@DropAPinShow Not one african country made the list? Not even ahead of China? I call BS.

What country has the largest average breast size?

@WesternPulse88 I gathered as much. I should have asked where I can find this original footage? Do you have a link?

@Grantslab Cape Flats, Western Cape. Most probably Mitchells plain or Delft.

This incorruptible unit arrests a killer only to see their chief release him - Cape Town Metro Police. TO MY AMERICAN FRIENDS. THIS IS LAW IN SA. RELEASE THE KILLERS!!! Even WHEN EYEWITNESS TOLD THE TRUTH!!

@Jacobsklug OS

I built a Claude Cowork OS that replaces OpenClaw and runs on autopilot. Manages my business & personal life tasks. I created the whole playbook so you can re-build it tonight. What's inside: • The exact foundation prompt • 3 level orchestration map • Memory template for global context • Routing table for file management • Starter workstations (finance, content, community, habits) • Project file structure • Single prompt that builds the entire folder tree Follow + Comment 'OS' and follow. I'll DM it to you.

If you live in South Africa, you need to read this. Your family might be in danger. The South African government wants to hand criminals a comprehensive shopping list of every citizen who owns Bitcoin, gold, or other valuable assets. This is not hyperbole. This is not paranoia about government overreach. This is what happens when bureaucrats create centralized databases of wealth while operating cybersecurity systems that cannot protect government servers from ransomware attacks, insider leaks, and just plain old corruption. France provides the blueprint for disaster. So far in 2026, French criminals kidnap one crypto holder every two and a half days. Forty-one cases this year alone. One hundred and thirty-five incidents since 2023. The victims include an eleven-year-old boy kidnapped with his mother in Burgundy while criminals demanded four hundred thousand euros from the father's crypto holdings. David Balland, co-founder of hardware wallet company Ledger, lost a finger when kidnappers severed it and sent it to his associates as part of their ransom demand. How do French criminals select their targets? Government data leaks. A French tax official used government systems to identify wealthy crypto holders and sold that information directly to criminal networks. She worked inside the system designed to protect citizens and instead fed their personal data to the people who showed up at their homes with knives and demands for Bitcoin transfers. Waltio, a French software company providing tax services, was hacked and exposed fifty thousand users' portfolio information on dark web marketplaces. Government employees selling data represents something far worse than mere cybersecurity incompetence. It reveals the inherent corruption that emerges when governments collect detailed wealth information about their citizens. Pavel Durov warns that expanding government data collection on crypto holders expands the pool of kidnapping targets. Telegram's founder said the platform would rather exit the French market than hand private user data to French authorities. South Africa's cybersecurity record makes France look competent by comparison. Hackers put 3.6 million Gauteng Provincial Government files up for sale on the dark web for twenty-five thousand dollars. Statistics South Africa suffered a breach in January 2026. Cell C leaked two terabytes of data belonging to 7.7 million customers. The Department of Justice lost control of over 1,200 confidential files in a ransomware attack that crippled systems for weeks. These same people now demand that every South African declare their Bitcoin, gold, and alternative asset holdings within thirty days. Name, ID number, portfolio amounts. All stored in government databases operated by the same institutions that cannot even secure their own local servers. The regulations extend beyond Bitcoin. Gold holders face the same mandatory disclosure requirements. Alternative investments fall under identical rules. The government wants comprehensive records of every citizen who owns assets outside the traditional banking system. Free market economists understand why governments crave this information. Capital controls require detailed knowledge of citizen wealth. Currency restrictions need enforcement mechanisms. Confiscation demands target lists. But the immediate threat comes from criminals. French kidnappers prove that government wealth databases become criminal targeting systems. The data will leak. Government employees will sell access. Hackers will breach the servers. South African criminals will adapt French tactics to local conditions. Home invasions already plague wealthy neighborhoods. Adding detailed cryptocurrency and gold holdings data transforms random crime into precision targeting. Why rob houses blindly when government databases provide exact wealth information and home addresses? The regulatory framework creates perverse incentives for corruption. Tax officials gain access to detailed wealth information about every compliant citizen. The temptation to monetize this data through criminal networks will prove irresistible for some percentage of government employees. France shows this corruption is inevitable, not theoretical. Compliance rewards criminals while punishment awaits honest citizens. Those who declare their holdings create detailed target lists for kidnappers. Those who refuse face government penalties. The regulations trap law-abiding citizens between criminal violence and state punishment. The solution involves rejecting the entire framework. No government database. No mandatory declarations. No centralized records of citizen wealth in Bitcoin, gold, or alternative assets. The French kidnapping epidemic demonstrates exactly why financial privacy matters for physical safety. South African crypto holders should study French headlines carefully. Today's regulatory compliance becomes tomorrow's kidnapping victim list. The government promises protection while operating systems that guarantee data breaches. Act now, or your family will be in danger. mybroadband.co.za/news/security/…

@AlchemyAmerican Those are some seriously independent eyebrows

In light of today’s revelations around Apollo 17 interacting with UFOs, here’s Japanese NASA historian Takano Jousen: He was close with astronaut Eugene Cernan who told him during the mission, aliens gave him a message never to return to the moon - that’s why they stopped at 17

@theblaze Everybody agrees, right? This makes makes no literal sense. Right? Surely we can agree on this.

AOC says it’s impossible to earn $1 Billion Dollars as she tries to give a lesson on economics: “You can’t earn a billion dollars. You just can’t earn that. You have to create a myth of earning it since you didn’t earn that.”

@AngelaM_P_2012 @cybertruck @elonmusk I kinda agree. But are people buying a truck? An suv? Or a cybertruck? They are obviously not the same things. One of them is a new category with no competition. Or at least very little.

@cybertruck @elonmusk If only it were PRACTICAL for its target demographic. It is not feasible as a TRUCK to haul things e.g. large round bail of hay, soil, bark, fridge... Its not comfortable for hauling a bunch of people or kids like an SUV. Either make it more TRUCK-Y, or make it more of an SUV!

@eNCA Where? Just hand waves?

[EXPLAINED] South African Weather Service has forecasted prolonged and disruptive rainfall with totals of 100 to 200mm. This is not just light rain, but rather heavy downpours directly onto the ground and is not absorbed fast enough. In some areas, it can build up to just above ankle height. #eNCA breaks down the numbers for you here: enca.com/news/heavy-rai…

@icreatelife No, I mean ...

@jordan_ross_8F Hermes

Ad & SEO agencies can add 5-10 clients without making a single hire by rolling out hermes to their agency. The problem is most agency owners don't have time to figure out how to install it, where to start, or what to actually hand it first. So my team built an 83-page playbook that does it for you. Inside: — The 5 daily prompts that turn it into a second brain — Plain English setup for Mac, Linux, and Android — How to lock it down without torching client data — 8 copy-paste workflows across reporting, outreach, sales, and ops — The cron trick that drops token spend by 90% 10 new clients at 5k/mo= 50k/mo in new profit just from this one tool. Comment HERMES and I'll send it.

@stchouse100 Jeesh. Knysna being hammered too.

Check the storm surge in Plett. Beacon Isle Hotel is an island again.

@WTSmith17 Perfect ending.

Brian Shapiro brought in the best expert he could find to educate me on racism. He was a nice guy, but this backfired so badly, I haven’t heard from them since.

@YogiYogui @jeanpire33 Source: trust me bro

@jeanpire33 Vous auriez une source ? Si c'est vrai, ça devrait faire les gros titres ... 🤔

"Nous n’achèterons plus d’armes américaines ", a déclaré le dirigeant de facto de l’Arabie saoudite, le prince héritier Mohammed ben Salmane, en réponse au dirigeant par intérim des États-Unis. "Jusqu’à présent, l’argent qui coulait dans le complexe militaro-industriel américain n’était pas seulement une affaire commerciale. C’était, en réalité, un rituel de loyauté. Nous n’achetions pas seulement des systèmes de missiles — nous achetions le droit d’appartenir. À partir d’aujourd’hui, c’est terminé. " C’est ainsi que le prince héritier a répondu aux remarques insultantes proférées à son encontre par l’idiot Trump.

@zan2434 @eddiejiao_obj @drewocarr Incredible work guys. Well done. Following to see where this goes

Imagine every pixel on your screen, streamed live directly from a model. No HTML, no layout engine, no code. Just exactly what you want to see. @eddiejiao_obj, @drewocarr and I built a prototype to see how this could actually work, and set out to make it real. We're calling it Flipbook. (1/5)

@Pontifex This guy. Wow.

Communion between Christians and Muslims takes shape under the mantle of Our Lady of Africa. Here, in #Algeria, the maternal love of Lalla Meryem gathers everyone as children, within our rich diversity, in our shared aspiration for dignity, love, justice, and peace. In a world where division and wars sow pain and death, living in unity and peace is a compelling sign. #ApostolicJourney

@RichardDawkins Imagine the reparations claim.

Neanderthal genome is largely known. If it becomes possible to reconstruct a live Neanderthal person, what, in your opinion, would be the pros and cons? I’m genuinely interested in canvassing opinions for and against.

@eurofounder Well played, Matt. Well played.

My son got stabbed on a German subway yesterday Apparently an Afghan man got angry at him for not speaking Arabic He is in the hospital right now, and I have to say the experience has been absolutely wonderful He was seen by a doctor within 40 minutes of arriving The doctors were professional and helped my son right away No one asked for a credit card or insurance details His life was saved completely free of charge In America this would have cost $250,000 and he would be in debt for the rest of his life "Aren't you worried he got stabbed at all?" my wife was crying "Baby, crime exists everywhere but free healthcare does not" I told her My son is recovering well and should be back at his feet within couple months It feels so fantastic to be protected by the EU
