Bill Moczulewski is a 57-year-old hardworking janitor at Walmart in Cabot, Arkansas. He works the night shifts from Tuesday through Friday, 10 pm to 7 am. Bill lives 5 miles from his job, and he has to walk there and back every day, no matter the weather conditions.

The entire walk, round trip, takes about 2 hours a day.

According to GoFundMe, Bill used to ride his bike to work but was struck by a car one day, but he wouldn’t let that stop him from returning to his job. He’s such a hard worker that he still made it to work using a walker. A few years later, Bill was struck by a car again.

A long walk like that could be troublesome for most people, but Bill is legally blind, which makes the trek even more dangerous. “I don’t call out,” Bill told CBS News. “I want to work.”

A couple of years ago, Christy Conrad saw Bill on his daily walk and offered him a ride. The two struck up a friendship and she vowed to give him a ride whenever she could. “He’s going to go to work no matter what,” Christy said. “I picked him up in nine degrees the other morning.”

Unfortunately, Christy couldn’t always be there for Bill, so she created a Facebook group called Mr. BIll’s Village to build a team to help Bill get to work and back. Now, group members drive around looking for Bill and give him a ride if they can. It’s like Cabot has its own game of “Where’s Waldo” going on in the streets. Village members watch for Bill, pull over and give him a ride if he needs one.

The group is a way for members to come together to ensure that Bill can get around and members also pick him up meals from time to time, too.

Today, the group has nearly 4,000 followers and Bill just about always has a ride to work. “It’s never the same person from one day to the next. There’s a lot of good people in this world, all over the place, you know,” Bill said.

To help with Bill’s commute, Chris Puckett, a local auto dealer, offered to give Bill a car. But given his vision problems, a car wouldn’t do him much good. So he gave the gift to Christy.

The group has also established a GoFundMe campaign to help Bill with his expenses. Christy has been using the money to get him a bite to eat from time to time. They recently enjoyed some Domino’s pizza Bill hadn’t had in quite a while.

The story of Bill Moczulewski and the village that supports him is a wonderful example for all to share. If you work hard, you can inspire others to work hard for you. “It’s never the same person from one day to the next. There’s a lot of good people in this world, all over the place, you know,” Moczulewski said.

Neil Young‘s music is officially coming back to Spotify. The singer-songwriter revealed today (March 12) via his newsletter Neil Young Archives that he made the executive decision to put his music back on the platform after it was no longer the exclusive home for The Joe Rogan Experience podcast.

Though Young didn’t call out Rogan or the podcast in the letter, he previously had removed his entire catalog from Spotify due to Rogan spreading misinformation surrounding COVID-19 and preventative vaccines and measures.

The Joe Rogan Experience is also now available on Apple and Amazon streaming platforms.

“My decision comes as music services Apple and Amazon have started serving the same disinformation podcast features I had opposed at SPOTIFY,” Young said. “I cannot just leave Apple and Amazon, like I did Spotify, because my music would have very little streaming outlet to music lovers at all, so I have returned to Spotify, in sincere hopes that Spotify sound quality will improve and people will be able to hear and feel all the music as we made it.”

You can read Young’s full statement below.

Spotify, the #1 streamer of low res music in the world – Spotify where you get less quality than we made, will now be home of my music again.

My decision comes as music services Apple and Amazon have started serving the same disinformation podcast features I had opposed at SPOTIFY. I cannot just leave Apple and Amazon, like I did Spotify, because my music would have very little streaming outlet to music lovers at all, so I have returned to Spotify, in sincere hopes that Spotify sound quality will improve and people will be able to hear and feel all the music as we made it. Qobuz and Tidal, where my music is presented, are all High res as well.

I hope all you millions of Spotify users enjoy my songs! They will now all be there for you except for the full sound we created. Hopefully Spotify will turn to Hi Res as the answer and serve all the music to everyone.

Spotify, you can do it! Really be #1 in all ways. You have the music and the listeners!!!! Start with a limited Hi res tier and build from there!

Thanks for your support folks!

Nearly a year after dropping his fourth studio album, Timeless., Davido is still riding the high. After all, the music has proven to align with the album’s title — timeless. Today (March 12), the Nigerian superstar shared the video for “Away,” a fan-favorite song from Timeless

In the video for “Away,” Davido reaps the fruits of his later. As one of the biggest names in Afrofusion, he has certainly earned the right to party. Throughout the clip, Davido flies across the world in private jets and parties at some of the most lavish clubs.

Afrofusion and Afrobeats music has seen a boom across the world, with several artists within the realm dominating streaming charts. In an interview with Ebony, Davido credited the spread of Afrofusion to social media. And through it all, he has his team and his day ones by his side.

“We have social media now and it’s easier to find stuff,” said Davido. “It’s easier to connect the two cultures. The two cultures are the Western culture and African culture. So I feel like Afrobeat is that bridge right now that’s really bridging the gap between the two cultures and bringing both cultures together.”

The 2024 NFL free agency class looked to be loaded at the top with defensive line talent, both on the inside and on the edge, but unsurprisingly as the deadline to keep players from hitting the open market approached, teams got to work locking up some of the top stars on the defensive front.

Chris Jones and Justin Madubuike landed lucrative long-term deals to stay in Kansas City and Baltimore respectively, while Josh Allen and Brian Burns each got the franchise tag from the Jaguars and Panthers. That meant the top available EDGE rusher was unquestionably Danielle Hunter, as the Vikings star pass rusher was coming off of a season in which he racked up 16.5 sacks along with four forced fumbles and 83 combined tackles.

Hunter has reached double figures in sacks in each of his last four healthy seasons (he missed 9 games in 2021), proving himself as a consistent threat to put heat on opposing quarterbacks. That is something every team is looking for, and he figured to find a fairly robust market for his services once free agency opened.

The team that moved in to land Hunter was the Houston Texans, who gave him a two-year, almost fully guaranteed $49 million deal to form a formidable pass rush duo with the reigning Defensive Rookie of the Year, Will Anderson.

It is effectively a defensive end swap, as the Vikings signed Jonathan Greenard to a long-term deal to replace Hunter, and the Texans responded in kind by going out and signing Hunter. Anderson and Hunter figure to give opposing tackles nightmares, and it’s little surprise Houston would look to the defensive side of the ball for a splash signing to further bolster DeMeco Ryans’ group.

Abbott Elementary is having quite a star-studded third season. In the first six episodes alone, the Award-winning sitcom has had guest spots from Josh Segarra, Casey Frey, Sabrina Brier, Jalen Hurts, Jason Kelce, and most recently Bradley Cooper. It seems like everybody who’s anybody is vying for a spot on Abbott — including one St. Louis rapper.

Today (March 13), “Skee-Yee” hitmaker Sexyy Red expressed interest in appearing on the show.

“How I get on Abbott elementary?,” said the rapper in a post on X (formerly Twitter).

Though she didn’t expand upon this, nor has the show’s creator Quinta Brunson responded, it wouldn’t be the first time a rapper has guest starred on Abbott Elementary. Last season, Vince Staples had a multi-episode arc.

Plus, this is all part of Sexyy’s plan to become a household name, as she previously revealed in an interview with Billboard.

I’m going to just be getting richer, bigger, more trendier. I’m going to be everywhere,” she says. “I’m going to be in it for the long haul, [but] not even on purpose, though. Even if I try to stop rapping, they’re going to take some sh*t, turn it into something, put me on the blogs, make it something it doesn’t even have to be, so Imma be here for a minute.”

Donald Trump has always played the part of the smart businessman, but what if — and hear us out — he’s not? What if it’s all an act and he’s not all that great with money or with creating products that people want? His record of failed products would certainly suggest the latter. Truth Social, the former president’s rinky-dink Twitter clone, has stuck around for about 2 ½ years, but it’s never blown up, its future has repeatedly been in doubt, and the big guy has reportedly made nada off of it. It’s such a burden to him that, according to a new report, he once tried to dump it on someone far wealthier than he is.

A new report by The Washington Post claims that last summer Trump was looking to find a buyer for his MAGA social media service, which has long been the exclusive home to his deranged posting. Among those he approached was Musk. Musk said no, possibly in part because he was a little busy creating endless fires at the much bigger social media service he’d purchased late the previous year.

Still, the report shows Trump and Musk have communicated more than people have previously known, with advisers to the former alleging that they’ve pow-wowed a number of times about “politics and business,” which might help explain that rightward turn he’s made in the last few years. As it happens, last week a report emerged that Trump had visited Musk and some other figures wealthier than him, begging them for some much-needed scratch.

The Post reached out for comment and received this from a Trump Media spokesperson: “We heard Trump and Musk were actually discussing buying the Washington Post but they decided it had no value.” Unlike Truth Social, of course.

Periods have been giving people a run for their money since the beginning of time. It’s a pretty safe bet that nobody likes them. If there was a way to replace them with a text message, email or post card that simply read, “not pregnant this month,” people would happily sign up for that instead. There are so many better ways to deliver the message than debilitating cramps, irritability, headaches and the need for menstrual products.

Emily Vondy took to social media to show her attempt to psyche herself up for her period, and it’s got people laughing. The woman appears to be standing in a mirror filming herself do a pep talk to prepare herself for her upcoming menstrual cycle. But it was honestly probably doing the opposite, though the song is clearly a bop.

“The average woman has about 450 periods in her lifetime, which adds up to ten years. Ten years of our lives will be spent menstruating and I don’t want all those years to suck, so this is my attempt to gaslight myself into thinking my period is super cool,” Vondy says to open the video.

Yikes! Ten years seems a bit excessive, mother nature, but that’s the point of the tune Vondy starts rapping. Pointing out the reason people have periods and how cool our bodies are may make the cramps of a period not seem so bad. Again, not sure it will have the desired effect but commenters really felt her jam was on point.

“Are my kids of homeschooling age yet? No. Do I have a daughter? No. Will this song be apart of our homeschool science curriculum? Yes. Yes it will,” one woman writes.

“Ohhhhhh my gosh!! No lie THIS…. This song should be reproduced and used in Health classes all around. It’s VERY on point of what to expect or should expect and gives the needed encouragement. I’m going to save it for my now 4yr old daughter. It’s fun,” another says.

“Straight to the point NOT PERPENDICULAR this was the most valiant effort I can imagine for period hype. Go team,” someone encourages.

There were puns made in the comments as well and a little confusion on her math with people wondering how periods only lasted 10 years of life. Vondy explained that she meant if you added up all the minutes a person was actively on their period then it adds up to 10 years. Either way, everyone seemed to agree the song was a banger and should be used in curriculum and available on iTunes.

Ari Aster is still a few years from 40, yet he’s already a major auteur. He has two sui generis horror hits on his CV; a semi-pricey underperformer that has future cult item written all over it; and a superfan in no less than Martin Scorsese. He can do whatever he wants, with whatever cast he wants. So it’s not surprise that his next film, which beings production this week, is a) part of a semi-uncool genre, and b) has quite the cast.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Aster’s next film is called Eddington, and it’s described as a “contemporary Western” concerning, per THR, a “small-town New Mexico sheriff with lofty aspirations.” Who’s in it? None other than Joaquin Phoenix, who was very game as the ever-harried titular lead in Aster’s mind-melting epic Beau is Afraid.

As for the rest of the cast, Phoenix will reunite with his Irrational Man costar Emma Stone, who’s hot off a pretty exciting Sunday. The happily ubiquitous Pedro Pascal will be in it, too, as will Austin Butler, recently seen duking it out bald — if sadly sans Sting codpiece — in Dune: Part Two. The cast (or at least that made public thus far) is rounded out by Luke Grimes, Deidre O’Connell, Michael Ward, and Clifton Collins Jr.

Who’s footing the bill for another star-studded Ari Aster mindf*ck? A24, of course, who have always happily given him carte blanche to make whatever he wants, even if it’s a three-hour Jewish mother joke that was never going to turn into another Hereditary or Midsommar (but which definitely bewitches those on its madcap wavelength).

In their Instagram post announcing the title, cast, and genre, A24 claimed Eddington was “coming soon,” but it’s probably not. Let the man work.
