    The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel

    Curious to see if anyone here has watched this. I started watching it on a whim since I have Prime. Stuck it on and ended up enjoying it. The cast has a hell of a lot of jews and Italians though but they paint a reality that I think many black Americans forgot about. There are a hell of a lot of...

    Do you drive a hybrid or electric car?

    I saw this and many other stories like it: https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/cars/2022/03/15/gas-prices-electric-vehicles-supply/7041213001/?gnt-cfr=1 I don't feel like people fully understand the cost of owning an electric car or the strain it can put on the power grid if more people...

    Elon Musk wants to fistfight Putin!

    Did you see his Twitter this morning? This dude must be higher than Snoop saying all this. But I won't lie, I'd pay to watch those two fight. Shit would be hilarious. I keep forgetting Elon is an older dude. He acts half his age. Maybe that is what keeps him young. Who knows. I just thought...

    New Tech For Phone Charging

    I don't know if you all have any issues with charging speeds. Mine S22+ can get to a full charge from 0% in about 23 minutes which is fine by me but 9 minutes? That can be a game-changer for a lot of people who need to crunch on time. I just don't know that this tech is coming out of China...

    How do you address your partner letting themselves go?

    This can be through basic care, weight gain, excess drinking, or just plain ol' laziness. If you are in a relationship with someone who is letting themselves go and allowing bad habits to come in, how do you address it? How do you tell them they need to get their act together without coming...

    Here we go... Ukraine immigrants will be pouring in!

    I saw it on the news last night that a lot of states in the US are taking in refugees. Many of which don't know English and will be getting funded off our taxation. I didn't think it would happen. I legit thought Poland, Sweden, and those other white nations would be taking them in but nope...

    Who knows about soundbars?

    I got a new 4K tv a few weeks back. The sound quality is not the best cause it was a budget buy. I got it for under $400. I want to get a soundbar for it but I have no idea what to even look for. I don't want to get a full surround sound set up right now cause I do plan on moving eventually. I...

    Can independent artists ever fix this mess?

    I often wonder about this. There are a lot of talented independent artists out there without a label. They show a label doesn't mean shit today but at the same time, that label is able to pool the strings and push you to the top behind backdoors. I feel like music as a whole can be uplifted...

    Would you marry someone who cheated in the past?

    I have a friend who is getting married. The man she is marrying cheated on her twice in the past. They have been together for 7 years. I feel like she is making a very stupid choice. I get that some people change but he did it twice, with two different women. The first time she caught him after...

    Taxation needs to be fixed

    I am sick of the tax system in this country. I for one think that black Americans who are the children of slaves should not be paying a damn thing when it comes to taxation but you know they won't ever stop taxing. So how about someone does something to fix this mess? A friend and I were...

    We ever going to get a new Mario Kart for the Switch?

    So they ported the Mario Kart 8 game over from the Wii-U to the Switch. That was all fine and dandy. They added a some new tracks. All good. But at this point, the game is old and I am bored with it. Do you think we are going to see a new Mario Kart anytime soon? I thought maybe when they...

    Did you see the new Batman movie yet?

    A friend of mine wants me to go with her. She loves Catwoman and is excited to see Zoë Kravitz play her. I was looking at the reviews and ratings and it seems to be doing well. Just not sure I would be up for it. I haven't watched a Batman movie in years. Just wanted to see if it is actually...

    Lizzo IS NOT Beautiful, I am sorry!

    I keep seeing headlines like this and it makes my head spin: "Lizzo just wore Kylie Jenner's exact gold bikini – and we're here for it" https://www.glamourmagazine.co.uk/article/lizzo-gold-bikini-kylie-jenner Why are they still pushing this narrative that being THAT big is beautiful? I am...

    Is Kanye for real?

    I did not dig into this too deep so things might have changed since I heard but someone told me that he was legit selling his latest album for $200. What the actual hell is this man thinking? Why is he charging this much for one album? Did I miss something here!? I know he cut ties with record...

    Tech Independent

    People are always going on and on about being energy-independent but what about our tech? Most of what we have is outsourced from China, Japan, and other areas in Asia. With all these stocks dropping and inflation going up, a lot of this nonsense could have been avoided if we dealt more...

    Greatest Micheal Jackson Songs?

    If you had to pick a top three, which would they be for you? He has so many amazing songs that it is hard to pick just three but after listening to his music again lately, I have gotten my top three. This is based on a few different things for me. The music video, the beat, the lyrics, and the...

    I'm prepping, are you?

    There are shortages of food happening already and with this war, more are on the way. We will see farmers struggling next since we get most of our fertilizer from them (Ukraine) and they stopped exporting it. Be prepared people! I stocked up on beans, dried pasta, and other goods that will last...

    "Proud Boy" Attacks Black Woman

    I always see stuff like this in the news. When is something going to be done? Now, these weak-ass white supremacists are going after our women. The dude straight-up punched a woman in the street like she was a man. WTF!? There is a video in the source below if you want to watch it. It will make...
