Soft, dreamy sunlight streaming through the leaves, birds singing and a calm stillness all around. Walking through the magical urban forest of The Wilds in Johannesburg always does wonders for my wellbeing 😊🎋🦎🦉

I honestly can’t work out how we’ve still got another two weeks of January to go but yet Christmas was about 4 months ago.

I hate to burst everyone's bubble but if you think that CBS News losing ratings or prestige matters to David Ellison, you're mistaken. Murdoch ran the NY Post for 45 years without turning a profit. They want these media companies to pump propaganda, not to get ratings or make money.

New, from me: A year in, did DOGE deliver on its promises?
Not the promises it made to us (cut spending, modernize government, improve services). It worsened state capacity.
But it was part of a successful broligarchy exercise in state capture. 🧵

Josh awakened slowly. The last thing he remembered was the glint of the axe as it came down, and then... darkness. Where was he? Why was he naked? Why the hell couldn't he feel his limbs? As his vision cleared, he looked down. That's when he saw the nails. Josh began to scream.
