Pirates' last night 2-1 loss to Mamelodi Sundowns sucked and could have serious implications for the title battle.
But NUFC's demolition of Qarabag in the Champions League eased the pain a little, particularly that first half performance.

RIP JvdB.
His role in Don't trust the B*tch in Apartment 23 was fantastic - an all-time top 3 fictionalised-version-of-the-actor performance.

Here's the beautiful, melancholy-infused, piano version of the Dawson's Creek theme song that was used for season 5, episode 4, that revolved around the death of a character.
RIP James Van Der Beek (48).

Musk left South Africa in 1989. He actively seeks to undermine our democratic republic. He is one of the most prominent members of the US ruling class and primarily self-identifies as such. While he causes problems for us, he is not our problem. You people created him, you deal with him.

South Africans demand an end to the fuel blockade & economic embargoes of Cuba. We call on our gov to deepen economic and political ties & ensure BRICs does the same.
We honour Cuba's internationalism & the role it played in the region's liberation & stand with them in the face of US aggression.

The white supremacist Vryheidsfront+ has:
- actively undermined SA's constitution supporting Northern Cape independence
- welcomed the US's kidnapping of the elected head of state of Venezuela & congratulated them
- condemned SA foreign policy, specifically on Israel
But remains a part of the GNU?

Netanyahu tweeting that Epstein was not an Israeli intelligence asset proves beyond reasonable doubt that he was in fact an Israeli intelligence asset, probably a General in the Mossad.

This probably won't impact subscriber numbers, but it is bad news that sport content acquisitions have been removed from Supersport and are now in Paris.
Also, Canal+/MultiChoice assurances to competition and communication regulators were a tissue of lies.

SA Government seems committed to destroying this industry - non-payment of DTI subsidies, SARS's dismissal of creative industry taxation international best-practice, Zionist Mackenzie's incoherent Arts & Culture policy and whatever iteration of broadcast policy that DCDT is currently working on
Just a few years ago, the local film industry was booming. South African production was at record levels and getting global recognition. We were one of the world’s darling destinations for shooting foreign productions
