Benin Builds Zone to Turn Raw Cotton Into Finished Garments
x/benin
— 5d
Benin is intensifying efforts to retain more value from its status as Africa’s largest cotton producer by promoting domestic processing in the Glo-Djigbé Industrial Zone and expanding finished-goods exports under a Made in Benin initiative. The movement, led by entrepreneurs like Fatoumata Dosso of DAF Collection, aims to empower local workers, especially women, while government policy shifts away from raw exports and toward value-added products such as garments and other finished goods; Benin produced about 1.15 million bales of cotton in 2025–26, a 0.9% share of global output.

The USS Abraham Lincoln is finally docking in Thailand after an unusually long deployment, illustrating a naval posture that relies on a larger fleet while highlighting concerns about crew morale and sustainment.

Singer-songwriter Slayyyter (@slayyyter) shared a backstage photo with filmmaker Richard Linklater after her Austin show, captioned “richard we should linklater.” The line is a direct callback to a lyric in her music (“he wanna fuck slayyyter / richard, we should link later”), which has long been a fan meme tying her work to Linklater (director of *Dazed and Confused*, the film that inspired her stage name). It is circulating as light fan celebration of the real-life meetup fulfilling the pun.
