Now, y’all see what I’m talking about? Here’s another newly graduated secondary school student posting a transition video with a revealing outfit that prominently shows her cleavage. Whether intentional or not, content like this often attracts the wrong kind of audience. The unfortunate reality is that there are countless... pedophiles and sexual predators online who actively look for videos like these,. Every like, comment, and share from such people only reinforces the cycle and encourages more teenagers to chase that same attention. Is this really the direction we’re heading? these are the same young people who are expected to become tomorrow’s doctors, engineers, lawyers, chartered accountants, scientists, and leaders. We need to ask ourselves some difficult questions. Is the internet doing more harm than good to our younger generation, or are we failing to teach them how to use it responsibly? Have we become so obsessed with viral moments that we’ve forgotten the importance of digital safety, self-worth, and purpose? Parents, schools, and society all have a role to play… We should be teaching young people that the internet is a powerful tool for learning, building skills, creating opportunities, and expressing creativity; not a place where validation is measured by the amount of sexualized attention they can attract. The conversation shouldn’t be about shaming teenagers. It should be about protecting them from predators, helping them understand digital footprints, and encouraging healthier ways to seek recognition online.show more

Now, do you all see why this conversation matters? Another secondary school student is trending over a dance video that appears more focused on attracting attention than celebrating graduation, what does she mean by “LMETP”? This isn’t about judging or humiliating a child. It’s about asking why so many teenagers now believe that online attention is the fastest route to validation. Why are children competing for attention instead of competing for knowledge and skills? When did “going viral” become more valuable than protecting your future? Are parents, schools, and society preparing children for life… or just leaving the algorithm to raise them? The internet is a powerful classroom. It can teach coding, medicine, languages, business, and countless life-changing skills. But if we fail to guide young people, they’ll learn whatever gets the most engagement. Every post creates a digital footprint. Universities, scholarship boards, employers, and even future partners may one day come across what is uploaded today. Let’s stop rewarding every sensational moment with millions of views and start celebrating intelligence, creativity, innovation, sports, academics, entrepreneurship, and real talent. To every young person reading this: Please take good care of yourselves. Protect your health, your dignity, your reputation, and your future. Stay away from crime, harmful influences, and decisions that could close doors tomorrow. These children are tomorrow’s doctors, nurses, lawyers, judges, engineers, scientists, and leaders. They deserve guidance, protection, and better role models… not pressure to chase online validation. And is this how this generation intend to produce them? The internet isn’t the enemy. A lack of digital guidance is. What do you think is the biggest reason more teenagers are seeking validation online today: poor parenting, social media algorithms, peer pressure, or society’s obsession with going viral?

#PatriotPlatform More than ever, the people of this country who share our values, those who see clearly what is right and what is wrong, are awakening to the harsh realities we face. I understand the deep anger many feel. I understand why some have turned to violence, and why it escalated to that point. But violence is not the answer. It removes good men and women from the fight, tears them away from their families, and hands our opponents the perfect excuse to pass new laws that silence us and keep us off the streets. We must be smarter. We need a long-term strategy that cannot be stopped, one that channels this righteous anger into something unbreakable. That is why the Patriot Platform is essential. It offers a legitimate, powerful outlet, a movement so large, so organised, and so deeply rooted in the will of the people that it cannot be refused or defeated. This is not for the faint-hearted. It is not for spectators, keyboard warriors, or the weak. We are looking for those who are strong, capable, and ready to commit. We are not interested in division for its own sake. We want hands on deck and boots on the ground but placed with purpose and discipline. Keep your eyes open. Towards the end of this week, the Patriot Platform becomes reality. We no longer have time to wait. We must organise now. Those already involved understand what is at stake and we will ensure every step we take stays on the right path. I’m not talking about being weak. I’m not talking about more protests. I’m not talking about any of that. I’m talking about doing something different and taking 10,000 British lads and lasses with me to do it. Stand ready. Align with what is coming. #PatriotPlatform 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧

$I hear so often from the Dommes I work with that they struggle with people online fetichizing them and simply seeing them for how sexy and beautiful they are. They project their fantasies and their desires onto you. That stops immediately once you move the attention from you to them. From 'look at me' to 'I see you'. What does that look like? When you create content, think of them and what this scene or that narrative is evoking. What will they learn from you? What they want is not to passively watch how sexy you are, but for you to train them, to give them instructions, to teach them, to guide them, to be in charge, to command them. This is not being an object but the main subject. The Authority figure. How is your content already doing that. The sexy photos can still be there, they are important to already capture des attention. But what you do with that attention once you have it, is where the power dynamic is established. Positioning yourself as more than a stunning Goddess, but actually a woman who has a voice, opinions, perspective, a philosophy, a way to doing things, teaching them what you like, how you like it, why you like it, already makes them want to be that for you. You hold the attention, you hold the power, so you direct it. And for that, you want them to know you get them and you know what lives within them... that creates the desire for you to be the one exposing it. You instantly build trust. Not because you demanded it, but because you earned it: you showed them you know what you are doing. You have experience, you understand them. They are not told to come see you, they are seduced into it. They desire it. And they will work for it. This will attract better clients (real subs) and instead of you trying to get their attention, they will work to earn yours. If you want to learn more about power dynamics, building a brand as a Pro or the psychology behind BDSM, you can now access all my trainings and classes in one place for a fraction of the cost of The Dominatrix Academy. And you can reinvest the total amount towards the Program. Message me [SECRET] for the details. This offer is not available on my website.$

Building on wetlands is a very dangerous criminal enterprise because wetlands are natural water holding and drainage systems, and once they are built over, the water has nowhere to go, leading to frequent flooding, permanent waterlogging, and rising damp in buildings. The soil in such areas is soft and unstable, which causes foundations to sink or crack over time, resulting in serious structural damage and very high maintenance costs. So all those involved in this criminal enterprise are either ignorant, criminal, or both. Destroying wetlands removes their natural function of filtering water and controlling floods, increases health risks such as cholera from stagnant water, and often creates legal, insurance, and resale problems, making such developments risky both environmentally and financially. All this water that you are seeing in this video is the result of the criminality and ignorance of building on wetlands. When the colonial government left these wetlands untouched, it was not because they did not have any use for that land. It was because they understood the danger of building on such land. They were responsible. Fast forward to 1980, and we have a ZANUPF government that allows people to build on wetlands because of corruption, criminality, greed and sheer ignorance. Instead of expanding the city, they do the most idiotic thing imaginable and build on wetlands. If you look at a city like Johannesburg, it started small and then expanded. That expansion came with employment, industries, malls, and businesses being established. Harare by now, under normal circumstances, should perhaps be halfway to Marondera going east. That would have meant that along that growth we would have industries, businesses, schools, and public enterprises, and, more importantly, a great deal being contributed to the economy through that expansion. But because the regime and its corrupt cronies are obsessed with squeezing into the small city that the colonial government left behind, there is no real expansion taking place. People end up using residential homes as offices. People end up bringing offices into areas that are not meant or zoned for offices. This is tragic. I do not know what it will take for us as black people to understand that when we do these kinds of things, we are hating ourselves, we are damaging ourselves, and we are destroying the future of our OWN children and the ability of future generations to inherit a functional city. Right now, when you get to Harare, when it rains even a little, the whole city is flooded, not just because of poor drainage, but because wetlands have been built on. Water has nowhere to go, so it floods and causes enormous problems. You cannot even drive. Imagine an investor flying into Harare and driving into the city only for their car to be submerged in water. This is basic common sense. It should be common sense not only to the ruling elites in ZANUPF, but to every Zimbabwean. Even those who are building on these wetlands are damaging themselves. They are destroying their own future and that of their children for a quick buck, motivated by greed. It makes no sense whatsoever. You do not need to be a rocket scientist to understand that what the government is doing is criminal, ignorant, and that it will cost generations to come. The irony of this video is that it was produced by the Environmental Management Authority, EMA, the very institution that should be ensuring that these things do not happen. Yet it is the same authority that neglects its duty and allows them to happen. It is the same authority that has been infiltrated by corrupt businessmen masquerading as land and housing developers, who pay kickbacks and are then allowed to build on wetlands. It makes us look profoundly irresponsible and foolish. When future generations look back at these episodes, they will wonder what kind of people we were, people so greedy and so driven by money that we chose it over a sustainable environment in which people can live in peace without constantly worrying about flash floods. The amount of property lost to these floods is staggering. Yet it is a small group of men, and some women, who are making money from this illegality and criminality, becoming filthy rich without any sense of community or responsibility. They continue to do these things in order to make even more corrupt money. These are multimillionaires. They are reckless. They do not care about today. They do not care about the poor, because it is the poor who are forced to bear the brunt of this. Look at Zengeza and Budiriro. These are poor communities, yet they are the ones who suffer most from these illegalities that are taking place in our country. I appeal to all Zimbabweans, regardless of political party or ideology, to think about the future of your grandchildren who are yet to be born, and the future of your great grandchildren who are yet to be born. Do you want to be remembered as cruel, criminal, fraudulent people who did not care about the future of those who came after you? Is that the kind of memory you want to leave? Do you want future generations to say that the post war, post liberation generation was selfish, self centred, corrupt, and did not care about what came after them? Is that how you want to be remembered? That is how we are going to be remembered if we continue on this path, as a senseless, greedy, corrupt generation that allowed this to happen. This is sad. Let us think about the future. Let us think about the legacy we are going to leave and how we are going to be remembered. Do we really want to continue destroying our country and be remembered as selfish, destructive people? Are we so stupid that we do not understand the most basic concept of what wetlands are? Are we so idiotic that we cannot see that we are actively harming ourselves by building properties on top of what should be a living ecosystem that protects our suburbs from flooding? Are we really that irresponsible as Zimbabweans? Is it truly that hard to understand? Do we have to be so primitive and so backward that we end up destroying ourselves, destroying our capital city, just so a few men can make money, while we also destroy the future of our children, and then turn around and claim that we are patriots? What kind of patriotism destroys its own environment, the very place where its own people are supposed to live? That is not patriotism. That is idiocy.

Shuler: If you think about every industrial revolution we’ve been through, working people have helped us make that transition. It’s really because we’ve helped tame the technology and figured out how to use it in the most effective way. So I think your question about augmentation versus replacement is the big question we have. If we can all agree that this is about making our jobs better, safer, easier, and more productive, then we’re all in. But if you’re looking to de-skill, dehumanize, and replace workers, to put people out on the street with no path forward, then absolutely you’re going to have a revolution. So I think that’s something we all need to be very real about and think seriously about. If we’re going to have productivity gains, working people—the ones who make these industries happen—need to share in that. There hasn’t been a lot of discussion about that here. Of course, in terms of how we create policies, how we create tax infrastructure, whether or not we are redistributing—yes, that word is a dirty word around here—we need to talk about it and confront how we’re going to make sure working people share in the gains of these technologies. And if you look at the numbers of jobs, let’s talk about job quality. Yes, maybe there are a lot of jobs created, but what kind of jobs are we talking about? Are they jobs that can sustain a family? Is it a job where people can actually work one job? One job should be enough.

We hear about the IT revolution, AI and data every day, and we hear that this is the information age where information is freely available and accessible. But the job of a school like this is to create people who are able to look at information, turn that information into knowledge and even more importantly, behave with wisdom. Because in the information age, if we don’t have wisdom and are carried away only by information, the world will become a very unpleasant place. So schools like this have a very important role, because they turn young students into wise citizens. I would like to thank all the faculty members and teachers who are doing this tremendous work - not just for the school but for the entire nation. : LoP Shri Rahul Gandhi 📍 Tamil Nadu

. Jeremy Boreing asked me how we can help young men find meaning and purpose. Not philosophically…practically. First, I addressed what we are doing wrong. We are not meeting them where they are, on their terms, and until we do that, they won’t be receptive. Gen-Z is not proactively seeking advice, so we have to bring it to them. Second, we need to acknowledge that certain things in their life ARE hard. Too many in the “older” generations are not acknowledging this and simply telling them to “suck it up.” But…we then need to demonstrate to them that life has always been hard and we need to give them that perspective. How do we do this? Make “rites of passage” great again. Getting your driver’s license (I meet so many young people who simply Uber everywhere and thus never got a license). Making the varsity football team (so many young people gave up on sports during Covid). Asking a girl on a date: face-to-face. You become a “legal” adult on your 18th birthday. But you become an actual adult when you acquire enough life experiences that deem you mature enough to BE an adult and these come through rites of passage. Right now we have a generation of young males trying to “learn” manhood from the manosphere which is the definition of immaturity. A “rite of passage” is about triumphing through and beyond something. The manosphere’s business model is to keep young men stuck. It creates followers, not leaders. Perhaps the most important rite of passage we can provide these young men right now is to leave this nonsense and go on with building their lives on their own terms. Young men need the dirt under their fingernails that comes from REAL life experiences, not the calluses on their fingers that come from constant screen swipes.

Christianity is a National Security Threat: "We have a Bible mandate to be a comfort to the Jewish people because they have been through the hell of the Holocaust" "God has never called the Gentile people in the Old Testament his people. These are the Jewish people" "We are doing what we are doing in order to ensure that America continues to survive and thrive because the Bible says, "I will bless those who bless you, Israel. I will curse those who curse you, Israel." "History has shown us that both biblical and otherwise. And whether we like it or not, the modern state of Israel is proof positive that the Bible is true and that God is real." "And that is why we do what we do. If the nation of is Israel ceased to exist, then the Bible is a lie. And so we are not lobbying for a foreign nation. We are exercising what we believe is our biblical mandate to do what we can to bless the nation of Israel and its people"

Head coach Dave Aranda's full quote on what he would say to frustrated fans: "We’ve got a bunch of really, really good people in the program that are doing everything they can to get wins and to make it an entertaining product for the fans. It means so much when there are fans there and there’s a home-field environment. I look at the guys that are on our team right now, who have been through so much and are such quality football — really good football players — more than that, but just quality people. They’re the type of people that maybe some of the people who are talking about them knew them better, would be all for them, and support them no matter what. I think for them, to have it where their work is being rewarded with people that got their back in a critical game would be cool, but I understand what you’re saying. I can definitely see that."

The conversation is complicated. Things are not as simple as we hope or want them to be. We are all saddened, frightened and furious about everything. SO much is on the line; people’s lives, everywhere, are on the line. There are people that want to condemn reality, rather than working from within any opposition to change it. To make it safer. The system(s) we have in this world are far beyond flawed. And yet, through horrid strife, unimaginable violence and suffering, and terrible, terrible mistakes, America still, somehow, remains a country that people can hope to be free in. That is worth something. That is worth voting for.

Jasmine Crockett Says She Wants to Use Potential Dem Leadership Position to Keep Trump from 'K*lling Us' "So I’m looking forward to some of the things that we’re going to do on oversight as we continue to push back against this administration now that we know that they are doing things such as, you know, snatching people off the streets and throwing them down in what I would consider to be concentration camps or prisons." "And these are people that haven’t been convicted of anything, and it’s wrong. Listen, we have oversight over them. If we are in a contract with El Salvador, then it is us that have to decide as to whether or not they are violating human rights. And so we have to be given an opportunity to inspect. So even if James Comer says, ‘No, Democrats, you can’t go down there,’ we are elected members of the Oversight Committee, so we should be requiring that they turn over reports to us..." "We need to show up at their doors, and we need to conduct a field hearing right there at FDA. Same thing as it relates to the planes that are falling out of the sky." "We need some real transparency, and we need some honesty, and we need to make sure that the American people are just as enraged as we all should be, because this administration is truly trying to k*ll us, it feels like." Do you think Jasmine Crockett should be the leader of the Democratic Party?

Lex Fridman asked Elon Musk what the meaning of life is. His answer was not what anyone expected. We do not know, he said. And that is exactly why we need to expand consciousness. Not to find the answer. To ask better questions. He believes the universe is full of things we cannot even formulate yet. We are like children trying to understand calculus. The problem is not that calculus is too hard. The problem is that we have not developed enough to know it exists. Consciousness, to him, is a tool for exploring the universe. The more of it we have, the better our questions become. The better our questions become, the closer we get to understanding what any of this means. This is why he builds rockets and brain interfaces and AI. Not because he has the answers. Because he thinks the only way to get them is to expand what we are capable of thinking. Most people spend their lives looking for meaning. Elon is building the tools to look for it at a scale we cannot yet imagine.

"Let me be very clear about this argument and discussion that has developed about age and about opportunities for young people," Maxine Waters tells Nicholas Wu. "I do believe that everybody should have the opportunity, with qualifications, to try and be a member of Congress, to try and be in positions for any of our regulatory agencies. I believe in the vote. "Now, having said that, I don't think we should talk about whether or not we should give up the mantle. I think it should be about supporting the idea that everybody should have an opportunity. Young people should run for these offices, and if they are competent, if they're capable, if they raise the money — if they do all of those things and they win, then they should have the seat. "For those of us who've been there, I want us to be absolutely looked at, to be criticized, to be examined, to see whether or not we have done what was expected of us and whether or not we have truly represented the people that have put us in these offices. "If we're not doing that, then we shouldn't be there, and we will probably not win our seats, but if we have, then ... we'll stay there. I'll be there. I'm not moving."

This isn’t about fat shaming anyone, but an issue that needs to be addressed. Police and MNDF are responsible for protecting our nation from both internal and external threats. So they should be among the fittest individuals in the country. If these frontline services are struggling with health and fitness, it’s a reflection of a wider national problem. An unhealthy population places a significant financial strain on Aasandha. Much of this is preventable. That’s why we need to have a serious conversation about it. We need a national survey to understand why so many people are facing health and weight issues. Is it cause of our dietary habits, like having curry every day? Is it due to limited space for physical activity? Are high rise buildings discouraging people from going out once they’re home? Or is it something to do with the ingredients we commonly use? Is it the oil that STO is selling? What is it? A chronically unhealthy workforce weakens national productivity and security.

1% of the population is responsible for more than 60% of violent crime. And a disproportionate share of that 1% happens to come from marginalized or dispossessed groups. And because of this the logic some people seem to think well, we just shouldn’t enforce laws anymore. But the problem is, criminals usually victimize people around them. And the people they’re victimizing also tend to be disproportionately poor, disproportionately marginalized, disproportionately from deprived backgrounds too. Compared to Americans who earn more than $75,000 a year, the lowest-income Americans are 7 times more likely to be victims of aggravated assault, 7 times more likely to be victims of robbery, and 20 times more likely to be victims of sexual assault and homicide. Virtually every crime you can think of — the poor are the most likely to be victimized by it. And what gets lost is that poor people are much more likely to be victimized by crime than to be perpetrators of crime. But we focus so much of the attention on the perpetrators — and how they come from marginalized and deprived backgrounds — and we just don’t think nearly as much about the victims. What happens to them. What their lives look like afterward. And I think that’s a shame. I mean, if there’s a criminal who commits an act, we should spend more time thinking about how to help the victim than the perpetrator. From my conversation with Garry Tan

Arteta on his role to re-energise the Arsenal team. 💪 “Certainly, when you lose a game, you have a lot of feelings because, especially, this group of players are so competitive and they seek for excellence and when you don't reach it, you ask yourself questions, and we did that. “But I think my role there as well is to bring optimism and reality about where we are, and yeah, our club has a long history. And to find a moment where, in February, we're in the position that we are, is very difficult to find. So guys, we are doing so many things so well, and let's focus mainly on that. And for sure, we want to improve, we want to be better in every area, but with that sense as well of self-confidence and conviction that we are in the right path. Anyone need to lift Arteta? “No, in these moments, no. Normally, I'm the opposite and when we are doing so well, I'm there with a stick to say, 'This is not good enough,' 'This is not good enough.' The other day, no, because I know how much they wanted the amount of games and the demands that we put on those players every day. “In those moments, they need to understand and feel that we are right behind them. I'm mainly responsible for that and they keep playing with that freedom, with that enjoyment, as I discussed the other day, and I make sure that that journey is beautiful because what is ahead is great and everybody has to be part of that but in a good sense and with good humor and with good optimism and looking forward to it.”

Elon Musk about the meaning of life and the trap of wishful thinking : “When I was a kid, I was wondering what's the meaning of life? Like, why are we here? What's it all about? And I came to the conclusion that what really matters is trying to understand the right questions to ask. And the more that we can increase the scope and scale of human consciousness, the better we are able to ask these questions. And so I think that there are certain things that are necessary to ensure that the future is good. One of the biggest mistakes people generally make, and I'm guilty of it too, is wishful thinking. You know, like, you want something to be true even if it isn't true. And so you ignore the things that you ignore the real truth because of what you want to be true. This is a very difficult trap to avoid.”

American Citizens Are Calling For Accountably Of Their Money Being Spent On Illegal Immigration Programs Illegal Immigrants Given Up To $9,000 Per Month For Housing Assistance 🚨 “Let's talk about the money that is being spent. I think that there needs to be a federal audit against the company that we have contracted out to take care of the migrants. We have nurses that are being paid $64,000 a month. We have security officers that are being paid as much as $24,000 a month. We have home health care workers that are being paid up to $17,000 a month. You don't think that Chicagoans could have benefited from that? We have citizens in this city that have been on the waiting list for affordable housing for years, and migrants have been bumped in front of them. We have people who have been given up to $9,000 a month for housing assistance. That amount of the city of Chicago. We are not am pro black. I am for my marginalized who have been expect us to give up our parks places in our community for others. We're not saying that there's not room here, but what we are saying is that we are not going to step aside for you to accommodate them when you have continued to leave us out of the equation. So I'm not just talking to Brandon Johnson right now. I'm talking to Governor Pritzker and I'm talking to President Biden and I want you to understand This upcoming political year where the Democratic Party is on the menu, hear me, people of Chicago, of Illinois and of the United States. It is time for us as black people to stop voting party. It is time for us to stop voting color. It is time for us to start voting our self-interest. And if the Democrats in the city of Chicago, the state of Illinois, and the country of USA refuses to listen to us, then it is time for us to start looking at other alternatives. We are looking at all the alternatives. We will not step aside and continue to be mistreated. We will not continue to be disrespected. I'm looking at people who are coming here from another country giving work visas, giving social security cards. Nobody is asking them what walk of life that they come from. You don't think that our brothers who have been in prison, out and who have changed their lives will benefit for the same opportunities that we're giving these migrants. And I'm not saying that they don't deserve those opportunities. But what I am saying is we deserve them first. What I am saying is you can't continue to put us on the back burner and think that we're going to continue to be okay with it. We've done that for long enough. And what we're saying here today is that is no longer acceptable to our governor that you're not going to continue to set money aside for people who don't live here and disrespect, mistreat and forget about us. You've forgotten about us. You have treated us as if we don't matter and we're saying to you you're not going to continue to do this. We're saying to you to see us. You're dumping people into our communities who are going to at some point move us out of the say to you, if you want to glimpse into what's going to happen, look at how people of color are being treated in Venezuela right now. We seem to forget that Venezuela was one of the first places that had African slaves that they were taken to. We're forgetting about that. And so we're forgetting that there are blacks in Venezuela who are being treated the same way we are. And so for us to expect that they're going to come here and be put into society and treat us differently is a pipe drain.”

Whitney Webb: "So essentially what this public private partnership that the WEF is pushing for is for every person's access to the internet to be tied to a digital ID or a government-issued ID, but presumably a digital ID just because of where government-issued ID programs are all going essentially around the world. People aren't necessarily going to consent to that unless they are made to believe that anonymity and privacy online are dangerous." "So how exactly can you convince people that that needs to happen? Well you have some sort of event where anonymous hackers do something online that causes major disruption globally and then the consent can be manufactured through fear and panic as is often done that anonymity and privacy needs to be eliminated, that we need to know exactly who is doing what online to prevent a calamity of that scale from ever happening again." "And this is the exact solution that these guys have been cooking for a very long time."
