You should try his Books out. Great Author that one. Purchase his work via the link below. kibangabooks.com/books/jacks… kibangabooks.com/books/drunk…

I haven't read much of Biko other than his blog but he seems like he has that writer persona. A writer shouldn't lead his life like a teacher or an engineer would. There's always something beautiful, detestable, pitiful and so electrifying about a writer's life.

The Swedish government told her she owed 102% of her income in taxes. She was 68 years old, a children's book author, and held no political power. Yet, by writing a simple fairy tale, she helped topple a government that had ruled for 44 years. Stockholm, 1976. Astrid Lindgren opened her mail to find a tax assessment that defied logic. As Sweden’s most beloved author and the creator of Pippi Longstocking, her books had taught generations of children about courage, independence, and standing up to bullies. Now, she had to face a broken system of her own. She read the document carefully, did the math, and realized the truth: due to a quirk in the law that combined regular income tax with self-employment fees, her marginal tax rate had hit 102%. It was not a typo, nor was it a rounding error. One hundred and two percent. If she paid what they demanded on her extra earnings, she would owe more than she actually made. She would literally go into debt for the privilege of working. At 68 years old, she could have hired expensive accountants to quietly find loopholes and protect her wealth. She could have done what many powerful people do when systems overreach—safeguard her own position and leave everyone else to figure it out alone. Instead, she picked up her pen. In March 1976, she published a satirical fairy tale in Expressen, a major Stockholm newspaper. It was called "Pomperipossa in Monismania" (Pomperipossa in Money-mania). It told the story of a successful author who loved her country and worked hard, only to discover a tax system designed to punish honesty and success. The story was witty, precise, and impossible to misread. Pomperipossa was Astrid; Monismania was Sweden. The ruling Social Democratic Party—which had governed Sweden for over forty consecutive years—was furious. Prime Minister Olof Palme went on the defensive, dismissively claiming in public that Lindgren was a wonderful storyteller but a terrible mathematician. Astrid didn't back down. She stood by her numbers, and soon enough, the Ministry of Finance was forced to admit that her math was completely correct. She began appearing on television and speaking out publicly, pointing out—with the calm, steady patience of someone used to explaining things to people who aren't listening—that a tax system taking more than 100% of a person's earnings wasn't progressive. It was absurd. That September, Sweden held its national elections. For the first time in forty-four years, the Social Democratic Party lost power. While political analysts pointed to several contributing factors, like economic stagnation and inflation, everyone acknowledged that Astrid Lindgren’s tax revolt had fundamentally shifted the national conversation. She had made it safe to question a system that once seemed untouchable, giving a voice to frustrations millions of people felt but hadn't known how to articulate. The new coalition government reformed the tax code, cutting the most extreme rates, and Astrid quietly went back to writing children's books. But she never stopped paying attention. In the 1980s, when Sweden debated a new animal protection bill, she noticed loopholes that would still allow for cruel factory farming practices. She wrote articles, lobbied politicians, and testified before Parliament well into her eighties. In 1988, Sweden passed some of the strongest animal welfare laws in the world. It was widely nicknamed "Lex Lindgren" (Lindgren's Law) because everyone knew she was the driving force behind it. Astrid Lindgren passed away in January 2002 at the age of ninety-four. Sweden honored her with a state funeral attended by the Royal Family and the prime minister, while thousands lined the streets of Stockholm. But her true legacy lives on far outside of official ceremonies. Every child in Sweden still reads her books, every debate about fair taxation still references Pomperipossa, and animal welfare advocates across Europe still look to Lex Lindgren as proof of what is possible. She never ran for office, nor did she ever build a formal political movement. She had no credentials in economics or public policy—just an extraordinary gift for storytelling. But she had spent decades writing about Pippi Longstocking, a girl who refused to follow rules that didn't make sense, stood up to bullies, and never shrank herself to make others comfortable. Astrid Lindgren simply chose to live her life exactly like the hero she created. When authorities insisted that nonsense made sense, she refused to pretend along with them. And because she spoke up, the world listened.

Kenapa wp Donit yang Adam Evan itu sepi ya? The plot is amazing, the prose is beautifully written, and the author either drew from personal life experience or did an insane amount of research because it’s genuinely that good, so so good. The story is incredibly well crafted and thoughtfully executed. Honestly, it blew my mind. It’s not every day that you come across a story where the police are portrayed as competent and actually doing their jobs properly. I’d confidently say that Adam and Evan is one of the best Donit wattpad stories I’ve read in the past two years. Huge thanks to Flo @sewarnasi for letting me know this gem existed 🥹🩷

⚡️Epstein spoke at length about Trump with the author Michael Wolff in August 2017, two years before his death. This is some of what Epstein, one of the most vile human beings in the history of mankind, said about Trump: “He’s a horrible human being. He does nasty things to his best friends, best friends’ wives, anyone who he first tries to gain their trust and uses it to do bad things to them.” One time in Atlantic City, Trump took a woman he picked up into another room, “He came out afterward and said, ‘It was great, it was great. The only thing I really like to do is fuck the wives of my best friends. That is just the best.” Epstein claimed that while Trump has friends, he was at heart a friendless man incapable of kindness. When asked how he knew this about Trump, Epstein said, “I was Donald’s closest friend for 10 years.” Then Epstein exposed how they worked together to prey on couples. He alleged that he and Trump would pick up women by combining to split them from their male companions. “We always used to go to Atlantic City to try to find girls in the casino,” he said. “And if there was a guy, I would say, ‘I’m here to invite the guy to go out to dinner.’ And he’d say, [to the woman], ‘Let me show you the casino.’ And as he walked out, he put his arm around the girl’s shoulder, and the bodyguard would walk up and Donald, whoosh, take the girl away.” Epstein also explained Trump's elaborate scheme to sleep with his friend's wives. He'd invite the friend to his office in Trump Tower and ask him about his sex life with his wife, then offer him sex with beauty pageant contestants and say, “You must have had a better fuck than your wife, tell me about it. We can, you and I can go upstairs or tomorrow, come over, there’s these girl’s coming in from Los Angeles, part of the, whatever Hawaiian Tropic contest, so come over, we can have a great time. I promise you, it’s just me and you, we can have a great time”...and Trump would do this while the wife was on speakerphone the entire time, so that he could then seduce the wives on the basis their husbands had betrayed them. Trump would use the wives’ anger to have sex with them. Epstein was a horrible man in every way. And his opinion of Trump was that Trump was a much more horrible man than himself. That speaks volumes. docs.house.gov/meetings/JU/J…

Räsänen, another author who produces similar output, describes dating apps as 'a problem for justice', arguing that the idea that we should avoid preferring attractive partners is 'philosophically compelling', and that we should 'not discriminate while dating'.

🚨WAR CRIMER🚨 🇷🇺 The Z-military correspondent complained that due to UAF drones, Russian soldiers in Donetsk «have to» disguise themselves as civilians❗ 🚨Dressing soldiers in civilian clothes and simulating the status of a civilian under the Geneva Conventions of 1949 is classified as perfidy and is a war crime❗ This Russian Z-military correspondent and volunteer Vladimir Grubnik (author of the channel "Ghost of Novorossiya") described how Ukrainian drone strikes have changed the daily life of Russian soldiers in Donetsk. According to him, to survive, it's "logical" for soldiers to disguise themselves as civilians - but the command demands the opposite. Grubnik said this on the air with blogger Maxim Kalashnikov. “It’s logical to move solely in civilian clothes, not to reveal your affiliation with the armed forces anywhere, to use civilian transport or transport disguised as civilian,” says Grubnik. According to him, any attention drawn to military objects and equipment in the drone's zone of action has become deadly. However, the military correspondent complains, "everything is done the opposite way by bureaucratic methods." In Donetsk, military police patrols have been strengthened, and raids are being conducted. Soldiers are ordered to move only in military transport - with black license plates, combat orders, and travel permits. For traveling in a car with white license plates or "not in uniform", according to him, there is a threat of confiscation of the vehicle and being sent on a raid. Earlier, a Crimean man filmed on video how a military fuel truck is being disguised as civilian. #RussiaIsATerroristState #СЛАВАУКРАЇНІ #SlavaUkraïni
