Spike Island Cork was the largest prison in the world in the early 1850's.
It wasn't just men within its walls.
Boys as young as 12 made up 10% of the population.
Here are some of the stories of Ireland's youngest ever offenders 🧵 (1)

I will never stop being shocked at how badly the government administers and manages land in South Africa. The simplest tasks like issuing of title deeds and properly recording ownership (both of which can materially transform people's lives) often require decades of struggle. 1/n

Immigration officer asked me to tell them about my research and I was irritated so I told them I’m going to their country to present a paper about how standards in immigration regulation remain one of the few widely-accepted bastions of fascism

"Internal SAPS processes" is not good enough. These police officers need to be prosecuted in open court.
And then much wider reform of SAPS #VIPprotection is needed. Insane blue light culture of machismo, recklessness & impunity endangers all of us, including "principals"
[LATEST] The @SAPoliceService have traced the victims of the #VIPProtection incident. The process to obtain their statements continues as part of the probe. The police officers seen in the viral video have also been identified and will be subjected to internal SAPS processes.

This is weird to say out loud, but I actually am kinda an expert in rate limiting, so I'm gonna explain some stuff.
About half of incidents in large-scale production systems involve having more requests than you can serve. There are two categories of this kind of incident:

No wonder the church folks are flipping out and trying to make everyone believe the queers are the groomers. I am doing some research for an article and I honestly had no idea how widespread the institutional Christian molestation of children is.

Johnson has gone, protesting his innocence to the end. To understand what has happened it it vital to understand one critical thing, which is that he is a pathological liar. He lies continuously and has not the slightest idea that he is. Nor does he recall doing so. A thread…

I LITERALLY stopped working on my memo so I could read this indictment.
I am on page 24 and JESUS LUPITA NYONG'O CHRIST.
HOW this man still has the capacity to shock me after everything that's happened, i'll never know.
but I am sitting here *STUNNED*.

This is such a devasatating loss, for the country and a generation of kids, like me, who grew up worshipping Eusebius. I first met him in 1996. He was the deputy-head boy of my school, Graeme College. I was nine years old, in standard 2. He was my hero.

Farewell, dear Eusebius. We've lost a fiercely intelligent, independent and passionate active citizen. A defining voice in our political and social dialogue, you posed questions and posited solutions more bravely and eloquently than the rest of us would or could. I will miss you.

This meme is very very funny, but it is also inviting a serious explainer 🧵 from yours truly about 0 in Sinitic languages (there'll also be something funny later on). 😂 Let's go! 1/

I live in the Joburg CBD in a big old apartment with loads of sunlight and old wooden floors in a gorgeous old building. I pay a fraction of what I would pay for the same place in Killarney. I worked in housing and evictions for two and a half years. Also in the CBD

We have been investigating the death of #BabitaDeokaran for more than a year. We have exposed the Tembisa Hospital as a contract factory - beset by an extraction network of fake companies. A 🧵of what we have found.

My November post is about everyone's favourite language family: the Almost Romance languages.
Okay, so this may be a not-entirely-serious term that I've made up – but it has a purpose, and it's let me write about two languages I love.
Hope you like it!

I have just contacted the Eskom spokesperson by phone and received the following clear answers in respect of Eskom diesel supplies for the emergency diesel driven open cycle gas turbines at Gourikwa and Ankerlig:

So I just watched #WakandaForever last night. And I was fucking blown away not by the movie but because of exactly this tweet. Let me explain 🧵

do we have time for one last game? for your consideration, I present Last Days of Rome, a one page RPG about living in a doomed city with an emperor who is determined to burn it all down with everyone inside
