Lagos was buzzing with the energy of Detty December. Booming Afrobeats clubs and house and techno music raves dominated the city’s soundscape. But tucked in the frenzy was a different kind of musical celebration: the Egwù Vinyl Festival, a rare ode to analogue sound and Nigerian music history.
Play it again: Vinyl is making a comeback in Nigeria

People are about to learn just how many programs, departments, events, roles, etc for Black and brown folks were federally funded (and in some cases federally protected). All the Black ppl who always ask "what have the dems even done for us" are about to get the most dramatic answer possible.

Nelson Mandela could have seized all the property stolen by the White Apartheid regime when he took power as many wanted him to do.
If he had Elon Musk would have really started with nothing, and we wouldn't have to put up with him today.

Diana Mosley née Mitford was lead book reviewer in the Evening Standard up to 1996, despite being unrepentant at being a nazi. So much for nazis facing ostracism back in the day
Recently learned Diana Mitford (Lady Mosley) was on Desert Island Discs in 1989. Still a “Lady” and impolite society… and her views did not change.

Social media should play a major role in how we communicate weather warnings and other catastrophe-related info to the public. But the overreliance on using a handful of privately owned apps to effectively spread official and time-sensitive information should be viewed as a major concern.
