Sunday was nothing short of magical. Being invited to judge the interhall cookout at Babcock University was an honor, but what truly made it unforgettable was meeting so many of you—my supporters who have become family. Your smiles, your love, and your belief in me touched my heart in ways I can’t put into words. Moments like these remind me why I do what I do and inspire me to keep pushing forward. I got to meet the beautiful Ify's kitchen in person, the amazing Chef Kitts and the wonderful Chef Bee of Rent a chef as my co judges❤️ I also got my first ever award from the Babcock University Student Association and I’m honestly super grateful. Cheers to more 🥂 I just want to say thank you all for making me feel so loved and celebrated. This journey is ours, and I’m so blessed to have you all by my side. 💛 Forever grateful.

This already happened to me in Lake Tapawingo—and now it’s happening again in Lake Lotawana. I’m out here door knocking when two older residents followed me, interrogated me, and told me, “You didn’t need to be out there.” I told them I’m a candidate running for the county. The cops have been called on me, but I’m still going to continue and finish my door knocking. I’m not doing anything wrong. There’s probably a reason that their door wasn’t on my list in the first place. This is the reality of door knocking as a young Black candidate in Missouri—and it’s sad, but it won’t stop me. 👉 You can donate to our movement:

Yale University child psychiatry fellow Dr. Amanda Calhoun went on MSNBC to encourage people to shun their family members over the holidays for Voting for Trump: “If you are going through a situation where you have family members or you have close friends who you know have voted in ways that are against you, that are against your livelihood, then it’s completely fine to not be around those people, and to tell them why.. say, ‘I have a problem with the way that you voted because it went against my very livelihood, and I’m not going to be around you this holiday, I need to take some space for me.’”

Every weekend of my life for 35 years I’ve entertained people with the music and vibes I love. Last night at KoKo (Camden Palace) - House of Love for House is a Feeling, Rave Days and Shine, was absolutely magic. It’s hard to believe the music in these clips are 33 to 37 years old. For me every track I play be it live, on the radio, on my social media. Be it new music, or the classics, is no longer a case of simply playing the tracks. It’s celebrating them, and the fact I’m still here, and people are still showing a collective passion for the same vibes I’m passionate about. Last night was an onslaught of classic House music to Classic Rave music. I love doing this, and I’m truly grateful that people still come out and hear me play, or check what I’m pushing on radio and social media. In another 35 years I’ll be 85, god willing, I’ll still be doing it like this ❤️ #djlife #dj #housemusic #rave

P’Milk’s dreams #KatanyuTonightxGirlRulesSeries 💚: i once dreamed of becoming a veterinarian cuz i love animals. But it’s difficult, and i felt like my brain just wasn’t up to it, so it probably wasn’t the right fit for me. There was also a period when i felt lost. When i entered university, i submitted a portfolio first and ended up getting into Marketing at Maejo University. At that time, i just let myself go with the flow and study, since the group of friends around me was really good. 💚: After graduating, i wanted to become a flight attendant, like Namtan. I even tried to go to a prep course for it, but that institute closed down before i could continue. During my internship, i had a chance to intern with a car brand, but i didn’t really get to do anything there. That’s when i realized i don’t like doing repetitive work. 💚: Later, i got the opportunity to appear in an MV and some commercials, and i enjoyed it a lot. Eventually, that led me to joining GMMTV. 💚: After joining GMMTV, i developed another dream, i wanna open a home cafe. It would be a house with a cafe on the ground floor, and we’d live upstairs. There would be pets running around, and anyone who comes in would feel like they’re at home.

🤯 Is Satoshi Nakamoto the FOUNDER OF BTC 🤯? Listen #PiNetwork pioneers, this is for those who said I should go public and talk about #bitcoin and prove my identity but ask yourself this question 🙋‍♂️ The world 🌍 already know who I’m but they need conformity from my mouth to be able to use it for market manipulation and if you where in my choose would you give them that occasion ? The reason why #bitcoin stays the most secured and unbugged blockchain is because of the mystery of its unanonimity and the unknown of who’s behind it all thus making it practically impossible to be interrogated by the #IRS and #SEC not withstanding the #FBI That’s why I had to come out to deny my identity but I’d rather be powerful and unknown than known and loose my authenticity. That is why I’m vouching for Pi Network fire their building something incredibly beautiful with an amazing #picommunity and #ecosystem that it’s just a matter of time for it to outperform #btc and I’m 💯 bullish on $pi . It’s left with few days to #piday and trust me you’ll thank yourself especially early pioneer for holding on and been part of this revolutionary project that’s taking almost a deca in development.

There are 362 NCAA Division I head men’s basketball coaching positions in the country. I don’t take for granted how fortunate I am to be offered the opportunity to lead one of these programs, specifically, Houston Christian University (HCU). First, I want to thank the Lord for this opportunity. I want to thank HCU President Dr. Sloan, Director of Athletics Steve Moniaci, Deputy Athletic Director Stan Williamson, and James and Ann Bryant. All five of you have played a vital role in allowing my family the opportunity to move to Houston to join your prestigious institution. Thanks for your belief in me and our vision to reimagine and reinvigorate the men’s basketball program. I would like to thank and honor Coach Ron Cottrell and his coaching staffs who spent the last 33 years leading the HCU basketball program. This includes long-time assistants Steven Key and Jud Kinne as well as many other assistants. Ron and his staff dominated the NAIA and Red River Conference days of the 90’s and early 2000’s. They fearlessly led the program back to the NCAA Division I level, through the probationary period, to the Great West Conference, and to the Southland Conference. It is a privilege to follow Coach Cottrell and build on his body of work. I am grateful for the previous colleges and universities who afforded me the opportunity to lead their programs. Rock Valley College, Graceland University, and most recently and for the last six years, Emporia State University. I will be posting an in-depth message thanking some specific people who changed my life from Emporia State in the coming days. In the meantime, I want to express my gratitude for your support and love during our ESU tenure. The Emporia community is incredible. Alexys and I not only raised our four children in the community but we also watched your children grow, too. It was a special time in our family’s life. Thanks to my wife and children, my parents, my assistants, and our former student-athletes. College athletics is all about people and creating value for each other. Thanks for partnering with me each day as we pressed forward to make degree progress, impact our community, and win games and championships. The work continues with great excitement for the future at Houston Christian University. As George Strait famously sings, “Take me to Texas.” Proverbs 19:21

The number one predictor of whether someone will graduate from college is being raised by two married parents. The data on this is crystal clear. And it aligns with my own experience. Growing up, I had five close friends. Of the six of us, none were raised by two married parents. When I look at our life trajectories, the differences are stark. I’m the only one who eventually earned a college degree—but that didn’t happen until much later, after eight years in the military helped me get my life on track. Two of my friends ended up in prison. One was shot and killed. The others are doing their best, working low-wage jobs on the margins of society. They're surviving, but it’s been a struggle. Then I got to Yale—and it was a completely different world. Almost everyone I met came from a stable, two-parent household. What’s ironic is that the people most likely to downplay the importance of married parents are often the ones who quietly follow that exact path. They have college degrees, six-figure incomes, and traditional family lives. There’s a Yale Law professor who wrote a book about meritocracy, and he has a great line: today’s elites are “non-practicing libertines.” In other words, they preach "you do you" and claim all family structures are equal, but in their own lives, they marry, stay married, prioritize education, and invest in their kids’ futures.

Fagnani: Do you still attend Sociology? Zeudi: Yes, I still attend—I’m still enrolled. F: Because when people ask you how long you have left until graduation, or when you’ll graduate, you don’t take it very well. In a livestream you said: “I’ll do university whenever the fuck I want. You’re a pain in the ass and make me anxious. I’ll graduate when I feel like it. Right now I’m doing something else. I attend university for personal culture, not to say: I have a degree, I have a piece of paper. I don’t give a damn. You’re a pain in the ass, my God.” You took it very well, I see? Zeudi: I’ll explain why. I think people shouldn’t put too much pressure on young people who are enrolled in university. Maybe I’ll also send a message to parents. But it’s true, because there are people who feel the pressure of university and can’t manage to pass their exams. F: So let’s make an appeal: study calmly, don’t rush. Take 15 years—it’s the same. Z: Yes, it’s the same, 15 years—it’s the same. F: Imagine I wanted to ask when you’ll graduate, I’m scared. Z: I don’t know when I’ll graduate, honestly. F: I’m joking, it was a joke. Z: Still, the fact is that everyone has their own timing. I think that’s the message that should come across. F: Let’s say that if a degree program is meant to take four years, there’s a reason. Z: Of course, that’s true. But I didn’t choose Sociology. F: Was it something forced on you? Z: Yes, because I liked the idea of continuing to study.

Long Post ! The internet is celebrating #TMC nomination of Menaka Guruswamy to the #RajyaSabha, with many highlighting that she comes from the LGBTQ+ community. Representation matters - there is no doubt about that. But for many of us, including myself , what truly stands out is something even bigger: her extraordinary merit and body of work. Before I even knew about her personal identity, (which is none of my business) I knew her as one of the sharpest legal minds in the country. A Senior Advocate at the Supreme Court of India, she is known for her clarity of argument, intellectual rigour, and fierce commitment to constitutional values. She can standup in a courtroom and never use her gender or sexuality to make an argument. She can shut down people without saying “excuse me, I am a woman and ladies first” Look at the journey - Alumna of National Law School of India University, University of Oxford, and Harvard Law School. A Rhodes Scholarship recipient. B. R. Ambedkar Research Scholar and Lecturer at Columbia University. She has taught at Yale University, the University of Toronto, and New York University. In 2019, she and Arundhati Katju were named among Time’s 100 most influential people in the world. That is not just representation. That is excellence. Yes, she has been an important voice in advancing LGBTQ+ rights. But what makes her remarkable is that she argues with logic, scholarship, and constitutional depth…not identity. Her work speaks first. And perhaps that’s the real message here: people from the LGBTQ+ community are not seeking validation through labels. They are living with dignity, building careers, shaping institutions, and through their work making it easier for society to shed prejudice. So when Menaka Guruswamy enters the Rajya Sabha, it shouldn’t be reduced to a single aspect of who she is. She will walk in there with SEVERAL DEGREES THAT SHE WILL NEVER OR NEVER HAVE TO HIDE. That is the qualification that matters. And that is worth celebrating.

Long Post ! The internet is celebrating #TMC nomination of Menaka Guruswamy to the #RajyaSabha, with many highlighting that she comes from the LGBTQ+ community. Representation matters - there is no doubt about that. But for many of us, including myself , what truly stands out is something even bigger: her extraordinary merit and body of work. Before I even knew about her personal identity, (which is none of my business) I knew her as one of the sharpest legal minds in the country. A Senior Advocate at the Supreme Court of India, she is known for her clarity of argument, intellectual rigour, and fierce commitment to constitutional values. She can standup in a courtroom and never use her gender or sexuality to make an argument. She can shut down people without saying “excuse me, I am a woman and ladies first” Look at the journey - Alumna of National Law School of India University, University of Oxford, and Harvard Law School. A Rhodes Scholarship recipient. B. R. Ambedkar Research Scholar and Lecturer at Columbia University. She has taught at Yale University, the University of Toronto, and New York University. In 2019, she and Arundhati Katju were named among Time’s 100 most influential people in the world. That is not just representation. That is excellence.

I’m standing here in what used to be our home, and the heartbreak is truly indescribable.💔🥺 When I first saw the news, I was in complete shock—I couldn’t process it. But now, standing here and seeing it with my own eyes, it feels like my heart has shattered into a million pieces.😢💔 This house wasn’t just a place to live— It was where we dreamed, laughed, and created the most beautiful memories as a family. It was where Phoenix’s little hands made art that I’ll cherish forever, where love and life filled every corner. To see it reduced to ashes… it’s devastating beyond words.💔 What breaks my heart even more is knowing that this isn’t just my story. So many people have lost everything. It’s not just walls and roofs—it’s the memories that made those houses homes. It’s the photos, the keepsakes, the irreplaceable pieces of our lives.😭 And yet, in this pain, I know I’m incredibly lucky. My loved ones, my babies, and my pets are safe.🥹 That’s the most important thing, and I’m holding onto that gratitude with everything I have. And beyond grateful to all the the fire fighters, first responders and volunteers risking their lives to fight these fires.🥺🙏 To everyone who has sent love, prayers, and kindness—you’ve reminded me that even in the ashes, there is still beauty in this world.🥹 Thank you from the deepest part of my heart. ❤️ And to everyone going through this pain, please know you’re not alone. We’re in this together. We will rebuild, we will heal, and we will rise stronger than before. Let this be a reminder to hold your loved ones close. Cherish the moments. Life can change in an instant, and it’s the love we share that truly matters. I’m sending all my love to everyone who is hurting right now.🥺🙏

ROSALÍA comments that she was not feeling very well during last night’s closing show of the European leg of the LUX TOUR in London: “I’m going to be completely honest with you. Um... I’m so happy that I’m able to stand on my feet today because yesterday... my body was giving up on me a little bit on stage. And today... I just hope I can finish the show. That’s the only thing on my mind because it’s so important for me to do this tonight, and I feel much better, but yeah... whew! Tonight is not just any night, you know? It’s the final... ‘LUX’ tour... LUX show? Let’s just say LUX. La noche de LUX! Yeah, it’s the last one we’re doing in Europe. And I realized that my body... the body has its own truth, ¿sabes? It’s not about ideas, desires, schedules, or plans. It’s not about that. And I always... I always try to keep going. I always, always try to push through despite the limitations of my own body, or despite the exhaustion, ¿sabes? Que uno puede sentir cuando estás de tour, haciendo shows y shows y shows. Sometimes even at the expense of my own, um... centeredness, in a way, ¿sabes? But I keep doing this, and I keep pushing, and I keep coming... doing this.”

I’m going to be honest. It’s been really hard on me. I’m unapologetically black in a predominantly white space and I face battles that no one else has to deal with. Culturally I’m different from literally every other person in this space so I feel completely misunderstood at times. People create fake accounts to harass me, I’ve been called the N word more times than I ever have in my life, people who I don’t even know go on podcasts and make up lies about me being a “runner”. Some people even found my mom’s number on the internet and called her house trying to get to me. Even when I’m winning it feels like every single bet or analysis is life or death. I don’t feel like I’m given the grace that other people may get who look different from me. I love what I do but I don’t deserve to be treated the way I’m treated by people especially for how much I’ve given to this space. I also don’t take kindly to being constantly called a DEI hire with all the things I’ve accomplished either. I probably don’t handle it the best. Ivy League degree aside, deep down I’m still a black kid from South West Philly and when I feel attacked, I revert back to the version of me that had to survive growing up. I try not to engage as much and ignore the noise but I’m not perfect. I’m still growing and still trying to become the best version of myself.

I’m thrilled to share that, as of today, I have officially joined as co-founder and new owner!! 🤍 Sonsie is an emerging, beautiful, vegan & cruelty-free skincare company… with an important message that I want to help share with the world. To me, true beauty is about celebrating authenticity… I want to look like myself, feel like myself, and that means taking care of myself — inside and out… I believe our differences are what make us beautiful and interesting to one another… The goal is to realize our own purpose on earth… and it starts with believing in ourselves… to have courage… to be what no one else is, and find strength in that — It goes beyond healthy skin. I am so proud to be a part of this world… and on my terms, finally. We have so much planned and I cannot wait to share more. Just simple, loving skincare for all ✨

I’ve hemmed and hawed over whether to make this post, and I’m still not convinced it’s the right thing, but I’ve had quite a few folks reach out to see where I’ve been. So…….I have a mass on my stomach. It is malignant. Much of my stomach was removed as a result of illness 4 years ago, so surgery to remove the mass is not an option. I’ve opted out of chemo and radiation treatments, as well. I’m not giving up, though. I’m going to take a holistic approach to the fight by strengthening my body and making dietary changes. The prognosis is not good, but I intend to give it my best shot. I won’t be posting about this part of my journey. I did post a lot about my illness several years ago, but that was after I recovered, my recovery was nothing short of a miracle, and I wrote about it to give hope and encouragement to others facing similar situations. Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like there will be a very hopeful or encouraging end this time. I am so thankful for everyone I’ve met, and not met, here. You all have shared some wonderful and beautiful parts of my life, as well as supported and encouraged me through some horrific moments. I am blessed to call you my friends, my family. I love you all, and I will think of you often.❤️ Keep fighting the good fights, and I will, too! Keep looking for good. It’s out there. And, keep GOD in your heart. He knows what he’s doing. Please give this song a listen. It is my anthem. Thy Will Be Done🎶

My mom is there for every step of my growth — #srchafreen‌ #MyMomMyMatexFreen #CentralPattana 🌷: Actually, for me, success means… I feel I achieve success every single day, and my mom is there in each one of those days. She’s a part of even the smallest successes. Whether it’s a big project or something I’d call “global” or truly significant in my life, my mom is there for every step of my growth. Since I was a kid, even if it was just getting to sing on stage or something like that, my mom would already be so happy. And through middle school, high school, and university, every step of my growth, I’ve always had my mom by my side. Even during the times when we weren’t together or didn’t live in the same house during my teenage years, she was still always with me. Like, she would text me saying things like, “I believe you can do anything” — “Keep going” — “I’m rooting for you”, something like this. And that’s been one of the driving forces that makes me feel that no matter what happens, my mom will always be by my side.

Lamine’s girlfriend’s brother in the video said: “Hi Stefano, how are you? I’m Inés’s little brother, and I’m here to tell you that she is in love with you. When she saw you on TikTok, she couldn’t stop telling me how handsome you are. My sister is 20 years old, she studies diplomacy at university, and she works in social media here in Spain. She is very successful. We need you to come to Spain to meet her, so you can fall in love with her and leave me in peace. She is very fun and witty, I always laugh when I’m with her, and she is even willing to learn Italian for you. Kisses, and we look forward to your reply.” It turns out that even before cheating on her 5-year boyfriend, she had already been trying to approach this famous handsome guy and even attempted to seduce Lamine too at the same time. Luckily, he was smart enough to stay away from this snake, but Lamine still a victim from this disgusting attention seeker, it’s very sad.
