I speak Afrikaans with my dad, German with my mother, English with my younger brother, Afrikaans with my older brother, and they all speak differently with each other, and this is just a normal day in our family life. #languages #growingupmultilimgual

[Kévin Abroad | YouTube l Now on bluesky too! @KevinAbroadYT]

Oh my god. I'm in 4 languages mode at the moment. I speak Portuguese and French to my family, Spanish to my partner and English to everyone else. My brain will explode 😂

Facebook is down — and maybe that's a good thing.

Big Tech has found a winning strategy for monopolizing our attention. What if it's also making us less moral and empathetic? The consequences would be catastrophic, @SigalSamuel writes. https://t.co/317BHylUkk

@dutweets You go on about 5G & being more connected. You've taken away all Voip calls from us. We pay a fortune each month for our phone lines and data. But the phone line quality is still AWFUL! HOW are we supposed to connect with our families? So tired of this terrible service!

Elon Musk: Computers are much smarter than humans on so many dimensions.

Jack Ma: Computers may be clever, but human beings are much smarter. We invented the computer—I've never seen a computer invent a human being. https://t.co/HwpsNwaBhd 🤖

Memories of covering this story extensively back in 2013 at @eNCA triggering nostalgia of working in 24-hour news...

Edward Snowden, the National Security Agency contractor who leaked a trove of secret documents in 2013, has written a memoir expected to be released in September https://t.co/hoSsWhpkmu

@dutweets I have been trying to cancel my home services with you for a week and no one is picking up. The du office told me I can only call this one number that is only available in Arabic, and NO ONE ANSWERS.

Here’s how to sell SEO

1. Get a junior role at Google
2. Leave after a few months
3. Start SEO agency
4. Tell everyone you’re an ‘ex Googler’

5. 🤑

Food for thought for all us journos in the MENA region. This is how to start fixing #journalism in the #Arab world. Such an important piece by @ARahman_Mansour https://t.co/nnDHYK8F4h

[Christine Grové @StinaGrove]

"Barling insists that he never expects a future in journalism that’s completely human-free." Oh well that's a relief....😑😒 Journalism has become a veritable s#*t show, so now we're in this situation. https://t.co/rD4l7625ts #journalismjobs #AI #FakeNews

In 2018, 18% of MENA funding deals were in startups with at least 1 female founder. Female-only startups accounted for only 3.5%. BUT it's more than the 2.2% of funding that went into female-only startups in the US. MENA winning? @MAGNITT #femalefounders https://t.co/nstzQr01RK

But first, #coffee. ☕️☕️☕️

[NaTakallam @NaTakallam]

We all start the day with a cup of #coffee ☕. But did you know that the word coffee in almost any #language comes from the Arabic word "Qahwa" قهوة? #WordOfTheDay #NaTakallam

Relieved we get to keep #Careem. Mabrouk to the team!

Female jumping spiders are incorrigible cannibals. They eat the males, often. So a lab is testing whether putting face paint and fake eye lashes on the males change the way the females act around them . . . or whether they'll still be lunch. https://t.co/OjkTyFVXZO

[Christine Grové @StinaGrove]

Well this changes everything... 😱💁‍♀️
