A few days in Gent for the Jazz Fest and as we walk around will be thinking about the phenomenonal @baloji.bsky.social set last night & especially when they said this: "half this beautiful city of Gent was built on the blood of the Congo"🇨🇩🇧🇪

Stephane Fontaine work on Conclave is spectacular… the editing smooth and nicely structured, again clip culture influence.

2/2 What’s happening is a violation of a country’s territorial sovereignty because its army and security are failing. The irony of life is that I’m doing my first Masterclass with an incredible community of Brazilian artists, they’re celebrating Congolese creation on the same equator line.

While a militia, funded and directed by Rwandese government invade Goma… I’m in Sao Paolo receiving the ICON award at the almighty MVF awards.
🇨🇩I see “No Congo, No phone” everywhere, but the Rwandan, Ugandan authorities have already been exploiting Congolese mining resources for the past 15 years.

Im in love.

REPORTER: How confident are you that you can keep the ceasefire in Gaza?

TRUMP: I'm not confident. That's not our war. It's their war ... Gaza is interesting. It's a phenomenal location.

Everything is great about this one.
