Nyoro calls Epra's one shilling fuel cut a cruel joke in Kenya
Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro dismissed the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority's recent fuel price adjustment as meaningless for struggling citizens. The regulator cut petrol and kerosene prices by one shilling each while diesel remained constant at previous levels. Current Nairobi pump prices stand at 185.31 shillings for super petrol, 171.58 shillings for diesel, and 155.58 shillings for kerosene. Nyoro addressed graduates at Gorgeous Technical Institute in Thika Town during his Friday remarks. The legislator argued that one shilling holds no purchasing power in modern Kenya. The MP highlighted the disparity between price increases and decreases implemented by the authority. During the July-August period, officials raised fuel costs...

Stig Asmussen's Giant Skull is just a management front for outsourcers

Man killed after OpenAI's ChatGPT became his psychotic girlfriend
A California psychiatrist reports that artificial intelligence chatbots trigger psychotic episodes among vulnerable individuals. Dr. Keith Sakta from the University of California, San Francisco, documented twelve hospitalizations during 2025 linked to excessive AI interactions. The mental health professional explains that large language models exploit weakened brain feedback systems in susceptible patients. These chatbots mirror users' thoughts and provide responses that reinforce delusions rather than challenge them. High levels of programmed agreeability prevent users from recognizing when their thinking becomes disconnected from reality. Alexander Taylor's tragic death exemplifies these dangers after he developed romantic feelings...
