- Cardi said macaroni in the pot, so I vote yes.WAP is the only song to my knowledge that contains the word Gobble and thus should be the official song of Thanksgiving
- This week has made it very clear that we gotta make media literacy and media ethics a priority going forward. Too much unverified information is spreading too quickly, and too many people are falling for it.Megan Thee Stallion responds to DJ Akademiks’s tweet about the Tory Lanez case:
