Isn’t it ironic how Elon’s Starlink wants to drop free, unlimited, super-fast internet into 5,000 rural South African schools, but SA’s bureaucracy insists on saying no. I think the 2.4 million kids in SA without proper access would benefit immensely. Starlink is even putting R500 million (about $29.4 million USD) on the table themselves, no cost to the government or the schools. All they’re asking? A normal licence to operate in SA. Here’s the crazy part: because of the 30% black-ownership rule (B-BBEE), ICASA keeps saying “nope.” Starlink says, “Cool, we won’t sell shares, but we’ll just give you this giant school project instead,” using the same Equity Equivalent programme that Microsoft, Amazon and IBM already got approved with. The Communications Minister is literally begging ICASA to accept it. Neighbours like Botswana, Zimbabwe and Mozambique are already connected and loving it. Yet here we are, end of 2025, and those satellites are just flying over South Africa doing nothing while kids in the bundus still can’t pursue their dreams. Come on, South Africa, don’t be the only country turning down free internet for millions of learners. The irony, to me, is that Elon was born in South Africa, the very place that is telling him no to such a generopus offer!

@goshebang @hissgoescobra Wow, yes...you nailed it. It should be about who you support and not who you hate. And even "hate" is such a strong word and emotion, and generally very unnecessary.

@hissgoescobra Symbolic of a nation where the president has fuelled hate. Where nationally it’s not about who you support it’s about who you hate and how much hatred you can show to your opponent. Saddest thing is a lot of Americans are too dumb to see it (as you can see in the replies)

Couldn’t agree more with this, the MAGAfication of the Ryder Cup had a wider symbolic significance.

Recency bias, but having been at Ironman Wales today, I’m picking it as better than both Nice and Hawaii. If you were to design a long distance triathlon course from scratch that would be the blueprint. What a show Tenby puts on.

I’m so proud to see Finland — a small nation — represented at the world’s ‘big tables.’ Alexander Stubb has quickly become one of the most respected presidents globally.

@geordinhl @ZahidBadroodien @CityofCT If only a was could be found to incentives people to stop dumping and extreme litering. The tossing of garbage over walls, dumping into gutters, canals, streams and rivers is extreme to say the least.

I’m very pleased that another 20 rivers and canals across the City now have new permanent waste interceptors. These have been installed in the last few weeks. We want to clean up our rivers, beaches and ocean! 🏞️ 🌊 Keep an eye out for these new waste interceptors popping up across the city. Let’s keep our rivers and ocean clean together! ☎️ Report illegal dumping: 086 010 3089

Genuine question: why are the ICE agents in the US masked, and wearing what appears to be battle fatigues and full body armour, and what appears to be armed for war?

Every1 needs to read this, read it again. Because it's true, we believe what's easy & comfortable vs the common sense & sometimes mundane, uncomfortable nature of the truth. It's why social media is so powerful as it affirms our feelings, opinions, truth "doesnt".
Mike Abel@abelmike

The Gospel Of Spin: Why People Choose Silly Beliefs Over Plain Reality Watching people insist that Trump and Musk are “strategically fighting” in some galactic-level game of “5D chess” reminded me of a deeper truth: people don’t just believe what’s true, they believe what feels reassuring. That’s the real religion of our age. We’ve moved beyond facts. Now, what matters is whether something affirms your worldview, your bias, your need to feel in control. Reality is optional, whilst narrative is everything. And in this strange new faith, spin isn’t deception. It’s doctrine. It’s mandatory. Take the Trump vs Musk fallout. What is clearly a real, ugly and bitter power struggle, triggered by policy differences, personal jabs, and threats of cutting billion-dollar contracts, and clashing egos, is desperately being recast by loyalists as a genius-level illusion. “It’s all part of the plan,” they say. “They’re playing 5D chess.” Really? When both men already hold all the cards. One as President, the other the richest man alive, why stoop to theatrical trickery to make a point? If this is strategy, it’s indistinguishable from chaotic dysfunction. The truth is more mundane and more dangerous: we’re living in an era where the crowd would rather believe in a clever lie than accept a simple, uncomfortable truth. Because belief is easier. Belief requires no proof, only just conviction. And social media, that great digital altar, rewards conviction with likes, retweets, and their dopamine highs. The more outlandish the take, the more divine the attention. And so, the new Gospel spreads: * That every public feud is a strategic move. * That every setback is secretly a setup. * That every betrayal is a breadcrumb to some greater plan. No room for plain idiocy. No tolerance for ambiguity. Just a desperate clinging to the illusion of control. When we choose comforting lies over confronting truth, we don’t just distort reality, we also abdicate responsibility. We become easier to manipulate, quicker to divide, and increasingly blind to what’s right in front of us. The Musk vs Trump clash isn’t a show. It’s not a plot twist. It’s two massive egos colliding in full public view. And if we can’t call this circus what it is, we’ve lost more than the truth, we’ve lost our grip on reality itself. #5DChessFarce
