"The Polygamist" is predicted to be nominated at the Golden Global 2027
It would be the first time in history a South African based series is nominated, and only 2nd in history for a Series based in the African continent
Yall need to start being mean to people that are mean to YOU. Stop that bigger person shit.. Release your inner bitches or whatever Natasha Bedingfield said!๏ฟผ
I hate what Old School is doing and especially what they did to Kasi Flavor. A brand rooted in โStellenbosch heritageโ a place with deep colonial and apartheid history, now trying to commodify parts of South African culture it was never truly part of.
You canโt celebrate one cultural identity tied to that history and then turn around and package Black South African football culture and other local aesthetics as products for profit. It feels extractive, tasteless, and disconnected from the communities it borrows from.
Let me trace the timeline here because nobody's connecting it.
Step 1: Scrape the entire internet. Every book, every article, every conversation, every piece of art, every forum post. Do it without asking. Do it without paying.
Step 2: Train a model on all of it. Call it "artificial intelligence."
Step 3: Go to BlackRock's Infrastructure Summit and announce: "We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter."
Step 3 is where you sell people's own knowledge back to them. On a meter.
They took the collective output of human thought, compressed it into a model, and now they want to charge you by the token to access a version of what you and everyone you know already created.
One Reddit user put it perfectly: "They stole all this data from us, the people, our life's work, creativity, art, by devouring the internet and blowing through all copyright laws. Now they want to sell it back to us in the form of a utility."
Imagine if someone photocopied every book in the public library, burned the library down, and then opened a subscription service for the copies.
That's the metered intelligence business model.
And they're pitching it to infrastructure investors as though they invented water.
Afghan women need to kill the Taliban.
Itโs not a joke.
Itโs not going to be easy.
Many women will die in the process but ALL women in Afghanistan are liable to the same fate under the Taliban so it doesnโt matter.
They need to kill their oppressors.
