the unbearable notice is; that you've to make up your mind to be the difference and not the other way round else people will misjudge you even though you're not that person.
It’s hard to imagine anyone doing justice to the role in the way that Hugh Jackman did in Fox’s X-Men franchise.
However, a new video has surfaced online teasing what Scott Eastwood could look like in the role (through the use of DeepFake technology) if he were to play the character in the MCU – and it’s a pretty convincing one.
“It’s safe to say that Wolverine is one of the most popular Marvel Comics characters of all time.”
BAMSMACKPOW
Following Disney’s recent merger with Fox, the rights to the X-Men characters have since found their way back to Marvel, meaning that the MCU can adapt all of the X-Men characters, including Wolverine – with rumors already beginning to swirl in regards to when he will debut.
YouTube user StryderHD has made an impression on fans of popular franchises in recent months with a string of convincing videos that reimagine what certain characters could look like with different actors playing their parts.
I was drawn in by the photo of the tall young Black man with a red tie, staring wistfully into the ether, and his mother, a black woman, statuesque, perfectly coiffed and staring straight into the camera.
I was intrigued by the headline, “A Black Student’s Mother Complained About ‘Fences.’ He Was Expelled” , which drew me in even further.
As someone who writes, researches, and lives a life of a Black mother fighting for anti-racism in America’s schools, I began to read with earnest interest, believing that I would be silently praising this mother as she fought for her child.
Now, Jamal’s mother, Faith, did not like the idea of reading this play in her son’s class, where he is the only (or one of a few) Black children.
INSIDERNOTES
A quick summary of the problem: This young man, Jamal, in the ninth grade, attends an elite private school in North Carolina.
In his freshman English class, the teacher assigned the play “Fences,” written by acclaimed Black playwright, August Wilson for the class to read.
Fences is a 1985 play about a working class Black family set in Pittsburgh in the 1950s. It won the 1987 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, and the Tony Award for Drama that same year. Fences was brought to the screen in 2016, with Denzel Washington and Viola Davis playing Troy and Rose.
“Viola Davis won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress that year.”
As the city goes dark coming from a blue town, people breaking laws and creating obstacles for others, who are willing to pay the ultimate price. Talk is a novelist.
I had a choice between two movies about jungle cruises this weekend. First, there’s Disney’s Jungle Cruise starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Emily Blunt in a big-budget adventure based on the classic Disneyland amusement park ride.
“Jungle Cruise isn’t the first Disney film to be based on a theme park ride, and I daresay it won’t be the last.”
INSIDERNOTES
Seeing the throwback characteristics of Jaume Collet-Serra’s Jungle Cruise, folks are quickly applying the “swashbuckler” label, calling upon the good juju of Michael Curtiz, George Lucas, Stephen Sommers, and Gore Verbinski that came before him.
That understandable descriptor fits a bit like a slightly oversized hat. The chapeau in question is…
Whenever I have to refill my car with gas, pick up shampoo and conditioner, or purchase new cleaning supplies, doing so always feels like a chore.
However, there is one weekly errand that I actually look forward to doing, and it is none other than grocery shopping. I still try…
One of my absolute favorite things about owning a group fitness gym is the camaraderie. When you work out together, you get to know each other, and in a way, end up on a fitness journey together.
“Watch carefully, and you can also see the ups and downs someone may be going through.”
INSIDERNOTES
After all, everyone is in there giving 100% to become the best version of themselves. The energy that creates is powerful.
One thing that used to baffle me is watching someone giving major effort and being super consistent in their workout routine, but that physical transformation seemed elusive for them.
There are a million reasons why this could be happening and far be it from me to speculate. Over the years, however, the same recurring theme came up: food choices.
You have to ignore the temptations, or you will continue to sabotage yourself.
1. Plan Ahead: First, plan your entire week to know what you’re going to eat.
2. Shop The Perimeter: This has been a common trick for a while now, but most stores line the outer perimeter with generally healthier food.
3. Keep The Basics: Get a good stock of grocery staples at your house and make sure you never run out.
“If you feel like there is no hope and are convinced the grocery store will always win, I’ve got promising news for you.”
INDIDERNOTES
The stores gave you an out with online ordering! This means you can build an order with only the items on your list, know exactly what your spending, and voilà! Your groceries will be ready for you to pick up curbside.
So see what you gonna do ok, If you walk into the store hungry, you will want all the things. Caution is thrown to the wind, and you’re borderline hangry, so everything sounds fabulous.
Since your bookworm is signaling that you need a meal right now, you’ll be drawn to quick and easy meals which shouldn’t be what’s on your plan.
Now, if even entering the parking lot is too much temptation, some areas will deliver your groceries straight to your door!
That’s right – you place an order online, but instead of a pizza delivery showing up or your Amazon Prime order, it’s healthy and smart food choices all from your list! That’s using technology for good.
I’ll set the scene. Here I am at one of my first post (ish)- covid girls dinner party. I think it was a French theme, put on by my friend Liz. While chatting away, I mention that I work as a finance coach. As per usual, this drums up some conversation and questions.
This evening a new question popped up: ‘But Genevieve, how do I stay prepared. The future gives me anxiety and I find it hard to prepare for things I don’t know are coming.’
“I don’t have a crystal ball and even the expert psychics in New Orleans can’t tell you exactly what financial obstacles and opportunities will be available in the future.”
GENEVIEVE
The question becomes, how do we prepare for the unknown? Will I snag that 7 figure job? Will my parents need my help? Will I finally buy that farm to house all the dogs I want to rescue? Will I be able to take a 6 month tour of the world? So many questions and very few answers.
It’s said that living in the future gives you anxiety and I agree. That’s why my strategy is all around covering the basics and providing flexibility for the future. This is something I recommend to clients too.
Seven Ways to be financially secure;
But before I do that, is there anybody like me? Who would like to throw in some ter**r $hit? Whether as CCs or DCs? Solid question. A whole blog+worthy question. So, here’s the deal.
Share this blogpost with at least 16 people and stand a chance to be stared on “our mentions got viral” this weekend. Offer last on til Sunday, 8, August.
Here are the following steps, below,
1. Have enough cash on hand for emergencies.
2. Focus on your health. If 2020 taught us anything it’s that being healthy = being wealthy.
3. Insure your physical assets. Take it from a lady whose lived in 3 hurricane strike zones- stuff happens when you least expect it.
4. Start with your goals now because- newsflash- you can always tweak them later.
5. Have more than one income stream. If you’ve lost a job you’ll understand. If you haven’t, learn from those who have.
6. Insure your non- physical assets. If you’re investing, how can you create a safety net?
7. Have access to funds. Yes, I mean credit.
Let’s dive into these items and figure out how we can ditch the anxiety around money and start living for today.
From the time you enter high school, college (and a four-year university in particular) is often presented as the end goal.
Once your junior year rolls around teachers, peers, and family members start throwing out a barrage of questions your way: are you looking at colleges yet? which ones have you visited? what’s your personal statement going to be about? what do you want to major in? when do you start applications? what about sororities? how about roommates? My head is spinning thinking about it.
“In 1636, European colonists (as the story usually goes) founded “New College,” now known as Harvard University.”

High school is a microclimate, making for a confusing experience, at the end of which you’re supposed to be “grown.” It acts as a small town, where everyone knows everything, news spreads like wildfire, and everyone is talking behind each other’s backs.
It’s a place where good influences and bad influences collide to form the person you will enter the “real world” as.
Back then, colleges were attended by wealthy Puritans who would inherit family business and go on to be leaders of the new world as proper, well educated Christians. So from the beginning, college was associated with greater success and wealth.
“I’m not here to deny that anyone with a college education will likely earn a significantly higher salary than those who don’t.”

But don’t worry it gets worse.
If you’re like me and genuinely interested in learning more about the world or god forbid making it a better place, be prepared to drown in debt, working a minimum wage job until you die (just kidding…sort of).
After I received my Bachelor’s degree in Sociology from UC Santa Barbara (not because it was “easy” but because I was passionate about the subject), it was not lost on me that my 40 thousand dollar degree would get me nowhere.
I’ve been a victim of racism for most of my life. This has given me the intuition and hindsight to infallibly detect the type of racist one is dealing with.
First, there are the Empathetic racists. They call you up whenever there’s a racist incident reported on in the media. They demonstrate alongside you at Black Lives Matter protests, they talk about how shocked they are at open displays of racism.
“They work to ensure that everyone is treated fairly. They work toward a better world for humanity.”
GETREVUE
The Supremacist racists are those that believe that white people are superior to black and brown people. They categorize all nonwhites as sub-human. In fact, they dehumanize black people to better abuse them.
They feel threatened by what they say is “the big replacement”: a white extremist theory that says that black and brown people are willfully trying to out-populate white people.
“Without the iPhone cameras filming, these people will kill black people whenever they have a chance.”
GETREVUE
So the reality is that racists can belong to one or several of the above categories. Some can be Supremacist racists and Sadist racists at the same time.
Others can be Empathetic racists and Fetishist racists. Cross-pollination occurs across these categories all the time, but whatever the racist, they are harmful and sometimes life-threatening to black and brown people.
Almost after 2 years of original release date, Disney+ is going to bring Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt’s family-friendly movie Jungle Cruise to the theaters this summer.
“Out there is not funny. It’s everything and has nothing to do with you but, you’ve come to seek vapor in the badland.”
As like other movies Mulan, Raya, and The Last Dragon, Black Widow you can easily enjoy this film from home only. This is because Disney+ has officially announced that the movie is going to hit the streaming platform on the same day as theaters.
Ergo, this is the reason why filmmakers have decided to ask for $30 from all the viewers of this film.
DISNEY
You should not expect to stick with the Premier access strategy of Disney in long run. This is because Deadline has reported that Disney+ is thinking to revive the theatrical business.
Meanwhile, the upcoming movie Jungle Cruise will be available for the Disney+ subscribers at regular subscriptions after a certain time period.
DISNEY
Ever wondered what it would be like if you combined Werner Herzog’s ‘Aguirre, the Wrath of God’ (1972) with John Huston’s ‘The African Queen’ (1951) and transformed the result into a two hour long kid’s movie? No, neither have I and I would’ve doubted any rational or sane person would ‘ve either.
SA it seems that the execs at Disney are in no way rational or sane people because that’s exactly what they’ve done with ‘Jungle Cruise’ (2021), which is only appropriate as this movie feels neither written nor directed but constructed solely from studio diktats (‘Jungle Cruise’ is based on a Disney theme park ride ⅞ studio memos go floating by).

So that’s Jungle Cruise’ — a two hour, incomprehensible, unnatural affront on every single level that cost $300 million to make and market.
Nigeria’s number one Starboy, Ayo Balogun, popularly known as Wizkid or Big Wiz has revealed one of the kind of people in his DM, who are sliding in for Tickets to access his forthcoming Made In Lagos Tour.

Her husband, identified as @ajmoney001 on Instagram, took to his page to celebrate their wedding anniversary.
On Instagram, he shared a photo of himself kissing his wife, with the caption, “My wish on our anniversary is that our love will never be seized. It will be wider than the sky, grow higher than Everest, brighter than the Stars, stronger than the Diamond and warmer than the Sun.
“Happy anniversary Ajmoney, Tega loves you.”

Happy anniversary from Biggie’s house
Tega, as a contestant on the ongoing show, also mentioned her marriage anniversary to her fellow housemates.
Teasing Whitemoney, Tega said, “White wants to make me a special delicacy on my anniversary.”
During the fashion show, Angel, who was the host of the event, got tongues wagging with the lacy see-through mini dress she wore without underwear.
Her father, who is also her Instagram handler, as she earlier revealed, praised his daughter for her outfit, saying that Angel’s dress depicted body positivity.
“During the Truth or Dare game, Angel also kissed Boma and Saga passionately while her love interest, Sammie, looked on.”
INSDERNOTES
On Monday, Cross had revealed to the housemates that Angel had walked in on him having his bath and she stripped and had her bath in the same place.
On her first night of the show, she cuddled with Sammie, an act that got people talking and led to a potential ‘ship’ between them.
