The USA's new push-me-pull-you backwards-forwards strike aircraft!
Known as the Gnu by pilots, they say it's easy to master who's in control, it just depends on which way the plane is flying.
With planes like these, which would never have flown without President DJT, how can the USA not win!

You can't judge a book by its cover - but this one looks and feels and carries itself in a way that seems like a budding 1930's style Nazi to me.

Every year a friend brings a bag of windblown oranges from his Midlands backyard orchard.
Trees left to fend for themselves all year round.
Blemishes, no two the same size, absolutely dripping with juice, and fabulously delicious.
A treat.

During the 2015 outbreak of Xenophobia in Durban, a Xhosa employee born in Mthatha, married to a Zulu man, who lived in KwaMashu for 30 plus years, was forced to flee her home because she was a "foreigner" in KZN, i.e. not Zulu.
Xenophobia has no boundaries. People stirring it up are evil.

From the tone of today's reporting, you'd think the Reform party had won the most council seats on the UK.

13 CEO's, 146 Board members and Jo'burg is an absolute shit show.
Plus an Exucutive Mayor, and the full council.
Layer upon layer of incompetence and extraction from the ratepayer funded fiscus.
Should be riots in the streets.

Just in case you thought North Korea's Dear Leader dream was theirs alone, here's the eThekwini ANC's best shot at it (well 50% of it, the other R11 millions worth is at the MM stadium).
OR Tambo in all his splendid pomp - and not a tourist to be seen visiting this expensive attraction.

Not sure if this is wise of SARU.
For a start we'll be fielding a really weak team when Trump doesn't let in any players of colour.
And then all the Afrikaans okes in the team split post game and claim asylum.
We'll see them playing for the USA in Australia in 2027.
No man, not smart.

Don't think the @SundayTimessa.bsky.social banner (and article headline) does justice to the powerhouse professional that attorney Emma Sadleir is.
If it was a male attorney I doubt they'd cast him as "dad" throughout.
She just took on and beat Meta.
Not many have.
Kudos to Emma Sadleir

Nice to see so many of our legislators, and aspirant legislators, happily ignoring the Information regulator's requirement to submit their PAIA reports by midnight tonight.

Really good to see - belies the assumption that nothing is being done about the State Capture crimes in South Africa.
Strength to IDAC and the NPA's arms.

Business does not resist transformation.
Business resists inefficiency.
The ANC government and SADTU have baked inefficiency into the majority of young South Africans with a 30% education system.
Fixing this will be fixing a big part of the problem.
