You cannot trust digital erasure when a generation of people, who grew up on Limewire and Kazaa, are alive and (sometimes) well!

Where can a woman buy peonies and ranunculuses in New York?

Does someone have a rec?

You are not a regular civilian. You have security detail. If you're going to tweet, boost the stories that your employees have written or reported. No emoji, no meme, nothing else.

Otherwise, zip it and leave us alone!

I know this is besides the point but why is an EIC of one of largest news organizations in the world tweeting like that in the first place?

Let me give y'all just what I found from quick research:

If you wanted to rent a 4 bedroom, 4 bathroom apartment in one of the most affluent neighborhoods of Cape Town, you could get that for less than $4000 a month.

Does the rest of the world understand how much white Americans are struggling?

I don't think they know.

I think they thought that their whiteness meant easy street.

Ba-by, the white folx here can't even afford starter homes. Get in line!

As soon as I heard South Africans were coming to America, I thought that it wouldn’t be long before they went right on back.

They probably almost had a stroke when they saw how much beef is.

And it's expensive as hell here!

That's what they AIN'T saying.

A 24 minute Uber from Sea Point Cape Town to its airport may be 15 American dollars. AT MOST.

You know what museum **I** believe should be boosted more?

The Van Gogh museum. Especially during the evening hours?

Fun! I underestimated how much I’d enjoy myself.

I got there so early I beat the crowds, saw the painting, and I think the adrenaline drop was tremendous.

I just told a friend about this: I woke up early to get to the Louvre as soon as it opened, hauled ass up those damn steps, and when I finally saw it, I was like, "That's it? Where's the rest of it?"

I am never trying again.

From here on out, I am 110% committed to whimsy.

You know the economy is bad when scammers are trying to get emerging writers and authors. Baby, you got off at the wrong exit.
