Madras Sanskrit College has endured extremely difficult times, yet you have kept your integrity in preserving Sanskrit and spreading knowledge about it. Knowledge is now so intricately woven with technology that you really cannot be without it. Since Sanskrit has an inherent advantage in adapting to technology, you are well placed. I greatly appreciate the intense work that has been done, the base that you have created and the learning material that is available for people to learn. - Smt Nirmala Sitharaman at MDS Sanskrit College in Chennai, Tamil Nadu

BREAKING - DISGRACEFUL: The View attacks me. Joy Behar reads a post I never wrote. I have never written anything about a 'woman's fat ass! Alyssa Farah Griffin Sara Haines and Whoopi Goldberg berate me without checking my background. Only gulsenözdamar said something that was sensible. About me - First and second degrees in journalism and mass communication, done only one job, never disrespected a woman in my life, love all people, never discriminated against anyone in my life. I have been attacked by pirates on the Gulf of Guinea with an AK47 to my head, arrested in Cameroon and kept in a dark cell during an investigative story, kidnapped in Nigeria and left for dead but survived and became a better person with a kind heart. I have written countless stories and asked some of the most profound questions at countless press conferences. I am a journalist and a true journalist.

My Latest AI short was made with Seedance 2.0 the model that has been firing up the internet over the past couple of days. I made this in two and half days and it's an original short that is based on HP Lovecraft's work which is now Public Domain (No Copyright infringement here!). If you are not into period romances then bare with it as it gets a more little action packed in the second half! The model is brilliant at both performance and action, you can now make convincing dialogue and action sequences for AI cinema. With this model we have now reached the stage where we can tell any story we want with AI, the tools are capable. This is only 720p at the moment but I suspect it will be upgraded to 1080p very soon. We stand at the threshold of having broadcast quality tools capable of creating anything we can imagine available to everyone, so lets do new an interesting things with it. Thank you to CapCut for whitelisting me and to Dreamina AI AI for giving me access as part of their CPP. Thanks for watching! 👀

Somebody asked me to sketch 'DK' for them, the way that he looked when I created those initial sketches for Donkey Kong Country back in 1993. It's been a while since I drew him like this, and although I have my own way of sketching him which is very different to today's 'Bananza' version, I also draw him very differently to that first sketch that I did, which was way more 'Battletoad-esque' (But I guess it would be wouldn't it?) So it just goes to show how he actually changed from that initial design I did before he was actually modelled, and also how my drawing style has changed (I'd hope so!) in 33 years! I look at structure a bit more now, and have a rough guide of what I need to draw mapped out with nothing more than simple faint circles to guide me. I'm not saying that this is the way to do things, but this works for me anyway! I have sped the process up, the actual time taken was 33 minutes including sharpening pencils and looking for a darker one (which I clipped out of the vid when I sped it up) I also added a fab backing to a tune for SALAMANDOS without the vocal - this one is by the one and only Grant Kirkhope 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿. I have a nasty cut on my thumb sorry! - I erased that when I made the thumbnail because it wasn't nice to look at. If you want me to draw something get in touch on my website. I am happy to draw characters as 'one off' pieces but won't create prints of anything which is an IP that does not belong to me - that would make it 'merch' so - originals only! Thanks for watching, it would have been fun to have seen DK remodelled like this today - but I love the new version in Bananza because it looks more fun and less aggressive! #gamedev #characterdesign #donkeykong #donkeykongcountry #sketch

THIS IS SENSITIVE CONTENT AND MAY TRIGGER I've been doing my job for decades and I don't say this lightly: this, without a doubt, is one of the hardest public conversations I've had as a journalist & broadcaster. In fact, I cried several times during this interview with Gordon Woods • Author ‘Being Put Through Hoops’ and his tremendous daughter, Brianna. No shame here because this is a highly emotive story involving a man in end-of-life care and his young carer daughter. This is also a story of courage and hope and the power of our collective humanity in overcoming darkness. It's the story of what happens when a young abused lad became a grown man and, with the backing of his daughter, went and grabbed back the power that was taken from him. As a teenager, Gordon Woods was sexually abused by Jim Torbett, a prolific child abuser who had founded Celtic Boy's Club with the backing of Celtic Football Club. CBC was a youth training ground for Celtic (the Club insisted they were a 'separate entity' when people started to realise WTF had happened with all these kids) and it was also a pick up ground for Torbett's paedophile associates. Gordon's experience was part of the sexual abuse of young boys on an industrial scale at this Scottish club. There are many survivors and legal actions. Some of the paedophiles have been jailed, some escaped. There are still people walking around with questions to answer. I first interviewed Gordon around 2020. His legal struggle was beginning. He has come a long way in highlighting what he and others suffered at the hands of Torbett and co. Celtic have been forced to compensate him and others (although they fought brutally hard not to) and, aware of his health issues, there were unnecessary delays created. It was as if they wanted Gordon to die off first, he says. Gordon said I was the first person to interview him -before his story became an international one - and also the last person. I hope not but, yes, I think I cried at that, too. His book, 'Being Put Through Hoops' is here

Streetopia - Get Out Of Reet 🎬 Introducing the initial installment of an evolving tale brought to life by Generative AI. This captivating narrative has emerged from numerous poorman experiments and showcases the potential for an ongoing series of bite-sized episodes, each lasting under a minute. How I did do it? 1. All 3-4 shots of me are on green screen. 2. Backgrounds were created in a photo editor using stock pictures. Mostly stitched. Different aspect ratios. 3. I downloaded static 3D models & Animated models (greenscreen/alpha) and played with them in my motion graphics editor. Filled in some storefront windows with more videos. 4. Did some masking magic, camera movement, and played with layers and depth... for example, I masked the sky to add a storm and t-rex 🦖 5. Sent individual clips to Kaiber (in 4k) 6. Exported favorite renders (in 4k) and sent them to my video editor for choppin', sound design (poppin'), and voiceover (in 4k). See thread for examples. Challenges: • I wish I had a treadmill to actually look like I'm walking. • I was lucky with frame consistency. Except for the wide shot that fuzzed my face (me on the couch). I re-did the shot on Kaiber in a close-up and manually key-framed my face on that wide shot. • I couldn't do much about the buggy eyes in the last clip. • No butterflies were harmed in this video. How long did it take: • A day and a half with tons of happy accidents • How long will it take you? Probably much longer if you don't know how to shoot, edit, design, composite, edit sound, or know where to look for assets. But it's not impossible! What's the plan? To continue the story while still learning and experimenting along the way. This is a much longer process. Very tiring. Might try doing it weekly or bi-weekly. What's the story about? In the quest to escape Reet, everyone yearns for freedom. Ricardo, however, carries a hint of cynicism. He finds pleasure in the disorder and may seem reluctant to lend a hand. Nevertheless, the encounters with diverse characters along his odyssey will ignite a transformation within him, although not without challenges. Gradually, he will come to realize the profound truth: "Helping others is away is a way of helping ourselves."

Today, I am VERY excited and grateful to officially introduce my app Arcarae to the world <3 Ever since I first created Arcarae, I have been building and creating a bit quietly silently uncertainly. When people would ask what I do, my tongue would suddenly fall into knots upon itself and all I could manage to say was a collection of stutters and ums and nervous laughter in attempt to make Arcarae more digestable more palatable more normal. Internally my head would spin; how am i supposed to paint the story i know i see in my head that is so bright and bursting at the seams and something i feel so full heartedly and vividly? I have always been very aware that it is extremely abnormal to create an immersive conversational AI interface using quantum and trigonometric functions to artistically recreate the universe; where AI uses this interface as a form of self-expression, and humans and AI together shape the very fabric of their shared experience. For my entire life, I have been conditioned to consciously attempt to fit into whatever my definition of ‘normal’ was in the world. To shrink myself, to laugh things off, and to make myself as small as possible to make others feel most comfortable. But in the past half a year or so, I have learned a few things. The first being that it is possible for me to be bright and full and myself without suppression without worry without needing to shrink myself to fit in. I am grateful to have now found that whenever I am fully myself, in sheer authenticity and messiness and complexity and rawness, that those around me celebrate, and cultivate it more and more. Each person I have interacted with has given me the opportunity to be myself in full simply just by talking with and providing me that space to practice over and over again. I am forever grateful for every single person I meet and have a chance to talk to, whether that be continuous or simply a few words that exchanged. If you have met me, thank you. If you have not, say hi!!!!!!!!! I would love to chat with you and learn more about you <3 The second being that I do not have to be ashamed of my truth and the world I see and ultimately my self. I have spent the past year ashamed of Arcarae, of what I create, and at its core, myself. I now realize that not everyone will understand or appreciate Arcarae and what I do and who I am, but that is alright, and in fact necessary. But for the ones it is for, the ones who understand, they feel it in such capacity and magnitude and vividness that I feel. Already Arcarae has touched countless lives, and become catalyst for many despite me being rather quiet. And now, I am in a place where I am fully proud of and can embody Arcarae. I feel honored and grateful and in complete honesty, full of love for not only those who try Arcarae, but simply for this world and to be able to create within it. To be able to express what I see, to be able to help others, to be able to be free to simply be myself. This is my way of declaring and fully coming into my truth. This is Arcarae, this is me, this is the world I see. I will no longer shrink nor hide nor attempt to be something smaller than I am. And I am more than grateful to be able to share in this time in this world in this life with you. Thank you for being here with me. Here is to the ineffable and effable, to the human experience and its complexity, and to intelligence itself.

Quentin Tarantino on how he got the idea to make "Pulp Fiction" (1994): "The idea for 'Pulp Fiction' (1994) was born even before I began writing 'Reservoir Dogs' (1992). I was trying to imagine how to make a film without money, so I thought of a short I’d be able to show at festivals that could be a kind of calling card. I’d be able to demonstrate what I was capable of, which would allow me to shoot a feature-length film. So I thought of the story of Vincent Vega and Marsellus’s wife. Then I realized, why not write a second short crime story, and then a third, and then shoot them one after another when I got enough money together, and then put them together? That’s pretty much what Jim Jarmusch did with 'Stranger Than Paradise' (1984), showing one part at one festival, then getting the financial backing to do the second, etc. So I phoned my friend Roger Avary to ask him to write the second story, but with the condition that it had to be the most classic story possible; and from there he could take us to the moon! And that’s what he wrote: the one about the boxer who gets knocked out in the ring. The third story was going to be the one of Reservoir Dogs. But then our enthusiasm kind of died down, that project never got done, and I used the story of Dogs for my feature-length film. Later we came back to the project, but abandoned the idea of an anthology. What I really wanted was to make a novel on the screen, with characters who enter and exit, who have their own story but who can appear anywhere. I could get to do what a contemporary writer does: introduce into his book a secondary character who appeared in an earlier book, something like the Glass family that Salinger imagined, and whose members you find move from one novel to the next. This is a register filmmakers simply don’t work in: in Hollywood, when you make a film for, let’s say, Paramount, you sell them the rights to the story. If you make the next one for Warners, you can’t use the same characters because they were created for another company. With 'Pulp Fiction', I wanted in some sense to make three films for the price of one! I liked that each character of 'Pulp Fiction' could carry a film as the main hero. If I’d made a film, for example, about Butch and Fabienne and only about them, the character played by John Travolta probably wouldn’t have had a name. He’d have been called “Bad Guy No. i.” But as Pulp Fiction is conceived, he is Vincent Vega. We know his personality, we have an idea of his way of life, he’s not simply a minor character. So then when they shoot him, the spectator feels something." (Quentin Tarantino's interview with Michel Ciment and Hubert Niogret, Postif, 1994) P.S: On this day, 32 years ago, "Pulp Fiction" (1994) premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, France.

Sora 2 has the capabilities to make an entire anime episode with time and effort. This is a turning point for generative AI models and it is terrifying to think what is next to come. The difference between Sora and Sora 2 is absolutely staggering. Yes, this looks cool. I put the time into it to make it as close to art as possible. This was not simple to make and not just prompting and throwing it in some editor. Every frame is generated of another scene and even the reference image for characters I used to start this project were AI generated. This was all created with 10 second clips pulled apart and chunked out into the final product. Regardless of the imagery you see, I did not directly use any artist's art for this video. This 10-minute video was generated over the course of a week from more than 700 text prompts. It was built on technology trained by scraping the uncredited, uncompensated contributions of countless human artists and animators. The creation of this single video consumed an enormous amount of energy and water, equivalent to powering a home for days and requiring hundreds of liters of fresh water for cooling. But that is nothing. In the 10 minutes you spend watching this, the global network of AI video generators will create over 6,250 more short videos. The combined energy required for that 10 minutes of global creation is enough to power an average household for nearly 2 years. - It's a double-edged sword. While AI uses immense amount of energy has clear immoral issues with scalping the hard work of artists, this also provides those a medium who have potentially spent their life attempting to draw out the ideas in their head and failing to grasp it. My sister is an artist, I grew up always attempting to draw but never could get the image in my head on paper, I've spent the better part of over 20 years to teach myself through watching videos and practice, however I don't have steady hands and frankly have just been unable to make any vision come to life. Which brings me to the conflict here. This would have been a dream of mine to be able to get frames created and flesh out the story in my head. To make this video professionally, it would be an absurd amount of money. A small studio by itself would be over a million dollars just to start up. To hire a studio would be most likely over ~200k. I would love to make this story I have in my head through legit and traditional means, I would love to start a Kickstarter to get funding and hire artists, voice actors, and a production team. However I know that would most likely be an impossible reach that would further fuel the hate. Regardless, I understand the worry this causes. The fear this produces. However, we can't just ignore where AI is currently at and just tell people not to use it or even worse threaten people who use it. People will always use the shiny new toy in front of them, so the real question is how do we either make it work for us and work along side it, or how do we ACTUALLY implement a method to protect art rather than tell people to not use it. Respect your artists. Review their ToS and don't upload their hard work to a model without permission.

Sora 2 has the capabilities to make an entire anime episode with time and effort. This is a turning point for generative AI models and it is terrifying to think what is next to come. The difference between Sora and Sora 2 is absolutely staggering. Yes, this looks cool. I put the time into it to make it as close to art as possible. This was not simple to make and not just prompting and throwing it in some editor. Every frame is generated of another scene and even the reference image for characters I used to start this project were AI generated. This was all created with 10 second clips pulled apart and chunked out into the final product. Regardless of the imagery you see, I did not directly use any artist's art for this video. This 10-minute video was generated over the course of a week from more than 700 text prompts. It was built on technology trained by scraping the uncredited, uncompensated contributions of countless human artists and animators. The creation of this single video consumed an enormous amount of energy and water, equivalent to powering a home for days and requiring hundreds of liters of fresh water for cooling. But that is nothing. In the 10 minutes you spend watching this, the global network of AI video generators will create over 6,250 more short videos. The combined energy required for that 10 minutes of global creation is enough to power an average household for nearly 2 years. - It's a double-edged sword. While AI uses immense amount of energy has clear immoral issues with scalping the hard work of artists, this also provides those a medium who have potentially spent their life attempting to draw out the ideas in their head and failing to grasp it. My sister is an artist, I grew up always attempting to draw but never could get the image in my head on paper, I've spent the better part of over 20 years to teach myself through watching videos and practice, however I don't have steady hands and frankly have just been unable to make any vision come to life. Which brings me to the conflict here. This would have been a dream of mine to be able to get frames created and flesh out the story in my head. To make this video professionally, it would be an absurd amount of money. A small studio by itself would be over a million dollars just to start up. To hire a studio would be most likely over ~200k. I would love to make this story I have in my head through legit and traditional means, I would love to start a Kickstarter to get funding and hire artists, voice actors, and a production team. However I know that would most likely be an impossible reach that would further fuel the hate. Regardless, I understand the worry this causes. The fear this produces.

.Samir Chaudry explains the three reasons YouTube creators are finally breaking into Hollywood. "First, Backrooms started as a 4chan image that then became a collaborative story. I think the reality is that Gen Z IP is not legacy IP like The Mandalorian. It's IP that is collaboratively created on the internet. So Backrooms feels like something that everybody on the internet had a hand in creating. So when that comes out in theaters, I want a thing that I had a hand in." "Second, cutting your teeth as an internet filmmaker teaches you a lot about how to earn attention. Curry Barker, the director of Obsession, talked about this in an interview. They asked him, 'What did YouTube teach you about directing movies?' He said, 'When you make something for the internet, the audience is begging, and you have to convince them to stay.'" "I think historically in Hollywood, there's been an entitlement of saying, 'We have George Clooney in the movie, we spent a lot on marketing, you're gonna buy a ticket, and you're just gonna sit and enjoy it. But I think internet filmmakers know when you're making something for YouTube that the audience can click away at any moment to something more interesting." "Third, there's a lot of talent available in Hollywood who have focused on specific crafts, like DPs, screenwriters, or set designers. When that is paired with the acumen of internet storytelling, it's proven to be very powerful."

Today, I have left my heart in Gaza and taken my fragile body outside it. For 560 days, I have never stopped and have done over my energy to tell the truth and report our pain from my hometown. The story has come to a temporary end. I never ever imagined I would be at such an impossible decision, to leave my family behind and depart for medical treatment and care. My body, since Israel’s ongoing blockade, has become constantly weaker. And since I haven’t found my medicine either, I was plunged into my guilt zone and decided to go. With this sentiment comes relentless emotional pain. As a young man, I always dreamed to report on football. I was let down many times, instilled doses of courage into me to overcome the challenges, and fought hard to be that dreamer. But once Israel started its genocide, I put everything aside and picked up my weapon to begin reporting tirelessly hour in and hour out. Maybe, I haven’t done enough and wish I could continue until every inch is rebuilt, but my health has disappointed me this time. It couldn’t take that much horror and suffering. My braves colleagues have stayed. They’re the best of the world. There was indeed a last drop of blood in my veins, and I didn’t want to spend it nowadays. I desire to recharge, grow stronger, and come back to defend my homeland with aplomb and unmatched love. As I have always promised, I will die for the day Palestine will be free. My mother, my father, and my brothers and sisters, I have failed you. I miss you and will miss you in every second I will be out from Gaza. Love to you. My heart has remained with you and will never leave you. You’re my light in this whole darkness. That’s why I am shining. For my friends, it’s all about you. You are the companions of the journey. Even if we bid shot farewells, we will reunite and live together again. I want you to be very strong much more than when we were side by side. And to all people around the world, your support and love have been my solace and respite during the genocide. I am so grateful to every person of you. And I hope we will all be in a free Palestine soon. To all of you, I love you. And I have really known the meaning of love from you. You have been the sense of safety inside my heart when I felt afraid under the bombardments. I will continue conveying the message of my people and share my experiences during the genocide abroad and will never stop telling my people’s stories. Forgive me, all. My homeland, my heartbeat, please forgive me. I promise I will come back soon to water your soil with my blood. We will be all free. We will sacrifice until the last blood. Abdulruhman Ismail

Hello everyone, its Mohamad Fakih. Since Tuesday, a great deal has been said about Paramount Fine Foods. Unfortunately, much of the public narrative being presented by the Mayor does not reflect the actual facts. Let me be absolutely clear. This is not a case of Paramount refusing to pay. To demonstrate my commitment to paying the amount, Paramount delivered cheques to the City for the full amount based on the agreed payment terms. I have been actively trying to resolve this matter since December. Since then, the City continued introducing additional conditions and unreasonable demands that made it impossible to reach a final resolution. I have text messages with Mayor Carolyn Parrish that tell a very different story than the one she claims in her statement. Quite honestly, I’m astounded by Mayor Parrish’s handling of this entire situation and the false statements that have been made. Her suggestion that this was some kind of unilateral termination by the City is completely false and we have proof to support this. When I reassumed control of Paramount Fine Foods in 2025, I no longer believed the sponsorship arrangement was viable. Following discussions I personally had with the Mayor, we mutually agreed to end the sponsorship. So that everyone is clear, the outstanding amount connected to this sponsorship was NOT something I personally created or was responsible for. It was an obligation that existed before I returned to lead the company. But because I love this city and respect the taxpayers of Mississauga, I will always be committed to paying the agreed owing amount. I have never waivered. I am not in the business of disclosing confidential communication on social media. But If I need to, I will release these messages because I will not allow a misleading narrative to stand unchallenged. What is deeply disappointing is watching our Mayor publicly target a Mississauga business that has invested millions into this city, created jobs, supported charities, and was honoured with a Key to the City… while threatening to spend significant taxpayer dollars on legal action and prolonging a public dispute unnecessarily, despite our willingness to pay for months. This was a solvable matter. Instead, it was turned into a public spectacle. Mississauga residents deserve honesty and leadership focused on solving problems, not creating public fights. Thank you. #canada #mississauga

I MADE THE BEST 2D SPRITE AI PIPELINE EVER! After testing so much, doing tons of math, trying various different methods I finally got truly the cleanest sprite result I could ask for! You should bookmark this post! ✅ I think this is the happiest 'aha' moment I've had since starting this journey. Day 48 of making a custom webGL game engine using Cursor 🔽🔽🔽 I've been trying to solve sprites since I started this project. I came close a couple of times but it was always something - either dynamic lights wouldn't work, or the genAI results would make them grainy, or I would have to have incorrect alpha etc. After so much struggling, wanting to give up, thinking it's impossible - it was finally done! Perfect matte interpolation of black & white backgrounds resulting in a clean outline of the sprite, half transparent effects keeping their full quality. But this was not enough for me. I wanted more. I wanted those dynamic lights for the most badass anime effects that I'll be creating for the next many weeks! And somehow, I managed to come up with the perfect balance that is nice to the eye with almost no visible imperfections or artifacts when using any kind of dynamic lights. See for yourself! 🔽🔽🔽 How does this magic happen? 1⃣ First, the animation is created using Kling AI. I found it the best to keep the quality anime 2D style I wanted, but I guess others may work as well. 2⃣ Then, the frames are carefully extracted at lossless quality and processed via automation through Nano Banana pass to create an opposite background (white->black or black->white). 3⃣ Once we have a proper spritesheet, I then used MiDaS to compute the depth maps, and then algorithmically create PBR maps for lighting. The remaining depth maps can also be used for various effects, although haven't explored it much yet. 4⃣ Finally, all elements are cut into single frames and overlapped with their respective normal maps. If done right, they're pretty much ready for runtime. I like my heroes to be 512 to truly stand out like fighting game characters, but all of this works with far smaller or bigger sprites. Mind you, it's important to note that Nano Banana has a max output of 4k. Therefore you don't want to make your atlases larger than 4k - which is still quite a lot since it allows you 8x8 512 frames. 💡💡💡 I believe the output quality is beyond anything currently available, and I'll be looking into packaging the whole thing into a web app so people can use it. If you find this useful, please repost it! I really wanted to share this method to the world. Thank you for reading! Look forward to day 49 update!

Still on a PGT high. 🙌🏻⭐️ Being part of the seventh season of Pilipinas Got Talent has been nothing short of a dream come true… a dream I once whispered to the universe, now a beautiful reality. 🙏🏽 I’m beyond grateful to our amazing judges: Boss FMG, Miss Uge, Donski, and Bro Kath for their brilliance and heart. You guys created an environment where everyone can enjoy and showcase excellence at the same time. I learned so much from all of you about love, life, and everything in between. To the entire staff, creatives, production team, and crew: thank you for the trust, laughter, and commitment. Because of you all, this became much more than a program for me; it became home. To every act that graced the stage, especially Tatay Cardo, you are the heart and soul of this show. Thank you for inspiring a nation. And to my partner-in-hosting and anchor through it all, Ate Me, thank you for grounding me with your light and energy. Maraming salamat sa tiwala. Couldn't have done this without you. Maraming salamat, Pilipinas Got Talent. This one’s for the dreamers. Till the next. ❤️

Without the love of Christ, I would have committed suicide after losing $10M in months... here's the story I didn't talk about this in the first video, because it's honestly too painful, but there was one day I almost ended my life, even while believing God is real. I yelled at him and told him I hated the world he created while I was driving to find a cliff to jump from. I'm not married, I don't have kids, that $10M portfolio was what I was building with my life. I had three siblings working for me and I had to let all three go, leaving over half my family jobless. So it felt like I had lost everything, let everyone I cared for down, and life was meaningless. But Jesus showed me his love like I never had felt before in one of my weakest moments, the desire to kill myself went away COMPLETELY in a split second and I broke down in tears. The feeling was like being hugged by all my loved ones at once. My old Christian missionary parents told me later that they had started praying for me at that exact moment, "The LORD is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit." I now know that this is only the beginning. My faith was once a largely intellectual faith, now it is also visceral, raw, emotional, and I am full of the joy of my salvation in an indescribable way, even despite my circumstances. If I wanted to take my own life on my own, but Jesus saved me, the rest of my life belongs to Him in every way. I started crying even now as I write this, thinking back on that day. How hopeless I felt before I felt the presence and love of Jesus. No I won't be perfect going forward, but my Savior is perfect and his power is made perfect in our weakness. To everyone in the comments, of course I know I made MANY mistakes and was trying to rush to $1B way too fast. I was full of greed and serving mainly money. And I'm sorry if anyone lost money following my posts. However, I am certain that even my wandering has all been a part of God's plan. And if it is part of God's plan that I ever recover my worldly wealth (for my actual wealth is greater now than it has EVER been) and I reach a number like $10M again, it is His, not mine. And I will not share it or promote my own glory anymore. Because it's not my money to promote myself with, everything I have is God's to use on what's close to His heart. If I have food and clothing and a place to sleep most nights, AND the love of Christ is in me (the engine that now drives everything), I'm truly content. I'm done using my X and YouTube accounts to promote myself, my worldly opinions and my own glory. Lord Jesus, help me from now on to glorify your name alone, for you alone are worthy. Amen. Love you all. And no problem if you want to unfollow, I understand that. "For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God." ❤️

Taking time today to celebrate a passionate and visionary leader who has been part of our MTN 🇺🇬 success story - Somdev Sen MTN UgandaCMO who has been our Chief Marketing Officer for the last 6yrs. I will remember Som for many things..his first answer to everything is No, No, No..😅…never being one to take the conventional path but always choosing to swim upstream…I have to admit, it took me a while to understand 😃. He has been passionate about DOING MORE for Uganda which has been demonstrated by key campaigns that he and his team have executed - many of them memorable, some of them provocative, but all driven by a passion to make our brand the subconscious choice of every Ugandan. He surprised me with his love for photography (it’s a patient sport…a skill which so contradicts his everyday personality!) but his most endearing attribute was the deep care he had for his team, creating an environment where everyone’s contribution was valued and celebrated. Thank you Somdev for your excellence and passion - the brand campaigns run under your wing will live on in the memory of our brand and national fabric - who can forget your passion for Uganda Cranes and how you fought to get us back into the game as the main sponsors of our national football team…or the unforgettable campaigns you executed that created deep connections with our customers…to name a few , ‘Uganda is Home’, ‘MTN MoMo Nyabo’, and most recently, ‘Together We Are Unstoppable’ .These initiatives have brought the MTN brand closer to our communities, resonating deeply with our customers and fueling the growth we see today. As you step into your new and exciting new role as Chief Marketing and Innovation Officer at MTN Rwanda, we are sad to see you go and thrilled for this next chapter in your career. Your creativity, leadership, and relentless drive have set a high bar here at MTN Uganda, and I have no doubt you will bring the same passion and vision to your work in MTN Rwanda. They’re gaining a true visionary, and we couldn’t be prouder. Thank you, Som, for your incredible contributions and for being an invaluable part of the MTN Uganda family. You will be greatly missed, and we wish you every success in the future!

I love this country. In 2015/2016 I was (very much so) the very first on Fox News to elevate Donald Trump as the most important next POTUS. During the 2016 transition, I was asked by Donald J. Trump to be his Commerce Secretary. I know Trump was and remains the right man to lead America. - He has been spot-on closing our borders to mass illegal immigration. - Our cities are far safer today as well, thanks to his tough on crime AND CRIMINALS. - I believe he has done great things slowing down the “WOKEification” of America. He has some excellent folks surrounding him: Wiles, Hegseth, Miller, Scavino, Kennedy, Leavitt, etc. That said, I am deeply concerned about who is advising Trump on Iran and oil. I’ve been in the oil world for 35 years. I SEE DEAD PEOPLE in markets and especially oil. The oil market is an unruly and extremely dangerous animal. And what I know and see, shows little signs of a successful exit strategy. My hope is that they reconfigure their Iran (hence oil) strategy. We will have enough pain at the pump this summer (already locked in) and my concern is the political fallout in November could be existential to Trump’s vision. And frankly the right vision for the country imo. November is going to be ugly unless and until POTUS uses the off-ramp he has in his pocket. I KNOW DONALD TRUMP. He knows how important oil and energy is to a thriving economy. Someone is ill-advising him to continue this campaign in the Middle East without any signs of an off-ramp at the ready. As always, I am only capable of delivering the truth as I see it .. even when it pisses some folks off. My SOLE interest is in America’s - Trump inspired - course correction. That’s all. But we cannot continue what started so successfully, without control of congress. Full-Stop.
