Dear heaven, such criminal lack of knowledge!

How does someone become an MD without a basic understanding the basics of how science is done?

About half from the US, only 5 from Africa, fewer than 20 from Europe. That's nuts.

One year ago I was planning my husband's memorial. I miss him beyond words. So wish I could hike up the Magaliesberg with him one more time.

Beautiful lilac-breasted roller - yep, I'm seriously missing the bush!

Oh, I have to take a bush trip soon!

The whole world knows this already. And he is so dangerous. His behaviour can do SO much harm to the instability, conflict and death toll in northern Nigeria et all. But you know this, too. Problem I see is, if he goes, his successor will use the same lying and simplistic narratives to win votes.

*snort*

Oh, it's lovely to see this Sophie-girl open up and really play! What the world needs now...

I've bn reading TP since the 80s. When I was a yoof, I thought he was "very funny". Now I find that comment a red flag: yes, he's funny, but if you don't see that the fundamental thing abt him is that he very funny IN THE SERVICE OF wild anger at injustice in any form, you don't know him at all.

Today on my bird-feeder: Red Bishops (the males' plumage change almost complete); Masked Weavers, Crested Barbet; Glossy Starling; Cape Sparrows; Redheaded Finch... I woke up to the Crested Barbet's trill, they'll be raising young in my garden again this year!

Good girl!

Yep. Now let's see Daily Maverick tackle what he hasn't done for the other - always ignored - part of his portfolio, Arts and Culture.

Immediate freaked out reaction: it's against our culture/religion! Unknot yr knickers, people: you can choose NOT to take yr wife's name, you know. Unlike women, who for many years HAD to take their husband's.
