Formation lap. #BahrainGP #ForzaFerrari #F1

Lights out!!! #BahrainGP #ForzaFerrari #F1

Lap 6. Lec leads. Sai P3 looks like he's struggling to hang on to Ver and he's being hussled by Ham. #BahrainGP #ForzaFerrari #F1

Lap 11. Lec's lead is 3s. Sai is another 5s behind. Per has Jumped Ham to take back P4. #BahrainGP #ForzaFerrari #F1

Lap 21. Lec survives undercut and a few laps of heart-stopping attack by Ver but now leads by nearly 2s after first round of stops. Sai is nearly 8s behind being chased by Per. #BahrainGP #ForzaFerrari #F1

Lap 25. Lec is now 3.3s ahead of Ver. That Scud has real pace. Per is almost on Sai who's complaining about tyre degradation. Mercs are very much a mid-tier (or more accurately mid-tear) team! McLemons are racing at the back. #BahrainGP #ForzaFerrari #F1

Lap 31. Ver pits. Will he try the undercut again at the second round of stops? It looks particularly powerful. Scuds have to prep for that. #BahrainGP #ForzaFerrari #F1

Lap 33. Lec pits and comes out over 1s ahead of a frustrated Ver. Lead now over 2s. Looking good. Sai doing well to keep Per behind. A double podium beckons. #BahrainGP #ForzaFerrari #F1

Lap 41. Lec's lead is back up to nearly 4s. Sai is 2s ahead of Per, who has the faster tyre, with 17 laps to go. #BahrainGP #ForzaFerrari #F1

Lap 46. Safety Cat mixes stuff up a bit. Lec pits and retains the lead but has to do it all over again. Hopefully Sai can both outrun Per and keep Ver busy at the restart. #BahrainGP #ForzaFerrari #F1

Lap 51. And we're racing!!! #BahrainGP #ForzaFerrari #F1

Lap 53. Sai does his job and keeps Ver busy as Lec takes off. 2s ahead. #BahrainGP #ForzaFerrari #F1

Lap 56. YESSSSSS!!!! Scuds running 1-2 as Ver retires. Per and Han fighting over the final podium place. #BahrainGP #ForzaFerrari #F1

Lec wins. Sai. Ham. Rus. Mag. Bot. Oco. Tsu. Also. Zho. #BahrainGP #ForzaFerrari #F1

This is a fantastic start to the season!!!! That was a dominant performance. Even before their issues, the RBs were struggling to keep up. Great portent for the upcoming races.

A worrying thing though, if this season ends up being Scuds vs Max, is the history. When he has interfered with our races, we have always come off worst.

Question: What work does the word "conflict" do? I've used it somewhat tongue-in-cheek ("ethnic conflict") but it does convey the wrong impression. Just as it is misleading to speak of a Middle East "conflict" when one side steals the land and oppresses the people of another.

https://twitter.com/CyrilRamaphosa/status/1501970614646714374

"Conflict" implies competing legitimacies that need to be resolved. But there is no justifying either the Russian invasion or the Apartheid Israel occupation (and no, that's not bothsideism or whatabouttery). The solution is clear in both cases. The aggressor should withdraw.

One can accept that both Russia and Apartheid Israel can have legitimate security concerns without justifying either brutal invasion or murderous occupation (just as one need not believe in the pristineness of either Palestinians or Ukrainians to acknowledge their oppression).

@NationAfrica

Anyone with a copy of this bill? Does it actually say it is illegal to report results from the polling station and constituency tallying stations which are final and should by law be displayed publicly? This from @NationAfrica doesn't actually say.
nation.africa/kenya/news/pol…

@IEBCKenya

From my reading, the amendment removes from @IEBCKenya the obligation to stream "statistics" as in 2017. While that poses transparency and credibility issues, it doesn't actually stop media from independently reporting results directly from polling stations or tallying centres.

@IEBCKenya

In fact, what we need is a firm commitment from media to reporting results and calling the election independently and not relying on the @IEBCKenya "statistics". Those results are publicly announced and displayed at polling stations and tallying centres.

Question: How many people have been prosecuted for Apartheid-era abuses in South Africa? Or are they getting a free pass like the brutal and murderous British colonials in Kenya? Have any victims received compensation?
aljazeera.com/opinions/2021/…

Remember 100-year-old former guards at WW2 concentration camps are still being hunted and prosecuted, and Germany continues to pay compensation to Holocaust survivors. Haiti was forced to compensate French slave owners and Kenya paid to get back stolen land from British settlers.

Yet when the prospect of justice for historical crimes odieros have committed against miros, suddenly someone will suggest it is living in the past, asking for handouts, and we should let bygones be bygones. Sorry, but I am not boarding.
