Does it seem to you like Wendy’s social media department goes around Twitter looking for fights with other fast food chains?
Maybe so, but who can argue with their trolling when it turns into such delightful social media snark.
The company’s latest Twitter beef started Monday morning when the chicken wing chain Wingstop posted a tweet paraphrasing a verse from Migos’ “Bad and Boujee.”
Those in the business of protecting Cam Newton have often found doing so to be a Herculean task. On the field, Newton himself is of great help—elusive, tactful, and deliberate in his play. But the Panthers quarterback is altogether different before microphones from how he is before middle linebackers, and the tale of Cam Newton is one of someone who—before the world’s gaze—seems painfully unsure of the man he wishes to be.
His wavering stances on race in America anger both those who loathe his sheepish approach to injustice as well as those who urge him not to weigh in on race, as he did in response to police shooting a black man in Charlotte last September. Read More Here

A former South Florida plastic surgeon, who in 1998 was placed on probation by Florida’s health department for a botched penis enlargement procedure, didn’t let his reputation get in the way of being sentenced to 44 months in prison for a failed butt lift. Big Baller Brand owner LaVar Ball, an expert in basic economics as evidenced by offering a $495 basketball shoe, is pulling his 16-year-old son LaMelo Ball out of high school and will homeschool him. Former 10-day White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci launched a social media-only news company that “doesn’t have reporters or staff” and will “100% be getting things wrong” sometimes. The white New York police officer who mistakenly tackled black former tennis player James Blake but was not fired is suing Blake for defamation for being “cast as a racist and a goon.” The lawyer for O.J. Simpson called the Florida attorney general “a complete stupid b—-” and said “F— her” after the woman petitioned to deny Simpson a transfer to serve parole in Florida following his release from a Nevada prison. Rock musician Tom Petty died, then didn’t die, and then died again. One member of country act the Josh Abbott Band finally supports gun control legislation after being affected by a gunman killing 59 people and injuring another 500 at the Las Vegas music festival where he and his bandmates had performed. Hours after the Nevada shooting, former boxer George Foreman challenged actor Steven Seagal to “one on one, I use boxing you can use whatever. 10 rounds in Vegas.” Read More Here

There are only six episodes left of HBO‘s hit series Game of Thrones, however it looks like fans will be waiting longer than usual for the final season to air to to find out who will live, who will die, and who will eventually end up on the Iron Throne.
The current rumor for GoT‘s endgame came way of Nikolaj Coster-Waldau — who plays Jamie Lannister — during an interview with Collider, stating the final episodes won’t drop until 2019. Read More Here

‘Church Clothes’ Vol 1“If Wu-Tang can spit 5 Percent gems, I can rap about Him who died for my sins.” This line from “Co-Sign” summarizes everything I dig about Lecrae’s new mixtape Church Clothes conceptually.
The Houston native not only sticks true to his message of faith and divine intervention, but manages to break down that wretched “secular/sacred” barrier that people tend to place upon rappers in his lane by referencing one of the most openly mystic hip hop acts ever. In a more functional regard, he shows a clear change from his landmark LP, Rehab, not only lyrically but thematically as well.
Without any further delay, let’s take a closer look at Google’s Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL.

Could creating your character be likened to an artist creating a sculpture? I believe that character is not something that just happens by itself any more than a chisel can create a work of art without the hand of an artist guiding it. In both instances, a conscious decision for a specific outcome has been made. A conscious process is at work. Character is the result of hundreds and hundreds of choices you make that gradually turn who you are, at any given moment, into who you want to be. If that decision-making process is not present, you will still be somebody. You will still be alive but might have a personality rather than a character. Read More Here
They call it “The Mandalay Massacre.”
A 64-year-old man armed with more than 10 assault rifles shot and killed at least 58 people in what is being called the largest mass shooting in modern U.S. history. At last count, more than 500 were injured in the tragedy.
The question that comes to mind at a time like this is, why? Why did God allow such a horrible thing to happen? Read More Here
A significant portion of the NFL’s fan base has reacted negatively to the national anthem protests of the past year. The responses tend to follow a pattern:
The stadium is no place for political protest. The game is a color-blind meritocracy. To protest football is to protest America.
But according to a study we published last year, white football fans and black football fans hold very different views about the relationship between football and national pride. And it might explain why there have been such divergent, emotional responses to the protests. Read More Here
