How is Raila Odinga still relevant? The man has been in the new my whole life.
Thank you for your work. But kindly go home and rest. You have done enough.

Kenyan lawmakers throw tantrum after Raila Odinga loses African Union Commission chairman bid to Djibouti’s Mahamoud Ali Youssouf
So I just watched this. Very uncomfortable. Things I have heard in the streets of Kenya. "Your father does not come close to Raila..." The content itself is a lot of BS. I'm thinking about the delivery. Has any #Kenyan been talked down upon like this? How does it make you feel?

"The President in particular is very much a figurehead—he wields no real power whatsoever...the qualities he is required to display are not those of leadership but those of finely judged outrage...His job is not to wield power but to draw attention away from it."
Douglas Adams
Watch every second of this.
This is the most astute analysis of the Trump administration from @ezraklein and the brilliant blitzkrieg-like chaos strategy they are employing created by Steve Bannon.
The real threat is if he convinces the rest of us to believe this power he DOES NOT have.
(See what I did there?)

Muzzle Velocity.
If you are always consumed by the next outrage, you can't look closely at the last one.

I very recently discovered Offspring (It is so good! What hole have I been in?) And I must say, I absolutely love Martin Clegg! @LachyHulme is fucking brilliant!

Having a chat on a drive with @GichiraMaina. We talked about the word "Jambo" and how we don't like it. And then we asked some questions and then we asked AI to write a thing.
Here's part of the thing. #RetireJambo
Using "Jambo" perpetuates a shallow, transactional relationship with #Kenyan culture. It suggests that visitors are engaging with a caricature of Kenya rather than its rich and multifaceted reality.
