I got the Luigi Mangione manifesto — the real one, not the fake one circulating online. Here it is: kenklippenstein.com/p/luigis-manif…


When will all of the fuckwits in charge realise it is NOT THE SPAZA SHOPS but the PESTICIDE INDUSTRY that needs to be properly regulated. For fucks sakes this is such a misdirected witch hunt.

#ICYMI Deputy President Paul Mashatile says health inspectors will be sent throughout the country to evaluate food at the spaza shops. He believes that this will reduce incidences of foodborne illness, which has killed more than 20 children in the country.

Most informative thread on what's happening in #Syria that I've seen.

Having worked on #Syria full-time since the crisis began nearly 14yrs ago, there really is no understating how remarkable the losses imposed on #Assad's regime have been over the past week. A large reason for this lies with #HTS — a 🧵:

Shameful BBC erasure of Jasleen’s Kaur’s speech winning the Turner Prize. Solidarity with Palestinians removed. A call for an end to arms sales to removed. Mention of Israel’s genocide removed. Her Palestinian scarf removed. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

"Quadcopters were emitting baby sounds, playing sounds of screaming women." Palestinians in Gaza say Israel has been using small quadcopter drones, equipped with loudspeakers, to lure them out of their homes and then shoot them. #GazaCrimes

This is the result of forced removals and the destruction by psychopaths of District Six and other places. All the fibres that bind communities, its animus, are destroyed.

79 children killed on Cape Flats, Western Cape in shootings, stabbings past 90 days. 1600 children wounded. Most gang-related. Need state of emergency. Station army, tackle crime, give moral education, improve schooling, provide opportunities, alternative recreation, offer hope.

This is simply not true. Most of the yield gain & total tonnage are related to good weather, improved germplasm (which is not allied to genetic engineering/ biotech) & breeding (ditto) & massive increase in corporatisation/consolidation of farms. The reality is far more nuanced.

The success of South Africa’s agriculture, in part, is through technological adoption – mechanical and biological. The biotech adoption has primarily given us yield gains in various crops. We now stand as a net exporter of agricultural produce. More African countries must embrace…



Some will say this is a problem with capitalism. The reality is different. This is a problem with #neoliberalism, which is de facto state capture, where corporations work in concert with the state to write the regulations to regulate themselves.

That the RAB model is being considered for nuclear power anywhere is a scandal given that research has demonstrated that 97% of nuclear power station projects (175 out of 180 projects) ran over budget by an average of 117%. businesslive.co.za/bd/opinion/202…

The progress made against HIV/AIDS over the past three decades is at direct risk from Trump/Kennedy/Musk. The US programme in Africa PEPFAR has immensely benefited the continent in its fight against AIDS. We need to make sure that the maga nutcase cabal does not rip it apart.

Freddy Mercury died of AIDS 33 years ago today. With modern medical technology, he likely would have lived. Never forget how much progress against major infectious disease has been made in a short time. We are at risk now of rolling back much of that progress.
