Accidentally shuffled on to this song in my archive. It's from 1987 and sums up exactly how I feel right now. Save me, save me from tomorrow. I don't want to sail with this ship of fools. youtu.be/ZHh0V7UjVXI

That's slower than all the finalists at the Paris Olympics. It's slower than his own drug free PB.

@Beckensmither33 @TakethatCt It's because you're such a massive cunt trying to spread misinformation.

@TakethatCt Why can't YOU just be nice when correcting people? When your MO is humiliate/shame, the "lesson" you're trying to provide is meaningless. So why bother 🤷 If you weren't such a dick I might pay you attention but no one listens to a dick 🤦 Not a dick👇 x.com/i/status/20589…

#COVID 🔥 RAPID ANTIGEN TEST A PLANDEMIC IN TOO MANY WAYS TO COUNT

@BrendanSeery1 Yeah. I'd have declared.

@Arfness Hmmmm. Looks like you weren't there.

Ok. This is not what I meant about crisis comms. Also, @BrendanSeery1, shouldn't this be marked as advertorial? citizen.co.za/business/thirs…

@BrendanSeery1 Hmmmmm. It looks like the opinion of Woolworths's PR company along with the fact sheet that they supplied.

@Arfness It should be marked as another supplier's opinion - someone who holds an opposite view of what the others are saying. It's called balance.

@naledimashishi This weird idea that nobody could read 30 books in a year is so strange. It's fewer than a book a week.

Idk this sounds like cope. You do NOT need to skip everything except dialogue to reach 30 books a year. That’s 2-3 books a month

@christodangler @longer100 @EuropeanNick @StuartShrugged @SimonCalder You're a fucking idiot, Starmer might be an idiot too, but the the fuckup is because of Brexit.

@Arfness @longer100 @EuropeanNick @StuartShrugged @SimonCalder You particularly, should have stopped at "think". Liar Two-Tier Sturmer dynamically aligned with certain EU standards, a deal aimed at fixing queuing at gates. The liar Starmer, talking up, and quoted as saying "Brits would sail through". Go back to sleep yah firkin trogladyte

EU entry-exit system. The EES was never intended to contend with the British. Most of the “third-country nationals” crossing Schengen frontiers are from the UK. We add too much pressure in too many inadequate border locations. Europe must pause and reflect independent.co.uk/travel/news-an…

@vlok_andre If you know your audience, the requirement for a coherent argument seems optional.

@Arfness He seems remarkably popular in certain circles. I have never understood this - the little I have read of his work is derivative, often a string of non-sequiturs dressed up as analysis

A truly bizarre take, across a range of assertions

@KleinDoina @LeftyWinter A very special kind of moron? But able to spell "waste".

@LeftyWinter Man, whoever waists one second listening to this imbecile, THAT ONE IS A VERY SPECIAL KIND OF MORON

Mamdani: "Of the Margret Thatcher quote, the problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money. If anything my friends, it seems you eventually need a socialist to clean up the mess."

@longer100 @EuropeanNick @StuartShrugged @SimonCalder I think you need to look up the meaning of "consequence".

@EuropeanNick @StuartShrugged @SimonCalder It's a consequence of brexit not caused by it. That's down to a poorly executed and disjointed introduction of an already outdated entry exit system. As we allow EU nations to use Egate type systems, the EU could do the same with us but choose not to.

The Monetary Policy Committee meets this week to see if they can bring inflation down by making people poorer, despite that inflation being driven by external things like fuel prices and global instability and not the money supply. Surgery successful, patient deceased.

@vlok_andre Twelve years ago, I'm not sure any "intellectual" should have survived this savaging. africasacountry.com/2014/09/know-y…

@Arfness I've read three or four of his pieces through the years, and thought them fair enough, but this...where to begin

@g_tone_ @vlok_andre it's the same idiots that came up with "the rational standard".

@Arfness @vlok_andre They really didn't think it through when they cam up with the name...

@kgoshigadi_lebo Brand sentiment is a fickle thing.

@Arfness They know that their customers don't care that's why they're not doing anything about any of these accusations. They are extremely arrogant and this was evidenced by the first statement that they released regarding Beyers chocolates.🚮

You'd think that Woolies would have fairly robust crisis communications plans in place, it isn't evidenced with the reporting on Beyers chocolates and Grey's seafood. In addition, a couple of names keep coming up. This could get ugly for the brand.

@TyaliSiya It's Israeli pressure.

Ghanaian government is acting in bad faith on this immigration issue.

@vlok_andre I like the way Grok thinks that you need to bothsides the unification argument. Because that's how it is trained.

/ And if the 8000 word essay is a bit much 😉 you can just read Grok's review of it at x.com/i/grok/share/8…

CHINA/TAIWAN CONFLICT President Trump's recent visit to China has brought forward again the highly contentious issue of the China/Taiwan conflict. What are the various legal, political and moral issues at stake? What are the chances of China attacking Taiwan, and if so, when? Are there other options available to resolve this situation? What is the US position on this, and what should their response be now, and if China attacks? What are the consequences of these conflict variables for the rest of the world, including South Africa? We do a comprehensive assessment of this geopolitical minefield in my next article, due for publication next week

You don't want to have too many assassination attempts or people might become desensitized to them like mass shootings.

The guy working at the gas station wasn’t even focused on pumping gas — he was too busy carefully removing a thorn from a stray dog’s paw by the roadside. The puppy’s eyes and facial expression were both pitiful and hilariously adorable at the same time 😅💗
