Awkward Goat cooked them so badly there isn't even... an argument left. 🔥🔥 Yesterday: “How dare women sell subscriptions? Have some dignity.” Today: “A soldier sees another way to serve.” Same platform. Same business model. Different gender. Apparently the moral outrage wasn't about subscriptions after all. It was about women having the freedom to make money without asking permission. 💀show more

This is a Michael Jordan story.🐐 Right after 57-year-old... MJ hits a fadeaway on a court with NFL GOAT Tom Brady and the others, he tells them, “You better pull up Michael Jordan on YouTube.” This is what it looks like when MJ, standing at the top of every sport, talks to someone at the top of another sport in exactly the same way.🔥 Even Tom Brady and the rest are just another opponent here. MJ’s competitive fire doesn’t care about the sport or the age. Is there a current player who can create that same energy?show more

I am not trying to be funny, but most... people did not know this was a man in this video! Once being told that it was a man, the majority of black women were still saying how beautiful his face was! Truthfully bro looks like an above above average black woman and they were agreeing talking about HIS facecard will never be declined! So if most Transgay men wear wigs, heavy make up, bbls, fake breast, and have exaggerated voices & movements to look like women, why are black women mimicking them then? Why are they doing the same things? It is sad that as a black man, we have to chose from black women, most of whom look and act just like black men pretending to be women!show more

You try to tell guys about this and they... don’t understand. I have been the broke guy with women paying for everything for me. I have had women trying to move me into their place when I was in-debt and unemployed. We are talking very attractive women, with plenty of options with men who have jobs, houses, etc. Women are not attracted to money in and of itself. Yes, there are broke women who are desperate for a man who will pay their bills for them. But as soon as you hit middle class or higher, money becomes less and less of a concern to women. There are a lot of women out there who are not worried about money at all and are just looking for a guy they’re attracted to. By ‘attracted’, we’re not talking ‘Adonis-tier Chad’ (another widespread Internet rumor); instead, we’re talking: • Cool • Fun • Confident • Sexy • Social skills • Knows what he is ABOUT with a solid male FRAME A little ambition doesn’t hurt, either. No middle or upper class girl wants to date the guy who’s broke and is content to STAY broke. But if you’re down and out but with big dreams, and you’re working on them, that’ll sweep a lot of women right up. Then instead of going for a guy who’s a ‘sure thing’, they get to bet on an up-and-comer. Money’s great to have if you have it. But there are a lot of dudes with money who do not have women. There are a lot of dudes who have women who do not have money. Money ≠ women. It is just a nice tool for making life easier.show more

Erika Eleniak is 56, a Baywatch star from thirty... years ago, and TMZ reports she is now making about $10,000 a week with just over 1,100 subscribers. That is a message to every studio that tossed women aside the second they hit their thirties. Hollywood used her when she was young, then acted like the clock ran out. She did not wait for another role. She took the audience that still wanted her and turned it into a paycheck she controls. This is empowerment, capitalism, and freedom in the same sentence. You do not have to like the business. You can still respect a woman who stopped asking executives for permission. Age was never the real limit. Their control was.show more

What struck me about this video of “fake virginity... blood” being sold in Northern Nigeria is not the product itself, but the moral education that makes such a product necessary. Deception does not appear out of nowhere. It is learned. And as bell hooks reminds us, patriarchy is one of the most effective schools of deception we have. When a society places impossible and one-sided moral demands on women, while demanding almost nothing from men, it does not produce virtue. It produces performance. Virginity here is not really about sex. It is about proof. About a woman’s body being turned into evidence. The hymen becomes a certificate of value. Blood becomes currency. Honour becomes something that must be staged convincingly enough to satisfy male judgment. Growing up in Northern Nigeria, many of us heard the stories in whispers. Rumours about the lengths people went to preserve the myth of virginity. Women avoiding vaginal penetration entirely. Anal sex used as a workaround, so that on the wedding night the illusion could be completed. Blood shown. Husband reassured. Honour “intact.” Everyone colluding in a lie that everyone knows is a lie. This is not moral decay. It is moral absolutism doing what it always does. It teaches people how to deceive in order to survive. bell hooks writes that patriarchy teaches men and women to lie in different ways. Men learn to lie about vulnerability. They are trained to suppress fear, tenderness, emotional need, because honesty would cost them power or status. Women, on the other hand, learn to lie to stay safe. They learn that telling the truth about their bodies, desires, or histories can bring punishment, abandonment, or violence. So women learn concealment. Performance. Strategic silence. Seen this way, fake virginity blood is not shocking. It is logical. It is a market solution to a moral contradiction. If a woman’s worth is reduced to an anatomical fiction, she will find a way to manufacture that fiction. And we must ask the obvious question: where is the demand for virginity from men? Where is the obsession with their bodies as proof of moral worth? Where are the rituals, the products, the inspections? Men are assumed whole by default. Women must prove themselves worthy. The tragedy is not that women deceive. The tragedy is that honesty is made dangerous for them. A society that truly cared about morality would start with symmetry. It would care less about blood on bedsheets and more about kindness, responsibility, and mutual respect. Until then, deception will continue to flourish. Not because women are immoral, but because patriarchy demands purity while rewarding power. And whenever purity is demanded without justice, lies will follow.show more

Whenever I’m discouraged, I’ll remember that ~4,000 Christian women... from across the country gathered to be challenged by Biblical truth, bolstered by earnest worship, & buoyed by Christian friendship. No fluff. No emotional manipulation. None of the superficial stuff so many Christian women are fed. Every speaker went full throttle in telling these women - with gentleness and love - what is good, right, and true about God, sin, holiness, sexuality, femininity, abortion, motherhood, marriage, and so much more. All of the messages I’ve received from attendees have been incredibly meaningful, but this one sums up the consensus nicely: “Walked out of there with ZERO fear of man.” Praise God! That has nothing to do with me or anyone else. It’s just the Holy Spirit doing what He does. And He was with us yesterday. It was palpable. Whenever I’m asked about my audience, I always tell people that they’re the kind of women you’d want to babysit your kids. Just the best people. Kind, grounded, thoughtful, wise. So many moms and babies were there. This message meant so much to me: “We couldn't stop talking about how many babies were there and how amazing the space was set up for nursing and pumping. It was so different than any other women's event when it came to those accommodations and how welcomed the sweet little babies were.” And this one: “Someone held my fussy baby for me so l could listen to worship. Never met them, but the sweetest lady. I was so thankful.” Women came alone and left with best friends. Others wept while they worshiped and were held and prayed for by the strangers next to and behind them. God is kind, and He is up to good things. If you only look to the news or X to tell you what’s going on, you might miss the biggest and best things happening. I’ll tell you this: God’s eternal plan of redemption is going off without a hitch, and He’s going to win in the end. Soli Deo Gloria!show more

If you have a girlfriend who is into fashion,... or had one years ago, she probably had a Vinted account. Vinted was back in the day the most unhinged female-gaze-focused site on earth. It was 99% women talking about fashion and other stuff. I think today it is a little more professional. The site is basically like eBay for clothes. It was created by a girl who was annoyed by creepy private messages on eBay and wanted a safe space for females. Anyhow, Vinted was the anti-X. On X, it’s an all-men audience having a completely comical understanding of the female gaze, and on Vinted, you basically had young women thinking men are way more emotional than we are. People who form their opinions on women based on Reddit posts, Pornhub, and incels on X are just ridiculous copers. You can always tell by them being completely one-sided and sexualizing everything. A guy on X would be like, “Haha, doesn’t she know that men don’t care about fingernails? She is so dumb.” Bro, women do their fingernails like you wrap your car. It’s not meant to impress the other gender. It’s also ridiculous when incels threaten women with, “He will pump and dump you.” They don’t care. To them, it’s just an adventure. Sex gets increasingly more important to you the harder it is for you to get. Also women understand intersex dynamics way better. They get feedback from an early age. They get complimented, approached, harried based on what they wear. Incel men get no feedback at all until they have their first gf. That’s why their styling is always way off when they try to impress women.show more

“He as a leader doesn’t have a supportive mindset.... He’s only focused on the team’s success.” The audacity?????????? We’re talking about Yang Jungwon, right? The same Jungwon who constantly supports the members’ individual schedules and solo projects? The same Jungwon who tuned in for Ni-ki’s AOTM, hyped up the members’ covers, secretly called Sunghoon while he was in Milan, and even went live before Sunoo’s birthday because he wanted to make sure everyone would treat him well? The same Jungwon who never misses an opportunity to praise the members, celebrate their achievements, and quietly look after them behind the scenes? To say he isn’t supportive is honestly one of the most ridiculous things I’ve ever read. The reason hs left is hs himself. Stop shifting all your anger and disappointment over hs decision to leave onto Jungwon. Jungwon is protecting the members. He’s protecting enhypen. And protecting his fans. He’s doing exactly what a leader is supposed to do. The fact that some of you can’t see that says more about you than it does about him.show more

I think this little boy has already discovered one... of life’s greatest mysteries: babies are absolutely hilarious… even when they do absolutely nothing. 😂❤️ There is something wonderfully funny about watching children interact because they have absolutely no interest in following the social rules adults spend years learning. An adult sees a baby and usually asks, “How old is he?” “Is he sleeping well?” “Does he eat properly?” “Who does he look like?” This little boy seems to have a much simpler approach: “Look at this tiny human. I love him. He is extremely entertaining.” And honestly, I respect the logic. The baby isn't telling jokes. He isn't doing magic tricks. He isn't performing some impressive dance. He is basically just lying there, staring around, peacefully existing. And somehow, that is enough. The boy looks at him and starts laughing as if the baby has just delivered the funniest comedy routine of the year. This is one of the things I love most about children. Their sense of humor doesn't need an explanation. They can find something fascinating that adults would completely overlook. A funny face. A strange little sound. A pair of tiny feet. Someone blinking at the wrong moment. Or apparently… a baby simply lying there. And the funniest part is that the baby seems completely unaware that he has become the star of the show. He isn't trying to impress anyone. He isn't even trying to be funny. He has apparently been hired for the role of “adorable baby” and has decided to take his responsibilities very seriously by doing absolutely nothing. Meanwhile, his older companion is having the time of his life. This is what makes childhood so special. Children haven't yet developed that complicated filter that tells them what is supposed to be interesting and what isn't. They don't need an expensive toy, a spectacular view, or some carefully planned activity. Give them another child and five minutes, and somehow they will invent their own entertainment. Adults spend money looking for happiness. Children can apparently find it lying on a blanket. And there is something refreshing about that. We grow up and become experts at overthinking everything. We worry about appearances, expectations, productivity, and whether we're having a “meaningful” experience. Children don't seem to care. They see something they like, and they react. They laugh because they're happy. They get excited because something catches their attention. They stare because they're curious. And when they have absolutely no idea what is happening, they simply keep watching. Maybe that's why moments like this feel so refreshing. There is no performance, no hidden agenda, and no attempt to make the moment look deeper than it is. It's just one little boy having a surprisingly serious conversation with a baby who hasn't learned how to talk yet. And somehow, the conversation seems to be going very well. I don't know what the baby was thinking. Maybe he was thinking about milk. Maybe he was thinking about sleep. Maybe he was thinking, “Why is this guy laughing at me?” But the boy clearly wasn't asking for an explanation. He was having fun. And perhaps that's one of the sweetest things about childhood: You don't need a reason to laugh when everything around you is still new. Adults could probably use a little more of that. 😂❤️show more

I am 30 years old today. 4th July 1995.... I started tweeting about 5 years ago. 25. In Thailand. Agency business. Some semblance of freedom. Escaped office wage cuckery hell. Working for myself. Doing it my way. I shared how I got to that point. Then came crypto. 2021. An ‘easy’ way to make money online. Especially if you knew good traders. Then came Money Dojo, which spawned from crypto, and realising all online money is made with other people. Last year was a breakout year. Tons of dojo ninjas made their first 5-6 figures in online money, mostly through crypto. 2025 can 10x that in the second half if our plans come to fruition and the stars align. It’s our time.

THE FASTEST WAY TO CATCH A SYNTHETIC MODEL ISN'T... HER FACE, IT'S THE FOUR THINGS AROUND IT THAT ALMOST NOBODY BOTHERS TO FAKE. ONCE YOU CAN READ THEM, YOU'LL NEVER SCROLL THE SAME WAY AGAIN. Everyone stares at the face hunting for a glitch. The face is the one thing the tools nail perfectly now. That's exactly why the real tells quietly migrated to the edges of the frame. Where to actually look: > The hands across multiple posts. A real person's rings, scars, and nail length hold steady. A generated one drifts, a ring blinks in and out, a knuckle reshapes between two shots taken "the same day" > The background twice. Real rooms repeat, the same lamp, the same chipped mug, the same clutter in the same corner. Generated backdrops rarely survive a second appearance intact > The follower-to-comment gap. Synthetic accounts often buy the reach they can't earn, so the comments feel strangely thin and generic under an enormous number > The bio's honesty. The clean operators write "AI" out loud. The ones hiding it are precisely the ones worth a second, harder look Now go back to the last account you couldn't quite call. Check the hands, not the face. The face was engineered to pass every test you'd think to run. The edges were an afterthought, and the afterthought is always the tell. The people who can read the edges in ten seconds are about to be very hard to sell to, and everyone else is still staring at a jawline that was built to be perfect.show more

So apparently everybody got mad because this dude thinks... its ok to price a raw card based on what grade it would get if sent to psa 🤡 Personally I wouldnt pay any amount of $$ for Jason Paige's autograph, as I wouldnt pay $$ i.e. for Nikki Lauda's autograph. (Back when I was this kid's age I'd probably value that auto more than a base set charizard though 🥲) That doesnt mean there arent people who wouldnt want to take that deal. What ticks me off is that most people that went ballistic towards Jason are the same people who virtue signal about "being all about the hobby, not the money". Brothers, it's cardboard. We assign value to it based on sentimental value, not any kind of hard intristic value. Check yourselves before going apeshit on someone who's making a living on the same business model as a vendor..show more

UPDATE ABOUT THE JERSEY SITUATION. Earlier today, Abazz sent... out 10 jerseys across different locations. Ilorin, Ogun, Lagos, Abuja, and Aba. So far, two recipients in Lagos have received theirs and reached out to me with concerns about the quality of the jerseys. At first, I didn’t believe it, but after seeing the videos, I understood why they felt that way. You just have to see the pictures and videos too. I immediately contacted Abazz to raise this, and he explained that what was sent was the “player’s version.” However, in one of the conversations I saw, a recipient requested to return the jersey, and Abazz responded by asking him to keep it while promising to send another jersey of his choice. Any club. Thankfully, others are yet to receive theirs, so this can still be properly addressed before more deliveries are completed. At this point, with more than one person reporting the same issue, it’s important to take it seriously and not treat it as a mistake. For me, this is not about dragging anyone or making noise over jerseys. It’s about integrity. It’s about trust. It’s about doing things the right way, especially when people are involved. I will continue to follow up on this to ensure that everyone who was promised a jersey gets something they are genuinely happy with. We all deserve fairness. Thank you for your patience and continued support, I’ll keep everyone updated.show more

Michael B. Jordan was recently asked on a podcast... why he has chosen to remain unmarried despite his wealth, fame, and history of dating high-profile women. “Honestly, most of the women I've come across in this industry seem to share the same objectives. A lot of them don't like engaging in deep, intellectual conversations maybe because it exposes a certain shallowness. There's also this level of arrogance and rudeness that shows up over time. Many aren't very logical about life, and they don't really have that family orientation I value. After being with them for a while, these flaws just keep revealing themselves. So at this point, I've kind of concluded that they're all the same. I'm just staying in my own space now, observing from a distance."show more

Today, we visited the Minab school in southern Iran,... where US forces massacred 168 students and teachers at the outset of the Trump-Netanyahu war of aggression on Iran. About ten minutes after we left the Minab school today, it was hit with a drone strike. (The aftermath of that strike was captured in this video). Yesterday, we were in the Iranian city of Bushehr, which lies on the Persian Gulf to the north of Minab. Shortly after we left our hotel in Bushehr, there was an airstrike on a target directly across the street from our hotel. While we were in Bushehr, we visited a marine terminal that had sustained damage in airstrikes conducted earlier this month. Shortly after we left the marine terminal, it too was hit with an airstrike. Another site that we visited in Bushehr yesterday was also hit with an airstrike shortly after we left it. Now all of this could be random. On the other hand, it may be that U.S.-Israeli forces are sending us a message. If in fact they are sending us a message, we have a message for them. Our message is that no amount of intimidation will stop us from exposing their monstrous crimes. #Iran #Iranwarshow more

How to make money on your faceless youtube channel... with affiliate before ever getting monetized i made over $23,000 from my faceless channel before youtube ever paid me a cent and here's the embarrassing part i literally FORGOT to apply for monetization. didn't even notice until i hit 121k subscribers. someone in my comments asked how much adsense was paying me and i just sat there like... oh no. that's how little adsense mattered to what i was building. let me break down exactly what i was doing instead, the same way i'd explain it to a friend: so everyone starting youtube waits for the magic 1,000 subs + 4,000 watch hours/ 10m views before they think they're allowed to earn. that waiting is the biggest beginner mistake on the whole platform. you don't need youtube's permission to make money from youtube. you need three things: a channel getting views (any views), an affiliate offer that fits your audience, and a link in your description. i was running mine through Glitchy. they've got a whole range of offers costco memberships, walmart, sam's club, target gift card offers, sweepstakes, cash app style offers, freebie offers the kind of low-friction stuff where the viewer doesn't have to buy anything expensive. they just sign up or enter, and you get paid per action. that last part matters more than people realise. you're not asking your audience to spend $200. you're showing them something free or nearly free that actually interests them. that's why it converts even with a small channel. now here's the part everyone gets wrong: matching the offer to the niche. you can't just slap any offer on any channel. the offer has to feel like a natural next step from the video they just watched: - frugal living / budgeting channel? costco, walmart, sam's club offers. your viewers are literally there to save money. - finance or "money hacks" content? gift card offers, cash back, sweeps. same audience, same desire. - giveaway / luck-based content? sweepstakes offers. it IS the content. - retirement & 55+ money content? membership deals + gift cards. older audiences actually complete these. - food & grocery content? grocery store offers are a perfect fit. they're already thinking about shopping. the question i ask before picking any offer: "would the person watching this video actually want this?" if the answer isn't an obvious yes, wrong offer. keep looking. one more thing that changed everything for me and almost nobody does this: don't send people straight to the offer link. build a simple landing page first. a raw affiliate link looks like spam. a clean little page that says what the offer is, who it's for, and what to do next looks professional and it converts so much better it's not even close. same traffic, same offer, double or triple the results just because of trust. you can build one in like 20 minutes now, there's zero excuse. so my actual flow was: video = description link = landing page = offer. that's it. that's the machine that quietly made $23k while i wasn't even monetized. and the funny part? when i finally DID turn on monetization at 121k subs, adsense just stacked on top of everything. now both run at the same time. but the affiliate side is the one that taught me how to actually sell adsense never teaches you anything. if you're sitting at 300 subs waiting for youtube to pay you, you're waiting for the wrong thing. the description box under your very first video is already a business. use it. if you want me to break down how i pick offers or set up the landing pages, say so in the replies i'll make it my next post. and follow, because i share everything i learned doing this the slow way.show more

This woman was going out and decided to pull... into a dark road on the side of the highway that doesn’t get much traffic. She pulls her car over and gets sets up a camera and gets out so that she could do a “fit check” to make sure her outfit looks nice. There was a man who was walking away from her, as soon as she turned her back, he turned around and started walking towards her. She should have been more aware of what was happening around her. I think the man was hoping she would stick around longer, that’s why he turned back around. Wouldn’t you pick a more busy place to do something like this instead of a remote road away from traffic. In college sometimes I was working some odd jobs to make ends meet so I didn’t have to take out a loan. That meant sometimes I was walking back to the apartment at night, most of the time it was busy and there were people still walking around in the middle of the night, getting food or trying to make it home. It was a colder night than usual, the fall goat was warning me that winter was coming. Colder nights meant less people out and about. On the way home I was going to swing by the corner store to grab something to eat so I wouldn’t have to cook. As I was walking out I saw that there were a group of people at the corner, just hanging out and having a smoke, it was dark and I couldn’t see how many there was. I turned around and went back into the store. I let the clerk know and he looked out to see what was going on and he saw them too. He said to be careful because sometimes gang members like to hang out by that corner. I couldn’t call the police because they technically weren’t doing anything but I wasn’t about to find out either. I ended up waiting until they left about 15 minutes later.c then I proceeded to walk home, but not without looking behind me to make sure I wasn’t being followed.show more

𝕿𝖍𝖊 𝕮𝖍𝖆𝖎𝖓𝖘 𝖂𝖊𝖗𝖊 𝕹𝖊𝖛𝖊𝖗 𝕾𝖙𝖗𝖔𝖓𝖌𝖊𝖗 𝕿𝖍𝖆𝖓 𝕿𝖍𝖊 𝖂𝖎𝖑𝖑 𝕿𝖔... 𝕰𝖘𝖈𝖆𝖕𝖊 The light over the sink was the color of a held breath. She stood there long enough for the tap to stop dripping and the house to go quiet around her, as if even the walls had decided to watch. Steam ghosted the glass, then thinned, and two angels looked at each other through what was left. One of them was wounded. Her wings, if they had ever been wings, hung wrong. Not broken in the pretty way stories like to paint. Broken in the living way. A shoulder drawn in. A mouth that remembered how to smile and no longer trusted the reflex. There was a mark violence leaves that no one else can point to and still she felt it, a wound under the skin. She had survived the night and then survived every morning after it, which is a second violence nobody counts. Across the glass the other angel was whole. Same face. Same bones. A version of her that still believed a room was only a room. Her hair fell the way it used to, easy, unguarded. Her eyes had not yet learned to measure a doorway or a tone of voice that changes too fast. She looked back with a brightness so intact it felt like a door slammed on a hymn. The wounded one wanted to hate her for it. She wanted to fall into her. She wanted to warn her. She could do none of those things. The glass would not allow passage. Time would not either. They stared until the air between them felt heavy. This was not one woman and her reflection. This was a threshold. Before and after occupying the same small bathroom, breathing the same cheap soap, refusing to blink first. She lifted her hand. The whole one lifted the same hand, a heartbeat late, as if memory had to catch up with the echo. Fingertips found the cold. Two lives met and failed to touch. The glass held them apart with a cruelty so ordinary it almost passed for furniture. Speak, the wounded one thought, though she did not know which of them she meant. The whole angel had no language for what was coming. That was her holiness and her helplessness. She could only remain as proof. Proof that there had been a self before the theft. Proof that the woman on this side of the glass was not a different creature, only a life interrupted and forced to continue. Something in the wounded angel’s chest tore and then... impossibly... kept beating. She didn't smash the mirror. People who have already been shattered learn the cost of breaking more glass. She looked until the two faces burned into one another: the girl who walked into the world unarmored, and the woman who walked out of the dark carrying her name like a lit match in a wind. When she finally turned from the sink, the whole angel did not vanish. She came too, folded into the wounded one the way a former country lives inside an exile. Not as a ghost. As a claim. Nearly 1 in 3 women on earth will stand at some version of this glass. The World Health Organization names it without poetry: physical violence, sexual violence, or both, at least once in a lifetime. Hundreds of millions. In the United States the numbers do not grow kinder. About 1 in 4 women report completed or attempted rape. Older national counts still used by survivor networks say 1 in 6. Most never see a courtroom. Most already know the face. The world prefers the whole angel in the glass. The world is less eager to look at the one who had to keep living in silence. I am one of these angels and so are many others. 💫This post is dedicated to all the other angels who remember like it was yesterday.show more
