“We Found Love” was a bit because of who was singing it.

Mark Zuckerberg just described the death of human connection on the internet and no one flinched. One sentence. Fifteen years of erosion in twelve words. Mark Zuckerberg: “Social media started out as people primarily interacting with their friends. And now… at least half of the content is basically people interacting with creators.” You used to open your phone to see what your friends were doing. Now you open it to watch strangers. You did not choose this. The algorithm chose it for you. It tested your friends against optimized strangers. Your friends lost. Every time. A stranger with better lighting, better timing, and a better hook held your attention three seconds longer than someone who loves you. So the algorithm buried your best friend’s wedding photos under a cooking video from someone in Dubai you have never met. And you watched the cooking video. That was the first replacement. Friends for strangers. You barely noticed. The second one is already underway. If the algorithm already proved strangers outperform your real relationships, and AI can now build a stranger more engaging than any human alive, the math finishes itself. The AI does not have a bad week. It does not post something careless and lose the algorithm’s favor. It does not burn out. Every word calibrated. Every frame tuned. Every pause placed at the exact interval that keeps your thumb from moving. A human creator competing against that is carving stone tablets in a world that just built the printing press. The economics are not even close. A person needs rent, sleep, and motivation. The machine needs electricity. When the cost of generating perfect content hits zero, the feed fills with faces that do not exist. Voices that feel familiar. Opinions that mirror yours just enough to feel like trust. Personalities built from scratch to feel like someone you have known for years. You will not know when the switch happens. That is the point. The feed does not care whether the thing holding your attention has a pulse. It cares whether you stay. And a machine that knows your patterns better than you know yourself will always keep you longer than a person ever could. This is not a warning. Half of it already happened. You lost your friends to strangers and did not notice. You will lose the strangers to machines and call them friends. Somewhere in a different app, in a different tab, in a room you are sitting in right now, someone who actually knows you is living a moment you will never see. Not because they stopped sharing it. Because you stopped being where it was.

This is the final footage made public of the singer Aretha Franklin before her death in 2018, recorded by her granddaughter with an old camera.

I won't believe reports that Trump has been hospitalized until this guy tweets it

This Lamar Odom doc confirmed something I’ve always thought. The men that date the kardashians are just as obsessed with fame as the women. In fact they target them for their fame & this goes for Lamar, tyga, Travis, and Kanye.

It’s not. It remains an NQF level 9 degree. It literally means you have MASTERED. A subject matter or topic. It’s not remotely close to a bachelors🙏🏾

A truly historic moment for Team SA. 🇿🇦 Puseletso Mabote has delivered an outstanding performance in the T63 400m, setting a new world record time of 1:00.74. #TeamSA #ForMyCountry

@Tebogo_ZA @MsThatoM Hhmmm

@MsThatoM Eya.

@B____D___ @KhomotsoKD I only started it in Jan and I’m happy with the progress

@MsMolobi @KhomotsoKD NOW you have my attention

Show me your stomach before I believe

@B____D___ @KhomotsoKD It will also firm up your legs nicely. It has reduced the visibility of my cellulite

@KhomotsoKD Ok ok. I’ve never used it and will try now

@B____D___ 😂😂😂😂

There was no black revolution. There were many black people in town. Is the revolution coming to groove in a predominately white place?

@Ms_Onesimo Who wrote this?

Few artists carry the legacy of South African jazz like Abdullah Ibrahim. A composer whose music has travelled the world. What an honour to have him join us tonight.

Jacob Collier’s performance, he owes us nothing #CTJF

Being a gym goer is a lifestyle, you either like it or you don’t

It’s always the previous administration’s fault

@B____D___ I saw one of your tweets at 2am and planned to tell you they always have a 50% sale at Fourways crossing

I needed a new medium size suitcase and I found a large one at Samsonite going for 50% off. Is it too much? Yes but I gotta do it 🤣
