Just watched Captain America: Brave New World. It was way better than I expected - not a great movie but entertaining nonetheless |

Man! 😌the way she cleared his clothes with just her fingers was real smooth and she be wasting her powers on architecture. Dumb and extremely stupid. She could literally change the world and make everyone in Africa and elsewhere rich and change the fabric of human civilization but she decided to waste it on building treehouses and living with her parents

Ojagun:It isn’t - Eternals made 180 million dollars in its first 3 days and went on to Bomb! Brave New World made 194 million - super close. It all depends on its staying power and it’s second day weekend. Also - its not doing very well in China which is a big deal! |

abduleez1:One of my best shows of all time and the best show you’ve recommended but I’ll definitely not watch it till the show is done- the suspense of white lotus especially at the last episodes are insane and I can’t stand waiting for 7 days 😭 PS- they shouldn't have changed the opening credit music |

NobleStag007:Why would you even respond to someone as dumb and ignorant as he is🤦🏾♂️😪- the fact anyone would call Solo Leveling or even Attack on Titans which is not even PG-13 but close to 18+ a cartoon just shows bro is living in a 1980s bubble and has the mindset of a 70 year drunk uncle.

| Crime › First Gay Imam Shot Dead In South Africa by Illusioneffect(op): 4:27pm On Feb 16, 2025 |
Muhsin Hendricks, a pioneering figure dubbed the world's first openly gay imam, has been shot dead in South Africa. The 57-year-old cleric ran a mosque in Cape Town intended as a safe haven for gay and other marginalised Muslims. He was killed on Saturday morning after the car in which he was travelling near the southern city of Gqeberha was ambushed. "Two unknown suspects with covered faces got out of the vehicle and started firing multiple shots at the vehicle," police said in a statement. News of Hendricks' death has sent shockwaves through the LGBTQ+ community and beyond, prompting an outpouring of tributes from across the globe. Julia Ehrt, executive director at the International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Intersex Association (Ilga), called on the authorities to thoroughly investigate "what we fear may be a hate crime". "He supported and mentored so many people in South Africa and around the world in their journey to reconcile with their faith, and his life has been a testament to the healing that solidarity across communities can bring in everyone's lives," she said. Born free, killed by hate - the price of being gay in South Africa The volunteers taking on South African crime Hendricks was killed after he had reportedly officiated at a lesbian wedding, though this has not been officially confirmed. The details of the attack emerged through security footage that was shared on social media. It shows a car pulling up and blocking the vehicle in which Hendricks was travelling as it was pulling away from the curb. According to police, the imam was in the back seat. The angle of CCTV footage reveals what happened from one side of the road - an assailant jumps out of a car, runs to the ambushed vehicle and shoots repeatedly through the back passenger window. Hendricks' Al-Ghurbaah Foundation, which runs the Masjidul Ghurbaah mosque in the Wynberg suburb of Cape Town, confirmed he had died in a targeted attack on Saturday morning. But Abdulmugheeth Petersen, chair of the foundation's board, appealed via a WhatsApp group for their followers to be patient, stressing the importance of protecting Hendricks' family. Hendricks' work challenged traditional interpretations of Islam and championed a compassionate, inclusive faith. South Africa's post-apartheid constitution was the first in the world to protect people from discrimination because of their sexual orientation and in 2006, became the first country in Africa to legalise same-sex marriage. But despite a thriving LGBT community, gay people still face discrimination and violence. The country also has one of the highest murder rates in the world. Hendricks came out as gay in 1996, which shocked the wider Muslim community in Cape Town and elsewhere. That same year, he founded The Inner Circle, an organisation providing support and a safe space for queer Muslims seeking to reconcile their faith and sexuality before going on to establish the inclusive Masjidul Ghurbaah mosque. He was the subject of a documentary in 2022 called The Radical, in which he said about the threats he faced: "The need to be authentic was greater than the fear to die." Hendricks often spoke about the importance of interfaith dialogue and the need to address the mental health issues and trauma faced by LGBTQ+ individuals within religious communities. He told the Ilga World Conference in Cape Town last year: "It is important that we stop to look at religion as the enemy." Reverend Jide Macaulay, an openly gay Anglican minister, described Hendricks' death as "truly heartbreaking". The British-Nigerian LGBTQ rights activist runs House of Rainbow, an organisation that provides support for gay people in Nigeria where same-sex relationships or public displays of affection are illegal, and paid tribute to Hendricks' bravery. "Your leadership, courage, and unwavering dedication to inclusive faith communities have left an indelible mark," he said. Sadiq Lawal, a gay Muslim man living in Nigeria, told the BBC that Hendricks, had made such an impact as he had made "the impossible possible" by saying the words: "I'm a queer imam." "He's a mentor to many queer Muslims in Africa, especially in Nigeria, because of religious extremism," he said. "I'm still in shock and devastated." BBC News - https:///bwbuOSM6dd 1 Like

I hate how we've to wait for just 20 minutes solo leveling episodes like it's a tv comedy sitcom. Episode 7 has no action but still solid nonetheless |

Calibrator:Sincerely and we have like 10 episodes left of the season😭😭. Solo leveling should be the industry standard for amazing animation I can't imagine the sleepless nights the anators had to go through to animate every frame esp to go extra hard to animate flags, hair normal stuff no one would care about! |

GloriousGbola:That's actually a baseless accusation😂 I never said anything about Kdot having only a black audience. Also - not like us having 230 million views is not viable in my analogy. ROSE released a song with a billion views on YouTube in less than 2 months does that make her more popular than Kdot in America😒 abduleez1:I said I loved SZA's part more than Kdots' how did that turn to SZA is not popular than Kendrick. 😒 pu7pl3:Being too loud (which it wasn't in my opinion) doesn't mean everyone in the audience responded! If you really want to know what it means for an entire audience to respond too music check out Eminem's Superbowl halftime show or even Michael Jackson's https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdsUKphmB3Y 3 Likes |

pu7pl3:I can understand It seems strange from where you're standing😪 but it is not to me and a lot of Americans who are not stuck online - which is a lot. There's a lot you guys sincerely don't know- I can bet my entire life earnings that there are a lot more Americans who know about Jason Aldean music than Kdot. The music you listen to are played in American cities and are very popular to you all but it's a totally different scenario in the 'country' and small towns which is where most Americans stay🤷🏾♂️ - the way they listen to their music is different - do you think the radio stations are blasting a black guy's song singing paedophile in Iowa or Kentucky? You probably still won't understand... anyways 6 Likes 1 Share |

Nickshrapnel:Uhmmm bro...... Looks like you definitely don't know anything about the super bowl😒 and Americans. Every American watches football on tv even Americans in the country side - farmers, milkers, the Amish - a larger percentage of Americans don't listen to rap music and go on the internet or Twitter to listen to a beef they don't give af about. Most Americans in the countryside - middle aged and old dad Americans save up through the year to travel and get a ticket to the Superbowl - 90% of the audience are there to watch the game not the halftime show - that's just the added bonus - that's why most Superbowl headliners don't even get paid to host the super bowl and are just there for the publicity since over 250 million watch the game every year which is a third of the US population! They even have to say there name and introduce themselves after all the singing. So even more than 70% don't know any of Kendrick Lamar's songs and a lot have never even heard of him - I can tell you more people there know about Carrie Underwood and Dolly Parton than Kendrick Lamar. Remember it's rap - rap music is not very popular compared to the rest it's just very loud online 6 Likes 1 Share |

pu7pl3:70% of the audience were white Americans who have never heard his music. His other fans would surely cheer. Haven't you seen videos from the stadium audience?😂 People were looking clueless and folding their hands asking who is that? Also- his lyrics were difficult to understand. Compare the Dr. Dre's and Eminem's Superbowl audience cheer to this - you'd understand what I'm talking about 3 Likes 1 Share |

Baddestguyp:EXACTLY!!!! The show is getting worse. Ordinary heroes always beat the shit out of him that his brother has to step up for him- that’s just so stupid and they want us to believe he’s doing it because he doesn’t want to kill people. That's why I like animes like Solo Leveling - insane animations! I haven't actually seen better animations like this ep 6 in anime at all and the story is always easy to follow. Hollywood don't care anymore about animations except to suck money out of it 1 Like |

GloriousGbola:Wait!!😂😂😂😂 WTF?! You think 19 year olds are auditing the govt?! This is the kind of misinformation CNN and the rest are feeding you guys! Bro, you're being scammed silly. I'll give you the details👇 and I hope you actually try to understand instead of read to argue. If you really want to know what DOGE and the federal government is actually doing - the most significant information is in the Office of Budget and Management website and the US treasury Department websites not even from Elon Musk homepage because 90% of what he even types is satirical. The purpose of DOGE and the 20 year olds is to find money spent or trying to spend in the federal government that's wasteful, isn't needed or too expensive - like the FG giving 20m for condoms to Gaza or spending 80m on toilet seats - when they find this out it's their job to ADVISE the Federal government Treasury Department to cancel this contracts. Elon Musk doesn't have any power to cancel or audit ANYTHING - it's the job of the Treasury Dept. This is actually something Elon Musk actually did and always wanted to do when he was an intern in a hedge fund- Elon Musk actually studied Business and Accounting when he was in Penn State something the media doesn't want you to know about- he has also cut cost in the 3 different billion dollar companiew he owns. All the 20 year olds are doing is going through read-only federal govt data bases and finding out where the monies are coming from and where they're going and ticking out which is important and not and advising the govt on what to do- THAT IS THEIR ONLY JOB. 2 Likes |
