Sometimes (always) Apple Comes In With Old Innovation
it’s comical at this point…
Have you ever wanted to move your icons anywhere on your screen? Well, that’s been standard on Android since 2014.
Apple made a big deal about this new level of customization like they did something! LOL!
I will always respect Apple for their hardware and how seriously they take on-device security, but c’mon! This ‘new’ feature is ridiculous.

Academia Finally Is Giving Lyricism Its Flowers 💐
from a genre that was frowned upon to the subject of many a thesis…
Hip-hop is making waves in higher education, with universities like Georgetown and Harvard offering courses dissecting the genre's rich lyrical content. In 2024, this academic trend has evolved, recognizing the merit of hip-hop across its five-decade history.
Hip-hop's lyrical depth is now a focal point in higher education. Dr. A.D. Carson at UVA explores Southern and global hip-hop through Black studies, while Ohio State's Dr. View addresses controversial lyrics and the genre's gospel links.
J Rawls, also at Ohio State, highlights hip-hop's historical and social justice aspects. This academic embrace underscores hip-hop's cultural significance and ability to provoke critical thought.

We’ve Got A Government Of National Unity!
what does that mean though?
Based on a media statement released by the ANC yesterday (17 June) the lineup is about to be packed.
Five parties have officially signed the Statement of Intent to participate in the GNU :
The ANC, Democratic Alliance (DA), Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP), GOOD, and the Patriotic Alliance (PA). This collective represents 273 seats in the National Assembly (NA) or 68% of the seats in the NA.
Will there be a lot of in-fighting? Of course! Will it be entertaining? You can bet your bottom Randela!
The biggest question is though. What does this mean for the person on the street? That’s a little complicated to answer right now because Cyril still needs to select his cabinet.
