Glen Powell tells us why he’s proud of his new thriller ‘HOW TO MAKE A KILLING’.

“Everybody in this movie has a very specific lift that if they don’t nail it, the whole magic trick falls apart... it’s a really hard movie to pull off tonally. That’s why I’m really proud of it.”

100 years ago, thirteen black men put together their savings and founded Safe Bus Company, making it the largest black owned bus company at that time.

It was formed in Winston-Salem to serve the black neighborhoods due to segregation and operated till 1972.

Thirteen Black men pooled their life savings to purchase $100,000 in stock, forming Safe Bus Co., Inc. on May 26, 1926. The company quickly grew into the largest African American–owned bus company in the nation.

Safe Bus expanded rapidly and was once described as the largest Black-owned transportation company in the world. By 1955, the company grossed $825,000. At its peak, it carried approximately 15,000 passengers per day, earned $18,000 weekly, and employed 75 people.

Early fares began at five cents and increased as the company expanded. The fleet grew from 35 to 42 buses, serving roughly 20 percent of the city. Black bus drivers earned between $1.60 and $2.50 per hour—wages that exceeded those of many schoolteachers at the time.

By 1968, Safe Bus provided transportation across the entire city. However, following integration, the company experienced a sharp decline in ridership. Changing social attitudes and increased competition led to significant financial losses.

In 1972, stockholders voted to sell Safe Bus to the city. The Winston-Salem Transit Authority then assumed responsibility for public transportation, marking the end of one of the most successful Black-owned transit companies in American history.

Rock n rollers is still rebels, any age that they at. But with Rap it’s a time limit? Never. #Lightyears https://t.co/wcPf3B3nb6

You want to help R&B?

Find a new artist you love and actually support them. Post them. Talk about them. Go to the shows. Buy the merch. Stream the music.

That’s how you help R&B grow, not by complaining about what’s “missing” every 2–3 business days.

- y’all want to deem R&B as “old” and Auntie so badly. but then live for a “what’s missing in music these days” convo. what’s missing is people who love and respect the music and our culture.
