Kenyans rekindle Memories of the Founder of the Hustler Movement, Larry Flynt, on his Burial Day

Kenyans turned to twitter in expressing their opinions over the life and achievements of Larry Flynt dubbed as the ‘Chief Hustler.’ Flynt died on Februray 10, 2021 and buried on February 20, 2021, was a founder of the Hustler Magazine that published pornographic content.
Curious Kenyans dug into Flynt’s past due to the ongoing narrative peddled by deputy president William Ruto, who regards himself as the ‘Chief Hustler’, in his bid to succeed President Uhuru Kenyatta. Ruto believes that it’s the time for the ‘hustlers’ to lead Kenya, thus creating a wedge between him with Uhuru Kenyatta, Gideon Moi and Raila Odinga.
Flynt minted billions by publishing and selling nude images. According to Wikipedia, Flynt was the CEO of Larry Flynt Publications that produced pornographic magazines like the Hustler and pornographic videos.in 2003 he was listed as the most influential people in ‘porn’ list by the Arena Magazine.
He was once accused for degrading women. Flynt sustained serious injuries in 1978 after an assassination plot by serial killer Joseph Paul Franklin. 
Reports indicate that Flynt once contested for the US presidential race in 1984 as a Republican using the ‘Hustler narrative’ but was defeated. Kenyans expressed varied reactions on social media pressing for the commemoration of Flynt, with the hash tag #RIPHasla going viral on twitter.
One twitter user wrote: “I think Kenya should hold a parallel requiem mass to commemorate the life and achievements of the founder of the Hustler movement; Larry Flynt.”

Neurolink has already partnered with top Spanish scientists and US Santa Barbara to make a device called Blindsight, a smart Bionic Eye powered by brain implants and AI. Blindsight got the approval of the US Food and Drug Adminstration (FDA), though there have been no human trials. Musk confided that Neurolink will perform its first human implant of Blindsight at the course of 2025. Will Neurolink's Blindsight allow Blind People to see? Blindsight is designed to enable people with total visual impairment, as a result of damaged optic nerve but with intact visual cortex, to see.

The president has found himself in a political quagmire over his public expose on rampant graft in parliament. Legislators drawn from the National Assembly and the Senate were astounded by the manner in which the Head of State exposed their nakedness in the public gallery, instead of initiating prosecution process with the relevant mandated authorities. Majority of MPs were of the opinion that the president should have prosecuted his case with the relevant bodies established by the Constitution tasked to deal with corruption cases. National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetangula and his Senate counterpart Amazon Kingi have been directed by a section of MPs to summon the president to shed more light over his aspersions or risk being impeached. Homa Bay Senator Moses Kajwang' and his Nairobi colleague Edwin Sifuna were irritated by what they...
