries.

The Samburu are a semi-nomadic pastoralist people of northern Kenya, closely related to the Maasai. Traditionally, cattle have played a central role in their economy, culture, and social status, making livestock an important measure of wealth and community standing.

The story serves as a reminder that language, context, and culture matter, especially when global brands seek to tell local stories to international audiences.

I saw a post on Reddit that said that “The underlying purpose of AI is to allow wealth to access skill while removing from the skilled the ability to access wealth.” And I don’t think I’ve ever seen AI described so incisively.

This Irish pub flipped its flag to support Ivory Coast at the World Cup.

WOW.

AlJazeera just dropped a ONE HOUR documentary about ISRAEL’s CRIMES against the PALESTINIANS.

This is very HARD TO WATCH.

The 2026 World Cup will be the priciest ever—the cheapest group-stage tickets cost twice as much as they did in Qatar four years ago. FIFA is banking on dynamic pricing to treble matchday revenue to a record $3bn. But it risks pricing out the most passionate fans who make the tournament such a valuable broadcast product.

On May 25, 2026 Pope Leo issued an apology for the Catholic Church’s role in authorizing and legitimizing the enslavement of African people. The apology was buried on page 176 of a 245 paragraph document, an encyclical primarily focused on artificial intelligence.

En arrivant au Brésil et en étant témoin de l'esclavage de près, Charles Darwin écrivit :

« Près de Rio de Janeiro, ma voisine d'en face était une vieille dame qui possédait des vis-pouces avec lesquelles elle écrasait les doigts de ses esclaves. Dans une maison où j'avais séjourné auparavant, un jeune serviteur mulâtre était, chaque jour et à toute heure, insulté, battu et pourchassé avec une fureur capable de décourager jusqu'au plus vil des animaux.

J'ai vu un enfant de six ou sept ans frappé à la tête avec un fouet (avant que je puisse intervenir) parce qu'il m'avait servi un verre d'eau légèrement trouble...

Et ce sont là des actes commis par des hommes qui prétendent aimer leur prochain comme eux-mêmes, qui croient en Dieu, et qui prient pour que Sa volonté soit faite sur terre !

Le sang bout dans nos veines et nos cœurs s'emballent quand nous songeons que nous, les Anglais, et nos descendants américains avec leurs cris fanfarons pour la liberté, avons été et sommes encore coupables de cet énorme crime. »

(Charles Darwin, Le Voyage du Beagle)
