Interesting, there is a new #southafrica #covid #variant https://twitter.com/chrischirp/status/14.. Why the hell we have to get #important #news from #twitter is beyond me, but here it is un-screwed: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/14638.. Anyway, very little is known about this #variant as of yet, but it seems like it might be #vaccine #resistant ... Great.
I hate #smart #tvs - but this is a great win for #samsung who has been able to #disable #stolen TVs in #southafrica #johannesburg https://news.samsung.com/za/samsung-supp.. But to all others out there - this is exactly why we need non-smart TVs...
Interesting #podcast by #mikhailapeterson on the situation in #southafrica https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DR-oi7AX.. The only real criticism is that she didn't do enough homework to actually press him on issues, or even be a devil's advocate and allow him to defend himself against a straw-man. It's certainly interesting to hear things from the other side, and the guy's request for a fair trial is a reasonable one.
Been listening about the #southafrica situation from a #white #southafrican perspective: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkU5OC2D.. Very interesting. It's very screwed and #race driven.

#unemployment in #southafrica is at insane levels: https://www.iafrikan.com/2021/06/04/iafr.. This makes them at risk from a #debttrap from #china
