Billions of dollars in public funds stolen over the past decade in massive govt corruption in South Sudan while the vast majority of the country suffers food insecurity. Also $1.7Bn unaccounted for from the oil-for-roads program, which has resulted in 95% of required roads remaining unbuilt.

I wish this platform wasn’t so US-centric. Dare I say it.

If the fossil fuel industry didn’t have our president and corporate America by the throat, we could have nice things like this too.

"All artists will being using Al in the future, and all art will be Al" I'm watching Safiya's video right now and this guy named George is drawing a cat in chocolate on latte foam. So like. Go fuck yourself.

How the hell can return to work policies be equated with improved employment rates (do these journalists not read any research!!?)

This would explain a lot.

Plettenburg Bay is the ultimate wealthy and elite hideaway in SA which is why I won’t read the whole article because I’m sure they’re not going to mention that 😂

“.. small businesses will have to pay an extra $202 billion a year on tariffs, which works out to about $856,000 per company ..” @opinion.bloomberg.com www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

Elon Musk’s satellite internet service is losing users in Kenya. Could this signal trouble for the ISP’s delayed arrival in South Africa?

I have found everything I need! I have given up everything I can do without! Every day I throw off something that weighs down my soul and burdens me and I realise that I am becoming a little freer every day.

We often become enslaved to meaningless crap. If you escape this endless toil, your freedom will disturb people. Fact. Many people believe they OWN your time and energy and how dare you think you can escape when they cannot. Truth is, this is your life. Live it. #writingcommunity #booksky #writing

I got a marketing call from the DA today 😂. How did they get my number!?

For those of you using Instagram, I’d recommend turning off location services (via phone settings and Instagram settings) - they’ve copied Snapchat and added in a map function so you can see exactly where all your friends are at any time 🥴

The prestigious appointment to Astronomer Royal will enable Professor Dougherty to inform on the fascinating world of astronomy.

He’s turning the White House into his garish 1980s-style Florida club.

Craft is saving me ngl 😅. If you need some hope and distraction start your damn hobby instead of staring at your screen 🫶

Grocery stores that have been eating the cost of tariffs are about to pump the brakes. Some are looking to be more transparent about the coming price hikes. Starting tomorrow, new tariffs of 15% to 50% hit a wide range of food items. If you’ve got a household food budget, this is a must-watch.

Always remember whose fault this really is. Mark Burnett. The guy who created the TV myth of the “successful businessman who said “You’re fired” & is very strong.” Complete fiction. Created a monster. The power of media.

Analysis: Four men are richer than half of all other Africans combined. Taxing them more feels like a no-brainer – but a lot needs to be fixed before that would truly address wealth inequality.

Shows like “The Bear” and “The Pitt” have taken hold of viewers and critics despite—or perhaps because of—how stressful they can be to watch, @shirklesxp.bsky.social argues.

I binge-watched The Pitt & the character Dr Santos reminds me of the time I observed a similar type of person come into an organisation & work the system cleverly in order to ultimately promote themselves.A complex smart character who is good at self-preservation by manipulating power & narratives.

A British crow is asking passersby if they're alright.

Funny how it’s so complicated to return them…Note that Dati is of African descent: A bill to make it easier for France to return cultural objects taken during the colonial period was presented at a ministerial council in Paris this week by Culture Minister Rachida Dati. www.rfi.fr/en/africa/20...

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%.  Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

Ghislaine Maxwell wasn’t just a pimp—she’s almost certainly an espionage agent. She was a protege of her father, Robert Maxwell, who has been called “Israel’s Superspy” and whose funeral was attended by at least 6 serving and former heads of Israeli intelligence. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019...
