Can't you just make me a job offer based off a combination of my amazing vibes and the fact that l've already spent a solid hour on your glitchy ass website entering and re-entering the same info that is already on the resume you had me upload?

My brother is a scientist & regularly publishes papers. He has a nemesis on the other side of the world who doggedly publishes objections to his analyses. Few of us get to achieve this kind of professional beef in the 21st century & I find this enviable

Love to see a kid go from St George's Grammar school in Cape Town to become the mayor of New York fucking City.

I still can't believe we became adults during the most financially challenging time in history.

Amazing work from Sanlam and Discovery Vitality for stepping up to support all the runners of today’s Cape Town Marathon.

As the title sponsor, Sanlam has confirmed that all runners will be sponsored by them for 2026 and 2027 entries.

Discovery Vitality has confirmed that all runners enrolled in Vitality will still receive their 3,000 points and Team Vitality will still get a 25% discount on the entry fee.

This is far better than nothing! It’s a significant improvement over what the Cape Town Marathon trustees were offering runners, which was nothing.

Cancelling a race 24 000 people flew in & paid for an hour before the race then not only refusing to refund them, but making their tickets nontransferable to the next event is very filthy

In med school, I learned that Huntington's disease was one of the most devastating inherited conditions. It caused progressive neurological decline, starting around age 30. There was no treatment. Now, Huntington's has been treated for first time.

This is why we fund science.

When “white genocide” was trending in SA, did Helen ever call it a “big word”? Did she denounce it at all? Or does she only deny genocide, even with evidence, when it’s against black and brown folks?

There’s something called “paralysis by analysis” it happens when you spend so much time weighing your options, searching for the “perfect” way or overthinking every detail that you end up doing nothing at all. The fear of making the wrong move replaces the courage to simply start

nothing reminds you of your age like hearing new slang and realizing you have no idea what it means

this old lady just said to me “growth is realizing that someone’s inconsistency is a sign to step back, not a challenge to prove your worth” and i think y’all need to engrave this into your soul.

Bribery caught on camera 🤯 CEO offers R60k to stop investigation into R836m tender scandal and more. I’ve never seen anything like this on camera in SA. Congratulations to @PLMyburgh @dailymaverick. We are so lucky to have world-class investigative journalism in South Africa

"actually the child we starved to death was already sick and disabled" is such a strange thing to present as a defense

The decline in critical thinking and comprehension. Why?

I used to date someone who said I wasn’t capable of running my own practice because he’d had so many failed businesses in the past so I was “doomed to fail.”

One thing about me? I’m motivated by spite. I now own 2 successful medical practices with a full staff.

Most diets don’t work.
Restrictive eating is bad for you.
You can be larger bodied and have absolutely normal health metrics.
