During my last stream I opened notepad which revealed a link. The list in the link included titles that suggested child sex abuse material further down. I have never consumed this type of content nor do I think it's acceptable.
I decided to keep streaming in an effort to downplay the severity of the situation which was deceptive. This was a mistake that I deeply regret and apologize for.
The link gave access to abusive material for anyone to see, this is serious and harmful. I recognize that trivializing abusive material on stream is not ok and can lead to real harm. It's my responsibility to provide a safe space for my community and peers in which I failed to do.
I am taking real steps to change my ways. I've admitted myself into a Porn Addiction Recovery Program that will last 30 days. During this time I'll be able to workout there while also receiving professional therapy and treatment for my addiction. Browsing hentai and porn websites as an escape has been a serious problem for as long as I can remember.
This treatment will come with an indefinite hiatus to my livestreams to allow myself to focus on recovery, so I can hopefully contribute a net-positive to society.
36 years ago today, Thomas Sankara, a revolutionary African leader, was assassinated by French imperialists.
Sankara drove out French imperialism from Burkina Faso and withdrew from IMF and made the country non-reliant on foreign aid.
He was assassinated in a coup led by his close ally, Blaise Compaoré supported by French imperialists
As far as African leadership goes, Thomas Sankara was cut from a different piece of cloth.
Here are some of his accomplishments, ONLY 4 YEARS in power (1983-87):
– He vaccinated 2.5 million children against meningitis, yellow fever and measles in a matter of weeks.
– He initiated a nation-wide literacy campaign, increasing the literacy rate from 13% in 1983 to 73% in 1987.
– He planted over 10 million trees to prevent desertification
– He built roads and a railway to tie the nation together, without foreign aid
– He appointed females to high governmental positions, encouraged them to work, recruited them into the military, and granted pregnancy leave during education.
– He outlawed female genital mutilation, forced marriages and polygamy in support of Women’s rights
– He sold off the government fleet of Mercedes cars and made the Renault 5 (the cheapest car sold in Burkina Faso at that time) the official service car of the ministers.
– He reduced the salaries of all public servants, including his own, and forbade the use of government chauffeurs and 1st class airline tickets.
– He redistributed land from the feudal landlords and gave it directly to the peasants. Wheat production rose in three years from 1700 kg per hectare to 3800 kg per hectare, making the country food self-sufficient.
– He opposed foreign aid, saying that “he who feeds you, controls you.”
– He spoke in forums like the Organization of African Unity against continued neo-colonialist penetration of Africa through Western trade and finance. • He called for a united front of African nations to repudiate their foreign debt. He argued that the poor and exploited did not have an obligation to repay money to the rich and exploiting
– In Ouagadougou, Sankara converted the army’s provisioning store into a state-owned supermarket open to everyone (the first supermarket in the country).
– He forced civil servants to pay one month’s salary to public projects.
– He refused to use the air conditioning in his office on the grounds that such luxury was not available to anyone but a handful of Burkinabes.
– As President, he lowered his salary to $450 a month and limited his possessions to a car, four bikes, three guitars, a fridge and a broken freezer.
– A motorcyclist himself, he formed an all-women motorcycle personal guard.
– He required public servants to wear a traditional tunic, woven from Burkinabe cotton and sewn by Burkinabe craftsmen. (The reason being to rely upon local industry and identity rather than foreign industry and identity)
– When asked why he didn’t want his portrait hung in public places, as was the norm for other African leaders, Sankara replied “There are seven million Thomas Sankaras.”
– An accomplished guitarist, he wrote the new national anthem himself

Lemme be clear about something:
I directed Abracatastrophe.
Yes, Butch took credit as he had the right to do - but for all practical purposes, I was the director.
I had been unofficially declared the Supervising Director…
Cont.
To anyone saying this never happens I’ve seen women always say that men should always express their feelings and whenever they do they get mocked and ridiculed for it
#UPDATE: Per our law enforcement sources, police were told that the alleged victim is Majors' girlfriend -- and, according to her, they got into an argument while in a taxi returning home from a bar in Brooklyn. Full update here: https://t.co/Py10ogpNq7
John Stewart just SCHOOLED Republican State Senator Nathan Dahm on Gun Reform:
Stewart: "You are brining chaos to order."
Dahm: "That's your subjective opinion"
Stewart: "It's not my subjective opinion, we have 50,000 gun related deaths. That's NOT a subjective opinion. That's DEAD PEOPLE!"
I wish this man would run for PRESIDENT!
