Another @Action4SA failure.
Remember this when you vote.
The core parties forming the Tshwane coalition are:
• African National Congress (ANC)
• ActionSA
• Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF)
• GOOD
More than 400 cases of gastrointestinal illnesses have been reported in the east of Pretoria, mostly affecting young children. Tshwane Mayor Nasiphi Moya says officials at the Bronkhorstspruit Water Treatment Works failed to report the chlorine problem to the City, and they failed to alert residents that the water had not been chlorinated. Tune in to #eNCA on #DStv403.

Honestly, @DereleenJ’s campaign for Cape Town mayor is flopping, well, as it should. What exactly is she offering residents? Where is the solid manifesto? All we see are attacks on Geordin Hill-Lewis and attempts to make Coloured people believe the DA doesn’t care about them. Cape Town needs real solutions, not race-baiting and constant political mudslinging. Talk to people about what you’ll actually do for them.

This is what the EU "leadership" call a Hero.
A drugged up fraud, an actor, a Dictator a liar, a thief, a killer of his own people.
What does that tell you about those European "leaders?"

🚨 إيلون ماسك يسحق بيل جيتس علناً: "مؤسس مايكروسوفت لا يمتلك أي معرفة علمية حقيقية.. وكان يؤكد لي استحالة صنع شاحنة كهربائية بينما كانت بيبسي تقودها بالفعل!"
في قصف هائل للجبهات يكشف كواليس صراع عمالقة التكنولوجيا، يفضح ماسك حقيقة النقاشات المغلقة مع بيل جيتس:
🗣️ "تظن أن شخصاً أسس عملاقاً كـ مايكروسوفت يمتلك أساساً علمياً صلباً.. لكن من واقع احتكاكي المباشر به، معرفته العلمية ضعيفة جداً!"
📌 القصة الكاملة للصدمة:
عندما زار جيتس مصنع تيسلا، جزم باستحالة صناعة شاحنات نقل كهربائية طويلة المدى.. رغم أن شركة PepsiCo كانت تشغلها بالفعل في الشوارع!
وعندما سأله ماسك بتحدٍ هندسي بحت:
🔹 "هل المشكلة في كثافة طاقة البطارية أم في استهلاك الشاحنة للطاقة؟ ما هو الرقم الخاطئ برأيك؟ وما هي الأرقام الصحيحة؟"
النهاية؟ بيل جيتس لم يستطع تقديم رقم علمي واحد أو نسبة دقيقة! ليختصر ماسك المشهد بعبارة قاطعة:
"إذا كنت لا تعرف أبسط أرقام الكثافة أو الطاقة، كيف تجرؤ على جزم استحالة ما صنعه المهندسون؟"
العلم لا يُبنى بالهيبة أو النفوذ السياسي.. بل بالأرقام الهندسية الصارمة التي لا تكذب أبداً.

Elon Musk becomes deeply moved, and deadly serious, when Bret Baier asks him why he called Sen. Mark Kelly a "Traitor" for pushing to send more US aid and weapons to Ukraine.
Watch every second of his response.
"We should have empathy for the thousands of people dying everyday in the trenches. For no movement in the lines. For the past two years thousands of people have died every week for nothing."
"I take great offense at those who put the appearance of goodness over the reality of it. Those who virtue signal and say we can't give into Russia, but have no solution to stopping thousands of kids dying every day."
"I have contempt for such people and I want to make that clear. Because they're virtue signaling and their lack of a solution means that kids don't have a father. It means parents lost a son. For what? Nothing."

Elon Musk explains why charging your EV to 100% on a road trip is a mistake:
On a road trip, your instinct is to fill the battery all the way up.
That's how you'd treat a gas tank.
But a battery doesn't work like a gas tank.
Charge to about 80%. Drive it down to 10% or less. Repeat.
This is just for long trips, when you want to spend as little time at the charger as possible.
Elon: "Getting from 80 to 100, it takes about as much time as getting from 0 to 80."
The reason is what's happening inside the battery.
Lithium ions travel from one side to the other, looking for a place to settle.
Think of them as cars hunting for a parking spot.
When the lot is empty, they zip right in.
As it fills up, they have to circle around, like at a packed mall.
So the closer the battery gets to full, the slower it charges.
The last few spots take the longest to find.

Back from a week in CT. Was great, water in every tap, all the time. What a city. Turned on the taps here, on return: no water. So I guess that makes it 6 weeks without water, going into 7 next week. Just is normal now, no water. What a city.

Hôtel de Ville de Limoges was built in 1883.
Third World invaders destroyed it in an afternoon.

How much effort they put into a movie but you never get to see the behind the scenes just like a father whose hard work is unseen.
The whole crew and actors, no matter how much they earn, it's their right
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The video is an AI-generated fake presented as real behind-the-scenes footage of Titanic or any film.

While we were asleep, Elon Musk launched a flying car, the new Tesla Roadster!
It doesn’t have wings like an airplane or rotor blades like a helicopter. It uses thrust from high pressure compressed air thrusters (SpaceX tech), just like a rocket or spaceship, to take off and maneuver.
It goes from 0 to 60 mph (0–97 km/h) in about 0.8 seconds.
Elon said the top speed should exceed 0.5 Mach (half the speed of sound, roughly 380+ mph/over 600 km/h).
Production is set to start in 2028.
Tesla invited a live audience to the unveiling so people wouldn’t dismiss the stunts as AI. The car performed wild moves: driving upside down on a ramp (using a suction system), flipping and hovering in the air, jumping over other Teslas, and landing cleanly….

These 3.5 seconds did more to fortify American Identity than any establishment politician or political party in the last generation.
100 years of neoliberal rule was vaporized in 3.5 seconds.
Rejoice, we are still America. 🇺🇸

Terrible news coming out of France.

I got tired of all the spam calls I was getting so I had @bot find my number listed on sites and file the removals. I made it a free skill so you can do the same. x.ai/bot/fUj6TYhiW_cjtzWvbsF…
