And my poem, 'The Black Christs Of Africa', is AI-generated by 39%!? By the way, Artificial Intelligence is a 'computer virus' sort of that Lazer-scans our millions of words on the internet here and seals them together to match the title of the requester's question. It benefits from me greatly, so I am not surprised if it claims the literary works of mine, or that of Achebe's, or Shakespeare's. A baby born after the rest is always the most sonorous one claiming the ownership of everything in the house, including daddy's hat. We all passed through this, passedn't we?

NB: By the way, most of the folks that made that deafening hullabaloo about Mading Ngor Akec Kuai and his personal opinion on his former colleague, Garang John, could also qualify as 'AI scanners' of what Mading was going to write about i.e. AI-preempted his article. Welle! It turned out to be a professional analysis on – and/or a piece of advice to – the angered countryman. Those who shoot first and aim later in life came to realize he did not apply the anticipated 'Tomamankat' style of Tomahawk missiles to 'wolf' up a brother, hence they became even more bitter with him.

Harris Versus Trump

For those who think Trump is a peaceful guy, have a look at the table, especially on the military columns. Harris has nothing about army but family—so motherly!

In fact, Trump will delay the results till 2025 through a plethora of litigations and recounting after recounting if he loses. If he wins, he will cause another war, especially with Iran as he is promising his friend Bibi, who has been kinda pinned down by Biden for now. The table did not also capture his call to deport millions of migrants and jail his political opponents on his first day.

Chances that Harris camp will call for a recount in Trumper counties are high...seen from Trump's ardent persuasion to a Secretary of State of Georgia to "just add those 11,000 votes" with which Joe Biden beat him there in the 2020 polls.

Watch this space with critical eye...

Dear Concerned South Sudanese,

19/10/2024

Like many of you, I have woken up to the increased tariffs imposed by our telecommunications networks, including MTN, ZAIN, and DIGITEL. These new tariffs are unbearable for the majority of the youth in this country.

I write with a heavy heart to inform you that our country's telecommunications networks are exploiting us. South Sudan has the most expensive internet data subscriptions in the world. You can't even spend five minutes on web browsers with 25 MB, the lowest data bundle available.

I wasn't born into the internet, I started using internet extensively in from the earliest 2013 to date, but over the years, it has become my learning hub. Since I came to South Sudan three years ago, my exposure to the world has diminished because internet data subscriptions have become so expensive. I love browsing the web and attending online classes, but the costs are prohibitive.

I write with a heartfelt plea to our leaders:
How can we let this slide? Today's world requires exposure and learning, much of which is online. How can our children learn if they can't access the internet?

Here are today tariffs for MTN Only:

Zolkebir 5 Hours Subscription
1. SSP 3,580 for 1GB + 512MB BONUS (5 Hours)
2. SSP 10,030 for 3GB + 1.5GB BONUS (5 Hours)
3. SSP 16,480 for 5GB + 2.5GB BONUS (24 Hours)

Daily Talk Minutes Subscription
1. Daily 135 SSP for 3 Minutes
2. Daily 335 SSP for 8 Minutes
3. Daily 630 SSP for 18 Minutes
4. Daily 1,200 SSP for 35 Minutes

Daily Internet Data Bundle
1. 25 MB @ 341 SSP
2. 50 MB @ 680 SSP
3. 75 MB @ 997 SSP
4. 150 MB @ 1,835 SSP
5. 350 MB @ 3,956 SSP
6. 650 MB @ 7,120 SSP
7. 1 GB @ 9,652 SSP

We need urgent intervention to address these exorbitant tariffs. Our future and our children's education depend on it.

Sincerely,

Chris Bamuom G*i Thakdel

ZOMBIE RULES

Before you forcibly create a class, first check if everyone in the group is in the glass! Don't just imagine and try to massage the egos of those in the V8s. Otherwise, tea makers, body guards, cleaners, etc...thousands of people will make a human jam on that road walking on foot, arriving drenched in sweat at the ministries two hours behind the official clock...What a shame!

NEW NEWS...!

Dear Reader-cum-Leader,

Someone was wondering what's gone amiss with my Viewsletter! Well, I have not run out of views, but just decided that the reader 'views later' the views letter i.e. from a daily views letter to a monthly newsletter. Just imagine if I were to post to this forum every morning/evening my personal arguments for 30 days nonstop! What a spatial spamming (intellectual scamming?) it would be!

So? From October onwards, you have a 30-page newsletter, say 'Viewsletter' because what you view later is no longer news.

Yes, 30 pages of artistically humour-coated daily views on the daily news of South Sudan in particular and the world in general. In detail, it is a critically analytical opinion per page per day. This makes and marks my 30 years in literary opinionation. Don't I there4 deserve your 30-cent reward?

In summary, a poetically and politically crafted diary blogger's hits on our daily loggerheads, thus:

- His daily thinking on our daily sinking;
- His daily tinking on our daily stinking;
- His daily singing on our daily stinging.

However, The Viewsletter is going to be sent out on order.
NB: Please, interpret the phrase 'on order' in the 'restaurant sense' of the word. Yes, free things are cheap and irresponsible.

Definitely, when launched (shorty), The Viewsletter will be in print or on subscription, and be sent out on a fee alone or for free along (as a compliment complement) with bulk order of Jon Pen's 'Politics In Poetics' (series) books.

For tasting, I am giving you this free copy out of the next 30 'Viewsletters' making a 30-day newsletter. Of course, you need it because this is a season of reason; one that – on our efforts – should be steered away from its usual Septem-bar, Octo-bar, Novemb-bar and Decem-bar into a 'safe-tember, Ok-tober, No-vember and Diss-ember.

Watch this space for more details of how to be part of this 'reader-cum-leader' challenge. Promise: Even when it is a rumour, I must make it a humour.

Yours Sin-cerely,

Join Pen de Ngong 🖊️_ 🙏

The 's Cabinet Affairs minister is committing a sin by corrupting Roman 13:1-7 to justify their legitimacy in mis/ruling the Junubeen. , a government by divine powers is not fluked in thru divine announcement of the political appointment (decree).
