The third child of Tom Hanks has long been a powerful argument against his father’s perfection. From his days rapping under the name Chet Haze, to his insistence that he was allowed to use the N-word, through his odd appearance at the Golden Globes last year when he spent the whole evening talking in a fake Jamaican accent, the man now calling himself Hanx has always been an agent of chaos. Hanx’s newest venture kicked off two weeks ago, when he shared a baffling video on Instagr...

Cardi B Calls Out ‘Blue Check Republicans’ on Silence Over Shooting of Daunte Wright, Pepper-Spraying of Veteran
The officers ordered Nazario — who was in uniform and who had driven to a gas station in order to be in a well-lit location — to exit the vehicle as he held his hands up outside the window, asking them why he was being stopped; he said he was afraid to get out and was then hit with pepper spray in the eyes and forced to lay on the ground. In the video, Cardi — dressed in a fuzzy, white bathrobe — continued, “…Over some f—ing license plate that these mother—-ers couldn’t see — temporary license plate. We have seen a young man get killed by a cop, unarmed, and the excuse was the cop that had been on duty for 20-plus years, mistaked a gun for a taser,” she added, in reference to the police killing of 20-year-old Daunte Wright o...
