If you're upset that I'm more political than usual, tough. The system is broken.

Silence is complicity.

Black people are dying at the hands of law enforcement worldwide. Whether it is in South Africa (#CollinsKhosa) or America (#GeorgeFlyod). #BlackLivesMatter #SayTheirNames

@CityPowerJhb And the Steve Street substation?

@coolideas_ZA any issue in Victory Park. My @vumatel device isn't detecting fibre.

Don’t call me. Don’t text me. Don’t show up on my front porch. Don’t even @ me. I’m reading tonight.🍿🍷

Someone leaked the entire Moms 4 Liberty private Discord chat and turned it into a website. https://t.co/f8SIIcg81e

These guys have to spread the lie that cops have been defunded. Because if they told the truth, which is that police funding has increased, we’d all have to conclude that cops don’t keep us safe.

@darren_olivier I'm sad that the Gripens haven't done a fly-by over my area. I've only had the Hawks so far which is already pretty cool, but they just aren't quite as cool as the Gripens.

Confirmed: Yes, Apple and Google require social media apps to have a block feature:

From Apple App Store guidelines:
"The ability to block abusive users from the service."

So, X/Twitter should not be able to remove the block feature.

Now, in one way, this is very bad news. Global warming is actually worse than we thought it was, we've just been shielding ourselves from it with /other pollution/. Similar effects have been seen when we turn off coal fired power plants.

There is no such thing as a free speech absolutist. There's just people who haven't thought much about speech.

So is the reason someone would do banking on X because they want to read right wing conspiracy tweets by the pizza gate guy while electronically depositing a check?

Or get stock tips from QAnon folks?

Or have neo-Nazis recommend whether a subprime mortgage is suitable for you?

Give me a break.

Your video is chock full of white supremacist dogwhistles, imagery of Black people and caricatures of “woke leftists” causing violence while you prance around with angry white men in front a building infamous for a lynching.

Your entire video promotes the Jim Crow “sundown towns” where good ole boys made sure no Black people came in and murdered them if they tried it.

“Small town” is just a euphemism for inadequate white men willing to cuck themselves for an orange Kremlin asset and to indoctrinate their kids into bigotry.

Where was the tough guy you portray when people were being murdered in Las Vegas and you ran offstage like a child?

Spare us your righteous indignation and take your KKK anthem down.

hi, everyone
today is my birthday!✨
and by tradition, I'll be very glad and happy if you retweet this post - this will be the best gift for an artist💜

@CityPowerJhb Thank you.

. @CityPowerJhb your technicians bypassed my father in-laws meter. When he reported it, instead of fixing it, your technician cut electricity completely instead of repairing it and then just closed ticket. Not a great way to treat an almost 80 year old. Please help. CPWEB3907593
