Build Your Own Mini Boat (Video)
February 20, 2018
Toys for the water! This DIY boat is dope with extra awesome sauce boss! Wonder if they make a submarine kit, or maybe plan to. At the price point here, even the thriftiest enthusiast could end up with a fleet in a few short years.
These made to order $950 kits will allow you to build your very own mini boat at home.
American company Rapid Whale has created “Mini Boat,” a miniature boat measuring 6ft in length and around 50kg in weight. Mini Boat is powered by two 12-volt batteries, allowing the miniature rig to reach a top speed of 4 mph.

February 20, 2018
Okay, just so you know… hooper cutie Candace Parker has always been the finest wine to yours truly. When the world is going Serena Williams, I am [not so] low-key saying, “Yeaaahh, leave Candace aaaaall to meee.”
And her husband… rats.
Well, here she is in an ice bath. So nippy chilly, and still chilling with hype-for-no-reason Kevin Hart. Hahaaa!

Respect Due: When John McCain Ran Against Barack Obama (Video)
February 20, 2018
Here’s the thing: We CAN agree without being disagreeable. We can ALL be of one nation and be completely opposite in our views, even values. BUT we should value AND respect each other. And we should expect the candidates – yes ALL candidates – to AT LEAST hold to that level of decorum.
We have seen when they have not. Watch here though, when the guy I did NOT vote for showed RESPECT for his opponent. John McCain, stood tall here. Gave respect to his opponent, who would become President.
Remember, folks. The person running against your person is not ‘bad’ for that reason. Give credit when earned and respect when it is due. Respect Senator McCain. Respect.

Technology: Whirlpool Turbines Designed To Provide Renewable Energy For Small Communities (Video)
February 19, 2018
We’ve seen this work on a large scale… Hoover Dam and others… where you wall up a huge reservoir of water and then let it go; the force of the waterfall spinning a turbine that generates electricity. It is all about turning potential into kinetic energy and harnessing the power.
So what if we could do that on a smaller scale? Oh wait, this is no longer a ‘what if’ thing. This is a ‘why not’ thing. And it is awesome!
Clean, renewable, no harm to inhabitants (including the fish), and only one moving part. Genius!

How To Get Gun Control Legislation Passed NOW (Video)
February 19, 2018
Okay, so you see Trevor Noah with Neal Brennan at The Daily Show desk on COMEDY Central. So, it is okay – even expected – for you to laugh. But dude’s idea is brilliant, and it actually worked… back in the ’60s. Score one for #BlackPanther for real #AmericanSymbolsMatter
The ‘solution’ to which Neal referred above is presented in the clip embedded after the jump. Scenes from that earlier ‘Panther’ movie. All Power To The People #Forever

Lebron James & Kevin Durant Speak On How They Still Feel The Hate As Black Men In America (Video)
February 19, 2018
Great episode. Great series. Great channel #RollingWithTheChampion #Uninterrupted
To keep it a buck, the hatred sees faaaarr beyond the bucks. Remember when Chris Rock joked that White audience members would never trade places with him… and he’s RICH!? Not really a joke.
Just hear what these rich, popular, powerful, [still] Black men have to say. And it’s not just the “other man” putting the pressure on them. Just saying. Just watch.
LeBron James and Kevin Durant KEPT IT 100% REAL on the hate they get, plus really making it as a Black man in America — especially during these times.

February 16, 2018
Yep. By now, you’d think Tom would be have put his acting career on Cruise control (pause for the groans and ‘boos’… moving on). But naaaah, son, he’s still ’bout that action, bawse! Another “Mission Impossible” movie. Yessir!
The best intentions often come back to haunt you.

Tall Black Guy – “A Franklin Black Excursion” (EP)
February 15, 2018
Always interesting to see where producers ‘go’ when they let their minds wander. Rhythm Roulette would not have done this justice. Didn’t really even know it was going down like this ’til TBG hit us in the inbox with a note that the cooking was done and the plate was served. Truly an “Excursion”… Go on the trip with him.
