Olivia Rodrigo’s ‘Drivers License’ Zooms Into No. 1 Chart Spot With New Streaming Records
In late 2018, when “Old Town Road” was first gaining steam on TikTok and other online platforms, conversations arose around the nature its rise. Was it a meme with a BPM?

Why bring this all up now? Well, there’s a new No. 1 in town, and its extremely accelerated and much-celebrated success recalls a bit of the rise of “Old Town Road,” though the two songs couldn’t sound more different.

Joe Biden and Kamala Harris were sworn into the office of the president and vice president of the United States, respectively, on Wednesday (January 20). Shortly after, the new POTUS took the podium outside the U.S. Capitol to address the nation for the first time as its leader, in a speech that again and again stressed unity, togetherness, and healing amid a turbulent time. “My fellow Americans,” Biden began. “This is America’s day.

She Always Has Time: AOC Checks Bonehead Texas Senator Ted Cruz For Idiotic Paris Climate Agreement Tweet
Source: Tom Williams / Getty AOC always has time to check Ted Cruz on Twitter when he tweets something really dumb. President Joe Biden wasted no time fixing some of the issues that he inherited from Donald Trump. On top of his list of executive orders was to rejoin the Paris Climate Agreement immediately. Trump withdrew the United States from the agreement for no good reason except that it’s something our forever president, Barack Obama, agreed to. With Trump pulling the U.S. out, we joined nine countries out of the 197 that signed on to pledge to take steps to reduce their carbon footprints to tackle the issue of climate change. Of the nine countries that didn’t join the Paris Climate Agreement, the U.S. and Iran were the biggest emitters of greenhouse gases. Ted Cruz, who has been deser...

Source: Johnny Louis/WENN.com / WENN Now that the “Racist-In-Chief” Donald Trump is finally out the White House and sheltering at Mar-A-Lago awaiting the first of many indictments and lawsuits, Macklemore has decided to throw a little salt in the MAGA wound with a new freestyle airing them and Donnie out. Stepping behind the mic with his pornstache in tow, the Seattle rapper took aim at Trump, his horde of white nationalists, and even liberals who overlooked the sociopolitical issues that the resistance fought for and against for the past 4 years. Immediately going on the attack on his “Trump’s Over Freestyle,” Macklemore kicked off the rhyme by rapping, “All you high fiving, MAGA white boys drinkin’ White Claw/care about your taxes more than human rights, sign off/you no mask wearin,’ big...
Stop The Cap: Charges Against Tory Lanez For Allegedly Shooting Megan Thee Stallion Have Not Been Dropped
Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz83 That story about Megan Thee Stallion dropping charges against Tory Lanez is pure C A P. Twitter can be a great tool when used properly, but it’s also the land of misinformation where a lie can spread faster than the actual truth. Earlier today (Jan.21), Tory Lanez apologists thought they got what they were hoping for, and that’s some sort of vindication that the Canadian varmint didn’t shoot Megan Thee Stallion in a July 2020 incident. A tweet (that should be deleted) from an account called FuciousTV claimed the charges against Lanez were dropped. “According to the #LosAngeles County Superior Court website, the charges against #ToryLanez in the July 2020 incident have been or dropped. The website indicates that there are no upcoming trial dates aft...
