🕊️ Rest in Power, Hulk Hogan (1953–2025)

Full Name: Terry Gene Bollea
Born: August 11, 1953 – Augusta, Georgia, USA
Died: July 24, 2025 – Clearwater, Florida, USA
Age: 71 years

Few names resonate through the arena of popular culture like Hulk Hogan. To millions, he wasn’t just a wrestler — he was an icon, a symbol of power, charisma, and the wild energy of 1980s and '90s wrestling.

From the yellow bandana and 24-inch pythons, to the thunderous roar of “HULKAMANIA” running wild, Hulk Hogan defined an era.
He made WWE (then WWF) a global household name, headlined multiple WrestleManias, and became one of the first wrestlers to break into mainstream pop culture with movies, cartoons, and commercials.

🏆 Achievements & Legacy

6× WWF/WWE Champion

6× WCW World Champion

2× WWE Hall of Fame Inductee (Solo + with nWo)

Star of shows like Hogan Knows Best

One of the driving forces behind the rise of sports entertainment globally

A crossover celebrity who helped open doors for wrestlers in film and television

💔 Struggles & Controversies

Hogan’s life was also marked by deep personal struggles:

His privacy was violated in one of the most public celebrity lawsuits in history.

He was caught on tape using racist language — a moment that shattered the trust of many, especially Black fans and colleagues.

WWE terminated ties with him, and he was removed from the Hall of Fame for a time.

But here's the truth: Hulk Hogan did apologize. Repeatedly. Publicly. Tearfully. He admitted it was wrong, expressed regret, and asked for forgiveness.

✊🏾 To the Black Community: A Call to Reflect and Forgive

Hogan’s words hurt. They tapped into centuries of trauma, disrespect, and pain. But as African people, and as humans guided by the power of mercy and healing — we are not called to be forever angry.

Hogan didn’t double down. He didn’t play the victim. He apologized and took responsibility.

If we ask the world to forgive us when we falter, if we believe in growth, rehabilitation, and ubuntu — then we must also practice it.

🖤 We gain nothing by staying locked in a prison of bitterness.
🕊️ We gain everything by showing that we are bigger than hate.
🤝🏽 Let’s remember Hogan as a flawed man who changed, not a villain frozen in time.

Rest easy, Hulk Hogan. Your legacy is complicated — but it is real, it is powerful, and it is unforgettable.
To err is human. To forgive is divine.

🛑 Against the New Luddites

The original Luddites smashed machines in 19th-century England because they feared the future. They saw innovation not as progress, but as a threat. Sound familiar?

From factory looms, to automobiles, to the telephone, to the internet, to computers, and now AI—at every turn in history, there have always been people screaming, “This will destroy us!”

Today, I see a new breed of Luddites. Some are masquerading as Africanists, urging us to reject technology in the name of tradition. They confuse preserving culture with freezing progress. They fear that embracing new tools will erase who we are.

But the truth is this: Technology is not the enemy of culture. Stagnation is.

We cannot fight for African relevance by rejecting the very tools that shape the future. If we don’t build with AI, someone else will. If we don’t shape the digital world with our languages, our ideas, our stories—then we will be shaped out of it.

🗣 Don’t be a Luddite of today. Be a builder. Be a coder. Be a creator. Be an innovator.
Tradition is not destroyed by technology. It is destroyed by our refusal to evolve it.

Let’s decolonize the future—not by running from it, but by shaping it.

I punched into AI Chatgpt these commands:

"Generate image of yourself, what you would look like if you were a human being."

The AI replied immediately:

"I can't generate an image of myself as a human because I don’t have a physical form or appearance. But if you're curious, I could generate a fictional human avatar that represents me — maybe something friendly, calm, and wise-looking, like a helpful librarian, a scientist, or a warm teacher.

Would you prefer a particular gender, style, race, or setting (like futuristic, ancient, casual, professional)? That way, I can tailor the human version of “ChatGPT” to your taste."

Then I said these

" OK. generate a fictional human avatar that represents you. Choose gender, style, race, and setting by yourself."

This is what it generated:

Now what can you say about this? 😂

She Donated Her Kidney to Save Her Boss—Then Got Fired. But Is That the Whole Story?

Debbie Stevens, 47, from Long Island, once made headlines for what many called a selfless act of compassion. She volunteered to donate her kidney so that her boss could receive a transplant through a donor chain — a rare and noble gesture that gave someone else a second chance at life.

But when Debbie returned to work after the surgery, gratitude was not part of the reception.

According to her, the nightmare began almost immediately. She suffered post-surgery complications and requested minor workplace accommodations: lighter duties and easier restroom access. Rather than being supported, she says she was punished. Her boss allegedly demoted her, transferred her to a distant branch, and ultimately terminated her — citing “poor performance.”

Feeling betrayed and mistreated, Debbie filed a complaint for disability discrimination. The case was eventually settled in 2014, but with the terms kept confidential and no official admission of wrongdoing, many are left wondering: what really happened?

Her story ignited a national debate about how employers treat employees recovering from medical procedures — especially those who make extraordinary sacrifices. But deeper questions have lingered ever since:

Can someone really be this cruel to the person who saved their life?

Was there more to their relationship than the public was told?

Could this have been personal — or even premeditated?

Debbie’s experience raises uncomfortable truths about workplace ethics, power dynamics, and how quickly good deeds can be punished.

Would you risk your organ to save your boss — knowing it might cost you your job?
