I see scenes of Taiwanese movies and watched a video of Yokohama's use of concrete. Things clicked in my mind.

There are parts of Hong Kong, Malaysia and Singapore that could pass for Ikoyi. Not just the high end parts of Ikoyi too. Parts of Havana, Ciudad de Panama could be Surulere. Even Montpellier had parallels to Lagos.

The Cheshire Cat used to scare me.

Large Language Models are the culmination of the users being the product. We train the models which will be used to cut labor costs and target advertising.

I window shopped the David Yurman website recently and a few weeks ago I got passport pictures at CVS. Looking at a map both stores appeared on the map prominently and no others.

If it had WhatsApp I would replace my primary phone.

I am going to get a light phone. Use it with my second sim and in Lagos. It has a music utility and birth Bluetooth and a headphone jack. Allow me to focus without being completely disconnected.

It might be time to wake up and smell the ashes once again.

Fanta Régina Nacro has amazing movies.

More than 100,000 African seeds put in Svalbard vault for safekeeping

I read a profile on Bezos years ago and learned he does not understand the appeal of music yet would listen to the most popular songs because he understood it was a social norm. It made me understand things a lot more.

running a 5k burns more calories than running for 3 minutes but if you've never done either only one of these will make you feel like you can do it again. does this help

Republicans stab you in the heart and Democrats stab you in the artery. You die anyway. The real difference is that sometimes Democrats change their mind and give you a bandage.

Without difficulty they could remove a field of study once the current academics retire.

If you care about civil liberties they should be as troubling as anything the executive proposes.

Most born before 2002 remembers Christopher Dorner. Yet it seems he is a nonperson to mainstream media.

Basic answer unfortunately.

"Trump has been effectively bribed by fossil fuel oligarchs—and he’s returning the favor by making it official U.S. government policy to remove all restraints on the growth of their industry."

Fossil fuel oligarchy is bipartisan.

Y’know whats honestly nice abt this. We can make as many jokes abt thirsty folks as we want but he used his statement to say “stop giving your jubblies & personal info to the cops. Who knows what’ll happen to it in their hands” and hes right. That stuff is being screened but ask what becomes of it

Quantum of Solace will be vindicated 25 years after release.

Then after that the water wars.

Until you count how many people die and you see the percentage maybe down, the numbers are drastically higher.

End of feudalism. End of slavery. End of Jim Crow/Apartheid/Cold War. The horrors still come, they are just less horrific.

I think that is half right. It people get too hungry they die or revolt. Dead people cannot be exploited. I think the fall comes in 2027-2031. Worse than 2009, not as bad as 1929. Just before the brokie whites (and after a bunch of darkies in the global south) die they increase infrastructure spend

The UAE is making a major push to deepen ties with China, with back-to-back government delegations targeting investment and tech partnerships.

Although I do not agree they are complicit in mass murder happening in Sudan and an active participant in mass murder in Yemen. Add being the de facto second most powerful country in OPEC along with slavery/not giving professional visiting workers full rights and you have a small nation of monsters.
