This would be so fire. Off top I’m thinking: Nitty vs LP rematch Danny Meyers vs Oppa Justice vs Tariq Hansel vs K Venom Fate vs Homeskool Saynt vs Archduke

Thinking about this again and feeling like @RumNitty and @Iam_AWard would be an insanely powerful duo…

Random: @urltv has been doing a really great job expanding their roster, from rookies to people like Ward, Flex and Will. Which is awesome for many reasons, one of which is that it could potentially open the door to a very cool double impact card?… 👀👀👀

@HomeskoolMC Might be biased because I was in the building for it but I say Jay R. and I’m a huge JTNW fan.

It’s so funny that everyone thinks of this as being the plot of National Treasure when in actuality they successfully steal the Declaration of Independence like 45 min into the film. Then things somehow keep getting bigger and more awesome from there. Truly an exquisite film.

"I have to steal the Declaration of Independence because there's a treasure map on the back" is objectively the best plot ever for a movie. We're not going to be able to top that.

This take is lazy and annoying but so are all the retweets pretending this show wasn’t at least a little transgressive when it came out. Have any of you people actually watched the first season??

Rainn Wilson says "The Office" probably wouldn’t be made today, telling Fox News Digital that media trends have shifted left and that cancel culture makes it difficult for edgy comedies to thrive.

What an insanely misguided description of this album’s sound. Hozier??

New Vince Staples album would be considerably better if its entire sonic palette didn't sound like stuff Hozier or The Black Keys would have written for an Urban Outfitters commercial in 2014

Damn now Berrettini’s retiring from the French Open. With how physical this sport is becoming and temperatures getting hotter and these men having to play for 5+ hours at a time, we gotta start asking if best of 5 is really necessary. It’s no fun seeing a Slam decided this way.

In the pre-chorus of Thong Song when Sisqo says “I think I’ll sing it again” it’s actually a triple entendre: 1. He sings the words “truck” “what” “but” again 2. He sings the whole pre-chorus again 3. He later sings the whole verse + pre-chorus again

Why do capitalists keep mentioning food delivery like it’s this new-fangled Gen-Z fad?? It’s been around for forever and it used to be more affordable! Because of inflation!! Am I going crazy???

The proudest moment of my career was getting to talk about battle rap on the front page of Art & Leisure, which I only did because Caryn was willing to take a chance on me. 🫡

After 11 years, thousands of articles, 11 Taylor Swift album releases, one of the biggest trials in music history and more traumatizing deaths than one pop music editor could fathom, I have decided to leave The New York Times.
