I am very concerned regarding Elon Musk wanting to buy Twitter. If he is successful with buying the platform, then there will be a lot of toxic behavior on Twitter from Trump supporters, who will plan yet another coup to bring back Trump and Trump-like candidates for the Midterms 2022 and Presidential Elections 2024. Don’t let that happen. Don’t let Elon Musk buy Twitter. In a matter of short weeks, he has turned from “Iron Man” to “Dr. Doom.”

I am reaching out to Satya Nadella at Microsoft and Developers at Ubuntu and other Linux platforms to build the next Twitter, on stand-by. Mark Zuckerberg ruined Facebook. Let’s not let Elon Musk ruin Twitter.

Today I voted in the French Presidential Elections for Macron. It was my civic duty, and extremely important. We cannot let France fall to Marine LePen, whose campaign was funded by Putin. In order to save France, to save Europe, votez Macron.

I also stopped by the infamous Starbucks at Delta Shores & Highway Five. This is the motherfucking Starbucks which was closed during the Superbowl. I was unable to get my coffee for good luck, and my beloved Bengals lost the Superbowl (there’s also the shitty issue about corrupt referees, but they’ll get their karma eventually). I was furious. Few months later, there are now about 29 Starbucks unionized. There are over 9,000 Starbucks nationwide. Your job is now to unionize every fucking Starbucks around the country, and that they are OPEN next Superbowl. For more info, follow SBWorkersUnited and listen to the inspiring words from Bernie Sanders. Thanks in advance.

What’s up, everybody! Utilizing the brand-new firmware patch for PS5 controller on PC, Battlefield 2042 on Steam with the 4.0 patch works great. It has over 400 fixes. I am so excited. People said this game was a lost cause, but trust me, it’s going to regain its popularity, especially when Electronic Arts releases more content.

I know that everybody is experiencing COVID fatigue, but stay strong. These Republicans will pay the price in court for messing up our great country. The fact that Biden is POTUS, that Democrats control the House and the Senate, and we can’t pass a damn legislation because of Senator Manchin and Senator Sinema is fucking despicable.. I’m sick and fucking tired of them milking the past 2 years. It’s a pandemic, people are suffering, meanwhile, they’re recording record profits, and Billionaires are making more billions of dollars. Meanwhile, African-Americans and other minorities can’t afford gasoline. I really like the cinematography of “FBI”, “FBI: Most Wanted” and “FBI: International” but, I want the real big FBI, the Mueller FBI, to take down this fucking mob-like thugs of Jan 6 Insurrectionists and let us get back to normal. That’s why everybody around the country is working hard for unionizing. Whether at Starbucks Union effort or Amazon Union effort, and even elsewhere. People are “fed up.” Therefore the Feds, need to help the people. I swear to God, if Marjorie Taylor Greene does not go down for her illicit behavior, QAnon non-sense, and you still put Black people in jail for weed? Then the American people will completely lose hope in our great nation of America. This is the United States. You’ve read your U.S. Constitution. Stop treating America like a fucking TV show. Trump is gone. We don’t want him back. We want Biden to act like POTUS and continue to pass policies for EVERYTHING not just his schedule, but #FreeTuition, #FightFor15, #WomenRights, #IncomeInequality, etc etc. Don’t tell us you can find $1 billion dollars for Ukraine in 2 days, but you can’t be bothered to make college tuition-free for Students. I want them to dream for their future, and it’s very hard when there is so much corruption. Thanks for listening.

I think it’s really important to listen to what the WHO chief has said: “The World treats crises affecting black, white lives unequally.” While the Ukraine crisis is important, it’s a “fraction” of the attention given elsewhere.

We need not to forget about the on-going crisis in Afghanistan, Yemen, Syria, and Palestine. Not to mention many parts of Africa.

Until Next Time!

If you like my blog and podcasts, please log into Twitter on mobile (iOS and Android) and go to IAMZAKI. There’s a little $ icon where you can send me funds. Please remember that every little bit helps. You may think that sending just $1 or $5 does not matter much, but if a few hundreds of people do it, it would be a gigantic help. I need funds to do some repairs and also save for a Mac Studio (so I can use the Logic Pro DAW). Thanks in advance.

Until Next Time!
