Shockingly, I have not heard about any new school shootings in the USA this year. Are school shootings still a thing or has the media stopped reporting on it?

Good morning

@cooltxchick.bsky.social Have you seen this? He’s FABULOUS. Lays out racism, classism and sexism brilliantly! www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBeB...

She’s right , you know.

And just like that... We're back to apartheid South Africa 😭😭😭😭

The Chinese are NOT fucking around... swarm.coiloptic.org/brettm/p/1…

This looks like something I gotta try... I love the open source software environment. All industries should run on open source models. Look at the unparalleled success of the open source software ecosystem. https://www.xda-developers.com/huginn-free-open-source-ifttt-alternative/

Chilling on the verandah in Limpopo, South Africa... Whenever there's even just a little bit of rain, then there's a moth infestation. They're all gone by daytime.. Nature is incredible.

Map of Chinese high-speed rail network Now that's some serious progress.

Test Message 2 Just testing the Bluesky integration...

What's the latest in the global daily shitshow?

Imagine if Obama had a rich billionaire from Nigeria doing to the US government what Elon Musk is doing? Now tell me racism and white privilege are not deeply entrenched systemic phenomena.

The US playbook. With a friend like the USA, who needs enemies.

Around the world we have all started to feel the pain and anxiety of the US's embracing of fascism, nazism, bigotry and breathtaking ignorance. People of the world, now more than ever, we need to unite to start making racists shit their pants again. The American Taliban cannot be allowed to win.

You were lied to about the events in Tiananmen Square, China. Checkout this video for the full story. youtu.be/2Oq2k066A1w?...

The global resistance against Trump, oligarchs, billionaires, Western propaganda and the excesses of global capitalism has begun. Join the revolution.

People of thw West, USA, Europe, Australia, NZ...you've all been lied to. Western countries are NOT bastions of free speech as they claim. China is NOT the bad, evil country u've been told it is. Please watch this clip that exposes the myth of free speech in America. www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGqj...

I find it terrifying and amusing that so many US citizens think they're going to get a chance to vote differently in the midterms. Your government is already toast. DOGE has eviscerated it all. Do you really think you're going to have another fair, credible election after Trump and DOGE?

To my American friends, have you thought about what kind of society you want to build if you ever survive Trump? What changes will you make to your society? Your constitution? Your government structure? Your electoral system? Surely, by now, you must realise that all these things are broken?

When you think about the fact that Elon Musk now has people's SS Numbers, their Medical records and is now trying to buy OpenAI so he can have the most powerful AI resources in the world. Watch this clip of what might be possible soon. This is harrowing stuff. www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-2t...

It's GO TIME as the hacker group Anonymous lays the law down with MAGA and Adolf Titler. I'm not sure if this is real, but damn is it good to watch. What do you think? youtu.be/9oF4mf5pIzg?...

To the world that is intent on succumbing to bullies, narcissists, liars, mass-murderers, racists and ethnic cleansers, rest assured that here in South Africa, we children of Mandela will NOT be bullied. We will speak up for the poor, the marginalised and the oppressed. This is who we are!

This is one of the most important articles you can read if you want to understand what is happening in the US today. chrishedges.substack.com/p/the-empire...

Fuck Bezos. Here is a good way to fuck with that little bald midget’s bottom line.

From South Africa, with love.

Imagine if a black South African left SA at age 17, moved to the USA and became the world's richest entrepreneur. Imagine the response if this guy inserted himself into the Obama administration, accessing government funds and firing staff on a whim in a similar way to how Elon Musk is behaving.

We need to stop worshipping the wealthy and thinking the success of the wealthy is somehow our success.

😑stupid idiots!

DEI is the new scapegoat for mediocre white men who see any attempt at creating a semblance of equality as an intolerable, oppressive injustice... The mind boggles.

The movie Civil War is looking more and more like a portent to the near future in the USA as the country embraces dystopia...
