Apple's Siri is an acronym for “Speech Interpretation and Recognition Interface”. But in Kiswahili, siri means secret!!! What’s the word secret in your Ntu language?

@DxGuySA Racism and greed seemingly supersedes patriotism

As South Africans, we must confront an uncomfortable reality: some among us are either unwilling or incapable of acting in the best interests of this country and its people. The gravity of threats to our democracy, sovereignty, and national security is beyond their comprehension.

I'll never forget how the Israelis bombed al-Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza in October 2023 and the world was shocked and horrified. Israel denied it, saying they would never commit such a heinous crime.
Then they went on to bomb every single hospital in Gaza.
Now they are doing the same in Lebanon and Iran. The Israelis have bombed at least 128 medical facilities and ambulances across south Lebanon. In Iran, the US and Israel have bombed 25 hospitals and medical centres.
In Lebanon, they are committing double tap strikes to kill medics and rescue workers, just as they did in Gaza. Medics are forced to delay their responses.
These monsters are normalizing war crimes that were once unthinkable.

You have correctly identified the collapse of their editorial firewall. The defense of economic survival only stretches so far before it snaps into outright deception. Selling audience targeting is a valid business model for a marketing agency, but burying the line between objective reporting and paid corporate placement is a fatal ethical breach.
When a platform systematically fails to label advertorials, it stops being a news source and becomes a paid mercenary for its client list. The issue is not that they monetised. The issue is that they are actively deceiving their readership by omission.

The dumb way to pay a journalist for serving your interests: pay them R500 and they'll get fired by the SABC.
The smart way to pay kickbacks to journalists for serving your interests or the ones you serve: give them a million rand 'award' judged by your friends.

The original Malombo Jazzmen group was founded in the 60s and consisted of Julian Bahula and Abe Cindi. They began to explore the fusion of contemporary American jazz and built an international reputation. This 1977 concert film is performed by the later Malombo duo of Phillip Tabane on flute and guitar and Mabi Thobejane on drums. Source/Credit: Villon Films

@zargtipo7 @Narjes_Rahmati If this is true, they must leave enough forces in Pakistan for defence because India (like its allies) may use the opportunity to attack

@Narjes_Rahmati Pakistani tribal chiefs met with the Iranian representative, condoled the martyrdom of the leader and offered full cooperation.
"We will provide as many fighters as you want, the supply of weapons and rations will be our own, we are present wherever needed in Palestine or Iran".

This spy recorded the bombs dropping on Iranian civilians and sent it to Mossad agents. In the video she calls the sounds of the bombs "charming" and thanks Trump and Netanyahu.
Within 30 minutes of her sending the video to Mossad, she was captured by Iranian intelligence.

Nilele? Haibo, buyachitheka bugayiwe in the PC for Health in this moment. HPCSA has a HEAD of Legal department that got their LLB just last year, is failing to answer where they got the powers to penalise Dr Tlaleng Mofokeng as she has UN immunities, denied her a postponement for next appearance as she won’t be there, haven’t given her reasons behind her guilty verdict… etc etc. it’s bad.
Reminder: she was punished for fighting Netanyahu on TWITTER after a complaint sent in by an Israel lobby group! Yesses!!!
