Emile Griffith III’s boxing gloves

Someone has to be black, gay, beautiful, intelligent, interesting; eclectic; extravagant; extraordinary and wonderfully introverted with a great sense of purpose and humongous BLACK ass! That’s just so perky and bouncing: just too nice cantaloupes 🍈 wobbling

Sooo you were in the Dahmer series (derogatory) you have a white partner, you’re good girlfriends with Tyler Perry and now you’re starring in a horror film with predominantly white gays….

“The reason why Nollywood actors and actresses are poor is because we don’t get Royalties for what we do, we only get paid for our appearance at the shoot. That’s why everyone is running to Youtube” — Patience Ozokwo says 🤦🏾‍♂️

Self-checkout is among the most flagrant corporate cruelties ever. Your local Walmart fired a few dozen of your neighbors, makes you do their jobs, and hired a single goon to accuse you of shoplifting on the way out. They don't even have shareholders, the Waltons just need more.

Every photo you take on your iPhone is quietly recording a 3-second video in the background. You never turned this on. Apple ships every single iPhone with it enabled, and they have a $109 billion reason to keep it that way. It's called Live Photos. Been around since 2015. When you tap the shutter, your phone grabs 1.5 seconds of video before your finger hits the button and 1.5 seconds after. Then it stitches that clip to your picture and saves both. The storage cost is where it gets interesting. A regular iPhone photo is about 2–5 MB. How-To Geek tested Live Photos on an iPhone 13 and found each one runs around 13 MB total, roughly 5 MB for the picture and 8 MB for the video riding shotgun. So every photo with Live turned on takes 2.5x the space. Apple gives you 5 GB of free iCloud storage. For comparison, Google gives you 15 GB. At 13 MB per shot, you burn through Apple's free 5 GB in about 385 photos. Photutorial's 2024 data puts the average American at 20 photos a day. That's three weeks before Apple's free storage runs dry and the little "iCloud Full" notification starts nagging you to upgrade. $0.99 a month for 50 GB. $2.99 for 200 GB. $9.99 for 2 TB. And it keeps coming back. I've seen this complaint all over Apple's own support forums and across tech sites. People disable Live Photos. Software update rolls in. It switches itself back on. Apple has never explained this. Zoom out to the business side and the math clicks. Apple's services business (iCloud, App Store, Apple Music, Apple TV, all of it lumped together) pulled in $109.2 billion in 2025, up 14% from the year before. December 2025 quarter alone crossed $30 billion in services revenue for the first time in company history. iCloud+ and Apple One subscriptions account for about 26% of that pie, which works out to roughly $28 billion a year in charges that auto-renew every month on a credit card most people forgot they entered. I'll be fair. Live Photos do have some genuinely useful tricks. You can scroll through the frames and pick the one where nobody blinked. Long Exposure mode blurs water in rivers and waterfalls without needing a tripod. And you can turn any Live Photo into a short looping animation. But honestly, for the vast majority of people, Live Photos is just a storage tax they never signed up for. It sits there on every iPhone, quietly eating space. And sooner or later, the $0.99 upgrade prompt does the rest.

Good book!

"The report found that a family of four in New York City with up to $100,000 in income, or a single adult with up to $47,000 — a group of nearly five million people — struggled almost as much those living in poverty. Thirty-four percent of them often couldn’t afford their basic needs, compared with 38 percent of New Yorkers who were considered poor." nytimes.com/2026/03/16/nyr…

Reginae Carter said her mom had to call Lil Wayne to tell him to stop giving her so much money because he was giving her $1000 cash everytime at 8, 9 years old “One time I paid for everyone’s lunch at school, she called him like ‘Wayne, you better stop giving her all that money”

pussy (coward) and pussy (sex organ) are etymologically unrelated. the sex organ comes from norse word for "pocket", while the other is from the latin "pussilanimous", meaning "of small spirit"

Needing to feel safe within. But fuck Jane Goodall, her research was useful. Her politics were not.

I forgot to mention she was traumatized by her previous home. Part of her feeling safe again was tied to becoming intimate with her body and the new home. The males understood that. Human males ate taught “cum dumps” and “whores” and not fragile member of society. Outsider
