This strikes a chord with me. I know I was most certainly "loud and wrong" at various times when I was younger. Now I'm definitely right, of course. And loud.

Sending an email requiring action and confirmation while having out of office set so you get an automated response is a kind of power play, and I'm not here for it.

I'd say it is uniquely South African for an airline to announce flights are cancelled indefinitely overnight, but weirdly enough, it isn't. Still flipping annoying though.

What an intriguing medical mystery! Guess we’ll never know the answer to this one!

Many of the people who called COVID health restrictions "fearmongering" in the early pandemic are the same ones trying to make people terrified of vaccines which demonstrably save lives. It's quite revealing.

I saw this nonsense floating around a conspiracy nut board, and it made something click for me: These folks are basically operating on cinematic epistemology. They believe what would be true if the news were a Hollywood movie.

Both this post itself, and the update below, are important. Read them. They will make your day better.

A bad poem: Fancy new TV! Unpack TV See scratches and bubbling on screen Google to make sure I'm not an idiot failing to remove a plastic cover Mark item for return 10 minutes after arrival Repack TV Fancy new TV :(

Thanks for reaffirming my varied tastes with the #SpotifyWrapped playlist, @spotify.

Is watching the 1984 Ghostbusters movie killing people? Recent data show death rate of 10-59yr olds who have watched the 1984 Ghostbuster Movie is 2x higher than those who have watched the 2021 Ghostbuster movie I don't know how to explain this other than movie-caused mortality

It turns out Iron Maiden is one of the most versatile bands Spotify has ever heard of - they fit in any mix!

See, this is why I find it very difficult to support the DA (apart from their very uneven running of Cape Town as a municipality). Seriously, how can this kind of thing be acceptable?

Anyone who's more worried about the "untested long-term effects of vaccination" (vaccines are a normal part of public health) than the long-term effects of COVID (an actual virus) needs to take a good hard look in a mirror.

So stoked to be able to be vaccinated this morning. It's been a long wait (though justified for those more at risk to be vaccinated first). I was in and out in 75 mins at Old Mutual in Pinelands. It's one of the most improtant things you can get done today, younglings!

Say it louder for the people in the back.

- Something is out, and that Something is the first track from my first EP. Watch the music video for 'Something' and stream the single now --> https://t.co/5pxIfcBU5I Spotify --> https://t.co/B7KbG11O0D @ecr9495 @KFMza @MFM926 @AlgoaFM @5FM

Rich countries: apply third and fourth vaccine shots to populations despite global vaccine availability issues. Yet another new variant develops due to low vaccination availability in poor countries and causes more infections in rich countries. Rich countries:

I think I may know why white people are so upset about this Dr. Seuss/cancel culture thing. I was reminded of this story today. It goes back to the second-most devastating day of my life: The day I found out the Hardy Boys were white. A thread

Trump is fruition not aberration. If (white) America does not abandon exceptionalism myth & the delusion of “This is not my America” & “We are better than this” the US as we know it is finished. Alarmist? Hysterical?Yeah that’s what we heard when we warned Trump was a fascist

Storming the US Capitol is the most Karen of protests - a bunch of white folks forcing their way into an office to speak to the manager because the special someone told them about wasn't actually happening. And recording themselves doing it.
