ENTER BORING EDUCATOR:
The history of the abolitionist activist Cassius Clay and his slave abusing (i refuse to use the word "owner" as it demeaning to human beings. No one can own another human. A human can force and control and abuse another human being, but never own them no matter what society says!) is quite interesting, btw.
The slave abusing father may have violated a slave woman and been Ali,'s ancestor- though not all historians agree- and thats how they got the slave last name that Ali later rejected. Ali's father DID call his son Cassius after the abolutionist, though, whether they were his ancestors or not.
Its a pity, though, that Ali didnt understand Stowes book "Uncle Tom's Cabin" well enough to understand Uncle Tom isnt a weak black man who was the house slave helping the white owner by hurting fellow slaves.
Uncle Tom was exactly the opposite! It grieves me when i hear "Uncle Tom" used as a perjorative when this wonderful (yes, fictional but still) gave up his life for fellow slaves rather than help the slave owner.
PEOPLE, READ A BOOK!! Don't just assume Uncle Tom is about a slave thats a cowardly traitor!

Did you read about the AI impersonation of George Carlin, Trash Panda? The AI does a few minutes of jokes, including saying he's glad he's dead so he didnt have to deal with Trump.
Carlins daughter said not cool. Well, i tried listening to it and if i hadnt know what it was i wouldnt have know it was Carlin!! TERRIBLE impersonation!
I came across a video about his daughter but I didn't watch it. I'll definitely check it out though. This is one of many reasons why I dont like AI.

Thanks for the laughs, TrashPanda (and the warning labels)! For some reason, i havent been getting notifications for quite some time, now. Mebbe like almost 2 months, perhaps a bit less? I get SOME, just not consistantly and some things not at all.

I love BeardMeatsFood. I just watched his newest video this afternoon where he had to sign a waver. They provide you with a bucket to puke in but one of the stipulations is if you puke you have to clean up anything that doesn't get in the bucket. Sounds like a reasonable request to me.
Thank you, TrashPanda- Ali was a natioinal treasure and so few realize it today
"I wish people would love everybody else the way they love me. It would be a better world."
"It isn't the mountains ahead that wear you down. It's the pebble in your shoe."
"Don't count the days. Make the days count."
“If you even dream of beating me you'd better wake up and apologize.” << my personal fav
“How tall are you? So I can know in advance how far to step back when you fall down!”
"I should be a postage stamp. That's the only way I'll ever get licked."
And, of course, who can ever forget these iconic words of Muhammad Ali
"I float like a butterfly. Sting like a bee. You can't hit what your eyes don't see.
I’ve wrestled with alligators. I’ve tussled with a whale. I done handcuffed lightning. And throw thunder in jail.”
