Chrisean Rock Gets Hands On With The Macaroni & Cheese, Literally
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Johnny Nunez / Getty Chrisean Rock has the chill of a steaming bowl of soup, and she’s back in the trending topics roundup once again for more of her antics. The on-again, off-again boo of Blueface was seen in a now-viral video of her preparing a pan of macaroni and cheese with her bare hands and Twitter is really going in right now. A Twitter user uploaded a video of Chrisean Rock getting busy in the kitchen on a huge pan of macaroni and cheese and that would normally be the order of the day for what we assume was a Thanksgiving post. However, the former high school and college athlete is almost elbow-deep in the pan of mac and pounding it down like she was handling Kai Cenat’s wall during that Twitch stream. Chrisean Rock caught wind of the ...

#NationalDayOfMourning: The National Day Of Mourning Dispels Myths Of Thanksgiving
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Boston Globe / Getty The National Day of Mourning stands opposite of the tradition of Thanksgiving and the long-running myths that surround the American holiday. The annual event is largely recognized in the greater New England region and held at Cole’s Hill in Plymouth, Mass. The National Day of Mourning began due to happenstance after schoolteacher Wamsutta Frank James, who was also the leader of the Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head, and president of the Federated Eastern Indian League. In 1970, James was invited to deliver a speech for the 350th anniversary of the Mayflower to American shores. Organizers asked to proofread James’ speech, finding that his words were too controversial and axed his appearance. An amended version of James’ speech appears ...
What Is The National Day Of Mourning?
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Boston Globe / Getty People with their eyes open to accurate history have been aware of the Thanksgiving jig for a long minute. Many Indigenous folks curve the false narrative (the Indians and Pilgrims had a happy feast, yeah right) of the holiday and instead have been observing the National Day of Mourning. But what exactly is it? Let’s start with what you probably learned in school was that the Pilgrims and Puritans brought their tradition of Days of Fasting and Days of Thanksgiving to New England in the 1600s, and in 1621 in Plymouth, Massachusetts thanksgiving was established thanks to a good harvest. They allegedly celebrated with the Wampanoags, Native Americans whose land would eventually be pilfered by the colonizers, but more on that later. Thank...

California hospitals overrun even as vaccine is rolled out
Even as high profile figures like U.S. Vice President Mike Pence rolled up their sleeves for COVID-19 vaccinations, patients already ill with the disease crowded emergency rooms and overran intensive care units in California, now a worldwide epicenter. Another 41,000 people tested positive in the most populous U.S. state on Thursday, and 300 died, state public health officials said. In a state with 40 million residents, only about 1,200 intensive care beds remained available by Friday – just 2.1% of the total, the California Department of Public Health said. “We anticipated a surge, but I’m not sure if anyone imagined it would be as bad as it has been,” said Adam Blackstone, a spokesman for the Hospital Association of Southern California. Hospitals are strained under the press of patients,...

US braces for continued surge in coronavirus cases, hospitalisations
As newly reported cases of the coronavirus continued to spike across much of the United States, breaking records for hospitalisations, some local leaders are moving to enact more stringent restrictions. US officials had pleaded with Americans to avoid travel and limit social gatherings as the nation entered its winter holiday season. But many appear to have disregarded those pleas over the long Thanksgiving weekend as the Transportation Security Administration screened nearly 1.2 million airline passengers on Sunday, the highest since mid-March. That number is still about 60 percent lower than the comparable day last year when 2.88 million passengers were screened, the highest ever recorded by the agency. Health officials say they are now preparing for a wave of cases over the next two or ...

Holiday shopping moves online amid surging coronavirus, retailers face shaky prospects
File Photo Long lines and crowds at shopping centers have been as much a Thanksgiving tradition as the turkey dinner, but this year, things could look different. As COVID-19 numbers continue to surge, rushing to brick-and-mortar retail stores might seem not so appealing to many, and the holiday shopping season is moving online. “More and more shopping was already moving online, but COVID-19 concerns are definitely accelerating the shift to online buying,” David Reibstein, a marketing professor from Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, told Xinhua. The trend is evident as shown by recent data. Walmart, the nation’s largest retailer, reported that its third-quarter e-commerce sales surged 79 percent from a year ago. Amazon, the largest e-commerce retailer, reported a 37 percent ...
