Clint Eastwood, 94-year-old vegan actor legend, formulated one of the most important lessons of his life so far for the young generation:
"Don't look for luxury in watches or bracelets, don't look for luxury in villas or sailboats!
Luxury is laughter and friends, luxury is rain on your face, luxury is hugs and kisses.
Don't look for luxury in shops, don't look for it in gifts, don't look for it in parties, don't look for it in events!
Luxury is being loved by people, luxury is being respected, luxury is having your parents alive, luxury is being able to play with your grandchildren. Luxury is what money can't buy."
We have reached the most technologically advanced moment in human history.
Mapped the genome. Landed probes on asteroids. Built artificial intelligence. Extended human lifespan. Put the world in our pockets.
And yet somehow, at the exact moment we know more than ever before, society has decided to unlearn biology, history, science, reason and observable reality…
…in favour of algorithm-fed ideological mumbo jumbo from people on social media who couldn’t distinguish their arse from their elbow.
Civilisation did not climb for thousands of years so that social media could convince us to become intellectually illiterate again.
And yet, here we increasingly are.
The older I get, the more I believe happiness lives in the ordinary. Pets. Plants. A quiet morning coffee. Blue sky. Cotton clouds. Birds singing. The gentle breeze through the trees. A clean, cosy house. Good food. Good hearted simple poeple. So much of life’s beauty is quiet, gentle, and already here. And somehow, one of the sweetest feelings is knowing I get to wake up and meet it all again tomorrow.

I generated the UI screens in ChatGPT with GPT Image 2, then used GPT-5.5 High in Codex to turn them into my own working personal dashboard.
Projects, Quick Capture, tasks, and social drafts in one place.
Made the demo video in Codex with @HyperFrames_.

you only get:
1 summer with them as a baby
3 as a toddler
5 as a child
3 as a preteen
6 as a teen
so let them run barefoot,
turn on the sprinkler,
cut up the watermelon,
chase fireflies under fading golden skies
because the summers of sticky hands, sun tired kids, and slow evenings filled with the sounds of childhood
do not last forever 🤍

Local Hermanus (South Africa) geomagnetic conditions reached extreme levels (K-index 9) at 02:00 Local Time due to a coronal mass ejection (CME) impact at Earth! Stay tuned for more space weather updates!
A female GPS-tracked European honey buzzard named "Päivi" flew from South Africa to Finland.
In 42 days she flew over 10,000 km.
That's 230 km per day.
If you’re using Google @antigravity on macOS, you are likely running it in slow motion without realizing it.
It seems to default to CPU rendering on some Macs.
Run this in your terminal to force-enable GPU rasterization and actually unlock the IDE's full speed:
open -a "Antigravity" --args --disable-gpu-driver-bug-workarounds --ignore-gpu-blacklist --enable-gpu-rasterization
Thank me later 🚀
This act has to be praised. Buying Curron for R7.2 billion and converting it from a listed private school business into a non-profit public benefit organisation is the single largest and most generous philanthropic act in South Africa’s history. At 79, having stepped back from business in 2018 after being diagnosed with dementia, and after founding Capitec and PSG, has chosen to spend his final active years of making South Africa richer rather make himself richer.
I know some people say things like, "Well, he's supposed to." Nobody is supposed to do anything, because we see people doing what they want to do everyday.
Now, instead of giving money to shareholders, Curro will reinvest all surpluses into building more schools and training more quality teachers. And the part that is closets to my heart, offering thousands of under privileged children bursaries, and expanding into rural areas where quality education is in shortest supply. (It's both a blessing a pity that an individual has to step in where the government fails.)
Of course, it goes without saying that critics will do what they do best, criticise. Humans are, after all, specialists at decorating even the most generous acts with suspicion. But the truth remains, thousands of children from underprivileged backgrounds who might never even know Jannie Mouton’s name, will have an opportunity that will change the course of their lives. That, to me, is breathtaking.
There is an old saying that I am about to butcher: great people plant trees even though they will never enjoy the shade themselves. Jannie Mouton has not just planted one tree, he has planted an entire forest for generations to come.
