Techno was created by a Black American named Juan Atkins from Detroit. Techno was NOT created in Berlin like many seem to think. RIP to this phenomenal Pioneer!
Rest in Peace Juan Atkins “the godfather of techno.” His unconventional sounds became the blueprint for an entire new genre of music, influencing generations of producers, DJs and record labels, like ours.
“I don’t know how you can love music and be close-minded... Life would be boring if you just adhered to the same protocol every day, so there are guys like me out there championing the cause for different and alternative ways of life and listening to music.” Juan Atkins

Mobutu Sese Seko’s rumble in the jungle fight between Ali and Foreman benefitted everyone except Zaire, now DRC. Over 12m$ wasted on the event fueled the country’s economic decline. The revenue went out of Zaire. This is the part of history that is rarely given.

I am so frustrated with the patient experience at @AKUHNairobi Valley arcade. I was going to complain about my experience but went to google reviews and for the last 9 years people have the same complaints. Especially about a particularly mean,clearly indispensable receptionist!

🚨 ATTENTION! People are mistranslating what I said!
I NEVER said people should block far-right accounts. I said they should IGNORE THEIR POSTS!
Blocking actually works against this strategy because the algorithm will understand that you didn’t see the content simply because you blocked the account.
However, when a post appears in your feed and you ignore it, you don’t read it, don’t like it, don’t comment on it, or engage with it in any way , the algorithm will interpret that content as irrelevant because it was shown to you and you chose not to engage with it!
THERE IS A HUGE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BLOCKING CONTENT AND IGNORING IT!
