So here's Kagame admitting he lied a year ago when he told CNN he didn't know if Rwanda had troops in DRC. His audience laughs sycophantically. When I said in "Do Not Disturb" that Rwandan culture regarded lying to outsiders as an admirable art form, it caused an uproar. x.com/larrymadowo/...

Ah, Anthropic, the company that pirated four of my books and which should have been sued into bankruptcy.
Anthropic’s Super Bowl ad which criticizes AI chatbots that run ads (aka ChatGPT) just dropped. They aren’t pulling any punches and I love the song choice.

Ethiopian PM Abiy Ahmed answered questions in parliament today. Loosely addressing recent clashes & his gov's fallout with neighbouring Eritrea. When asked what was behind the feud with Eritrea, he stated that things began to unravel when Eritrean soldiers massacred civilians during the Tigray war.

The US is bombing Somalia at levels never seen before. I’ve written for @semafor.com on the logic and contradictions driving this policy. www.semafor.com/article/02/0...
View: Why US airstrikes in Somalia are reaching record levels under Trump
The Pentagon’s opacity over the attacks is creating an accountability gap, drawing parallels with the administration’s immigration enforcement push at home.
