They’ll Probably Never Make A ‘Midnight Sun’ Movie, But We’ve Dreamt Up the Soundtrack Just in Case
By now, you’ve had a little over a week to dive into Stephenie Meyer’s Midnight Sun, the long-awaited companion novel to 2005’s Twilight. And if you’re like us, then you’re already foaming at the mouth for a feature film starring everyone’s favorite sparkling vampires. The Twilight franchise is also known for its stellar soundtracks, which, after the first film, featured all-original songs recorded just for the movies. Like the Twilight soundtrack, it stands to reason that a Midnight Sun soundtrack could feature a combination of existing and original songs, so we’ve imagined what that could look like. Also, while series stars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart have been outspoken about their distaste for the films over the years, we will remind you that Pattinson seems to hav...

RZA Whipped Up a New Ice Cream Truck Jingle With Good Humor to Toss Out the Old Racist One
RZA came up with the ingredients for a new ice cream truck jingle that isn’t spoiled with a racist past. The Wu-Tang Clan mastermind teamed up with Good Humor, the century-old ice cream company that brought us the original ice cream truck, strawberry shortcake bar, chocolate-coated ice cream on a stick and more goodies, for a musical treat with a trap flare to it. The company chose to ring in its centennial anniversary this year with a different sound, one that ensures “ice cream trucks across the country continue to spread joy to everyone for the next 100 years,” according to Good Humor’s website. “We come to find out that it has racist roots,” the rapper-producer said in a video explaining the story behind the revamped ice cream truck instrumental. ...
Most Latino Adults Have Not Heard of the Term Latinx, New Poll Finds
In 2018, the term Latinx was officially added to the Merriam-Webster dictionary defining the word as a gender-inclusive term and an alternative to “Hispanic” or “Latino” used by people of Latin American descent who “do not identify as being of the male or female gender or who simply don’t want to be identified by gender.” While the term has recently gained popularity among younger Latinos, embraced by a handful of Latin artists like Becky G and Lauren Jauregui and used by some political figures like Julian Castro and Elizabeth Warren when referring to the Latino/Hispanic community, a Pew Research Center poll finds that only 23% of U.S. adults who self-identify as Hispanic or Latino have heard of the term Latinx and just 3% say they use it to describe the...
