As the globe continues to fight and persevere beyond the COVID-19 crises, so shall the Afronerd Radio "Steam Engine." In times like these, we are oftentimes reminded of the classic Police jam, "When the World is Running Down, You Make the Best of What's Still Around." So in keeping in line with the great Gordon Sumner's lyrics...check out the latest episode of Afronerd Radio's Grindhouse show, airing every Sunday at 6 p.m. eastern on BTalk 100. Your favorite Nanda Parbat trained AFROnerdist hosts will be shedding light on the following topics: word has it that RiRi Williams aka Ironheart may be ready for her closeup via the forthcoming Black Panther sequel, Wakanda Forever. If this is the case, will T'Challa's canon (and the black patriarchal themes) get lost with the addition of more female characters?; and yet another icon leaves the building.....The Street Fighter, himself, martial arts actor, Sonny Chiba succumbs to COVID at 82;
Texas Lt. Governor, Dan Patrick had some pretty crass and inaccurate remarks concerning the African-American community and the rise of COVID cases in his state; we never did discuss just how many Black vampires there have been in cinema and why not more? Was the first American vampire of African descent? ; James Bond is not heading to TV or streaming after all; DC's Black Canary (as portrayed by actress, Jurnee Smollet) is purportedly getting an HBO Max series; Lastly, we may be entering the era of Skynet folks! First, Tesla/SpaceX business magnate and entrepreneur, Elon Musk recently unveiled his humanoid robot (Tesla Bit) and then the Walt Disney Co., also announced that it will be exploring sentient "Westworld-like" robots for its theme parks.
One thing that Dburt is doing (finally) is investing in cryptocurrency, courtesy of Roundlyx. We would implore our followers to investigate, discern and then explore by using our referral code: afro-87A4BF

Why isn’t Radiant Black more of a conversation starter? It’s entertaining, it’s (getting) diverse in its cast of characters, and Kyle Higgins is writing. If that’s not enough incentive on its own to pick this book up, I just don’t know what is.
Radiant Black #7 is a return to the ever building momentum as the newly assembled Team Radiant figures out their mysterious powers while the unknown villain mercilessly hunts them for reasons unknown. Higgins’ script is really something special. It’s not just the dialogue or the action beats alone. He knows how to blend fun, hard hitting superhero action with quirky, FX primetime sitcom sensibilities to create an entirely different thing than either of those things has to offer by themselves.
Radiant Black #7 really keeps the action moving quickly while never losing track of who our heroes are. Our heroes aren’t particularly fond of each other (two in particular) and don’t show any signs of wishing to rectify that anytime soon. However, even with conflicting goals and personalities, they’re still working together on an instinctive level in the interest of survival. And the script goes out of its way to establish that Marshall is not even remotely the protagonist that his friend was. Nathan was always apprehensive and timid about looking towards danger. Marshall shoots from the hip and seems to almost purposely leap before he looks.
Meanwhile, the simplicity of Darko Lafuente’s artwork really brings out the everyman quality of Higgins’ script. These characters never quite look like superheroes as much as everyday people dressed like superheroes. It’s like characters from The Office walked into a science fiction movie.
Bottom Line: Radiant Black is a brilliant story for longtime comic fans and new readers alike. It’s exciting, relatable, and hilarious all at once. Absolutely worth the coin.

Lookout only OnlyFans! It looks like a new sex-positive social media site is coming to town. Tyga took to Instagram on August 20 to announce that he would be unveiling his new Myystarr website that’s set to compete against the London-based company. The bold move comes just days after OnlyFans revealed that they would be banning sex workers and explicit content from their platform.
“Just deleted my OnlyFans, starting my own platform @myystar8 more futuristic, better quality & only 10% fee,” the “Rack City” rapper wrote. “Creators will also be able to make content of their choice!”
Tyga’s new and improved subscription-based website, that’s set to debut in October, is open to everyone from sex workers and celebs to podcasters and artists.
“I know how many people make a lot of money on OnlyFans, and that’s where most of their revenue is at,” Tyga told Forbes. “I want to give those people hope.”
In addition, Myystar content creators will be able to sell NFTs on the Ethereum blockchain, a press release for the new company read. The new partnership will see Tyga team up with famed creative director Ryder Ripps who has lent his branding skills to artists like Azealia Banks, Travis Scott, and Kanye West.
The 31-year-old artist joined OnlyFans back in September and made a killing off the website charging fans a $20 monthly subscription fee. While he didn’t disclose how much he has actually made from the risque site, according to Influencer Marketing Hub, the star was reportedly the fourth top earner on the platform, allegedly raking in almost $8 million. His earnings slightly trail behind his ex-girlfriend Blac Chyna, singer-actress Bella Thorne, and Cardi B, who joined the platform back in August of last year.
3-months after launching his profile, the star created his own OnlyFans talent management company TooRaww which now boasts “more than two dozen clients,” Forbes notes. As of now, Tyga will be giving Myystar talent access to the website on an invite-only basis, according to his Instagram post.
What do you think of Tyga’s latest venture?
