Die Antwoord’s Adopted Son Alleges Years of Abuse and Exploitation
Gabriel “Tokkie” du Preez, the adopted son of Die Antwoord’s Yolandi Visser (aka Anri du Toit) and Ninja (aka Watkin Jones), has accused the couple of physical and sexual abuse and exploitation.

Twitter Founder Jack Dorsey Posts Radiohead Song to Express Feelings About Elon Musk
Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey has a lot of feelings about Elon Musk buying his company, and like many 45-year-old men with questionable beard games, he chose to express himself in the form of a Radiohead song. And while close readers might attempt to find evidence of satire in the choice, Dorsey seemed to show his support for Musk when he tweeted out the Kid A track, “Everything in Its Right Place.” Before Musk’s purchase, Dorsey owned a little more than 2% of Twitter, and while he maintained a seat on the board, he was expected to leave that post next month. As he explained in a Twitter thread, he sees Musk as the right man to continue his work. “I love Twitter. Twitter is the closest thing we have to a global consciousness,” he wrote in explanation of his Radiohead post. ...
