At the government's annual State of the Nation address to the citizens that it serves; we must first watch and listen to our politicians show us the life of luxury that enabling all of the above has afforded them. We must read how "journalists" give their verdict on which of these officials looked the most glamourous.
We don't hate the government and South African journalists enough. Trust me, they fucking hate us.
Minister Nokuzola Sisisi Tolashe, entrepreneur Rethabile Lethoko-Ncwana, Deputy Minister Nonceba Mhlauli, and cultural activist Ria Reen have arrived at Cape Town City Hall for the 2026 State of the Nation Address—sparking the question of who is best dressed. iol.co.za/

It’s wild how instrumental Hasan sees himself in all of this 🤣
Hasan reveals his plan to put "Asmongold for prison" in the ether
"Arrest Asmongold, just gonna put that out in the ether. I'm just gonna keep bringing it up randomly..that's how back woke is, AT&T about to kiss my feet..I'm the new Senate majority leader and my first order of business is putting Asmongold in prison"
"We were able to play a formative role in so many races all across the country and we were able to win, and it's just the beginning. The tears of our enemies will be the delicious nectar of victory, and we haven't even seen them cry yet"
There was a time when “journalists” prided themselves on having public personas that were impartial. The upside was having an audience that could trust you were doing your job uninfluenced by a personal agenda.
There is no news anymore. Just “journalists” who see themselves as soldiers in a war where the winner gets to shape information, instead of reporting it.

It is regrettable that South African policies led to the termination of AGOA for South Africa. This was a predictable and preventable outcome resulting from the rejection by South Africa's government of real concerns raised by the U.S. Government. I remain hopeful that we can find a path forward to address our larger bilateral concerns, but the South African government must understand the gravity of the situation. We know that if America succeeds, so too will South Africa. This is the partnership I will continue to pursue as expeditiously as possible.

What Rebecca really means is: live in an echo chamber where you can throw accusations and insults at people who are outside of it, and never have to deal with the consequences, while everyone who is around you showers you with toxic positivity.
This is a member of parliament. This is an actual member of parliament speaking to South Africans, “No land no peace”.

Is it still worth starting a career in software engineering? What do you think? Here’s my take 👇

You absolute midwit. Congrats on repeating the Wikipedia "Nazis were far-right, end of story" summary you absorbed between TikToks.
Yes, the Nazis crushed independent unions, jailed and murdered communists and social democrats, and Hitler liquidated the Strasserite "left" wing of his own party in the Night of the Long Knives. That part is not in dispute. They were not Marxist class-struggle socialists. They hated Bolshevism as a Jewish plot and treated international socialism as the main enemy. Fine.
What your middle-school history class skipped is that they still ran a National *Socialist* state: private property existed only as long as it served the Führer’s racial and war goals, wages and prices were controlled, industry was cartelized under state direction, profit was subordinated to the party, and the economy was planned for autarky and rearmament. That is not free-market capitalism, liberal conservatism, or classical right-wing economics. It is the same family of state-directed, anti-liberal, collectivist economics practiced by every other fascist and "national socialist" regime. The name was not a prank; the 25-point program and the early rhetoric were full of anti-capitalist planks precisely because they were competing with the actual socialists for working-class support.
Your North Korea comparison is the usual gotcha and it is only half-clever. Yes, names can lie. But the NSDAP did not merely call itself socialist while secretly running a Rothschild hedge fund. They nationalized, directed, rationed, and regimented. The difference from Soviet socialism was mainly that the Nazis kept the owners as managers under party orders instead of shooting them all and installing commissars. Both systems produced shortages, secret police, and mass graves; one just had better uniforms and Wagner.
Elon pointing out the obvious—that "National Socialist" is not an ironic branding exercise and that the regime was economically left of any classical liberal or conservative—does not make him a moron. It makes him less obedient to the post-1945 academic consensus that insists every totalitarian who isn’t a full Marxist must be filed under "far-right" so the left never has to share the body count. Money didn’t buy him a brain; it just bought him a platform where he doesn’t have to pretend your selective reading of 1930s Germany is the complete picture.
Keep yelling "far-right fascists" while ignoring the actual economic policies and the party’s own name. It is the historical equivalent of covering your ears and shouting.
One of the biggest fumbles you’ll ever see. Many, many people’s favourite browser to be killed for a new product that no-one likes. This is insane.
We've decided to sunset Arc on December 22, 2026.
That's not an easy sentence to write. We spent years building Arc and celebrating each and every release along the way: we have so much pride and love for what we made alongside the Arc community.
Our priority is to deliver best-in-class security for our members. Keeping a browser secure takes constant, dedicated work that is only increasing in the age of AI. Dia was built from the ground up to meet today’s security standards, so that's where our engineering and security teams will focus moving forward.
We've worked to make switching to @diabrowser as easy as possible for Arc members. Here's how:
· Your passwords, bookmarks, extensions and history come over to Dia seamlessly.
· Spaces, Folders, and Tab Groups are in Dia and import over with your data intact.
· Dia now surpasses Arc benchmarks in stability, speed, and security.
· The browser features you use in Arc are free in Dia, and the AI is optional.
Thank you for using Arc, for pushing us to make it better, and for building alongside us. The team that made Arc is the same team behind Dia, and some of our most ambitious work is just ahead. We'd love for you to be there with us when it lands.

So basically, today PHP got two critical bugs that let anyone run code on your server without even logging in, which is bad, and then the details leaked before the patch was even out, which is worse, and it works on WordPress and MediaWiki and Magento and Joomla and Laravel, and Censys says like 1.5 million servers are running a version with no fix, so the NSA was like "take your system offline," and the FBI was like "take your system offline," and CISA and the UK and CERT-EU were all like "take your system offline," and then the Prime Minister of Japan, the actual Prime Minister, posted at 5:55 in the morning telling 48.8 million people to take their system offline, so everyone took their system offline, like the Dutch cybersecurity agency took its own website offline, and the Dutch parliament went offline, and the Port of Rotterdam went offline, and Finland and France and Denmark started pulling government sites, and Wikipedia went down, and Archive.org went down, and Asana and GOG and Something Awful went down, and the University of Vienna's webmail went down for some reason, and that's just PHP. Because GitLab also dropped a CVSS 10.0, which is the highest score they give out, for a bug that's been there since 2014, so that's every self-hosted GitLab for twelve years, and then LiteLLM 1.107.0 got hijacked and shipped a credential stealer and a remote access trojan in every single wheel and the Docker images, including latest, and you didn't even have to import it, just installing it was enough, and it's the second time this year, and then Railway paused every deployment on the entire platform because someone got into the environment variables, so now everyone has to rotate every secret they've ever stored there, and TiDB Cloud said someone was walking around inside with stolen credentials for basically a month and an extortion group says they took 10.6 terabytes, and Zeabur got breached for the second time in two months and is just shutting down, like the whole company, and Node.js patched remote code execution and a TLS bypass, and CISA says Plex is being actively exploited, and someone took over 300 Tor exit relays to steal SSH passwords, and SafePay ransomware has hit over 600 critical infrastructure orgs, and India's biggest bank filed a data loss incident, and Japan has been in an official state of emergency in cyberspace since October 9, which honestly explains the 5:55 AM post. Oh, and eMudhra, a certificate authority that's issued over 60 million certificates, whose entire job is proving websites are who they say they are, was supposed to be using private keys that are random numbers over a hundred digits long, and one of them was 4. Just 4. And the others were like 66 and 237. Anyway, it's Wednesday.

He’s talking about sitting the guy who’s breaking world records for stadium comedy shows, down like a child, to teach him about words 🤣🤣 I think he’s got it sorted, Kenan.

If more billionaires do this, Brad Gerstner could ultimately be responsible for the biggest mass generational wealth transfer in the history of humanity… without taxes or bureaucracy. Changing the trajectory of America and making capitalism work for everyone 👏🏾

Elon Musk giving $10bn directly to American children is outrageous. We need a donation tax. You can’t just invest in their future without paying a commission to the people who’ve already mortgaged it.
