Many from all walks of life are coming to join the Black Lives Matter cause and urging for change both locally and nationally. Today Alexis Ohanian Sr., who is the co-founder of the immensely popular forum site , has offered his resignation as a form of solidarity with the movement.
Ohanian, for those unaware, is married to tennis player Serena Williams, and the two have a young daughter together. Ohanian remembers his daughter in a video speaking on his resignation: "Fifteen years ago I co-founded to find community and a sense of belonging, it’s long overdue to do the right thing. I’m saying this as a father who needs to be able to answer his black daughter when she asks: 'What did you do?'"

He continued, "So, I’ve resigned as a member of the board, I have urged them to fill my seat with a black candidate. And I will use future gains on my stock to serve the Black community, chiefly, to curb racial hate. And I'm starting with a pledge of $1 million to Colin Kaepernick's Know Your Rights camp."
He ended: "I believe resignation can actually be an act of leadership from people in power right now. To everyone fighting to fix our broken nation: do not stop."

Reddit CEO Calls TikTok "Fundamentally Parasitic"
While speaking on a panel called Social 2030, CEO Steve Huffman denounced TikTok as nothing more than “fundamentally parasitic” spyware.
The term “parasite” has been in recent times associated with a critically-acclaimed foreign film that made history by winning “Best Picture” at the 2020 Oscars a few weeks ago. Unfortunately, that’s not the case for how the word was used by CEO Steve Huffman recently when he expressed his feelings about the wildly-popular social media app TikTok.

While speaking on a panel called Social 2030 in front of a large group of Silicon Valley investors, Huffman responded to TikTok possibly being a platform that they could learn from by saying, “Maybe I’m going to regret this, but I can’t even get to that level of thinking with them.” He went on to add, “Because I look at that app as so fundamentally parasitic, that it’s always listening, the fingerprinting technology they use is truly terrifying, and I could not bring myself to install an app like that on my phone.” Huffman added an extra two cents to his harsh opinion by saying, “I actively tell people, ‘Don’t install that spyware on your phone.'” A spokesperson for TikTok responded to his accusations, telling TechCruch exclusively, “These are baseless accusations made without a shred of evidence.”
Even though and TikTok are in no way competing, could Steve Huffman be simply hating on the popularity of TikTok or does he have a point worth paying attention to? Sound off with your thoughts down below in the comments after checking out Megan Thee Stallion‘s hilarious #RideOrDieChallenge TikTok compilation video:
Moneybagg Yo Hilariously Shuts Down Question About Megan Thee Stallion Sex
Moneybagg Yo thinks that some things are better left unsaid.
Moneybagg Yo clearly isn’t the type of person to kiss and tell. The Memphis rapper is fresh off the release of his new album Time Served, which features his ex-girlfriend Megan Thee Stallion on the final offering. The two superstars had been flaunting their romantic union across social media for months when suddenly, things just stopped. Bagg was nowhere to be found on the Hot Girl’s page and the same could be said for the big stepper. Currently dating Ari Fletcher, Bagg has remained silent on his break-up with Megan, speaking subtly on it during interviews and not offering much insight on why they grew apart. During an “Ask Me Anything” session on today, the spitter accepted any and all questions… including those about Stalli. He was surely expecting one fearless fan to come through with a raunchy question about their sex life but he understandably shut it down with a hilarious response.

“How that Meg p***y feel?” asked one fan of Moneybagg Yo, earning oodles of upvotes. Shockingly enough, the rapper actually issued a reply to the comment, choosing not to reveal any details of their bedroom romps. “Some things a person shouldn’t speak on,” responded Bagg on his verified account.
Elsewhere in the chat, Yo revealed that his favorite songs off the album are “Federal Fed” and “Pistol By Da Bed” before also speaking on his friendship with Blac Youngsta, his upcoming work with Roddy Ricch, and his musical inspirations (Pac and Big.)
