Dari Pos Dogoton, saya ke Karakit, pekan yang menjadi nadi kehidupan ribuan penduduk di Pulau Banggi. Sebaik tiba, saya dibawa ke Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Banggi, lokasi sama yang pernah saya kunjungi sekitar 32 tahun lalu. Kunjungan ini menghimbau kembali lawatan saya pada 10 November 1994 untuk meletakkan batu asas dan melakukan pecah tanah sebagai simbolik permulaan pembinaan SMK Banggi. Hingga hari ini, sekolah ini kekal sebagai satu-satunya sekolah menengah di Pulau Banggi. Saya juga sempat bertemu bekas pengetua SMK Banggi, Cikgu Abdul Kadir Junaidil yang memimpin sekolah ini ketika ia mula membuka pintunya kepada anak-anak Banggi pada tahun 1997. Sebelum sekolah ini diwujudkan, ramai pelajar terpaksa ke tanah besar Kudat untuk menyambung pendidikan. Tidak kurang juga yang terhenti persekolahan kerana kekangan kos dan kesukaran perjalanan. Alhamdulillah, sekolah yang suatu ketika dahulu hanya sebuah tapak kini berdiri megah dan menjadi medan mencorak masa depan pulau terpencil ini. Pertemuan dengan anak-anak yang pernah menimba ilmu di sekolah ini dan telah melangkah jauh dalam kehidupan memberi makna besar buat saya. Semoga anak-anak Banggi terus berjaya, kembali menyumbang kepada masyarakat dan menjadi sebahagian daripada ikhtiar besar kita membangunkan pulau ini demi masa depan yang lebih adil dan bermaruah. #MalaysiaMADANI #MADANIbekerja #YakinMADANI

𝐑𝐈𝐌𝐁𝐔𝐍 𝟐.𝟎: 𝐒𝐚𝐭𝐮 𝐌𝐞𝐣𝐚. 𝐏𝐞𝐥𝐛𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐢 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐤𝐭𝐢𝐟. 𝐒𝐚𝐭𝐮 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐥𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐭. Rakyat hari ini mahu melihat perbahasan atau wacana yang membincangkan idea segar, keberanian mengupas agenda dan pencarian solusi yang benar-benar mampu memberi manfaat kepada negara serta masa depan generasi akan datang. Saya menyambut baik usaha Pemuda UMNO Malaysia menganjurkan RIMBUN 2.0 yang membawa tema “Satu Meja. Pelbagai Perspektif. Satu Matlamat: Kedaulatan Ekonomi Negara”. RIMBUN 2.0 menghimpunkan pelbagai pandangan, idea dan kepakaran dalam satu meja rundingan demi satu matlamat besar iaitu memperkukuh kedaulatan ekonomi negara. Program ini turut menghimpunkan tokoh, golongan profesional, mahasiswa, usahawan serta anak muda untuk bersama berkongsi pandangan dan membina masa depan negara. Saya percaya, masa depan ekonomi negara tidak boleh dibentuk tanpa suara dan penglibatan generasi muda. Kepada yang berkelapangan, jemput hadir bersama esok di Dewan Tun Hussein Onn, WTC Kuala Lumpur yaa. #RIMBUN2.0 #PemudaUMNOMalaysia #PemudaCaraKita

Elon has been the longest and by far the biggest voice actively warning about the dangers of AI for a very long time The entire reason he started OpenAI was this one thing.....to make sure AI is built for the good of humanity and not against it Last week he took it a step further. He personally went and met with senior members of the Anthropic team to understand how they are working towards AI safety He offered them compute on Colossus 1 only after he was sure they’re doing it right - before ending their suffering for the lack of compute and the bad PR for the last three months The relief was instant. Anthropic immediately relaxed rate limits for all Claude users and completely removed peak time restrictions This is exactly why Elon is the one who should be guiding us through the AI era

@NotTomBrown Same here. By way of background for those who care, I spent a lot of time last week with senior members of the Anthropic team to understand what they do to ensure Claude is good for humanity and was impressed. Everyone I met was highly competent and cared a great deal about

Let's consult the historical record to see what the Aztec society was up to when the Spanish conquered it. First, from Cortes: “They have a most horrid and abominable custom which truly ought to be punished and which until now we have seen in no other part, and this is that, whenever they wish to ask something of the idols, in order that their plea may find more acceptance, they take many girls and boys and even adults, and in the presence of the idols they open their chests while they are still alive and take out their hearts and entrails and burn them before the idols, offering the smoke as sacrifice. Some of us have seen this, and they say it is the most terrible and frightful thing they have ever witnessed… not one year passes in which they do not kill and sacrifice some fifty persons in each temple; and this is done and held as customary… not one year has passed… in which three or four thousand souls have not been sacrificed in this manner.” And now Bernal Diaz del Castillo: “The dismal drum of Huichilobos sounded again, accompanied by conches, horns and trumpet-like instruments. It was a terrifying sound, and when we looked at the tall cue [temple] from which it came we saw our comrades who had been captured in Cortes’ defeat being dragged up the steps to be sacrificed. When they had hauled them up to a small platform in front of the shrine where they kept their accursed idols we saw them put plumes on the heads of many of them; and they made them dance with a sort of fan in front of Huichilobos. Then after they had danced the papas [priests] laid them down on their backs on some narrow stones of sacrifice and, cutting open their chests, drew out their palpitating hearts which they offered to the idols before them.” ... “Every day we saw sacrificed before us three, four or five Indians whose hearts were offered to the idols and their blood plastered on the walls, and their feet, arms and legs of the victims were cut off and eaten… Every wall of this chapel and the whole floor, had become almost black with human blood, and… the stench was worse than in a Spanish slaughter-house.” ... “When we arrived at the great market place, called Tlaltelolco, we were astounded at the number of people and the quantity of merchandise that it contained… Let us begin with the dealers in gold, silver, and precious stones, feathers, mantles, and embroidered goods. Then there were other wares consisting of Indian slaves both men and women; and I say that they bring as many of them to that great market for sale as the Portuguese bring negroes from Guinea…. They brought some of them tied to long poles by means of collars around their necks so they would not escape, and others left loose.” ~~ This is what the Spanish conquered in the name of Christendom - a Stone-Age society consumed with ritualistic human sacrifice, cannibalism and slavery.

This is absolutely mind blowing! When Karin Bass was in Ghana as Los Angeles burned, the deputy mayor she left in charge was at home on house arrest. For phoning in a bomb threat. We are indeed governed by criminals. From @spencerpratt on @joerogan

Dostoevsky captures the essence of the modern, downwardly mobile progressive activist, 150 years early. A conviction of higher destiny, no path to reach it, and a misery that converts into hatred of the surrounding world. Politics is downstream of psychology, and this is the psychology.
