Reminder: the sincere love & grace that you extend to folks around you for their mistakes? For them feeling low? That's good; the world needs it. You know what's simultaneously true? You get to extend sincerity of love & grace to yourself, too. Because you, too, are deserving.

Chinese president Xi Jinping is going to eat Donnie's breakfast, I suspect. Trump underestimates Chinese pride and clout. This bully-boy isolation game ain't going to end well. #PrayForAmericans

It turns out the hard part of programming is trying to figure out how to update something without breaking it. "Changing the engine in a car while it's speeding down the highway" as they say.

The incredible insouciance of the 'Chief Executive' of 30 years of #ANC political party failure to deliver growth in South Africa. Rejecting out of hand a plea and recommendation from CEOs who successfully run enormous companies. Overweening hubris. businesstech.co.za/news/governm...

White South African here. At no risk of being genocided. But I continue to be mystified that the courts in our country, including the apex Constitutional Court, refuse to concede that the supposed 'struggle song' using the words, 'Kill the boer, kill the farmer' is not hate speech.

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

The controversy over Lamar’s performance highlights the hypocrisy around the DEI backlash; experts say the term has come to serve as a modern-day slur wielded against people of color, while at the same time, the people offended by it see themselves as being victims of a lack of diversity.

There's a saying in the east, that where western psychology ends, eastern psychology begins. The same seems to apply to #neuroscience research in which the focus is on the brain (considered to be hardware in the east) and nothing about the mind (software).

Got to give credit to South African governing party, the ANC, for their stellar corruption levels. Pulling off a failure of this magnitude takes real talent. Imagine if they applied those same er, cough, 'entreprenurial' skills in an ethical way? mybroadband.co.za/news/energy/...
