A FIFA World Cup host country must guarantee two fundamental principles: the safety of the country — and the unrestricted entry of all qualified teams, officials and referees. The case of referee Omar Artan from Somalia is against one of these obligations. FIFA must never compromise the universality of football. #Fifa #Somalia #GianniInfantino #CAF #OmarAtan #DonaldTrump

extremely interesting coincidence that both SA & Ireland are loudly anti-israeli imperialism and are now getting that reputation besmirched by being rampantly xenophobic/afrophobic. just a coincidence tho nothing deeper at play...

This town is stupid

I haven’t seen a person wearing an ANC T-shirt in Durban in months now that I think about it. As it stands I think the ANC will be the third biggest party in next years elections eThekwini. The problem with the MK is that it’s still recycled ANC people. Their performance in the legislature and parliament has been abysmal and I shudder to think how they will run the city which is so incredibly complex. This city could be so world class but if their performance in the last 14 months is anything to go by then I am extremely concerned.

I am surprised at the DAs general strategic development in the last few weeks, especially here on X. I have always regarded them as underachievers in the strategy and conflict competency categories, making up for that in other, more visible categories such as service delivery and being not-the-ANC. I somehow thought that the GHL upgrade, the Steenhuisen marginalization and the high stakes in the Jozi / local elections would inspire them to find that higher gear that I have been waiting to see. But, not so. The same pedestrian thinking, 80s strategic playbook and that continual inability to adopt anything new and inspirational. Some of that comes from a section of their leaders and advisors, some of it from a directional paralysis, incoherent messaging and a few other structural errors. I thought that the new team would at least show signs of improvement, but so far, precious little to see. I don't quite buy the narrative that they are "ANC-lite", but they needed to manage the GNU conundrum more skillfully, they are showing zero progress on the crucial coalition challenges, their messaging is increasingly blurred, they pick the most unnecessary and counterproductive hills to die on, and some of their online advisors and advocates are seemingly in a competition to be the most unlikeable, blundering poster on X. Surprising, disappointing, and coming at a time when they, and the rest of South Africa, can ill-afford another underachieving political party

#MaineSenate TPSI: “Shockingly, when voters are informed of sexual assault rumors, Platner improves, leading by 8.1%” “This confirms suspicions that Democrats may be looking for their own Trump. Even more surprisingly, 75% of voter age 18-29 support Platner after being informed of the rumors.”

Beauty is in the eye of the bee holder, or whatever. I don't understand why people can't grasp the fact that some people have different tastes than others and that looks and beauty are subjective. Some folks think kratos is a tan and others would rather die than be with a bald ma
