[Hugh Laurie @hughlaurie]

Thanks for your critique, Janet. We actually tried a couple of episodes where House (Hugh Laurie) (please put the brackets in the right place) gets it right first time, but they were only 6 minutes long. NBC weren’t happy. Then we tried some where House never gets it right and the patient dies. The audience wasn’t happy.

One could apply your trenchant analysis to other art forms: JS Bach wrote 30 Goldberg variations on the same chord structure; Frida Kahlo painted 50 portraits of herself; Henry Moore, what??

The point is, or was, variations on a theme; if all you see is hospital, medical blah blah, then it wasn’t meant for you.

Nonetheless, I look forward to your first novel!

The Masters sponsorship deal with IBM might be one of the best in all of sports.

As one of the tournament's four primary sponsors, IBM receives a private hospitality cabin to host clients and exclusive access to TV commercial inventory.

But the real value comes with the Masters app.

As part of its sponsorship deal, IBM built and maintains the Masters app. I'm told they now have a team of 30-35 employees who work on the app year-round, despite almost all of its usage coming just one week each year.

The Masters app does the simple stuff so well, showing every shot from every player all tournament long. But IBM was also among the first companies to leverage artificial intelligence to enhance the fan experience.

Using lasers positioned around the course, IBM pinpoints the exact coordinates of a golf ball after every single shot. The course is then split into more than 200,000 zones, with IBM cross-checking each shot against decades worth of data to accurately estimate how a player's scoring odds change throughout a round.

This type of innovation is a win-win for everyone.

Augusta National gets sponsorship $$ plus a technical partner who built and maintains the best app in sports.

And while IBM spends millions each year on its Masters sponsorship deal, the tournament serves as a global platform for marketing, sales, and client entertainment.

That type of partnership is exactly why the two brands are now celebrating their 30th year working together — and it's something every other event should try to copy.

Some people may say I sound repetitive, even boring, because I keep repeating the same thing every weekend for the past couple of years. The truth is the capital has been regressing, and it has regressed because of bad leadership, incompetence, neglect and corruption.

What we clearly lack is a true visionary for the capital. Someone who understands planning, order and long term thinking. Instead we have a system where institutions that should work together have all failed in their responsibility. From @ntsa_kenya @MuriraKinoti @KURAroads @KeNHAKenya @NRB_County047 all are part of the mess.

When enforcement is weak, planning is ignored and corruption is tolerated, the result is exactly what we see today. A capital city slowly regressing instead of progressing.

Then come the usual excuses. Nairobi was built on a swamp. It is a historical problem. It cannot be fixed in three years.

Yet the same leadership once spoke confidently about the city going vertical with buildings of up to 75 floors, without even addressing those same historical issues of drainage, sewer systems and basic infrastructure first.
You cannot talk about skyscrapers when you cannot even manage the ground beneath them.

[Alfayaz 11 @Alfayaz11]

After taking a short break from our regular inspections, Gucci and I decided to drive the same Westlands route today. As usual, nothing has changed for the better. In fact, it has only gotten worse, even though we have been highlighting these issues for years now.

Oh, and by the way, the car wash is still fully operational right on the highway.

These are the things our county government @047County @KURAroads @MuriraKinoti @KeNHAKenya seems proud of. The pictures in the thread show just how low the capital has fallen.

[Alfayaz 11 @Alfayaz11]

Last night, at a friend’s house party, I bumped into many old friends, prominent businessmen and women, lawyers, and other professionals some of whom I’ve known for years and others I got to know over the course of the evening.

One of the main topics of conversation across the various groups was just how far we’ve regressed as a nation and more so as a city. We found ourselves reminiscing about the old days, from the 80s and 90s to the early 2000s and reflecting on how Nairobi, and Kenya in general, once had a real sense of progress and pride.

We spoke about how we had proper restaurants, bars, and clubs and how the city in many ways felt ahead of its time. Looking back now, it genuinely felt as though we were living in the future. But today, it all feels like a distant dream because none of that remains. It’s only now, having lost it all, that we truly appreciate just how special those times were.

I met several businessmen and women who have since moved on into other ventures like real estate and other investments simply because they said the business environment has deteriorated so badly over the years that it’s no longer worth the stress or the headache, whilst others downsized totally.

What struck me the most was how deeply people still love this country and how painful it is for them to witness the sheer decline.

This morning, I woke up still reflecting on those conversations and decided to take a drive through the city centre. The photos I took tell the story all too well, from Kenyatta Avenue to Westlands, there’s garbage everywhere, open manholes, appalling road conditions and drains filled with stagnant water and filth.

Yet that little boy TakaTaka1 keeps gaslighting us with his childish theatrics and nonsense on social media, claiming that “Nairobi is working.”

It’s absolutely shameful how low we’ve sunk.

The city is in complete disarray, a total mess.

[Ikua @wgikua]

@mwarv Asante for the stories and all the best!
