This is why being yourself matters.
Look at what Senegal has shown the world tonight. The music, the dancing, the traditional clothing, the storytelling, the creativity. Everything speaks to who we are as Africans.
These may be the Youth Olympic Games, rather than the Summer Olympics or the World Cup, but the beauty of this ceremony is extraordinary.
Senegal didn’t need to abandon its identity to impress the world. It celebrated that identity.
Sometimes we Africans forget how much beauty, talent and creativity we already have.
Congratulations, Senegal. You have made history, and you have made Africa proud. 🇸🇳🌍

For en syk, syk mann.
Begravelsen blir en højdare.
This is like a textbook definition of a collapsing narcissist.
—“Nobody appreciates me” (blame)
—“It’s very sad.” (victimhood)
—“Oh wait. I’m in the Oval Office. I’m the President.” (restorative superiority/grandiose delusions)
There’s nothing left but symptoms of this man’s brain shutting down.
“I don't even talk about myself, what they did with me. But now I look up and I say, oh, gee, I'm in the Oval Office. I say, sometimes I'll say, nobody appreciates what I've done. I've created the greatest. You know, we have $22 trillion coming in.
No, I do it. You know, we just we just did favorite nations in medicine, like as an example and all these things. And I did so much. And it's so much. And, you know, we're in the golden age of America.
We were the dark ages. But I say, oftentimes, nobody appreciates what I did. And I feel very sad. No, no, no. I took drug prices from the highest price in history to the lowest.
And the press doesn't write. No, that's OK. Don't worry. You're killing my final line here. That's OK. I never will turn down applause.
But now I say to myself, sadly, as I sit in the most magnificent office in the world, the most powerful 3,000 feet, 3,000 square feet, most powerful by hundreds and hundreds of times, I'd say nobody appreciates how great a president I am. I say it.
I say nobody appreciates that I got $21 trillion invested on our country. And the highest ever was a different country 10 years ago called China. Three trillion. And I'm 21. It's actually now 22. A little more time went by. I said nobody appreciates that I rebuilt our military, that I started Space Force, that I did all these things. Nobody appreciates that we have the best job numbers in history. Nobody appreciates that nobody ever. Nobody comes through our border anymore. It's lonely. And hundreds and hundreds of other things.
And you know, I said promises made, promises kept. And a very nice anchor last week who was inclined toward the liberal said, you know, whether you like Trump or not, he said, promises made, promises kept, and he kept more promises that he said he was going to make. He said that's the only time that's ever happened in politics. But I said to a group of brilliant people sitting in the Oval Office with me, nobody appreciates what I did. It is very sad. It's very sad.
And then I look up and I say, oh, wait, oh, wait. Is this the Oval Office that we're in? Yes. Oh, I'm in the Oval Office. That means I'm president. I guess they do appreciate what we've done. Right. Right. I guess I guess I guess now I guess. What the hell? I'm president. What can I complain? I guess they do appreciate you appreciate. I tell you, Kansas appreciates it. Texas appreciates it. Texas appreciates it. Alaska appreciates it.”

Presidentembedet har blitt en vernet bedrift nå.
It’s hard to believe this is real. The jokes write themselves.
“The governor EUGH” #Demented
El-Sayed er helt kong.... president, altså.
Han evner å ta ting på hælen.
Fotball, NATO, SATO. Ja, fotball er mer enn bare ballen.
Socrates var noe spesielt.
In 2009, Gaddafi proposed SATO, a strategic alliance between Africa and Latin America to counter Western military dominance.
I witnessed how seriously he pursued cooperation with Latin American revolutionary movements.
This video explores that history and a vision of the Global South that remains profoundly relevant today.

This is one of the most iconic songs ever. She had quite the voice. Rest easy Ronnie. This music NEVER gets old, even if we do.
Next level art. Modern renessaince.
The "Prima Ballerina" fountain is located in Kosciuszko Square in the town center of Poddębice, Poland. Unveiled on August 3, 2024, this public installation features three ballerinas standing 2m tall, crafted by Polish sculptor Małgorzata Chodakowska who currently lives in Dresden. Her work lies at the intersection of sculpture and water installations and her portfolio includes projects in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Chodakowska's work is undeniably wonderful!
AI eller SI, rater Trump nokså lavt altså .
Steve Harness: “You and I know that the sky is blue and that Trump is an absolute moron, but what does AI say about his intelligence and mental health? Meta AI says Trump does not come across as being well. The platform characterized the posts as a non-stop loop of grievances and self-promotion. When It’s about him it’s the greatest, most beautiful, number one ever. When it’s about anyone else, it’s rigged, fake, corrupt, witch-hunt, total black and white thinking”
