If I can’t own what I buy online, why shouldn’t piracy be a real option?

This week, I was late with my this week's Substack because I was working on alkags.agency/curious/unga81 - my detailed review of #UNGA81, which is too much to fit in one Substack post. Hopefully people here will find it useful. Substack this week for a summary: akags.substack.com/p/unga81-…
In my Substack this week, I wonder if, 81 years on, it is time for the world to begin discussing what replaces the @UN #UNGA81

@SafaricomPLC how about protecting your customers by ensuring any the first opt in to received these messages?
Currently when one pays by Mpesa on any outlet and starts getting their promo messages...its annoying.

Amidst this nationwide power blackout, I can’t help but think of hospitals without generators. Perhaps there are lives that have been lost or doctors unable to perform surgeries.
I hope @edwinsifuna will continue to transend tribal kingpinship as he started out so that he represents everyone.
So these speed limits don’t make sense though. 80kph on the Nairobi expressway? 50kph on Thika road? What happened to the highway 110kph? There is such a thing as too slow also.
Who do we appeal to/ reason with? @ntsa_kenya

We don't just need more health data, we need data we can trust.
In Kenya's health systems, the difference between a true zero and a missing value can mean the difference between detecting an outbreak early and missing it entirely.
Better health outcomes start with better data quality, not just better technology.

🚨 SHOCKING: A video of a Mijikenda woman carrying what appears to be a python is going viral.
In the clip, she is seen talking to the snake, telling it that it had shamed her.
The footage has sparked intense debate online, with some claiming it's witchcraft, while others insist there's a different explanation.
One of the strangest videos you'll watch today.. Video on the right.
I just watched @ntvkenya’s #OlKalouCrimeScene.
Si these goons are Kenyans? With families and friends and neighbours? Shouldnt citizens unveil their names and locations? Also why would media houses be better than police at investigating?
