💥💥 — WORD!!

By: Colin Tiyani Anderson, Artist/Digital Fabricator, from LinkedIn …

“The evil of Zionism isn't restricted to its murderous exploits in Palestine. The evil of Zionism travels all over the globe. And wherever it goes, the evil of Zionism has one job and one job only: to corrupt otherwise decent people into supporting Israel's ethnic cleansing.

From Washington D.C. to London and the capitals of Europe, our politicians fall like dominoes to the bribes and threats of the virulent Israeli "lobby."

To stand up against this foreign invasion takes real character and ethics. And it takes a strong backbone that, clearly, President Biden lacks. It takes a spine because, once you make that ethical stand for democracy, for country, for constituents, and against corruption, you incur the frenzied wrath of the Zionist hordes.

Such is the case with New York congressman, Jamaal Bowman. By refusing to back Israel's genocide in Gaza, he has been targeted by AIPAC who are throwing up to $25 million at his Zionist primary opponent, George Latimer. The Primary is being held on the 25th of June.

The West has already been taken over by the Zionists. It's too late to stop the invasion. All we can do is fight for the few ethnical politicians that we have left. The Jeremy Corbyns, the Bernie Sanders, the AOCs and the Jamaal Bowmans are worth fighting for. After all, ANYTHING is better than the murderous hatred of Zionism.” … 💥

Dr. Facilier would’ve been a great addition to the Rise of Red! Voodoo and Time travel go well together but if he’s not in the movie, I do have my own take of him being at Merlin Academy

Now our boy is poor, he’d still show up to school looking good, wearing suits he patched together and his top hat. Also, his name is Jamal Facilier.

At school, he was very aware that she wasn't like many of how peers: she wasn't rich or royal, but the only person who would mock him is teen Beast. He’d be that one cool kid at school. TBD good kids would like him, Uliana would try to bring him in her crew, but he’d refuse. Mischievous with a heart and gold, he’d always stay in the middle.

The one kid everyone's cool with, Jamal is a shady and charming boy with a deck of tarot cards and his own shadow. He's not part of Uliana's villain crew but he's not part of the good kid clique either, especially since he loves pickpocketing the rich and pampered. Jamal was very aware that he isn't like many of his peers: he wasn't rich or royal, and he comes to school wearing patched-up and ripped. But what he lacks In wealth, he makes up for in skills.

Not to mention, he’s an excellent cards man and fortune teller. He likes to tell people their fortunes at school for a price. His shadow lives to steal from people and sometimes he’d have to calm him down.

Now I personally never believed Facilier was evil and him in D3 just justifies my answer so here, he’d just be a mischievous good kid with a dark side.

I imagine he’d have a special relationship with most kids. He’d be great friends with Bridget and he’d never pickpocket her, he and Ella would have a love-hate relationship and they both are broke but Ella doesn’t trust him, he’d pickpocket charming, he’d constantly try to get Aladdin to get in on his mischief, and while he never joined Uliana’s gang, he’d turn to them when he needs help for his dark deeds

Contemplating the Naval

AN OFFICER AND A GENTLEMAN Alexandra Theatre,  Birmingham, Monday 26thFebruary 2024 Due to a lack of creativity among musical theatre producers, they think all they have to do is pick an old film that everybody likes, bung some pop songs in it and hey presto!  Box office gold.

guess whos developing a 2nd story based on a dream?

i dreamed last night abt two boys finding Unlikely love in an alternate reality 21st century earth. one is a prince in a mansion & the other is a street kid whose group of friends & him are fighting both other street gangs & also the oppressive governmernt & also just. poverty

i dont remember the designs of anyone except the main 2 and thats ok bc thats all i care about. Street Kid abducts the prince (probably for ransom?) and the prince, having never left his house and never seen the world or this level of excitement before, falls madly desperately in love with Street Kid. street kid is absolutely not into it at all tho bc that's literally his Oppressor, but he slowly grows fond of him too as he watches this sheltered aristocrat slowly come out of his shell and find the beauty and wonder of the world.

part 2 is they have a high-thrill car chase as one of the rival gangs is attempting to also kidnap the prince, and eventually SK and P sneak back into the mansion but the treebranch they used snaps so theyre stuck inside together for a bit. P shows SK some luxuries of high living which he reluctantly lets himself enjoy, they bond over a cup of lavender tea, and SK proceeds to fuck P's brains out.

i'm writing this out so i don't lose any of it and i'm absolutely going to draw them later.

also both of them are black.

i decide to draw them before posting them. these guys have been in my head literally all day

The 6 Most Important Storylines Of The 2023 NBA Playoffs

The 2023 NBA playoffs begin on April 11th with the first of the NBA play-in tournament games and the 1st round officially beginning on April 15th. 

While the NBA post season will offer up no shortage of storylines, narratives, triumphs and defeats, I have managed to narrow down this year’s playoff teams that will surely contribute more to the post season headlines than the rest.

1. Uncooked Nuggets

This team has had the NBA world waiting for them to fulfill their potential for a long time.

They’ve had injuries, they’ve gone through trades, they’ve guided Nikola Jokic to a potential 3rd NBA MVP trophy, and yet still something is amiss with a team that will rightly go into the playoffs as the most underrated 1-seed in years.

There’s a few reasons for that but one more than all the others.

The first is that, the Nuggets are not great on the road. The second is that the league has finally caught up to Nikola Jokic and teams that have big men that are talented enough will attack him on defense (as shown by both Joel Embiid and Deandre Ayton), and when the Nuggets are in possession, they opt to dare Aaron Gordon and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope to make 3′s, while trying to anticipate Jokic’s pass attempts to cutters and shooters. 

The more troublesome part is thier head coach, and I have to tell you, his act is getting tired, because Mike Malone has one of the most talented rosters in the league and the Nuggets seem to hit the same kind of mental block every year, and his fall back is to go to the media and call his players “soft”.

It’s old, it’s tired, it’s redundant, and it’s not helping the Nuggets uber-talented group of players in the least, but this year Malone is all out of excuses.

Everyone is healthy, Jokic is still an MVP candidate, the bench rotation now features Reggie Jackson, Jeff Green and Bruce Brown, which is better bench support than they’ve had in some time. 

While I believe that Michael Porter Jr and Jamal Murray are the biggest x-factors in how far Denver will go, as far as the players are concerned, it’s down to Mike Malone not to mess it up from the sideline and in post game press confrences, where his old school approach to coaching can be a little bit too over-the-top.

That also means avoiding the unnecessary pointguard-less lineups.

2. Believeland 2?

When Donovan Mitchell’s trade from the Utah Jazz was announced, the Cleveland Cavaliers took a big jump up in almost every preseason projection, and while they’ve very much validated that hype, it’s in the post season that a lot of thier players will be looking to cememnt new reputions for themselves.

The Cavs are probably the deepest team in the league and I don’t think it’s close.

Aside from the scoring powers of Darius Garland and Donovan Mitchell, they boast the best defensive front court pairing in the league with Evan Mobley and Jared Allen. Add to that Caris Levert may be the most underrated sixth-man in the league.

I still have questions about what happens when defenses dare Lamar Stevens and Isaac Okoro to make 3′s, they’re both in that 32-36% range for 3-point percentage, but the Cavs are still a scary prospect, especially if they can make it to the 2nd round.

3. Kevin Durant: The Prodigal Sun

I can’t think of an NBA player that has had worse luck over the last 2 years than Kevin Durant.

For all intents and purposes, the Suns front office have always made it clear that there was interest in bringing Durant to Phoenix.

The Suns need the pairing of Devin Booker and Kevin Durant on the court at the same time, and without that their chances of making another NBA Final are not good.

The obvious variable is that Durant may be limited, but even in the event that he’s not 100%, I think Durant can play 20 minutes a game as more of a spot-up shooter, to space the floor. That’s pure conjecture on my part, given what happened in 2019, but Durant has had a few more weeks to heal up, and then it becomes about those other guys, in particular Deandre Ayton, stepping up thier game.

I mention Ayton because he’s been outed by head coach, Monty Williams as being a guy that always needs a pep-talk during every game, and while motivated yet limited players can help win playoff games, players with a low motor can only lose games. 

The Suns have gotten very favorable treatment from most of the NBA fan bases as being a potential title contender, but to be fair, there are more variables than answers, and even a healthy Kevin Durant is walking in to an unfamiliar team setting, so I rate there should be some holding back on the hype with this Suns team.

4. Darkhorse Warriors

Did you know that the Warriors have not won 10 road games this year, as of March 28th?

Still, if you ignore the Western conference standings, and are a believer in the concept of “championship pedigree”, then you still likely have the Warriors as the Western Conference’s team to beat once the playoffs actualy begin.

They really miss Andrew Wiggins and thier ability to get stops takes a step back when they don’t have him.

The Warriors still have the Draymond-monster hanging around and over them, but should this team manage to avoid the play-in tournament, they will play a team with better conference seeding, home advantage and little or no, playoff history.

That alone makes them dangerous, the experience edge and the fact that they will go in to every series as favorites, pretty much, no matter who they play.

I am going to sit back and hope that Draymond and Jordan Poole’s chemistry, or lack thereof, becomes an issue, as opposed to what I think will happen, which is Steph Curry raining 3′s to keep them in games they shouldn’t be in.

The Warriors have not been the same this year, but I don’t think,anyone can write them off, especially since Klay Thompson looks like he’s back to himself. 

They are a historically great home team, where they’ve won more than 80% of their regular season games, but on the road, they may be one of the worst travelling teams in NBA history, and they will not have home court to start any series.

Still, if you believe Gilbert Arenas, then travelling to Sacremento won’t feel like a road game at all for the Warriors.

5. Time For Celtics Stars To Grow Up

It’s time for Boston’s two top players to grow up. Individually they have, but that’s been the problem with Boston’s top stars.

They don’t play together if one of them is in a rhythm or has the hot-hand, and the clip I’ve posted above is from last season, but a lot of the same habits still plague the two Celtics star players.

If one of them gets into a scoring rhythm, they will go into ISO mode.

Consider this, Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum hardly ever run a 2-man-game, or run a play between the two of them designed to get one of them a good look. There is way too much willingness to go to the ISO and believe they can win the game by themselves. Against lesser opposition and when you have favorable 1-on-1 matchups, that can work, but not in this year’s playoffs.

There needs to be a notable change in how these guys approach 2nd halves, and how they go about getting the best out of each other, as well as learning that the measure of thier talent is not 1-on-1 scoring.

With the Celtics, it’s not about coaching, it’s not about depth, it’s not about 3-point shooting, it’s about how good can their star players can be, and whether they can outgrow being ISO guys, and embrace more Brown-Tatum pick’n’rolls and that’s a mental shift more than anything else.

Jaylen Brown has made headlines recently and it’s starting to look like he is unhappy in Boston, both on and off the court, and it really couldn’t be a worse time to throw him in to a playoff situation, because the idea that he doesn’t like beind 2nd banana is starting to gain traction throughout the NBA.

Get it together, Boston.

6. Milwaukee

The Bucks have been the unoffical must-see team in all of basketball this year and that 16 game winning streak exeplifies a team that has set the standard in the NBA this year.

Now the mainstream media have somehow managed to collude with the aim of shielding the national public from how good the Bucks have been this year, but I advise you not to sleep.

After starting the season with injuries and having to await the the return of Khris Middleton, the Bucks have found thier groove and then some. They doubled down by signing Joe Ingles, and then tripled down by signing Jae Crowder.

Most metrics and top NBA defense rankings will have the Bucks in the top 5, but I would say that that is underselling thier defense, because while we know about Giannis and Jrue’s defensive prowess, Brook Lopez has somehow involved himself in the defensive player of the year conversation by blocking shots.

Add to that they have a myriad of defensive stoppers and 3-and-D players, so while there are teams with more depth, and teams with more talented all-star level players, as far as scoring is concerned, and even teams whose head coaches are more respected, but trust when I say, no one other than Boston, wants to see the Bucks this year.
