@JHBWater The irony of this announcement when half the municipality has no access to water

[Geoff at a distance @Geoff_Raikes]

@JHBWater Literally just the same update again. Where is the urgency?

[Geoff at a distance @Geoff_Raikes]

@JHBWater Any update here? 3rd day without water in Sandton

@Nick_Hamman @StandardBankZA If you want better private banking service then Investec is likely the best option. They’re unbeatable on the service front.

If you’re just looking for rewards and discounts then Discovery is decent.

I wonder what Daniel Ricciardo did in the tyre test for RedBull to fire DeVries immediately 🤔

[Geoff at a distance @Geoff_Raikes]

This is not surprising.
Anecdotally it feels like I’ve seen more transphobic, anti-vax and anti woke tweets since Musk has taken over too. Always from accounts I don’t follow.

[I'm @Ketanjoshi.co on Bluesky @KetanJ0]

Noticed that pro-climate-action accounts were stagnating or shrinking, and that denier accounts seemed to be ballooning. So - I checked, with some help, and....yep.

Elon Musk has made Twitter into a safe space for pro-fossil fuel disinformation. A 🧵

Gas stoves are energy efficient and good backups for cooking during a power outage. Safety should however be your main concern.

@micherable_ FB marketplace has been a bit safer for me. I like that you can see the profile of the person you’re chatting to, makes it easier to verify that this is a real person and not a scam.

100MW is very small. Probably more hassle trying to load shed 100MW than it’s worth to be fair

[marcel @marcel__za]

Namibia receives around 100MW of power from ESKOM, uninterrupted. Not a minute of load-shedding

@Nicholasvanj If you don’t mind me asking, what is the ballpark cost of PRK these days?

[Geoff at a distance @Geoff_Raikes]

@Nix_KS Has to be money laundering

This is unbelievable

ChatGPT is the new Google.

[Geoff at a distance @Geoff_Raikes]

Playing around with ChatGPT and it feels way ahead of its time. Low-key terrified of what this means for white collar jobs.

Imagine the irony of Ramaphosa resigning over integrity issues only to be replaced by Zweli Mkhize or David Mabuza

[Lindiwe Mazibuko @LindiMazibuko]

[THREAD] 1. If the President resigns tonight it will open the door for the nastiest, most craven and unrepentant criminals in the ANC to start feasting again. Are you ready for “President David Mabuza”?
