"Earn R100k online!"
"10x your money in 1 month!"
Scammers don’t win because they’re smarter than you. They win because they understand you. They know how to create urgency. Curiosity. Excitement. Trust.
By the time you realise it…it’s too late.
Introducing: Slam the Scam. 🧵

Embarrassed to admit I didn’t know about this book. Fixing that immediately — straight to @ExclusiveBooks after #PulseConference2026.
@mikestopforth you are an absolute showman. Insightful, engaging, and impossible to ignore #pulseconference26

Before AI coding agents, I'd constantly have 2 or 3 side-projects that I would struggle to finish
AI completely changed the game
Now I have 15-20 unfinished side-projects

Nothing bonds South Africans quite like the shared trauma of a Home Affairs queue.

The Funniest Golf Story of My Life - a thread to brighten up your Tuesday.
Technically, it’s a golf story. But really, it’s a story about chaos disguised as golf.
A few years back we arrived early, painfully early, like 6:45 early, to play Serengeti Golf Course near OR Tambo.

Modern parenting: my dog gets free-range, grain-free, air-dried, veterinary-approved, probiotic-infused amino-balanced R400/mg meals. My kid gets chicken nuggets and vibes.

I shudder to think about the volume of sales Woolworths has lost due to its app experience (or lack thereof).

Christ Almighty I have lived to see Ernie Els commenting on transformation and foreign policy on live television in the White House.
I won't be taking comments at this time.

Tonight, two fading forces meet under global scrutiny.
A clash of egos. A battle for relevance. Two underperforming leaders with histories of poor decisions, trying to reclaim their former glory under extreme pressure.
Ramaphosa vs Trump?
Nah. Spurs vs United.

Anybody else having issues with @Discovery_SA Bank KYC process? App throws up repeated errors, I've spoken to call centre agents three times and been assured it's resolved, I've submitted documents twice via email, and now access to my facilities has been limited. Help!

Saw so many folks from the pre-2010 internet era tonight. It both made me feel old, and reminded me of how amazing it was to come up in that time. Thanks @MarkSham @RichMulholland - what an epic night. @mikestopforth let’s bring it back 😉
