I’ve finally concluded there’s something suspicious about the human brain. During the day, mine can barely manage basic tasks. Ask me what I ate yesterday, I mostly have no idea. Ask me where I left my charger and I’ll only find it when I get a new one. My brain operates like a lazy intern: shows up late, does the bare minimum, takes long breaks. … Continue reading My Brain at 3AM Is a Dangerous Place
US President Donald Trump says Saudi Arabia’s crown prince knew nothing about the murder of Jamal Khashoggi, which is an incredible thing to say with a straight face. It’s like insisting the sun had nothing to do with daylight. And he didn’t whisper it in some hallway. He said it in the Oval Office. The room where people pretend to be serious even when they’re … Continue reading Oval Office Deals and Dismembered Journalists
They say we are living through a war of the sexes, but if you pay attention, the war feels less like a revolution and more like a stage play. Lines scripted, roles rehearsed, outrage distributed like rations. People take sides as if humanity itself could be neatly split into blue and pink camps. Yet when you look closer, what emerges is not a natural struggle … Continue reading The Manufactured Gender War
Donald Trump loves numbers when they suit him. Yesterday on September 8, 2025, at the Museum of the Bible, he leaned back in his chair, and declared victory. Crime in America, he said, had dropped by 27 percent since his return to office.
In Washington, D.C., he bragged that homicides were down 60 percent. He credited himself, his deployment of the National Guard, and his iron will. Then came the line that revealed more than he intended.

On September 5, 2025, Donald Trump sat in the Oval Office and did something that shocked many people who still hang on his every word. He praised vaccines.
He said,

Every parent wants to protect their child. But too often, we talk about safety by frightening children instead of preparing them. The world is not always safe, and Zimbabwe is no exception. The numbers show why we need to act. Globally, the International Labour Organization estimates that around 1.2 million children are trafficked every year. UNICEF warns that children make up more than a quarter … Continue reading Keep Your Kids Safe Without Terrifying Them
Every morning in Zimbabwe, the outrage begins like clockwork. A Twitter thread appears: “The government must stop overpriced vehicle license fees!” A Facebook post demands, “Zimbabweans should insist on fair public transport fares!” Somewhere, an activist hashtags a new policy blunder. By midday, the digital landscape is alight with moral imperatives. Ministers scroll past, smiling privately, perhaps even grateful for the free publicity. Our carefully … Continue reading Zimbabwe’s Daily Outrage Industry Keeps the Government Smiling
On September 3, 2025, Beijing’s Tiananmen Square transformed into a formidable stage for a military display that resonated far beyond its borders. Commemorating the 80th anniversary of China’s victory over Japanese forces in World War II, the parade was not merely a historical reflection but a deliberate projection of China’s evolving geopolitical stance. The event was graced by an array of international dignitaries, underscoring China’s … Continue reading China’s Parade of Steel and Silence
Engineer Jacob Kudzayi Mutisi recently wrote a piece on Byo 24 that has been shared widely by the news pirates on WhatsApp. He argued that Zimbabweans are wealthier than Americans because they buy cars and build houses without debt. No mortgages. No student loans. No credit cards. The picture painted was one of a people living debt-free, while the West is drowning in obligations. It … Continue reading Engineer Jacob Kudzayi Mutisi is Wrong About Debt Free “Wealth”
The announcement that Zimbabwe’s social workers will soon be required to sit for a licensing examination has been met with loud protests. On social media, the mood has been indignant. Graduates ask why they should face another exam after years of university study. Others suspect the Council of Social Workers is overreaching. Yet much of this outrage feels misplaced when seen in the wider context … Continue reading The Outrage over Social Work Exams Is Embarrassing For The Profession
