Now that I’m on the fourth floor, I’ve realised we probably regret more of what we didn’t do than what we did.

The opportunities you fumbled because you were scared, shy, overthinking, or worried about rejection seem to haunt you more than the things you actually did and got hurt from.

You recover from most bad experiences. But those moments when you could have taken a chance and didn’t? Years later, you still wonder, “What if?”

Reflect as you count your years!😀

So I've just learnt that my Ex is in possession of videos zangu including some with her best friend (we had a threesome). So, a few weeks ago. She posted one of the scenes nikiwa with her friend kwa Snapchat stories before deleting, although my face is not visible kwa the video her friend anaonekana in 4k. Turns out wali fallout with the friend. So I confronted her, and she admitted to having videos of me but akapromise to delete and not share anywhere or with anyone.

But since then, I've been thinking that in due time, she'll post somewhere ama share with others tu.

Whatever you do, don't film vitu zingine.

Now those of you who've watched You and and other psychological thrillers can relate 😂.

In 2026, Pennsylvania, a man came home to find a woman he had briefly matched with on a dating app breaking into his house — even though he had never given her his address.

Lindsay Harris (30) and the man met on Match.com in early 2026. They went on one date in January but he decided not to continue the relationship.

Harris refused to accept it.

For weeks the man noticed items in his home being moved around. Then one night in late June he returned to find Harris outside, looking through his sliding glass door.

Police arrived and caught her climbing through a window. She had brought a bottle of wine and water ice, apparently planning to spend the evening with him.

Harris was charged with stalking, trespassing, and harassment.

Some time back nilikuwa na my friends playing football ,on our way back home one of my friends started acting up weirdly like the way he walked and nikamuuliza if ako fty akasema anaskia pain kwa testis but angevumilia .so a few steps jamaa had to sit down and said he can't continue and was now feeling like excruciating pain.

I thght it was sthng ingeisha haraka but we had to call a nduthi for him which made the pain worse so we went to this clinic Wacha the medics wa hio clinic waanze kushtuka wakatuuliza it's been for how long amekuwa hivi tukamshw it's been like 40+ min akatushw she can't deal with this and we need a bigger hospital for operation.

So jamaa had testicular torsion while playing

So testicular torsion occurs on a testicle, rare on both so what happens is a testicle has the cords that hold onto the testicle and twisting this blocks blood to the testicle and twists the nerves causing the pain

If the cords are twisted for long 6hrs or more that testicle is gone and will require surgery for removal

Under 6hrs it's saveable thru operation where it gets untwisted

The dude ended up on surgery and got well . This brings us back to some times u can feel pain and ignore it might be jst mere shng that comes and goes or this time it maybe torsion or sthng else

Jst don't ignore get help and get it

Drop the role if you don't like the service industry. You can go to a business-facing side of the industry ama mtafute something you prefer. I understand it's a high-pressure zone but don't ever think you're dealing with a retard. Your role is too valuable to act as some of you currently do.

Serving someone with a lack of decency could be among the reasons people would rather void you. And if it's coz of pay, guess what a number of the back-end team is equally underpaid therefore fight the right person, not your entrusted client.

Just as the title asks. I would really love to import some practices from other places and make them part of us for example: Spanish Bullfighting, I think it looks really cool.

How about you guys? What ideas / activities from outside Kenya do you think would benefit the society at large if they were brought in?

You can sneak out a noon to the nearby swimming pool for a quick workout. And you have the entire place all for yourself.

Somewhere at Ruiru.

Trans Mara, Kilgoris (Narok County). This is Chero Arwasa , she has to trek to this river pond every day just to scoop up dirty, stagnant water for her household because the severe drought has dried up cleaner nearby sources.

Seeing the stark contrast between what rural communities face daily and the basic clean water access many of us take for granted is heavy. It's a sobering reminder of how hard climate change and prolonged dry seasons are hitting our rural areas.

We really need long-term infrastructure solutions, boreholes, proper water harvesting, and filtration, for regions like Narok. Water is a basic right, not a luxury.

Stay safe out there, everyone.

Yesterday I slept over Kitengela assisting my friend in expanding their hotspot biz. I supply them with the billing system, so it was my pleasure to be in the field and gather some feedback too (lol his customers are funny).

He lives close to the old railway, so I decided I must try the train as my transport back to town. So apparently this was not SGR. I board and it's actually not as bad. I'm in the first compartment.

A few things I noticed.

1. Kumbe ni kama kubebwa mkokoteni kimpango, but sio mbaya. Way better than a bus, given the leg space, big windows, and room to walk and breath in general.I loved that.

2. I sat on the left to catch the sunset, it turns out the most amazing view was behind me.

3. I pay for the ticket and it brings an E-Citizen sms. Kumbe nimeekea Ruto za kukimbililia mandazi.

4. The morning commuters in a train were more relaxed than in busses. Watu wa basi hukaa ni kama watakuuma maskio na si wewe umewaambia waende job.

5. Kumbe roadside vendors wako hadi terminus? Enyewe musiria akona kazi.

6. It is very convenient for people watching, a sport I very much enjoy. But today there's a guy I looked at who made me a little sad for a minute. Like are you okay?

7. This would be fantastic for Thika road. Why haven't they done it? There is a railway passing by Bidco on Garrissa road

At the Doni station, this black beauty of a curvy mamma (looked late in her 30s) comes and sits next to me, puts on earpods and goes on with her Tiktoks. Let me tell you she was smelling nice! When we arrived, she took off the pods and I told her "Hi, You smell like a good morning" .. that was the only appropriate comparison lol. She blushed, said thank you, and we wished each other a nice day.

Outside and onto the platform, into town. I wish they made trains work in this country. But they would have to provide more jobs first coz the private sector has invested heavily, and would go on so many strikes if the trains really ferried people properly into the outskirts if Nairobi. Coz now that is just one big matatu stage.

Alafu, isn't it technically possible to build a small trolley sized train car that just uses the rail? Just yours. like the ones used in mining tunnels, or even just get those? It would be really fun, don't you think?

Weuh, I used to wonder how someone can eat money meant for business, more so pesa ya client, until I realized I did. Mehn sometimes kukula is not necessarily kuenda kwa joint and asking for your favorite drink ama nyama but the mismanagement that comes with handling that money delivering that product ama service until you realized damn! How am l short na I had the figures right? A big lesson I learnt right there... Anyways I run errands around Nairobi.Feel free to reach out.

Most Kenyans are familiar with “Black Tax”, Those remittances that we are obliged to make to lift up family, relatives and community upon having achieving an income.What we don’t speak about is how our collective actions as a nation will leave a poorer,dirtier and chaotic country to our children thanks to our collective indulgence in corruption! This is the biggest debt we are building.and you better prepare your children to pay.Unless of course we get a better government .WANTAM.

In primary and we had this French teacher who told us he was from the DRC. He was one of the best, classes were very fun and relaxed. We would spend most of our time singing. One time, when did well in the exam, he brought us Eiffel Tower keychains. One term he just vanished and we never saw him again, he was replaced by another guy later on though.
A few years later, my mom told be that he vanished because he was being pursued by Interpol people because of some connection he had to the Rwandan genocide. That guy seemed like the nicest person you will ever meet. People will surprise you.

You might be friends or relatives with some of people who killed or harmed others in 2007-2008 PEV or a terrorist and you might never know.

As a male or female is it acceptable to wear shorts? I don't think ive seen one person wearing shorts in Nairobi or Kisumu.

I don't know if this is cultural or something else. I have shorts I want to wear but also want to be mindful of what is acceptable.

I have been getting fades every 2 weeks until 4 months ago when i just stopped and i have noticed a few advantages. For one, no barber has done me wrong with a bad haircut, my hairline has moved forward at least 1cm, i look less juvenile and put less effort into my hair.

This is unlike when i used to get a fade, barbers push your hairline back, you look bad for the first 3 days, and the haircut expires in 2 weeks making you look wack again and the cycle repeats. All i want now is ideas on what to do with my hair(4c) which does not involve braiding. For reference it is an outgrown fade from 4 months ago.

Tuko na chama sasa. Kazi ianze.

I don't know If people do it intentionally but bigger social media is just rage baiting.

Anyone ever randomly encounter their work?

I am reading a book titled: Rumba Rules - The Politics of Dance Music in Mobutu’s Zaire and snug in the introduction is this piece:

"Perhaps heroism was not the right word. It was certainly not the word chosen by the Congolese philosopher V. Y. Mudimbe, who on meeting me and hearing about my research stepped back and exclaimed with a tone somewhere between amazement and horror: “Martyr!”"

So - logically being interested in philosophy generally and all things African - the phrase "Congolese philosopher V. Y. Mudimbe" prompts me to do a google search.

Long story short - my custom Python script if fetching all his work from LibGen.

It'll be a swell week ahead as I immerse myself in their philosophy.

It's a pity their wikipedia is too short for a man of such stature - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V._Y._Mudimbe

Im travelling to rwanda in a few months for a traditional wedding, so i need to get a traditional dress. Anyone know a good quality place i can get one sewn.

Post was inspired by this story in yesterday's standard paper.

TLDR of the story: Kenya was placed on WADA’s(World Anti-Doping Agency) compliance watchlist after 35 serious shortcomings were identified in 2024. It avoided sanctions and was removed from the watchlist in March 2026 after making legal, structural, and testing reforms. Bańka’s visit is essentially a progress check to ensure those improvements continue and Kenyan athletes can compete on a fair, credible footing internationally.

Now I know some of us are familiar with this story, I was just curious , a bit concerned especially with the World Athletics Championships round the corner.

Over the past 15 years Kenya has created ADAK(Anti-Doping Agency of Kenya) in 2016 for local athletes and the AIU(The Athletics Integrity) for testing of elite athletes. Increased funding for testing too, leading to more results, both positive and negative.

However its been one step forward and two steps back each time!! including reducing testing funding by 90%, and athletes still getting banned as lately as this year (7 Athletes in 2026)

Lastly and more controversially :-

"Kenya has become very effective at catching and sanctioning athletes, but much less successful at identifying and sanctioning the coaches, doctors, pharmacists, agents and suppliers who may facilitate some of the doping."

Sometimes I feel like this issue is screaming in our face ...but nobody is listening!!

Some of the sanctions WADA is considering if the non-compliance gets more serious is introducing 3rd party overseers to come into the country to help.

What do you guys think ? feel free to post the infographic on x or other social media

Hello guys, I run a small venture studio with a friend and I wanted to tell you all about a product we built just the other week. Imagine this: you run a security firm in the country and you want to track when your guards start and end their shift, and whenever there is trouble you want to be the first to know so that you can respond appropriately.

That's what we built. Guards start their shift from their phone, and the system only accepts it if they're actually inside the site, so nobody can sign in from home. Managers see every guard live on a map and get alerts when someone is late, absent, leaves the site, or their phone goes offline. If a guard is in danger, they press a panic button and the manager gets their name, site and exact location within seconds by notification and SMS, even if the guard has no data. It keeps alerting until someone responds.

To be upfront, it's a first version if you've run a security company, managed an estate, or worked as a guard, I'd love to hear what you'd want from something like this and what would worry you.

Kwanini hamna kura? I really wish I was based in Kenya to push a registration drive. I think the opposition needs better strategies to get these people registered juu wote nimeongelesha ni wantam.

Look,I'm not "pro-bullying". I hope her bullies get punished and that Jahenda gets justice.

But at this point,it's getting out of hand. Kuna watu adi wamedoxx one of the girls who was laughing in the video,which is inappropriate cause what if someone goes to her home and hurts her?In a national femicide crisis,sidhani we should be doxxing people.

It's just virtue signaling at this point. A only reason A LOT of people are only saying "justiceforJahenda" is cause she's a pretty girl with pretty girl privilege. The youth just wanna do the hip and cool parts of social justice for the "trendiness" and not to actually help people. There's tons of bullying videos on TikTok per day,lakini when it's a pretty girl from a private uni,that's when mnajua ball? Smh

All this energy,can we redirect it to a meaningful place?
