I am subscribed to Amazon Prime, mainly for the movies/tv streaming, but the free two day shipping is pretty nice. Plus you get some free games per month and Twitch benefits. Other than that I don't know what Amazon Prime is good for. Most often I am not subbed to the service, because I don't purchase a ton of stuff from them these days. But, got a free year plan as a gift and I can't complain. I doubt I will renew it when it ends next year.

Anyway, do you like Amazon prime and what it offers? Would you like to see Amazon Prime offer more?

I guess there was rumors of Kanye West's catalog being sold by his publisher, to which he responded saying that his catalog was "not for sale" You can see it below.

Watch this story by Ye on Instagram before it disappears.

But the good news was, that it didn't happen. It was just confusion caused by people wanting to buy his catalog. I doubt he would be willing to sell his music just like that. Kanye would never sell off his music. Even if he was at a point in his life, where he needed the money, I'm sure he'd find a way to make it work.

How much money do you think is there if he did sell? I read in the article below that he could make up to $175 million. But I could see him getting a lot more than that.

Xbox has Gamepass, PlayStation to my knowledge has PlayStation Now I think. They have their own gamepass like service, but I am not familiar with how it works, how many games, and what games they are.

But, I think video game companies should implement their own gamepass like service, or subscription service where you can get a bundle of games to play for that month. I think it would help with console sales, and could help people save money in the long run. At least with gamepass, it saves me some money.

Anyway, what do you think? Do you wish to see more services like Gamepass on other consoles and devices?

Windows 11 doesn't work on every PC because of some weird settings that only newer PCs have. I forget what it was, but that's not the point of this topic. The PC I have now, can't do the update to Windows 11 because I don't have the settings to make it work. Does that then mean that I will end up having to buy a new PC setup in order to use Win 11?

I don't think I can afford to buy a new PC right now, my currently one is only a couple years old. If anything I'll just keep using Windows 10 until it ends and then maybe install a Linux OS on it.

Welcome home, Bron!

Black people have the highest rate of ptsd it may be why we have tue issues that we have

An occupied building collapses after an explosion in a West Side neighborhood in Chicago, injuring many and trapping others. I have questions and you know where my questions lead! Reminds me of 1985 in Philadelphia! #MOVE

“Six-deuce-87 Kitchen Crip gangster, yep. Your 2021 Teacher of the Year used to be in a gang," Darrion Cockrell said in his acceptance speech.

A physical education teacher’s inspiring story and dedication to his students has earned him the state of Missouri’s highest honor for educators.
According to a statement from the Department of Primary and Secondary Education, Darrion Cockrell was selected by a panel of his peers and other education partners from across the state as the 2021 Missouri Teacher of the Year.
Cockrell’s story is one of motivation and hope. In his acceptance speech, he explained the importance of having educators who care about children and how a second chance from his adoptive parents changed his life. The instructor, affectionately known as “DC,” is a former gang member whose young life was marred by tragedy and unfortunate circumstances. He candidly recounted his past and the process it took to get him to where he is today.
“I started from the bottom,” Cockrell said in his speech. “Six-deuce-87 Kitchen Crip gangster, yep. Your 2021 Teacher of the Year used to be in a gang.”


By growing up in dire conditions in North St. Louis, Cockrell explained that he thought he would die like many of his friends and that he was born to fail.
“I was born to a drug-addicted mother who had two of her six kids by the age of 16, my father was murdered when I was four, and I began my journey in and out of the foster care system not long after my sixth birthday,” Cockrell recalled.
Although Cockrell’s younger years were tough, the beloved teacher said that he owed his life to teachers and counselors who supported him during those difficult times. He specifically showed gratitude toward a man named Ken. He explained that Ken mentored him when he lived in a boys’ home for a year during middle school.
“He taught me it’s OK to be tough, but at the same time, it’s OK to be compassionate,” Cockrell said. “He was like a father figure to me.”
When Cockrell was in 7th grade, his football coach adopted him, changing the trajectory of his life and his bleak outlook on the world.
“When I changed the way I looked at things, the things around me started to change,” he said. “I had a lot of struggles and a lot of hurdles, and if not for those educators, I would not be here today.”

During his speech, he also joked that his adoption by the coach wasn’t a Hollywood story, referencing the 2009 hit movie, The Blind Side.
“No, I’m not Michael Oher from ‘The Blindside,’ although I did have dreams of the NFL,” Cockrell teased. “My message for teachers is understanding the power that we have to make positive or negative impacts in the lives of others.”
Cockrell further expounded on why teaching is important to him and how physical education also correlates to emotional health. He uses his circumstances to encourage students to see past their own conditions to overcome challenges.
“Missouri is fortunate to have so many high-quality educators, and Darrion will be a wonderful representative as our state’s Teacher of the Year,” Commissioner of Education Margie Vandeven said in a statement. “He guides his students towards long-term physical and mental wellness, and the connections he has established will impact Crestwood children for years to come.”
Cockrell, who has taught at Crestwood Elementary since 2015, implemented an innovative approach to fitness. “Crest-Fit,” a combination of Cross-Fit and Crestwood Elementary, is an exercise regimen that started for students and incorporated other schoolteachers and even parents. It progressed to an after-school activity.
He continues to spread the wellness message during the pandemic, as students learn remotely, the statement read.
The University of Missouri-St. Louis 2013 graduate also won the 2020 National Box Tops for Education Twilight Award. Grammy-Award-winning artist, Chance The Rapper, presented him with the coveted honor.
Cockrell became the 52nd Missouri Teacher of the Year since the program began in 1957. He is the second recipient from the Lindbergh school district and is the first male to capture the state’s top education award since 2015.


Congrats to that bruh for turning his life around and doing something positive in the community!

I like the clean aquatic scents the most, but I want to try different types of cologne. Recently I grabbed a few that I really like. some are not that expensive but surprisingly are very good. I like colognes to have good projection, not overwhelming just that nice hint of small when you walk past someone. the Afnan brand is pretty much a clone house, the Afnan 9 PM is a very good clone of Ultra Male by Jean Paul Gaultier, some people even prefer the clone to the original.

what are you wearing lately?

Any constructive criticism welcomed and appreciated! Don't worry about offending me bc it all helps make my work better!

1. What would you like to see changed in the video?
2. Was the information easy to follow?
3. Did you have any trouble reading anything?

My dad has always watched their interviews because he has an interest in filmmaking (mostly post-production). He can point out all the edits, cuts, and everything. He was walking me through some of it and I was mindblown. Like they basically took the most coherent words they had Biden saying and tried to make logical sense of it. Swapping in and out questions, cutting back and forth between him and the interviewer... And most people who watch this think it is legit. It is all faked. The interview was likely much longer and riddled with him getting confused and blabbing on and on about nonsense as he does in his live speeches.

Also, he said the pandemic is officially over in some other interviews, twice. They waited 5 days to air it. You know who sold their Pfizer stocks, right? All these dirty politicians like Nancy Pelosi (who somehow has better trades than the best stock traders in the world!)...What a joke.

Salutations folk. Hope your week out there.

The p/o actually keeping the peace. Charles Faulkner would be proud. 🫡

It looks like CM Punks time in AEW is likely over, especially after the media scrum and backstage news that came out recently. For those who don't know, CM Punk went off on the EVPs of AEW and ended up getting in an alleged scrap backstage that resulted in some possible injuries to the Young Bucks and others. There was even suspensions for some of the people involved, and it looks like CM Punk may be on the way out.

With all of this though, do you think CM Punk has a chance to wrestler elsewhere? There's no chance the WWE will take him back, and AEW seems to be done with the guy as we know it. We all know his MMA career was a failure from start to finish. So where else could he go?

I know he started doing movies a while back, but from what I saw of that, he's not that great at acting.

What do you think could happen? Do you think CM Punk will still stick around in AEW? Or is he done in wrestling altogether?

Lil Baby recently cancelled his set due to illness he later specified in an instagram apology to fans who attended the Vancouver’s Breakout Festival. He was supposed to end the show with the last 30 minutes or so, but had to cancel. Fans got mad and started to destroy the venue. Because people think if they don't get what they want, they have to act like this. I'm sure they would have someone else come back and do something to make up for their headliner having to leave.

But, I think it was partly due to other also cancelling their set during the show, those being; Lil Uzi Vert, Polo G, and Sofaygo. The venue hosting the event is looking into refunding some attendees. But I doubt they will refund anyone who started destroying things.

These goofy ass negroes in the world have to go. What possessed you to take your ashy butt out there to go talk to that wrinkly old #mayosapiens. His mama cracked the whip on our black asses and this sucka gonna go there and get curved. Sad thing is he is still going to be a King Charles shaft chaser.

There are so many things going on right now that we take our focus off the coming days. Now since the summer is coming to a close and the fall is rolling in, we’ll be seeing empty shelves again in the grocery stores and a lack of other resources. We must look forward to positive things happening in our future, but all of us have to prepare for anything bad to come. What are you doing to prepare for the days ahead? What are some tips you have that can help your people? (Answer the best way you can and be free to converse with myself/others)

I’m asking these questions out of concern and I would like to get back on track with preparation. Ever since Covid started, I learned more about the importance of stocking up on food, water, and other essentials. The bad part is not having space for stuff (especially if you live in an apartment/condo). I remember in 2020/2021 we had canned food, water, paper towels all over the dinning room and some in the living room. Even though I live in a new apartment with more cabinet space and a bigger storage unit than the previous apartment, I am still overwhelmed with apartment space (I wish I could live in a house right now). But once my family and I reorganize, I believe we will have additional space for food, water, and other necessities soon.

Last week a family member gave us a furniture piece for the living room that has a storage unit built in. So we can put canned foods in it. Right now we have water in storage, but it’s not enough to last us for a year or more. I will have to take inventory this week so I can figure out how much water to get. My household primarily drinks Crystal Geyser natural spring water. We consume other natural spring/alkaline water too depending on some things. I can understand now that more people are starting to buy up water because of the water crisis nationwide. Not only are Black residents in Jackson, Mississippi going through their water issues, but certain zip codes in (majority Black) Baltimore city recently had e-coli detected in the water. I guess our people are seeing now the importance of having water, because people are coming into stores like the dollar store (I have inside knowledge) asking if any water is in stock. So far water shortages are going to be happening more if the trucks don’t deliver regularly.

My plan is to start going through other avenues to access clean drinking water. I like filtered water, but natural spring/alkaline is better. I know of a black owned water company that serves the DMV and I’ve purchased from them in the past. I have to buy a membership from them soon. By the way, I will share this business among others on here today or some time this week. Back to what I was saying, I’m going to start buying water again from the black owned business. The only reason why I haven’t been purchasing from the shop is because I haven’t had time. My mother and I have to drive to another county to pick up the water, but we will just have to plan on going forward with it at least once a month if not most.

I must give credit to people like Queen Ahmadiyyah Shakur because she has always stressed for our people to stock up on food and water since the fall of 2020. I can remember seeing videos of people in grocery stores and the shelves were empty and I’ve seen someone in Walmart saying the workers are being told to throw out non contaminated foods. I hate how many people here (especially white folks) waste food. The waste of food also comes along with product contamination/recalls which Queen Shakur always reports on. I remember her questioning are people being told to throw out their food so that they have nothing to eat. I don’t think we truly understand the severity of this. For instance, just imagine going to the grocery store and buying food. You come home and get alerted that the same food you just purchased may be contaminated and you’re ordered to discard it. Now what, and do you see the problem?

I don’t want to keep on going on about this part, but I just feel like something isn’t right for a company to manufacture food and not be 100% sure that the equipment is properly sanitized, other health regulations are followed to a T, and no food becomes contaminated.

These issues are pushing me to purchase more local food products and continuing to visit farmer markets. The only bad thing about farmer markets (ones I am aware of) are the farmers are white, but at this point you patronize where you can for the best products (just as long as you don’t deal with anti-black racism). Another issue is farmers markets are open from May to October/December. The one I have been visiting for some years now extended their services until December. But after that you have to go back to regular markets.

Back to survival, I need to attempt to grow in the apartment again. I had a bit of a hard time doing this due to lack of space, sun light exposure (I have to use a plant light), and equipment. I managed to get pepper plants started months ago, a leman seed sprout, and a avocado tree growing from the pit. It didn’t work out and I lost my focus. Another way I wanted to prepare was to began canning. I have the equipment in storage, but have yet to start. I think once I can regain my focus, I’ll be able to prepare more.

Star dropped some game that I think everyone needs to listen to. The whole “only God can judge” is bull crap. You need to be analyzing those around you and coming to decisive judgments on who they are and what they are about.

Life is about to get much harder for us here in the USA and globally as well and now more than ever you need to manage your inner circle.

Just because you judge someone doesn’t mean that you have to treat them badly or turn your nose up at them. It just means you have sized them up internally and see them for who you believe them to be.

Here it is in his own words.
