#iThongaMzansi analysis 🧐 The dreams symbolized Sanele's deep struggle with letting go of his brother. In general, letting go of a loved one is difficult, but in Sanele's case, it was something he had to do-though deep down, he didn't want to. Even in the dream, Sanele told Banele... that they would always be together and that he would never let go of him. Sanele was given specific instructions regarding the ritual, but he didn't follow all of them properly. He was told never to look at the coffin, and the blanket was meant to shield him from seeing the coffin. While this worked to some extent, when Sanele looked back at the grave at the end, and Banele's hand crept out, it symbolized the darkness that would follow him. A part of me feels that Sanele wanted to look back, as if he couldn't resist, while another part of me feels that it was a mistake-an unintended moment that sealed his fate. It also represents Banele's spiritual presence, constantly following Sanele everywhere. Additionally, Ntanzi's outfit at the funeral speaks volumes. I could be wrong, but it seems to symbolize the blood he has spilled. I love how wardrobe also plays a pivotal role in the storyline, adding layers of meaning to the narrative.show more

Honoring the Memory of Steven Sotloff, of Blessed Memory Today, we remember Steven Sotloff, a courageous Jewish journalist whose life was tragically taken by ISIS a decade ago. His bravery and dedication to truth continue to inspire us. The greatest tribute we can offer is to ensure that terrorist groups like ISIS, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah, the Houthis, and their ilk are eradicated. Our mission is clear: to make this world safer for all—except those who seek to destroy it through terror. Who stands with us in this fight?

#iThongaMzansi - Analysis…👀 I think this scene perfectly explains what iThonga means. The little sister asks why they are not mourning Banele’s death, and the explanation given is that Banele isn’t truly dead because his spirit lives on through Sanele. According to my research , iThonga refers to someone who is believed to be dead but continues to exist in the world of the ancestors. This means Banele is still “alive” through Sanele and will only be completely dead when his twin brother, Sanele, also passes away. For me, this suggests that Banele has a hold over his brother, influencing his actions. Many of the things Sanele does ,especially those that seem out of character will likely be driven by Banele acting through him. As a result, Sanele will have both a good side and a darker, more dangerous side. I believe his eventual involvement in the construction business will bring out both of these sides. There’s also something about Zama, but I won’t reveal it now, it’s a huge spoiler! 🤭

Toto Wolff admits he was relieved Lewis Hamilton chose to leave so he never had to make that call Dax: "Was there any part of you that was relieved that Lewis decided to leave, so you never had to make that decision?" Toto: "Absolutely. I couldn't make the decision from a personal standpoint. We owe him so much. I didn't want to make the decision as Mercedes letting the greatest champion ever go. And maybe he felt that also" "He knew that Antonelli is in the pipeline. It was something I almost had in the back of my mind that that would happen" "It still feels weird that he's going to wear a Ferrari overall next year and drive the red car. It's a bit surreal. But we had this 17-year-old in the pipeline, I didn't want to miss out on him like I did with Max back in the day"

"It is tough again, given what Bernie has meant to the movement, but this pattern of him potentially prioritizing personal relationships -- whether it was his unwillingness to be as strident and condemnatory of Joe Biden in the context of the 2020 election, repeating that he was a good guy and he would be a good president, that while he wanted to win, Biden would do fine too -- and now, being to the right of your average sort of, I've Got to Have it wine mom podcaster in wanting Chuck Schumer to stay in this role. I mean, I think I also saw a clip from Charlemagne the God saying that Schumer has to go."

Quentin Tarantino recounts a dinner with Robert De Niro during the making of Jackie Brown, where he asked him whether he understood when he landed the role of Vito in The Godfather Part II, that it would change his life. De Niro’s answer revealed a great deal about his mindset at the time. “I was working with Robert De Niro on Jackie brown, and we went out to dinner once. - When he got Vito in the Godfather Part II, that was going to be a big thing for him. He won the Oscar for it - it set him up to be a movie star. So I asked him - and I've asked this to quite a few actors when it comes to when they got the role that would end up changing their career - did he realize that the moment when he got the role, that it would have this sort of effect? And he goes oh, “I tried not to let it do that. I tried not to think about that” I go, "really? and why did you try not to think about that?" “Well because I’ve seen it happen and then go the other way” And then he used an example. “There was this guy, he was a young actor, and he was part of our crowd in New York. He'd been doing okay, but we were all in the same boat. Then all of a sudden he got a lead role. He's one of the two leads in a brand new movie by a director who had just done a smash hit.” And he's talking about Larry Pierce (the director) and uh... Goodbye Columbus. ”And he started dining out on it. And all of a sudden I go to the places that we used to go to, and now he's there and everyone's kind of revolving around him. He's kind of holding court. He's not doing anything bad; he's just arisen in the way that none of us have - and we're all treating him different. Then the movie comes out; nobody likes it - The movie comes out, and it goes away, and he's exactly in the same place he was. And I just wanted to make sure that that would never happen to me because I watched it happen to him.” Quote from Video Archives Podcast, sourced from James Whale Bake Sale YouTube channel. Clip below from the Godfather Part II (1974)

Lara Trump reveals President Trump’s UNEXPECTED reaction the night he left the White House in 2021: “He told all of us that he wanted to have dinner that night. And none of us really knew how that would go. And the first thing he did, before he even sat down at the dinner table, is he looked around at all of us and he goes, ‘Well, kids, I’ve got to do it again.’” “Any one of the things that he had against him, especially in the four years in between terms, would have been enough for one person to say, ‘You know what? That’s it. I’m out of this. I’m never going to do it again.’ But he never gave up. He continued to fight for what he wanted, but what he, I think, knew was right to do.”

On the 13th of Sept, someone transferred 180k for an iPhone Xs 256GB. After acknowledging his receipt, he called, and I told him we don't have it but will ask colleagues and let him know. I asked my friend, and he told me 190k. I begged him to leave it at 180k because that is what the guy deposited (check frame 2 for reference). When he sent the phone from Kano to Jos, then I noticed it was an Xs Max. Seeing that the guy was in a hurry and didn't want to disappoint, I called him and told him what happened and said if he wants the Max, he can take it at no additional cost. I was willing to settle the difference because it was his first time buying from us. I packaged it with a new premium charger because all our used phones are sent packaged in our branded box with a charger, and I sent it to him in Abuja. He later messaged that he has received the phone and truly appreciates it. After months of not receiving any complaints from him, it clearly indicates that he has received a fully functioning phone. It is in our policy that if you find anything faulty within one week, you can return it to us and either ask for a replacement or refund. What this means is that the cost of bringing it from Kano to Jos, the packaging and charger, and the delivery to Abuja are all a loss to me. But I didn't mind because at least I have satisfied him. Nine weeks later, while I was in Kano, I saw a call from an unknown number. When I picked up, he said it was him. He told me that the camera has started giving him problems. I told him it has been months since you bought it, but you can take it to any repair store and tell me how much you spent, and I will pay. He asked if I know anyone, and I sent him someone's number. The guy didn't pick; he texted and informed me and later called me. I told him to go to anyone he trusts and let me know the amount he spent. A few days later, I was stranded between Kaduna and Abuja on my trip from Kano to Abuja because my car engine failed. He called, and I didn't pick; I don't even know his number. Later in the night, I received his messages on WhatsApp with a threat that he will make a video to tarnish the image of my business. Someone I was willing to help after months of buying a USED device from me is threatening me. I said he should go ahead because I can't entertain him anymore. In conclusion, a trade that I incurred a loss from is what some people are trying to justify as a scam. The beautiful part is I have made trades with hundreds of people here, and I would love two more people to come out and present a case in which they are still using a device I sold to them that is faulty and they contacted me for a replacement or refund, and I didn't do it instantly. "The hypocrite will always look for faults" - Ghazali. Those that are looking for a fault in me can justify something as woke as this; it doesn't matter. This is my own side and will no longer entertain him anymore. For those that believe in me without hearing from me, thank you so much.

James Vowles once again about how Carlos work ethic and skills have helped make the FW47 faster “Alex said it really well in a recent interview i saw, he said which driver would you choose as an engineer he would choose carlos, by the way so would I” “He really has an understanding of how to breach engineering language into one that is applicable towards drive and car performance. Very very strong” “It would come from the fact he’s worked with a number of teams up and down the grid but is also work ethic that goes hand in hand with that” “Within the first few months.. he was back in Grove at 8:30am before I turned up.. and he already had 15 aerodynamicists around him working through the details of it all” “What I imply is that he left Monaco probably at 5 in order to be able to do that, but it was important to him to link out world to his world and produce a car that is faster in the future” ✨

Andrew Bridgen told me that in January 2022 someone offered him anything he wanted in the world to shut up about the vaccines, and they put it in a text message because they had apparently never had anyone turn it down before. He assumed they had made that offer to a lot of elected representatives and it had always worked. He said no. By November of that year he was having conversations with colleagues he had worked alongside for twelve years, and one of them told him privately that he thought Andrew was right. This was a man who had taken two Pfizers, gone to the gym, had chest pains, taken himself to the hospital, and been told he had already had two heart attacks. Andrew asked him to stand with him anyway, to protect the children, and the man said no. Andrew still doesn't fully know why. Some leverage they had on him, he assumed, something the man wasn't going to share. He told me he didn't go into politics to allow children to be murdered or injured when he could do something about it, and that was his answer when they came to him with everything he could want. They couldn't believe anyone would refuse. Can't believe the hubris? Believe it... Andrew Bridgen

Why Elon didn't want to be CEO: "[Elon] is at core, an engineer and a product guy. He has this great line where he said: "I realized you couldn't be fully in control of the product unless you were also in control of the company." He says he made a moral error, early in Tesla, where he was trying to have his cake and eat it too. He wanted to control the company without running the company. And that was the 2002 to 2008 era, where Tesla was just off to a really messy start. He was providing the funding. He was chairman of the board. But Martin Eberhard was CEO. Eventually, when Tesla was on the verge of death in 2008....Elon was pushed into the position of: "I have to be CEO. I don't want to be. It comes with a lot of chores. It comes with a lot of responsibilities. But if I want this company to be successful, I have to fully internalize and take responsibility for it." And that's what he did, even though he was also in the same position at SpaceX. The fact that these companies are improbable, iconic, and that he funded and led them both in parallel...it's like running a two minute mile twice at the same time. It is such a higher degree of difficulty than most people can conceive of, and the fact that it worked is still unbelievable."

Dwyane Wade says LeBron had to go back to Cleveland to cement his legacy in 2014: “I never even thought me and LeBron would be teammates first of all. It was never a dream of mine. I loved when we played against each other. We went at eachother. When we got an opportunity to do that, it was special. When he was ready to go back home, he got my blessings 100%. He needed to go back home to win a championship for his city. A part of his legacy, he needed that. It wouldn’t have been enough just winning in Miami.”

🎥 Even Yutaka Take, after all his years in the saddle, has said that Do Deuce was an unusual horse. What surprised him was that a horse with such an extremely high-pitch running style could still handle 2400m and 2500m. That’s why Take has said Do Deuce’s sustained power was remarkable. He has also said in various places that Do Deuce was difficult to ride — a horse who didn’t always show his true ability, and one he never fully figured out, right to the very end. And yet, Take has also said he had a lot of confidence that he could win the Derby with him. In that Derby, he thought he had it won quite comfortably — but then Equinox came at him. And apparently, he also knew that if anyone was going to come, it would be Equinox.

Tim Cook on the final piece of advice Steve Jobs gave him before handing over Apple: Cook recalls being called to Jobs' house, where Jobs told him he wanted him to be the next CEO. Cook pushed back at first. "He called me over to his house. He told me he wanted me to be the CEO. And I debated with him a little bit. Are you sure you don't want to be CEO anymore?" But Jobs had made up his mind. And he gave Cook one piece of advice that would shape how he led Apple: "His advice to me was never ask what I would do. Just do the right thing." Jobs had a specific reason for saying this. Cook explains: "He told me the story behind this. He was very close to Disney as you know his history. He had watched Disney go through this paralysis of sitting around and talking about what Walt would do. And he did not want that for Apple." Jobs had thought deeply about the handover. He wanted something Apple had never experienced before: "He wanted a professional transition at CEO because Apple had never had one before. And he had thought about it, as you would guess, at a very deep level." Tim Cook closes with how he views the role he inherited: "I see it as a privilege. Overall, it is a privilege."

Machiavelli was the opposite of Machiavellian: he was a selfless patriot. When the Medicis exiled him from Florence, they ordered him to a hamlet in the middle of nowhere in Tuscany. They were basically saying “go rot.” Everybody expected him to run off. Elites across Europe would have hired him in a heartbeat as a historian or diplomat. And in The Prince, Machiavelli thought he’d figured out the secret sauce for keeping hold of power. He didn’t publish it, so it was essentially proprietary IP, hugely valuable to any ruler looking to hire him. But instead he sent The Prince straight to the Medicis - the regime that had just tortured and exiled him - and waited. He didn’t want to serve anybody except his home country. The Prince is full of advice to be ruthless and calculating, but he wasn't recommending it to just anyone. He wanted the rulers of Florence to do whatever it took to protect the city. That was his fundamental loyalty.

Quentin Tarantino wrote Butch in Pulp Fiction for Matt Dillon, but Dillon was unsure about the part. Tarantino needed another big-name actor alongside Harvey Keitel to get the film financed. Luckily, he was able to cast Bruce Willis in the role, he explains how. “We weren’t going out to Bruce Willis. Especially at that time, he was one of the top five, maybe even top three biggest stars in the world - He was definitely popular in America, but you go to Korea or somewhere like that - he was the man. What happened was, I originally wrote the part for Matt Dillon, because Matt Dillon was a fan of my script for Reservoir Dogs. The deal with Miramax was that we had an ensemble cast, but we needed at least one, if not two, Miramax-approved actors. After that, I could cast anybody I wanted, as long as there was somebody they considered a name that they could sell. Matt Dillon fell into the category of names they would accept. So I wrote it for Matt, and it seemed like getting him would be easy. But he read it and he wasn’t so sure. He liked it, but he was disturbed by the fact that you never actually see Butch boxing. He said, “I want to see the fight.” And maybe he didn’t one hundred percent get it. Also, he didn’t want to play that part. He wanted to play Vincent - that happened a lot. Any time I offered somebody a part, they wanted to play somebody else. So Matt didn’t say no, but he didn’t say yes. He still had to think about it. That was a little scary, because I thought I had him in the bag. With him, I had a go movie. Then all of a sudden, I didn’t have such a go movie anymore. Harvey Keitel, who's in the movie - he was one of the guys - so I had him. He was he was shooting in town. When he was shooting in town, he'd usually rent a house in Malibu. And so he would invite friends to come over for the weekend and hang out. And so I came over and I'm hanging out at Harvey's place. And then, well, it turns out that Bruce Willis was only living about three or four or five houses down the way. OK. And so I come over to Harvey's - and there's Bruce Willis. (1/2)

"He loved being able to read to our kids, the same bedtime story on repeat, because he knew it was their favorite. To him, that was special. He loved to sit in the sun on a Saturday morning with his cup of decaf coffee, and his phone was off, because he was honoring the sabbath, and in that moment, it was his time to be in peace, to be in peace, because he was unreachable at the moment."

My cousins and my brother and I were exploring Coney Island, we saw the sights, hung out at the arcades and before we went back to the apartment we decided to go and get something to eat, we had some money on us but not much so we decided to see what we could get at one of the vendors. This was back in the early 90’s when most of them had dollar slices of pizza wherever we went. So we got 4 pieces of pizza, should have been $4 because that’s the price we were used to. The guy wanted to charge us $24 at $6 a slice. We argues with him because one of my cousins already took a bite being so hungry. But at the least we owed $4. We gave the other slices back and refused them but had to pay for the partially eaten one, it was embarrassing that an adult would try that on a bunch of kids. We told our uncle what happened and he went back and yelled at the vendor. He was familiar with them because he used to get slices all the time from the same guy and he never charged my uncle that price. I couldn’t imagine paying that exurban amount, like this guy who was being charged $54 for a hotdog by one of the vendors. At first he thought it was a typo and it was $5.40 but the vendor. Learned it up when he said no it was $54. Would you have paid that amount? I would have walked away, clearly he was trying to possibly scam a the man for looking like a tourist. Part of the experience when visiting a new area is the street food but it’s becoming more and more a chore avoiding places like this.
