Oliver Tambo, born on this day in 1917, was a South African anti-apartheid politician and revolutionary who served as President of the African National Congress (ANC) from 1967 to 1991.

In 1943, Tambo, along with Nelson Mandela and Walter Sisulu, founded the ANC Youth League, with Tambo becoming its first National Secretary and a member of the National Executive in 1948. The Youth League proposed a change in the tactics of the anti-apartheid movement, advocating boycotts, civil disobedience, strikes, and non-collaboration.

In 1960, Tambo fled South Africa due to political persecution, living in exile in north London for thirty years. From London, he supported and helped organize the ANC in the fight against apartheid from a distance. On December 13th, 1990, Tambo returned to South Africa and was elected National Chairperson of the ANC.

Replying to Zionist accounts to ask if they condemn Chris Brown before youโ€™re willing to engage with them

Hey folks. I figure if anyone would know where to get lanolin-free/vegan lip balms it'd be y'all. I'm trying to find some inexpensive balms that I can get in bulk. I'm planning to hand them out to strangers so allergens are a concern. Could y'all make any recommendations? I'd really appreciate the help.

They should have gluten-ase pills for people who have gluten intolerance (not celiac or whatever), like there's Lactase pills if your lactose intolerant.

live-tucker-reaction The 90s were the best decade, South Africa 1990-1994 might be the only black spot

My fellow free speech warrior @[email protected] would agree

[-] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

The 1990s were the worst decade. And the 2000s.

The communist movement virtually collapsed and was on life-support up until the 2010s and 2020s.

FNAF Movie Review:

Okay, not very scary. Too much bullshitting around with the characters backstories and other shit. The actors weren't bad but their dialogue sucked shit as well. It had like 3-4 good moment and the rest was just set dressing and Shat Pat being cringe in his cameo. Not enough focus on the cool as shit animatronics.

Willy's Wonderland laid the ground for what the FNAF movie should have been like. Let the main character fight the animatronics, or at least attempt to outwit them. Instead we get paper-thin family court plot points while the far more interesting stuff gets shoved off to the side.

I started a new run on FTL with the zoltan b since if i beat the flagship i would get the mantis ship.

Zoltan b is more fun than zoltan a, the double ion weapons are way better at dealing with 1 shield ships than the leto from A and it can actually deal with 2 shield ships.

I got a rockmen from a dlaver and made him the captain, it took me until the end of sector 2 to get 1 shield because i thought it was like the stealth ship where you have to buy it from a store.

I had a lot of scrap in sector 3 so i got a slug and i saved a mantis so i decided to get both a transporter and a mind control to board ships, its pretty strong so far. If i win i unlock 2 ships (mantis a and zoltan c) so im going to try to play smart and dont try to suicide trying to get another ship(unless its crystal maybe)

Anyone with better Russian knowledge than me wanna do a bit of help googling? I fuckin love this song: ะœะฐะปัŒั‡ะธัˆ-ะฟะปะพั…ะธัˆ - ะ”ะตะฒะพั‡ะบะฐ but I can't find anything on the band. I get that it's such a generic name, and even a fairytale name, so I just can't figure out what not to waste my time on with google lol. Wanna read a bit about who they were and find more music, but having lots of trouble with my barely passing for words russian skills.

New antidepressant yesterday, and I woke up buzzing this morning. Felt kinda good, though. Hopefully a good sign? And hopefully this one has fewer side effects.

welp i'm 2 months in to running my own studio. still haven't hard launched yet. it's been a little trying bc the space i can afford has a lot of neighbors. The immediate adjacent places were empty but looks like one of them has been rented so i'm not super pleased about that. Luckily I mostly work off hours anyway but I'm nervous about how well that's going to work.

crispy mf hashbrowns. top tier. why places bother with humongous translucent mushy flacid "steak" fries when crispy hashbrowns exist can only be explained as a willful effort to parade around an inferior and malaise-inducing potato product under a bernaysian guise of decadence (steak) as an expression of the pure spite small business tyrants have for the customers that pay for their golf club memberships and bundled disney++ streaming subscriptions.
