INSTEAD OF WATCHING AN HOUR OF NETFLIX TONIGHT. This 1 hour Stanford lecture by Joel Peterson will teach you more about negotiation and getting what you want than most people learn in years. Bookmark it and give it an hour, no matter what.
Fam, remember three years ago when Cory Booker brought tears to all of our eyes when he lifted up Ketanji Brown Jackson?
“You are worthy.”
That’s who he is. That’s who he’s always been.
@CoryBooker
These kids sold a video-sharing website for $1.65 billion in 2006.
Then vanished overnight.
Today, that site is worth over $455 BILLION dollars.
Here's why they walked away from the most valuable website in history:
This is a huge day for @X.
My documentary, Cancer: A Food-Borne Illness, is finally here.
It is only on this platform that I am able to release a film that challenges big food conglomerates and mainstream health claims without fear of censorship.
Here is the story of how I, an 18 year old girl, spent 2 years relentlessly searching for the for the true cause of cancer.
Here's what I found:
NEW: Authorities release footage of Illinois deputy Sean Grayson k*lling 36-year-old Sonya Massey who called the police because she thought someone tried breaking into her home.
Horrific.
Massey, who was a paranoid-schizophrenic, was told to take boiling water off the stove by officers.
When she went over, Massey asked why the officers were backing up, to which they responded: "Away from your hot steaming water."
Massey appeared to threaten to throw the water on the officers which is when they pulled out their guns.
"I’m sorry, I’m sorry," Massey said as she quickly apologized.
Grayson, who later said he thought she was going to throw the water at him, then shot her three times, one hitting her under the eye which exited out her neck.
Grayson was arrested and charged with three counts of first-degree m*rder. He is being held without bond.
Stay wicked!
Let me tell a long story but will make it short as possible. Not for you really because you already acted right, but for others who might be in your situation.
My cousin who came to the US to study in 2021 and suddenly his older brother and the wife (her especially) started beefing him that he couldn’t send them something or he tells them he doesn’t have when they ask. The wife says things like; when he was in Uniben, he comes here for vacation, I am the one who cook and gives him food. I even collect money from his brother to buy him things when he is returning back to school. Eventually, that same wife’s younger brother wanted to get married and he sent him 20k. He called him to say he was disappointed that only 20k was what he could send to him for his wedding. A student in school on student visa o 😄😄
I told my dad and he called him and sternly told him:
I have lived in this country since 1982 and I came here as a student so I will tell you 3 things that will guide you in this country.
1. By the virtue of your relocation here some relationships will never be what they are again. It is not pride but no matter what you do, those people will never value it. What to do? Cut them off!
2. You are now in the US, stay on business the country is brutal, and even if you come to me as your uncle for help, I might not be able to assist you. It is not wickedness, you are also in the America and can see that money does not grow on trees and everyone has their own bills to pay.
3. Receivers will always beg, it is the giver that should know when to stop because here as a cheerful giver, you will lack 😂😂.
He told him to forget about them and focus on his trouble in the US. , That was how he stopped talking to the brother, his wife, and wife’s brother.
Fast forward to 2022, the same brother’s wife brother who married came to the US on student visa. Florida of all places and a university in Miami. He started struggling but they couldn’t reach out to him.
Now the interesting part 😄😄😄
They eventually called him when the boy couldn’t even secure any type of meaningful legal or illegal work and the only one he got was at a stable to feed horses 😂😂😂. The elder brother and wife called and started begging that how can he transfer to his school and start staying with him as they don’t want him to feed horses because he might lose his life if a horse kick him 🤣😂😂😂😂
We still use this story to joke in my family when anyone from Nigeria is feeling entitled.
My dad would say in Yoruba - “Ma worry iwo na ma debi wa feedi eshin, wa gbon 😂😂😂😂”. Meaning, “until you come here and feed horses, you won’t be wise” 😂😂
Finally, they could realize that going abroad isn’t a passport to money on trees and most of their foolish entitlement and request are foolish at best!
Alcohol is a nervous system depressant.
We crave a drink because it slows down our thoughts and numbs our emotions.
It's The Perfect Solution For An Overstimulated Society:
Tough and perhaps painful words for Britain from China.
“The British government should not overestimate its impact on the global scene,” says the spokesperson for the Chinese Communist Party, Victor Gao
We now have what I believe is the first video of the aftermath of the large wildfire that struck Lahaina, Hawaii. The town has been absolutely devastated with large parts of town burned completely to the ground. The video is from Richard Olsten on Facebook (link below). #hiwx
The scene in Lahaina, Maui this morning is absolutely devastating.
The entire town is being destroyed by an intense wildfire, forcing residents to sheek shelter in the ocean.
Make no mistake, climate change is making scenes like this more frequent.

A very senior doctor in Zimbabwe has sent that to me👇🏿
“Our country is bewitched by the dead.
The dearth of leadership is astonishing.
A cousin of mine was due for elective surgery today at Parirenyatwa hospital.
All elective theatre lists for all disciplines/specialities of surgery were cancelled because the hospital has no water.
So they have been discharged to go back home.
Meanwhile the Annex/Parirenyatwa hospital Psychiatric Unit has had a blocked sewer problem and burst sewer that has seen patients being discharged from hospital before they are well because the toilets are not working.
For two consecutive days since yesterday no patients have been admitted even dire Psychiatric emergencies because of the sewer issue.
In the meantime I passed along Bulawayo road and witnessed the construction of The Museum of African Liberation and the monuments going on.
What makes our leadership so impervious to basic reasoning and conscience?.
They are busy prioritising the dead over the living.
The Water Ministry is busy banning the opposition from drilling boreholes for the rural communities yet they are failing to provide the country's biggest hospital with basic water!!!?.
Takatadzei sure?”
