After the game Jordan Shipp ran over to Malachi Toney to show him love and ask if they could pray together. God, continue to protect these young men. Their mothers did an incredible job raising them. 🙏🏾

"We always assume there will be another conversation, another visit, another 'see you soon.' But life doesn't promise us that. So make your last words gentle, your hugs meaningful, and your goodbyes full of love."

So they can hire YouTubers but told Lisa Leslie she wasn’t qualified enough for a job in the W? Ok.

It’s amazing to me how people like Hunter Cruse can actively hate on black players and black coaches
Participate in a leaked group chat that targeted and berated black journalists
And be rewarded with a job for the Sparks
Don’t let anyone tell you about professionalism

Gue masih merinding tiap lihat rekaman tsunami Jepang 2011. Yang paling mengerikan justru bukan tinggi ombaknya, tapi betapa cepat laut berubah jadi mesin penghancur. 😨
Ini rekaman tsunami yang menerjang Miyako, Jepang, pada 11 Maret 2011, setelah gempa berkekuatan magnitudo 9,0 mengguncang wilayah Tohoku.
Perhatikan airnya. Tsunami nggak selalu datang kayak ombak raksasa di film. Kadang bentuknya seperti banjir dahsyat yang terus naik, mengalir deras, dan menyeret apa pun di jalurnya.
Gue heran masih ada yang meremehkan tsunami cuma karena ombaknya terlihat kecil.
Bro, yang membunuh bukan cuma ketinggian air, tapi juga arus, puing, dan kekuatan massa air yang bergerak.
Kalau ada peringatan tsunami, jangan nunggu lihat ombak. Langsung cari tempat tinggi.

Netflix used to rent Disney's movies for about $30 million a year. Today Netflix is worth about $100 billion more than Disney.
Disney spent ten years selling its biggest rival the exact movies that got people to sign up.
When Netflix started streaming in 2007, it was a free add-on to the DVD plan with about 1,000 titles. The $5.99 plan got you six hours of streaming a month. A lot of Hollywood thought it was a joke. As late as 2010, the CEO of Time Warner compared Netflix taking over to the Albanian army taking over the world.
So in 2008 Starz, which held the TV rights to Disney and Sony movies, let Netflix stream them for around $30 million a year. They figured it was easy money from a few people watching on laptops.
Then Netflix went from 9.4 million subscribers to 23 million in three years, with Toy Story 3 and Tangled sitting right on the home screen.
Starz woke up in 2011. Netflix offered about $300 million to keep the deal going, ten times what it had been paying, and Starz still said no. Its own CEO later called the original deal terrible.
Disney's answer was to cut out Starz and sign with Netflix directly. In December 2012 it made Netflix the exclusive pay-TV home for every new Disney, Pixar, Marvel and Lucasfilm movie starting in 2016, for a reported $300 million a year. Most people covering the deal thought Disney had fleeced Netflix. Michael Pachter at Wedbush said he wouldn't be surprised if Netflix never made $100 million in profit again. The whole company was worth about $5 billion back then.
Netflix made $3.66 billion in profit last quarter. That's 36 years of Pachter's "never again" number in three months.
Disney kept cashing those checks for a pretty simple reason. Renting out movies you already made is mostly profit, and it shows up right away. Building your own streaming app means years of losses and a stock that gets punished for it. So Disney took the easy money, and the whole time Netflix was using those movies to buy itself time. Time to start making its own shows, starting with House of Cards in 2013, and time to get a few hundred million people in the habit of opening Netflix first.
By the time Iger pulled the movies in 2017 to launch Disney+, Netflix already had more than 100 million members.
Then the bill showed up. Disney lost over $11 billion on streaming by 2023 trying to win back an audience it had basically helped Netflix build.
You can see all of it in the chart. $100 a month into Disney roughly doubled, and that's with Disney owning Marvel and Star Wars the whole time. Netflix stock is down about half from its June 2025 high, and it's still worth around $290 billion. Disney sits at about $190 billion.
And this year Netflix lost the bidding war for Warner Bros, and Paramount paid it a $2.8 billion breakup fee on the way out. That one check would've paid for the old Starz deal for 93 years.

After reading about the circumstances surrounding the death of Javits Frimpong, my heart was filled with anger and sadness.
Go back and watch the short video released by the police, showing Javits running while another boy chased him. My initial thought was that he was chased down the street and then shot. But he had already been shot and was still running afterwards.
The most heartbreaking part is that he was reportedly already bleeding from the gunshot wound as he ran for his life. Yet, he was still being pursued. Imagine the fear, the pain, and the desperation of a child trying to escape death. With adrenaline rushing through his body, he kept running, hoping to find safety.
No child should ever have to experience such terror, let alone die in such a cruel and painful manner. It is heartbreaking beyond words. 💔

Sam Cooke was shot dead by a motel manager in Los Angeles in December 1964, and five days later a coroner's jury ruled it justifiable homicide. The only witnesses were the woman who pulled the trigger and the woman who had run off with his clothes.
He was 33 and one of the biggest Black stars in America, the voice of "You Send Me" and "Wonderful World," and he ran his own record label. "A Change Is Gonna Come" came out after he was gone.
That night he drove a woman named Elisa Boyer to the Hacienda Motel on South Figueroa Street. She told police he took her there against her will and tried to force himself on her, so when he went into the bathroom she ran, grabbing his clothes on the way out.
Cooke went looking for her in a sport jacket and one shoe. The manager, Bertha Franklin, said he broke into her office and grabbed her, so she shot him. By her account he said "Lady, you shot me," kept coming, and she hit him with a broomstick until he went down.
In the video below Cooke sits with Dick Clark eight months earlier and says the best thing that could happen to him would be hits for the young singers he works with. "I will knock on wood," he laughs. Then the coroner's report, and the pathologist Cyril Wecht walking through Franklin's version.
Police found $108 in a money clip in his Ferrari. Muhammad Ali, his close friend, said that if Cooke had been Frank Sinatra, the Beatles or Ricky Nelson, "the FBI would be investigating." Etta James saw his body before the funeral and wrote that "no woman with a broomstick could have inflicted that kind of beating against a strong, full-grown man."
Was it self-defense in a cheap motel, or a story a jury signed off on in five days?
