Rimac Nevera First Look: The C_Two Becomes a 1,914-HP, 258-MPH Electric Hypercar
Rimac has been around for some time, but everything it’s built (so far) has a proof of concept. There were the electric C_One (C1) and C_Two (C2), successive hypercar concepts (the “C” in their names standing in for the word “concept”) previewing future salable efforts. Now, the C2 has finally evolved into a production car called Nevera, trading in its concept-related moniker for a name inspired by a type of Mediterranean storm that rapidly forms on the coast of Croatia, Rimac’s home country. The Nevera, like the two concepts that came before it, is a super-EV that boasts massive performance and power claims. The headline figures are 1,914 hp, 1,741 lb-ft of torque, a 258 mph top speed, and a price tag of more than $2.4 million. The body is made of carbo...

Franklin Saint Back: Damson Idris Returns To Twitter After Brief Deactivation
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Leon Bennett / Getty Damson Idris has become something of a big deal due in part to his star turn as the cold-blooded hustler Franklin Saint in FX’s Snowfall. After seemingly being run off Twitter, the British actor returned after folks on the social media network unnecessarily called him corny for asking a harmless question. The hullabaloo on Twitter occurred when Idris, 29, asked a question that has been asked in some form or fashion in times past in that space. Idris wrote, “Question. Ladies, if a guy keeps texting you to meet up but you know you will NEVER want to why don’t you just tell him?” For some reason, this sparked many online into calling Idris corny and saying that he’s pulling the old “asking for a friend” bit but he cleared that up in anot...

Chvrches and Smith talked to Apple Music’s Zane Lowe about how Screen Violence was actually a band name Chvrches didn’t end up going with and but eventually recycled for this project because of how it captures the prevalent digital communication used during the COVID-19 pandemic. They also unveiled how the indie pop band came together with The Cure frontman for the emotive collaboration, which Martin Doherty said was an emotional full-circle moment for him. “I wouldn’t be in a band if it wasn’t for Disintegration and Pornography,” he said while naming The Cure’s most influential albums of the ’80s goth-rock era. “So when Robert got back to us and said that he was interested in collaborating, ….

Sad! Donald Trump Shutters Blog After Less Than One Month
<span class="localtime" data-ltformat="F j, Y | g:ia" data-lttime="2021-06-02T21:12:44+00:00“>June 2, 2021 | 5:12pm ET It was the yugest blog in history: hotter than Donald Trump’s steaks, more magnanimous than the Trump Foundation charities, and even better attended than the former president’s inauguration. Now, it is no more. Less than a month after launching From the Desk of Donald Trump with a promise to “redefine the game,” 45 has shut down his blog and moved on. After most social media platforms banned Trump following the January 6th Capitol insurrection, his aides canvassed Fox News with a sales pitch. The blog would be “the hottest ticket” in social media, according to senior adviser Jason Miller, drawing “tens of m...
Mouse Rat Releases Two More Songs, ‘The Pit’ and ‘Two Birds Holding Hands,’ Off The Awesome Album
Following the announcement just a couple of short weeks ago that the iconic Pawnee, Indiana band Mouse Rat would be releasing The Awesome Album in August thanks to Dualtone Music Group and (of course) the legendary industry bigwigs at Entertainment 720, Andy Dwyer and his three bandmates have officially released the second and third tracks from the long-awaited album. While neither song is an established international mega-hit like the album’s lead single (and touching Li’l Sebastian tribute) “5,000 Candles In the Wind,” the two new tracks show the diversity in skill and songwriting from the band. Fans may remember “The Pit” as one of the band’s earliest tracks to be featured in the award-winning docuseries Parks and Recreation after Dwyer tragically broke both of his legs a...
