Let’s just elect this guy for president. I’m loving these. It’s nice to get everything so close together instead of months or years of info spread out www.tiktok.com/t/ZThpjuHFq/

Ambassador Bozell's message to South Africa. "When the US leads with clarity, prinical, innovation and optimism..." 😂 "... our common values, freedom, fairness, and the rule of law..." 🤣🤣 Let the gaslighting begin.

"grounded in American exceptionalism" 👀 We are going to regret letting him and his "credentials" anywhere near us.

Oh, this is fascinating! And educational. And fun! If my DeLorean time machine takes me up to 1300 I'm fine, but 1200 or earlier and I'm in trouble. And 1700 was the bomb! It should have stayed that way.

I.e. inflame racial tensions.

Adding swine flu to the list of things I absolutely never for as long as I live ever want to experience again. That thing knocks you DOWN. Today is the first time in more than a week I can vaguely recognize myself again.

Legend! 👏👏

You can't make this stuff up...

I don't really follow American sport, but why is there going to be a football match at the Bad Bunny concert on Sunday? 😜

Happening later today - please share 🇵🇸🇿🇦🇵🇸

How Human Rights Watch Killed a Report Calling Israel’s Denial of Palestinians’ Right of Return a Crime Against Humanity The Israel-Palestine director at HRW resigned over the decision to spike the report, which had been approved by HRW’s legal team. www.dropsitenews.com/p/human-righ...

Working from home today. Woke up to no electricity. Local substation vandalized. Again. No ETA. At what time is it acceptable to start eyeing the first G&T?

Fela Kuti becomes first African to get Grammys Lifetime Achievement Award www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/2/...

He got ridiculed by a black South African and he's TRIGGERED.

With Gayton McKenzie as Minister of Sports, Arts and Culture it's just one fuckup after another. Why does this 🤡still have his job? www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

Would have loved to be able to attend this.

A new space for live jazz has opened in Braamfontein (Johannesburg). 🎵🎺 "Perched 13 floors above the city, Hugh’s is intimate, considered and deeply rooted in the spirit of Hugh Masekela, without feeling like a tribute stuck in time." www.wantedonline.co.za/culture/2026...

What I find so funny is that the people who wouldn't get the Covid vaccination because of the deep state putting a tracking chip in it 🙄are now perfectly fine with this ⬇️

South Africa just declared the Israeli charge d’affaires persona on grata. He has 72 hours to leave the country.

Everyone from the BBC to the New York Times is reporting on this. I really miss the days when, for most people, the "South" in South Africa was just a vague direction indicator, and questions like "My neighbor's cousin lives in Kenya, do you know him?" were common. www.bbc.com/news/article...

And they are almost certainly *still* low by a significant amount... how many people are still buried under the rubble? How many victims have no family left to report them missing?

It is the culmination of a five-year-long investigation into an Israeli-based syndicate that operates a massive global investment and money laundering scam across several markets. www.citizen.co.za/news/south-a...

Heard in conversation today: Replacing Bovino with Homan is like shitting in your pants and changing your shirt.

Israel blocking the Palestinian committee set to administer Gaza under Trump's cease-fire proposal from entering Gaza. Is that a good sign for the plan? www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

This is the latest in a series of warnings over the increasing instrumentalization of Christianity by external actors seeking to advance political agendas that ignore the lived reality of Palestinian Christians under Israeli occupation. www.middleeastmonitor.com/20260119-jer...

Death, taxes, and America abandoning the Kurds when they're no longer useful. This agreement would most likely definitively end the Syrian Kurds' hopes for political autonomy. I know, big picture, new regional dynamics, but, man, you have to feel for these people. www.al-monitor.com/originals/20...

I hope it’s clear that this is happening at least in part because he pulled the same unhinged belligerence against Iran last year and then Venezuela, and Europe was happy to let him get away with it because they arrogantly assumed that shit was for the browns and could surely never happen to them.

South African trade union leader Zwelinzima Vavi says Ramaphosa should not to accept the credentials of the newly appointed US Ambassador Brent Bozell III. 👏And so say all of us.

Amazing stuff. We are now indulging the delusion that Trump can personally replace...I dunno, the UN Security Council, I guess? thanks to his world historical deal-making skills. Literally a "new world order" that will be decided by Trump and some hand-picked dipshits.

Apparently unpopular opinion: How Harlan Coben still gets work is beyond me.

😡Read this. This opinion piece from TIMES OF ISRAEL explains why Israel is cultivating and buying off the likes of Christian Zionist groups, Afrisol, Cape Seccessionism and many others in SA. It shows how dangerous these groups and their Zionist backers are. blogs.timesofisrael.com/africa-must-...

Dignity belongs to everyone.

If you haven't already, you simply must read this piece from LAST OCTOBER. It's all just one big theatrical production.

Another thing about Maduro capture — this isn’t the work of fools, which means serious military people, and not just trumps dumb and dumber collection of idiots — went along with this. I’m so tired of seeing media frame this as just a Trump thing - this is maybe the most American thing he’s done.

It is the fact that we will not know these Venezuelans names or stories beyond the president and his wife who were kidnapped. That they are talked about as pawns in a global story by us all.

"South Africa views these actions as a manifest violation of the Charter of the United Nations, which mandates that all Member States refrain from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state." dirco.gov.za/south-africa...

...here is no connection between democratically elected governments and the will of the people. It’s ended. So, the whole charade of Western liberal democracy is as much of a corpse under the rubble as the tens of thousands of Palestinians."

The putrid delusion of the "Western rules-based international order" is disintegrating. Finally.

"Instead, South Africa is moving toward a hybrid arrangement that preserves Eskom’s ownership of the grid, strips the new TSO of transmission assets and risks recreating precisely the conflicts of interest the reform agenda was meant to eliminate." 😡 www.businessday.co.za/opinion/2025...
