I met @JeffDean on the pitch over a decade ago. We played against each other for years, I only knew him as Jeff, the fast winger I always had to mark. One night he took a hard pass to the head and went down to the ground. I ran over and started doing concussion protocol through a series of questions. When I asked him to tell me the name of his manager, he replied, "@sundarpichai ". I looked at my friend and said, "Jeff has a concussion, he just told me his manager is Sundar". My friend smiled and replied, "Dude, that's Jeff Dean".
Nice! Congrats! And it is true, @ceo_clickhouse is indeed a true football/soccer lover and player: he and I face off against each other regularly in the soccer league we play in!
I've been to a game at the renovated Craven Cottage and it is quite nice!
This is mind blowing! 🙌🏾
India is ONE grandmaster away from 100.
And here's the incredible part every GM India has ever produced, from Vishy Anand (#1, 1988) to #99, is still alive.
That means one photograph is possible: all 100 Indian GMs in a single frame. First time in chess history any country could do this.
@NikonIndia @Canon_India @Sony_India — this is your Solvay Conference moment. One image that gets reprinted for the next 100 years.
Someone should def plan this, it can become a event to celebrate the growth of indian chess.

I am heartbroken. I am outraged. And I am ashamed of what we have become as a nation.
Boniface Mwangi Kariuki was a young, hardworking Kenyan whose only "crime" was trying to survive with dignity in a country that has failed its people. He wasn’t protesting. He wasn’t armed. He posed no threat. He was simply selling masks.
Had his killing not been caught on video, the state would have lied, again. They would have framed it as justified force. But this time, the truth exposed their cruelty.
I condemn, in the strongest terms, the extrajudicial execution of Boniface Kariuki and the growing pattern of police killings, abductions, and systemic cover-ups. These are not isolated incidents, they are the rotten fruit of a broken system that continues to betray our Constitution, our laws, and our shared humanity.
My sincere condolences to Boniface’s family. His life mattered. His blood demands justice. We will not forget. We will not forgive.

Scandals have made us lose sense of how much a billion is.
To finish Kshs1 billion, you would need to spend 100,000/- every day for more than 27 years.

Travel bans against South Africa are the exact opposite of what countries should be doing. They are punishing exemplary work for no benefit.
