Unbelievably, Spotify have made their app experience worse. Now I have to avoid a big X next to all the songs playing. Do you even use @Spotify Spotify?

A fractal media defilement of AI slop on how to generate AI slop. This is the way useful content ends not with a bang but a whimper.

Yet another safe long distance trip on Inkwazi, the aircraft that the govt claimed just a few years ago was too old, too unreliable, and too small to serve as a presidential VIP aircraft for South Africa. https://t.co/oGI5sLWhlS The people making those claims still hold office.

What I see here are crocodile tears of manufactured outrage by politicians during Stage 5 load shedding before a looming general election, who blame everyone except themselves for the dire state of electricity, water, sewage, health, rail and road infrastructure in SA.

At least we’re not wasting time on those pesky water and electricity problems.

Great documentary I just happened upon last night. Well worth a watch.

Hi @Discovery_SA Bank, interest rates went up by .75 percent, but you only increased the savings rate by .50 percent. But when rates went down you lowered interest by the full repo rate change. That’s a hidden fee. You used to be fair, now you’re just cheating us.

Thanks @arcadefire for spending 515 minutes with me in 2022. I couldn’t stop listening to Unconditional I (Lookout Kid). #SpotifyWrapped

Drinking and eating Bitcoins.

N$65 for this package, valid for 7 full days. That’s R65 for 700 minutes, 3GB data, and more. @MTNza @Vodacom @TelkomZA why are you so much more expensive???

How do I like my eggs? In a vaccine, thank you very much.

I don't think I've curated a more beautiful, compelling or appropriate playlist. This is "2020". Enjoy the journey. Spotify: https://t.co/JU2ZhVM3Eq Apple:

The gazetted extension of the national state of disaster is invalid. It extends an extension of the 15 August, which makes it self referential and incorrect. https://t.co/fvs4oL4miy

Reducing operational windows for businesses, transport, and exercise during lockdown, compresses people together and creates potential infection hotspots.

Exercise outside your home only allowed between 6am and 9am. Government really is making up this crap on the fly.

Someone recently described Level 4 as Level 5 but with cigarettes. Now I really don't know the difference.

My faith in Cyril wanes once more when he lets Dlamini-Zuma walk back his statements. A lot more embarrassing than struggling to put on a face mask.
