Marvel Reportedly Found Their Miles Morales For ‘Spider-Man 3’, ‘Into The Spider-Verse’ On Deck?
Source: JAY MAIDMENT / Sony Pictures After the end credits began to roll on Avengers: Endgame, many a comic book fan wondered “how in the hell would Marvel be able to top such an epic film”? Well, it looks like they’re about to give it that good old college try. After word leaked that Jamie Foxx would be reprising his role as Electro in the upcoming Spider-Man 3 film, Dr. Strange was added to the cast which promptly sparked suspicions that a live-action Spider-Verse film was in the works.

Yeah Right: Lindsey Graham Cops Sarcasm Pleas Over “Good Old Days Of Segregation” Comment
Source: TOM WILLIAMS / Getty Lindsey Graham and his fellow Republicans are currently on a hellbent mission to fill the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s seat by confirming conservative Judge Amy Coney Barrett. During the confirmation hearing, Graham said something that had ears perking all over the country. Wednesday (oct.14), Graham asked Barrett if she was confident that the iconic 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision that determined segregation in schools was unconstitutional “super-precedent,” meaning there no chance it could be overturned unless challenged by legislative bodies because she is “not aware of any effort to go back to the good old days of segregation via legislative body.” As expected, Graham’s comment raised eyebrows, and he was immediately call...
Kanye West Wins Billboard Music Awards In Gospel Category, Killer Mike Honored
Source: Kevin Mazur/BBMA2020 / Getty Last night’s Billboard Music Awards went down and while Post Malone walked away the night’s biggest winner with 9 extra trophies to display on the mantle in his home, Kanye West also got some recognition for his new venture into the world of gospel music. Though his gospel album Jesus Is King was received to mix reviews and mostly praised by Donald Trump Jr. (we wonder why), Yeezy walked away with Top Gospel Artist, Top Christian Album, Top Gospel Album, and Top Gospel Song awards by the time the night was done. Kirk Franklin is somewhere cursing the heavens over this, maybe. Still, at the end of the day it is basically a popularity contest and no disrespect to Mr. Franklin, but Kanye West is way more known outside of gospel circles so we’re not surpris...

Inhaler Drops Bouncy, Topical New Song ‘When It Breaks’

Meet the Voices of Latin Protest Music
One of Brazil’s best-known singers and political activists, Veloso purposely wrote this upbeat tune about freedom in a rock’n’roll style, hoping to provoke Brazilian youth as a military dictatorship engulfed the country. Though Veloso’s use of electric guitars drew boos from a festival crowd, the song still became one of the most revered of the tropicália movement, and Veloso’s most popular in his five-decade career, with its urgent refrain about wanting “to keep living”: “Why not? Why not?” Víctor Jara, “Manifiesto” (1974) The Chilean singer-songwriter and Communist activist wrote this hauntingly wistful folk song — a testament to his reason for becoming a revolutionary artist — just weeks before he was tortured and shot to death by soldiers of Augusto Pinochet in the dictator’s September...
