Man, I gotta be great. Can’t let the blessings and opportunities over the years go to waste. I gotta work. I gotta build my craft. I gotta give back. I gotta network. I gotta be fiscally responsible. I gotta do the right thing. Most importantly, I gotta be a good person.
BREAKING: The Charlotte Hornets are trading star guard LaMelo Ball and Josh Green to the Minnesota Timberwolves for Naz Reid, a 2033 unprotected first-round pick, three first-round pick swaps (2028, 2029, 2030) and three second-round picks (2029, 2032, 2033), sources tell ESPN.
Men have learned that your effort don’t matter if she don’t like you. The days of trying to convince a woman to like you are over. Men want genuine enthusiasm without Olympics maxxing or they not going.
I’m at the airport and watched a family miss their flight because the wife/mom snapped on airport staff so the staff cancelled their tickets in retaliation. The husband had to call a friend for a place to stay tonight & said he gotta find a way to pay for 5 new tickets home. She had no remorse or took any accountability.
Prime example of why you can’t be afraid to lead and keep ppl in check as a man. They’re going through all of this because he was scared to get her under control. Passivity has a price
I hope that this person remembers this sacrifice their father made in everything they do financially moving forward. I also hope they remember this when it’s time to do the same for their kids (if they have any of course).
I tweet for me boo 😭 Twitter for the OGs was basically a diary. We wasn’t sitting around chasing engagement . You just had a thought, tweeted it, and kept scrolling. If somebody saw it, cool. If they didn’t, oh well 😂 Twitter originally wasn’t even about likes like that. It was just people broadcasting their random ass thoughts into the universe.
He is right. Too much research into figuring out when the games are. It’s only two conference series left so we can assume each one plays every other day. But those playoff commercials used to be important this time of year.
Charles Barkley thinks all these different streaming services to watch NBA games is disrespectful to NBA fans:
“I think Adam Silver has to get a hold of this thing. I think the games are too disjointed right now. NBC, Peacock, Amazon, I think we have disrespected the fans. They don’t know when the games are on. I just think that’s really unfair to the fans.”

During my Brooklyn MyGM run, these 5 were decent contributors but nothing stood out about any of them. Traore could get a bucket and Powell could dunk. No one here is a high volume scorer and the defense is mediocre across all 5 rookies. 5 solid role players is what they were.
Zero Brooklyn Nets rookies made it?
The Nets had 5 out of 30 1st Rd draftees last year and from different ranges.
But not one of them can shine during a TANK season to make at least the All Rookie 2nd team? embarrassment
This is a fire able offense Sean Marks

I had a massive reality check last night about how Instagram is actively destroying long-term relationships by convincing us that love is supposed to be a 24/7 "soft life" aesthetic.
It was late, the apartment was stifling, and the power had randomly tripped. I was lying in the dark, scrolling through IG, watching a reel of some influencer getting surprised with a Cartier bracelet and a baecation. The caption was: “Never settle for less.”
Honestly, I let the internet poison my mind for a second. That familiar, creeping panic started settling in. I started wondering if my own relationship had lost the "spark" because we hadn’t done any grand romantic gestures lately. We were basically just splitting the crushing weight of adulthood.
Then I looked over at my man. There was no curated aesthetic. No cinematic background music. He was completely exhausted from his own day, but there he was, sitting on the bare floor in the dark, using his phone flashlight to help me count and sort out my ID Vogue orders so my morning deliveries wouldn't be delayed.
The entire Instagram illusion just shattered for me.
Social media has gaslit us into believing that if a relationship isn’t actively triggering your anxiety with constant highs and butterflies, it’s "dead." We mistake peace for boredom. We want a burning fire, completely forgetting that fires eventually burn the house down.
The harsh truth? Most long-term relationships aren't held together by overwhelming passion. They are held together by a VOW to look at each other in the middle of a brutal economy and say, "I am not going to let you drown today."
The internet will call that "settling." But the internet doesn't know a damn thing about what it actually takes to keep the water out and the house warm when things get dark. Stop letting a 60-second PR campaign ruin your real life.
Correct. Because “wanting a baby” is desire-driven, “wanting to be a parent” is responsibility-driven. And I think the best parents are those who revere the role itself.
