RIP 🕊️ The First King Of Reggae 🇯🇲

So sad to say goodbye to another music legend. Farewell, Jimmy Cliff.

If you’ve ever sung or danced to I Can See Clearly Now, Many Rivers to Cross, The Harder They Come, Wonderful World, Beautiful People’… raise a glass to the reggae pioneer.

#JimmyCliff 💚🖤💚

I built food, care, fellowship and rest into my birthday. Got a fresh tattoo (Love, in Morse code). I am intentional with my movements as well as my stillness. 😎

In 2008, a blogger named Curtis Yarvin called for a future president to kill foreign aid programs as part of a plan to replace democracy with dictatorship.

Now 600,000 people are dead—and 14 million will die by 2030, according to the Lancet. This is the running death toll of tech fascism.
One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc
The Shutdown of U.S.A.I.D. Has Already Killed Hundreds of Thousands
The short documentary “Rovina’s Choice” tells the story of what goes when aid goes.

Excuse me, @theguardian.com, I'd like to report an error in your headline; this should read "James D Watson, who co-discovered Rosalind Franklin's notebook showing her discovery of DNA's twisted-ladder structure, dies aged 97"

This is really what it’s all about. They’re not upset about socialism or whatever. They’re upset that Mamdani represents an upending of traditional influence and city politics. He won’t take their calls because he cares more about people who traditionally can’t get the mayor on the phone.
 Canadian multimillionaire and Shark Tank guy Kevin O'Leary went on TV to say he's upset Zohran won't talk to him: "I and others who invest in real estate have tried to get a meeting to figure out what's rhetoric and what's policy. So far for me it's been crickets."

Pseudoscorpions are small arachnids that are often overlooked. They prey on clothes moth larvae, carpet beetle larvae, booklice, ants, mites, and small flies. Pseudoscorpions will sometimes hitch rides to new locations on other insects. #Arachtober

IDEK who is comparing themselves to MJ today but they can shut the entire fuck up.
Whatever else you can say about the man--and there is A LOT--he was dedicated to his craft

It’s so goddamn annoying. He doesn’t hold a candle to any period of MJ’s dancing. Not one time does that plastic tip black and mild demonstrate a free dancing ability even close to MJ’s. Doesn’t matter how well he follows choreography or flails his body about.
We’re comparing Mike to that violent dancing banana in pajamas l?!
