"Everyone wants a clear-cut hero or a clear-cut villain. That's not the case in real life. A lot of people serve their country honorably at one point and then take a dark turn. They're lured by greed and lust for power, then contained by blackmail and bribes." -- @gaslitnation

Meet Germany's new Agriculture Minister with his certificate of appointment clipped on the baggage rack of his bike. I kid you not.

How will #Twitter survive a ban on ‘artificially amplifying information’. That’s like banning beer in a brewery. #Ghislaine – at Durbanville, South Africa

The Ghislaine Maxwell Trial is one of the most important events happening right now. It’s hardly touched by the mainstream media and now… The most prominent account covering it has been suspended. @Twitter what are you doing?

Walked past our fellow booksellers @Dauntbooks Marylebone at 7am this morning, in the rain, on the way to the station. The whole scene looked like it was painted by Van Gogh.

Thank you, Dianne Mahlangu at #Nedbank Insurance, for yr brilliant service. Your warmth & efficiency swept away my anger and frustration. There’s just one more issue: the fees and charges I incurred through no fault of my own. When the admin system is to blame, who’s responsible? – at Durbanville, South Africa

Some of the 40+ million victims of slavery today are forced to produce the clothes we wear, the food we eat, or construct the buildings we live and work in. I call on countries, civil society and the private sector to strengthen collective action to end slavery.

South Africa’s virologists are hardened after years of battling HIV. The travel ban is like blaming the burglar alarm for the robbery. I know the Prime Minister needs to appear in control, but all he’s done is create misery at Christmas.

This new variant, B.1.1.529 seems to spread very quick! In less than 2 weeks now dominates all infections following a devastating Delta wave in South Africa (Blue new variant, now at 75% of last genomes and soon to reach 100%)
