  • Are you just going to ignore the racist and xenophobic talking points by Harris about how immigrants are bringing fentanyl to kill US citizens? Or Harris bringing up the factually incorrect claims about Hamas members and Palestinian men sexually assaulting Israelis, based on racist colonial tropes. Or how Harris was a top prosecutor that spent her entire career locking up minorities. I could go on and on, the entire debate consisted of the candidates trying to outdo each other with the amount of racism they were spewing.


  • Neutron Music Player for Android. Yes the UI is outdated, but the efficiency and feature set cannot be beat. It’s so efficient on battery life compared to both streaming music services like Spotify, or any other local music player Android app. And the feature set is incredible. The full parametric equalizer, built in frequency response correction for almost any headphone model you can name, volume normalisation, EQ presets, direct USB access to USB DACs to bypass Android volume or format limitations, crossfeed for headphones, and that’s just what I can think of now. I’m sure there are more features I haven’t even used yet.


  • In the case of the USS Georgia, it was converted from a ballistic missile submarine to a cruise missile submarine in the early 2000s. Which is part of the reason the Georgia needs to relocate to the Middle East to carry out it’s mission, as cruise missiles have a much shorter range than intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMS). While the Tomahawk cruise missiles onboard submarines used to have W80 nuclear warheads as part of their arsenal, these were officially retired in 2013. The 154 cruise missiles onboard currently have anti ship, anti ground, cluster munition and anti electrical infrastructure warheads. However the navy does want a new nuclear cruise missile. Also, this doesn’t really matter much, stealth fighters and bombers in the region from both the US and Israel are capable of carrying nuclear weapons like the B61. And ballistic missile submarines can launch nuclear strikes against pretty much any location on earth from any location on earth.

















  • Julius Malema supports LGBTQ+ liberation

    According to who? He may say some decent things now and again about LGBT people, but at the end of the day the EFF invited a well known homophobe from Uganda to give a speech at their anniversary, which led to LGBT people protesting outside the venue. This was right after Malema condemned Uganda’s homophobic laws, which makes the entire thing more perplexing. Now Malema is aiming to go into an alliance with Zacob Zuma and his new MK political party and has even said that he would accept Zuma joining the EFF. Zuma, among many other things, is a homophobe, and said homophobic things as recently as a few weeks ago. A few years ago the EFF were campaigning to throw Zuma in jail and force him to pay back the stolen money from corruption.

    As usual, the EFF does not have a consistent position here.

    Lumumba, who has been reported as supporting repression of gay people in Uganda, was invited by the EFF for the party’s ten-year birthday celebration who rented out the hall at UCT (University of Cape Town ).

    Triangle Project’s Ling Sheperd said: “UCT prides itself on being the top university in Africa and they always remind us that they are inclusive and diverse and are committed to transformation, so we find it quite hypocritical that they would have a platform for a known homophobic person.”

    “Professor Lumumba is very open about his homophobia and bigotry in general. And then the EFF leader Julius Malema was draped in a pride flag in solidarity with the Ugandans not so long ago, it’s just really baffling.”

    Lumumba has been a vocal supporter of an anti-homosexuality bill passed in Uganda. The bill recommends heavy sentences, including the death penalty, for homosexuality. The EFF held a picket against the bill last month.

    In an interview on DigiTalk TV, Lumumba said he was a homophobe and believed homosexuality could be cured.

    EFF leader Julius Malema previously responded to claims he “flip-flopped” after inviting Lumumba, saying: “You don’t censor a different opinion on your platforms simply because you disagree. Allowing different views makes a discourse even more exciting.”

    Are those the words of someone who “supports LGBTQ+ liberation”? Let’s be serious here.
