If you were Mrs Morgan, would you have taken the job?

We’ve come a long way baby or at least we thought we had. I found this letter in the house that I bought

@GPAIndiana Which is why I can't be bothered using Grok or any of his ilk. I always have to double and triple-check. And by that time, I could have searched a proper source.

It was about 11:55am on 27 April 1994, at the age of 33, that I entered a Polling Booth in Mitchell’s Plain for the first time in my life to cast a ballot for the government of my choice.
I broke down in tears. Waves of emotion swept over me. I will never forget that moment.

@Nigel_Mang This doesn't count if your audience becomes botified. @elonmusk killed my small, organic but active audience with his first algorithm change.

Communicating with Grok isn't going to make anything better for you.

@LBFlyawayhome @blackpugs No, this is much of the world. Those generations still knew how to preserve the planet without having to be told. And only in Britain always in a British box.

@Mapentz @SollyMalatsi @CommsZA It also kills the environment. Water is a scarce resource in our country.

[Earth Hour Official @earthhour]

Thank you for dedicating nearly 3 million hours (and counting!) to our planet this year.

Thanks to your commitment to protecting our one shared home, we created a record-breaking #BiggestHourForEarth, doubling last year’s record of 1.4 million hours!

Neither do I.

[Nick Young @nickofnz]

I don't want a city on Mars.
I don't want AI in every app.
I don't want data centres in space.

I want clean water.
I want a stable climate.
I want bees to survive.

@MrPitbull07 Can I just ask the question, please? How do you hit someone's mailbox and then get angry at them?

[HeleneVdW Translator Editor @HeleneTranslate]

@tomgauld @GuardianBooks 😂😂😂

[HeleneVdW Translator Editor @HeleneTranslate]

@LiamCusack12 @ZakesMda And what they don't get, they create... #AI

@RediTlhabi I couldn't make malva pudding in Germany.

@otokyo Someone will pick for you, and you won't be happy. Put each colour/texture over the whole floor and make your own choice. One thing: tiles are cold. Enjoy your new floors.

@Wisdom_HQ They each have their role in society. No group of people in any society can operate on their own little island. Why would some be more important than others?

[HeleneVdW Translator Editor @HeleneTranslate]

@Wisdom_HQ AI in all its forms. It's not the only thing, but probably the worst.

[HeleneVdW Translator Editor @HeleneTranslate]

@mhlambitn @kznsagallery @webticketsSA OMW, what a combo! 🇿🇦🍾

[HeleneVdW Translator Editor @HeleneTranslate]

@FinancialXpress So pull them!!!!!!!!!!!

Sad to miss this year’s Huberte Rupert Memorial Concert in Stellenbosch on Friday featuring Frankfurt-based violist, Eike Coetzee. Presented by the Cape Town Philharmonic Orchestra it funds an overseas young South African musician to come home & perform with @CapePhil Salutes!
