Joe Biden Elected President Of The United States
It’s official: Joe Biden has been elected President of the United States. Both the Associated Press and CBS News are calling the 2020 United States presidential election in favor of the former vice president and his VP pick, Senator Kamala Harris, with Biden crossing 270 electoral votes, enough to clinch victory from incumbent President Donald Trump. Key battleground states Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan flipped back to blue after going for Trump in 2016, which boosted Biden over the finish line. “Democracy is sometimes messy,” Biden said on November 5, two days before the race was called in his favor. “It sometimes requires a little patience as well. But that patience has been rewarded now for more than 240 years with a system of governance that’s...

Tom Morello and Rage Against the Machine Mock Trump Supporters Dancing to ‘Killing in the Name’
The election was officially called this morning, and Joe Biden is the President-Elect of the United States, thanks to Pennsylvania turning blue.

If someone wasn’t wearing a mask or was too close to another person, the screen issued an alert advising a correction ...

Gorillaz just released their collaboration-heavy long form project Song Machine Season One: Strange Timez late last month, but in a recent podcast interview, co-founder Damon Albarn suggested there’s even more new content from the group waiting in the wings.
