My latest piece, an optimistic interlude from my usual curmudgeonly political commentary :)

@considerareZA @RomanCabanac Indeed. I considered bringing the sycophantic preening of the EFF into it as well, but the fruit was too low-hanging. I expect no better of them. Though I do cover the vomitous response by the ANC

My latest piece, on the vile immorality of those who glorify the evil of #RobertMugabe https://t.co/y6UyzkYKMp #Mugabe #Zimbabwe

[Robin Gilbert-Jones @Robin_GJ]

Delayed post here (Brexit and Christchurch rightly dominated the news cycle) but an important subject nonetheless. Why @DavidLammy's #whitesaviours moan is not just asinine but indicative of the left's waning claim to a moral highground https://t.co/O2HbfehABQ

My first piece in a while to mark #BannedBooksWeek 2018...A holiday more relevant than ever with the proliferation of the censorious impulse on college campuses #campuscensorship #regressiveleft #deplatforming

My defense of @RubinReport in the face of a wave of recent attacks from @TheYoungTurks amongst others. I don't see making space for honest cordial conversation as a cause for derision. Keep it up Dave! https://t.co/eRD7S3G4MY #IDW #Intellectualdarkweb #regressiveleft

@SamHarrisOrg 2. But, crucially, please Sam, don't stop releasing your live events! They are so valuable. I too prefer the traditional format but the live events add a new dimension and it is great to hear the QnA with the audience. I believe it contributes to building conversational community

[Robin Gilbert-Jones @Robin_GJ]

@SamHarrisOrg 1. Agree 100% about the direction of the bad faith on show. Sorry you have to put up with this. This is the last straw that has pushed me to become a contributor to the podcast (so that backfired at least in my case, well done regressive bullies!)

Our tribute to #StephenHawking, a beautiful mind who brought mankind with him on his journey through the universe https://t.co/4g6LLXyA7q #StephenHawkingRIP #RIPStephenHawking

@RubinReport Hey Dave. As you may know South Africa is making the news for the wrong reasons right now but there's a lack of sensible debate on all sides. We love your show and we'd love to talk to you more about it. Here's our take (short version) https://t.co/nBqQF4ceKr

[Prof Thuli Madonsela #KindnessBuilds @ThuliMadonsela3]

When you feel sorry for yourself and start blaming life for being unfair to you, consider Steven Hawking and choose to lead epically

[Robin Gilbert-Jones @Robin_GJ]

"I have spent my life travelling across the universe inside my mind." For 76 years, you took the human race with you on that journey. For an an infinitesimally brief moment in history of the cosmos, you showed us infinity. Travel in piece #StephenHawking https://t.co/AVuDcURAvy

[Robin Gilbert-Jones @Robin_GJ]

@Lauren_Southern, I don't doubt your intentions and appreciate your interest in our situation and efforts to draw attention to it, however, this podcast does serve as something of a counterpoint to your conclusions about #SouthAfrica https://t.co/utVC9WRD8Z

[Robin Gilbert-Jones @Robin_GJ]

Latest in the @imagineathena podcast. @CandiceCarrie and I discuss #SouthAfrica, #ExpropriationOfLandWithoutCompensation and biased portrayals of our country by international media https://t.co/nBqQF4ceKr #ANC #CR2018 #cyrilramaphosa

Just listened to @rustyrockets attempting to interview @SamHarrisOrg but had to pause it frequently as I could feel my neurons being killed off by the toxicity of Brand's mental gymnastics https://t.co/Q2ZdiiBbVP

[Sihle Ngobese @BigDaddyLiberty]

#PropertyRights & #liberty are the means to empower formerly disenfranchised and "land hungry" black folk.

#LandExpropriation (as per #ANC & #EFF) is the tool through which you give government the power to dispossess blacks and whites, and enrich politicians and their friends!

[Robin Gilbert-Jones @Robin_GJ]

@roboakhill @imagineathena Thanks @roboakhill, glad you enjoyed it

A new day for #SouthAfrica. The cynical age of #Zuma is over https://t.co/iJwtHr2sQK #CyrilRamaphosa #Zumexit

This is again relevant given a lot of the negativity flying around about @elonmusk's latest achievement https://t.co/kLGSfzteLa #FalconHeavy #FalconHeavyLaunch
