Mike Tyson's Legacy

Let me start this off by saying that I am not a boxing fan. I don't watch boxing, nor do I keep up with the latest boxing stats, and I cannot name the last 3 boxing champions, but everyone knows Mike Tyson. I grew up with an older brother that enjoyed watching boxing and I was forced to hear about it. And then my dad bought us boxing gloves and he would either get to be Evander Holyfield, but I always had to be George Forman.

We would box to learn how to defend ourselves and my brother would always emulate these boxers' famous moves including Mike Tyson's uppercut. A move he was allegedly contracted to not perform in this latest boxing match (performance, publicity stunt, money grab) with a youtuber that shall not be named here.

It's been alleged that Mike Tyson was contracted to not knock out his opponent and to not perform key moves in the fight. I must say it was disappointing to hear about his loss. A part of my childhood memories meant a little less--I don't know why or how to explain it.

Honestly the match was not the highlight of this fight in my opinion. Before the match took place, Tyson did an interview with a young reporter who asked about his legacy and his response to her had many on the internet shocked. They commented saying did he forget that he was talking to a young person. His demeanor and response came across as detached and negative. Check out the interview and my response in the video above.

Why You Might Be Paying More Than Your Neighbor for the Same Product

Surveillance Pricing: The Hidden Cost of Your Personal Data Have you ever noticed that prices seem to fluctuate depending on how and where you shop? Maybe you’ve used Instacart or another grocery delivery app and found that the price of your favorite milk online is higher than what you’d pay in-store. At first, these small discrepancies might seem like an unavoidable part of online shopping. But what if I told you that businesses might be charging you more based on who you are? Surveillance pricing is a practice where companies use personal data—such as your age, gender, income level, or even your location—to adjust the prices you see. Essentially, what you pay for everyday items could depend on what retailers assume you can afford. A recent Federal Trade Commission (FTC) study revealed how this type of pricing discrimination is becoming more common, with companies using advanced algorithms to analyze consumer behavior and set prices accordingly. For example, someone shopping in a low...

In the Last Days: The Church vs. The Black Israelites

In the Last Days: The Church vs. The Black Israelites Across social media, a recent viral moment has sparked intense discussion within the faith community. A prayer event led by Pastor Philip Anthony Mitchel was met with protests by a group identifying as the Black Israelites — reigniting long-standing debates about faith, race, and identity in the Black community. The confrontation, caught on video, shows the deep divide growing between traditional Christianity and movements that challenge its authority and cultural roots. The Black Israelites, also known as the Hebrew Israelites, are members of a religious movement that teaches that African Americans are the direct descendants of the ancient Israelites — the chosen people of the Bible. This belief system holds that through the transatlantic slave trade, African Americans were stripped of their true identity, history, and divine purpose. While not all Black Israelite groups are identical in their teachings, most share common beliefs: ...
