There Are No Passengers On Spaceship Earth, in the end we are all one crew.

[Ulrich Janse van Vuuren @UlrichJvV]

Land at OR Tambo. Unaware the last train out leaves 20:30. Arrive at the station 20:29:50. Let’s just say security were cheering, people on the escalator up were laughing, passengers wide-eyed as I sprinted across the platform with my big luggage dragging along. I made it! This must be what it feels like to win the Comrades. Thank you @TheGautrain for waiting for me a full 3 seconds. 😅🙏❤️

🚨"I don't want this. But it's inevitable. It's the only way to make you listen," Vladimir Solovyov said about the use of nuclear weapons.

"You don't understand. You started in 2022. Germany started with, 'Let's send medical aid.' And look at what's happening now: German Panzers. It all started with, 'We don't want to be part of this war.' And look at what's happening now. Everything the Ukrainians are fighting with is supplied by European factories. You, ironically enough, call these weapons Ukrainian, but they're not Ukrainian. Storm Shadow, like many other missiles, is either British or of other foreign origin. And you help the Ukrainians target them, you guide them, you give them intelligence. And you've declared it. That means you're a participant in this war. In that case, you're an enemy, and you must be destroyed. And if we have to destroy you as an enemy, we don't want to fight you with conventional means. We'll have to use everything we have." "

This isn't me or my point of view. These are simply the laws of war. Or do you think you can kill our girls, you can kill our civilians, and everything will be fine? And after that, you'll sleep peacefully in your homes, thinking, "We'll never get revenge"? Are you serious? Hasn't history taught you anything? Or do you seriously believe we'll wage the same war we waged against Ukraine?"

I am tweeting this to complain on behalf of the @SteersSA and @fishaways staff. The Princess Crossing Branch at Ontdekkers Road, Roodepoort.

To management, Hi. Your branches are COLD! To say they are cold is an understatement. It's literally freezing and colder than the weather outside! We (customers) were told that apparently the AC isn't allowed to be switched off. It was so cold that we couldn't stand the coldness of the shop for that 15 minutes of us waiting for our orders, now imagine the staff members who have to endure that for an entire shift. How are they supposed to function or survive in such a cold environment, especially during this cold winter??

Please amend whatever rule you guys placed and allow staff members to turn the heater on. They, too, deserve dignity and comfort.

Thank you.

These clowns must be arrested for defeating ends of justice, the mother of the victim gave an account of what happened then these ones created their own story to protect thugs.

Ah, man. I can’t stop feeling so heartwarmed over this. South Africans (of all races) saw a good public servant victimised, a cop, no less, came together and have raised over R200K & climbing for him. And he plans to use the donations to help others. These are the good stories about us that need to get out there. Sure, there are some bad apples out there like in all societies, but in sum: good people. You are special yousss ♥️🇿🇦😭

西方对中国最愤怒是中国把他们躺赚了几十年的暴利生意，一个个砸成了普通人都买得起的日用品。
这种愤怒已经刻进了很多西方人的骨子里，他们不是不理解，而是不愿意理解，不愿意接受自己再也不能躺着剥削全世界的事实。
二十年前，中国修地铁要用盾构机，全部从德国进口。一台盾构机德国卖3.5亿人民币，一分钱都不能少。买的时候还要签霸王条款，机器坏了只能找德国工程师来修。
德国工程师来中国一天的工资是3000欧元，换算成人民币当时是3万多。他们坐飞机必须坐头等舱，住必须是五星级酒店的总统套房。
维修的时候中国人不能在旁边看，必须全部离场，修完了直接开账单，换一个小小的密封圈就要10万人民币。
有时候机器出个小故障，要等德国工程师三个月才能来，整个工地几百人就只能闲着干等，每天损失几百万。
没有人觉得这有什么不对。全世界都默认，高科技就应该卖这么贵，德国人掌握了技术，他们就有资格赚这个钱。甚至放言给中国图纸也造不出盾构机。
但到2008年，中国第一台拥有自主知识产权的盾构机下线。当时德国人根本不在乎，他们觉得中国人造出来的肯定是垃圾，用不了几天就会坏。
结果中国盾构机不仅能用，而且价格直接开到了5000万一台。后来随着技术不断成熟，产量不断提高，现在一台国产盾构机只要2000多万人民币，价格只有原来德国的十七分之一。

德国盾构机的垄断神话一夜之间破灭了。原来全世界只有德国、日本、美国少数几个国家能造盾构机，他们联合起来维持高价，想卖多少钱就卖多少钱。
现在中国加入了，他们的价格体系彻底崩溃了。现在德国盾构机想卖出去，价格也只能降到和中国差不多的水平，再也不能躺着赚暴利了。
而这样的事在各个领域都不断的上演，套用足球解说的一句话，留给西方垄断的时间不多了。

Germany's bid for a non-permanent seat on the UN Security Council ends in crushing failure

After Germany's reactions to events in Gaza, Venezuela, Lebanon and Iran, no one could believe that "its utmost priority will be respect for the rules of international law", if elected
