Cardi B fires back at BIA on the “Wanna Be” remix: “Guess I’m a teacher since you wanna sub me. She did one had no idea, thought she was on the shelf IKEA. Hope she talk like that when I see her. B*tch please don’t nobody wanna be her (BIA).

In other news: Who would have ever bet on Cardi B sharing a Kurdish–Turkish remix? Not me, that’s for sure, but here we are 🥲 And Rubar Amed’s follow-up? The cherry on top: “Some things lose their meaning when told incompletely… This song is like that. When the Kurdish part is ignored, it remains incomplete.” ☀️ #CardiB Salamaleykum Saleykum Salaaam

🚨 A few months back, Rory from the Rory & Mal podcast exposed Charlamagne tha God for allegedly being on retainer with Atlantic Records for over 15 years 👀. For context, that’s the same label Cardi B is signed to. Fast forward to today Charlamagne gave Nicki Minaj “Donkey of the Day” for her back and forth with Atlantic Records rap artist, Cardi B. Here’s the issue: •Charlamagne has spent years heavily promoting the W.A.P rapper Cardi B. He’s even often bragged about having her perform at his daughter’s Sweet 16. •During today’s segment, he went directly at Nicki Minaj while ignoring all of Cardi’s history of disrespect toward Nicki not just recently, but over the years. •He also skipped over the fact that this whole situation started with Cardi bragging on X/Twitter Spaces about outselling her “opps” … only for her album sales to not reach that mark. 🤯 What’s surprising is Charlamagne, a Black man from South Carolina, continues to uplift a non Black artist who has repeatedly used Anti Black slurs, even calling Black women and their children “monkeys” and “roaches.” Cardi B herself admitted on The Breakfast Club she was working in a hood strip which sets the scene as an urban black venue. She says how she was jealous of those women making more money than her and she called them “Monkey Faced B words”. ( video below) 📌 Lastly, For those wondering what it means for a radio host to be “on retainer” by a label: It’s basically payola an under the table arrangement where a label pays a radio host (or promoter) to give their artists constant airplay and (Positive coverage). This isn’t disclosed to the public, creating a fake sense that an artist’s popularity is organic.

👀🧐 AYO Nicki Fans/ Barbz it’s officially up… I really didn’t want to break this line down, but I feel like it’s necessary to have context filed for when Nicki get on here or on wax and light Jay Z and his family up for what he just did. It sounds like Jay-Z may have been taking a really disrespectful shot at Nicki Minaj and her family during his freestyle through the use of purposeful omission a technique where a writer intentionally leaves out key details and allows the audience to fill in the blanks themselves. Sometimes what isn’t said paints the clearest picture. The line in question: 🗣️ “Her Kid can’t even pick their kids up nor take him,,, Enough Of Them …” Then he goes to the maga lines To me the wording appeared to be fumbled, intentionally. but the meaning is still loud and clear This Might Be A Triple Entendre If I’m Hearing This Correctly… The line: 🗣️ “Her kid, can’t even pick their kids up nor take him …” On the surface, it sounds simple. But if Jay-Z intentionally delivered it the way he did, there could be multiple layers to what’s being said. 1️⃣ He could be referring to Nicki Minaj’s husband as “her kid,” essentially portraying him as someone she has to take care of rather than an equal partner. 2️⃣ The line could be interpreted as a reference to her husband’s legal history, implying he can’t perform normal parental responsibilities like picking up or taking a child to school. 3️⃣ This is the really foul and disrespectful one from. The intentional stuttering and broken delivery could be another layer entirely, with Jay-Z using tactics these Nicki hate accounts and bot accounts do with disrespecting Nicki’s family with mocking the way Nicki’s son allegedly once spoke while disguising it as a fumbled bar. All I know is If all three meanings were intended at the same time, then this wasn’t just a diss line it was a triple entendre packed into a single sentence. Barbz and Nicki fans light him up cause this was a very foul line and delivery 🤦🏾‍♂️

« BITCH YOU COULD NEVER » Isn’t just a title, it’s a statement ! I’ve built a world that was never meant to be protected .. a world criticized, ignored and pushed aside because being a Black alternative pop woman scares the system. And now ? I’m watching artists copy my music video shot for shot with zero credit and zero respect. And the irony ? I wrote this song about artists copying me. Well… I guess when you go global, the thieves go global too right ? Let’s be real, the K-pop industry like many others has been draining Black culture like a vampire for decades. Sampling our sound, stealing our moves, wearing our skin like a costume, profiting from our pain while erasing our names ! Stop stealing from artists and acting like there’s no weight to it. Every action has a shadow. You might steal the bloom but history knows who planted the seed ! To my fans, thank you for your words, your love and your protection on social media. It truly means so much to me. I can’t carry this fight alone and knowing you stand with me gives me strength. Now’s the time to SHOW UP and stream my new ALBUM « MENTAL » make sure « Bitch You Could Never » gets the justice it deserves -> 💋

Quite a masterclass in 18 seconds: apologising while you publicly accused me of three serious forms of criminal conduct without producing any evidence. the irony is it'll end with u behind bars I noted your requests yesterday; the relevant steps are already underway. I’m still waiting for you to unlock my funds on (don't mix up stealing or holding someone's money with blackmail.) I’m also keeping careful note of these statements, which will shed considerable light once placed in their proper context: “I chose the people around me. I approved the culture.” “I established what got rewarded.” “I am the person at the top.” “I created the environment where they thought that was the game.” “I helped invent the competition. That belongs to me.” “People around me saw what received attention. They saw that escalation was rewarded.” “You doxxed me and sent me death threats.” “You keep trying to blackmail me for money.”

My ordinary grocery "Meat Markdown" hunt was delayed by a Pharmacist as I walked into the store. He was standing at a display table & announced, "If you schedule 2+vaccines for the same visit we are giving a dozen doughnuts for free as a thank you for getting your preventive shots." He handed me a list of available vaccines while he held a clip board with a signup sheet. He was offering: Covid/Flu Shingles Pneumonia Hepatitis A & B RSV Tdap Meningitis HiB HPV Tetanus When I replied thank you, but no thank you..... He smiled & nodded, then said if I transferred my Prescriptions, I could get the dozen doughnuts as a thank you also. I took a deep breath & smiled. I thanked him again & said, " I don't have any Prescriptions to transfer." He said, "we can call your Dr & have them transferred." Still smiling....I said, "There's none to transfer sir." He appeared puzzled & clarified, "you're not on any meds? Can I ask how old you are?" I shared, "I used to take more than 15 Medications, but I've healed those conditions. And of course you can ask, I am 54." He hesitated a few seconds & finally said, "I've never met anyone our age on no Meds, I'm on 5." Smiling I said, "Glad I am your first & I hope I'm not your last." "Meds only caused side effects for me, never healed anything." I went on to the Meat Dept & I heard him start his "free doughnuts for vaccines" speech again with the next customer coming through the entrance.

Reading with your baby isn’t always as simple as it might seem. Earlier this week, a parent asked how I’d advise reading to a toddler who may not have the attention span for a full book and who, when handling them, often tears the pages. I’m so glad you asked! This fantastic video, shared to TT a couple years back by hanzcakess, illustrates both the realities of - and several important lessons for - parents and caregivers when it comes to reading with infants and toddlers. First, when reading with very young children it’s important to begin with realistic expectations. At this little guy’s age (which I’m going to guess is around a year, give or take 2 months) babies‘ attention spans are VERY limited. Think 1-2 minutes tops. What does that mean for you? First it means that you’re unlikely to make it through an entire book. And that’s just fine. Rest assured that there’s still great value in the activity. Further, don’t be surprised if your child is more interested in interacting with (or at the earliest stages, even chewing on) the book itself rather than attending to the story it contains. That’s ok too. For both reasons, beginning with sturdy, laminated board books is well advised. Not only do these tend to be super short (with most intended to accommodate for babies’ brief attention spans), but they’re made to withstand the rigors of handling by infants and toddlers. Now, some might look at this video and (on first glance, at least) see primarily inattention. But not me! Here’s what I see: First, I see a completely normal toddler who’s already putting some really impressive book knowledge on display. Notice he’s advancing front to back and left to right as he turns pages sequentially. They’ve done this often. Also want to shout out what a truly fantastic job Dad is doing here. Notice that he’s totally letting his son dictate the terms the activity. He’s not insistent on completing the text, but goes with the flow as his son turns the pages. As the pages turn he’s helping to illustrate that the print on each one contains a unique message. And he’s singing the text! Brown Bear is a great book for this and many board books lend themselves particularly well here. Your baby isn’t judging your singing voice. Kudos on making the experience engaging. In light of all the above, don’t be afraid to stray from the text altogether as needed and use this time to simply engage in conversation about the pictures and introduce some new vocabulary. Finally, while lap reading is fantastic, at this age you may also find benefit in reading face to face, allowing your child to tune into your expressions alongside the book. Remember, there’s nothing your baby loves seeing more than you. Rest assured this stage doesn’t last forever. You’ll be snuggling up for longer sessions in no time. And while we’re on the topic of reading, I want to give a special shout out to my friends at Reach Out and Read, which is a fantastic program you may know from distributing books and sharing advice like this via your pediatrician’s office. Today I’m thrilled to be the guest on their newest podcast, discussing my book The Daycare Myth. I’ll include a link in the first reply below.

Thank you for your suggestion, Akin Akin Let me explain the challenge we face with the incessant illegal sand-filling of wetlands and canal alignments. While the government has erected warning signposts across many of these vulnerable areas, a significant number of these illegal activities take place within gated estates. In many cases, unscrupulous developers instruct security personnel to deny government officials access for inspections, deliberately frustrating enforcement efforts and obstructing regulatory oversight. During our inspection yesterday, I personally had to open the gate of an estate to enable our enforcement team gain access to a site where illegal sand-filling was taking place. Our inspection revealed that about 10 buildings had been constructed directly on a canal, obstructing the natural flow of water and causing severe backflow into a neighbouring community. Enforcement action has commenced, and those structures will begin to be removed today. The property owners will also be given the opportunity to defend their actions before the appropriate legal authorities. In another estate, more than 15 Civil Defence personnel had been engaged to provide security for an illegal construction on a canal alignment. That development has also been marked for immediate removal, with enforcement commencing today. We remain committed to protecting Lagos’ wetlands and drainage channels. No individual or developer will be allowed to endanger the lives and property of millions of Lagosians through illegal reclamation and encroachment on our waterways. TW

Wtf am I supposed to do with this Dave (Dave Meltzer) this is so mind-numbingly dumb it actually makes me want to quit X. You almost won. I genuinely feel that sorry for you. Because what’s the fucking point. I'm a Philadelphia Eagles fan. I played Division 1 football. I wasn't good at that level, but I was good enough to play at that level and against competition that was way over my head. Watching Eagles tape is kind of like my palette cleanser. It’s a hobby. Because everything else I enjoy somehow touches Hollywood and entertainment. X’s and O’s doesn’t touch my work. I can just be a fan and not somehow make it about my work. We’re 7-2 and it’s somehow still miserable to watch. We’re winning in spite of the QB. Sirianni’s boxed in. He can’t run what he wants because Hurts can’t go through progressions. We have 2 elite receivers and who are both fucking miserable because they are elite, and Hurts is an awful QB. That 4th and 6 with :30 left makes zero fucking sense unless you understand it in this context. That was frustration. It was an indictment on what they actually believe about Jalen Hurts, and Hurts couldn’t even make that throw. It almost cost the Eagles the game. That was Sirianni saying “I know what the fuck I'm doing!" Yeah, me too, Coach. I understand that Dave and Bryan make shit up. Most of you on X either don’t believe I am who I say I am, or you do and I enjoy writing really long dissertations — not because I give a fuck about arguing with Dave Meltzer. He is so obviously, to me, without any credibility. I enjoy educating and informing curious fans and giving actual credible rebuttals to what is obviously just absolute trash takes, uneducated opinions, and dishonest framing from Dave, who has absolutely destroyed his 40 years of reputation and the real respect that he once had from people that matter. I don’t even take any joy in writing this. Dave, you threw away your life’s work. You threw away 40 years of your life’s work. I get that you don’t understand the nuances of media and the economics of the business in 2025. That’s OK. Very few people do. I am amused that you double down on everything that you do not know. Anyone with a functioning brain sees right through it. It’s ok. I get a kick out of the fact that you ignore me, because if you were to engage me you’d only amplify how out of your depth you are, and you’re holding on tightly to the $14.99 subs model. I get it. I believe you are so narcissistic and myopic in your need to a) make a living and b) defend this whole narcissistic construct about the NWHOF You wear your Frank Deford idolization on your sleeve, which again… fine. Your takes hurt wrestlers. You are not honest. You very clearly have an agenda. You’ve sold 40 years of credibility for this. That’s not a new take. This… I’m not even intellectually stimulated about how can I take your 4th-grade, 1994, faux subject-matter-expert take, riff on your idiocy, and offer curious fans an actual fucking take. “Drew’s going to be gone for a while.” “He’s doing a movie.” You both said this shit so confidently. The movie doesn’t shoot until April '26. Cavill tore his ACL. It is super fucking public info. I am a real agent. This is the first time I’ve actually kind of agreed with some of my clients or coworkers or media people on X: “Nick, why do you bother? This is beneath you.” Yes, it’s indescribable how beneath me refuting you, even acknowledging your existence, is. It’s like a war crime. It’s absolutely insane that you are considered credible by anyone at all. God bless you. You have too much influence, though, with a few key people, and you are giving them bad advice bc you have no fucking clue what you are talking about and... “Drew’s going to be gone for a while.” You are a fraud. Laughably so. I am going to go back to picking apart the Eagles All-22. The movie shoots in April 2026 and I've worked the schedule out so it won't affect WWE creative.

Anyone with a functioning brain sees right through it. It’s ok. I get a kick out of the fact that you ignore me, because if you were to engage me you’d only amplify how out of your depth you are, and you’re holding on tightly to the $14.99 subs model. I get it. I believe you are so narcissistic and myopic in your need to a) make a living and b) defend this whole narcissistic construct about the NWHOF You wear your Frank Deford idolization on your sleeve, which again… fine. Your takes hurt wrestlers. You are not honest. You very clearly have an agenda. You’ve sold 40 years of credibility for this. That’s not a new take. This… I’m not even intellectually stimulated about how can I take your 4th-grade, 1994, faux subject-matter-expert take, riff on your idiocy, and offer curious fans an actual fucking take. “Drew’s going to be gone for a while.” “He’s doing a movie.” You both said this shit so confidently. The movie doesn’t shoot until April '26. Cavill tore his ACL. It is super fucking public info. I am a real agent. This is the first time I’ve actually kind of agreed with some of my clients or coworkers or media people on X: “Nick, why do you bother? This is beneath you.” Yes, it’s indescribable how beneath me refuting you, even acknowledging your existence, is. It’s like a war crime. It’s absolutely insane that you are considered credible by anyone at all. God bless you. You have too much influence, though, with a few key people, and you are giving them bad advice bc you have no fucking clue what you are talking about and... “Drew’s going to be gone for a while.” You are a fraud. Laughably so. I am going to go back to picking apart the Eagles All-22. The movie shoots in April 2026 and I've worked the schedule out so it won't affect WWE creative.

❤️DO YOU REALLY KNOW KIM SEOKJIN? If you know more about him, read this❤️ Op introducing a comment found on Kian’s B& B YouTube It’s 2019 KBS Song Festival BTS Stages she ‘s talking about, and here’s the video clip of the jacket moment, watch SeokJin at the end of the clip! 🗣️ I am writing this comment because I want to record something I remember about SeokJin ☺️ In the winter of the year the pandemic hit, the last year-end before the pandemic, I was lucky enough to win a spot for the pre-recording of a year-end stage, and I spent almost 5 to 6 hours with BTS. What was even luckier was that my assigned spot was in top 10%, so I was quite close to the stage. That year, the time given to BTS for the year-end stage was over 30 minutes, it was like a mini concert. They did pre-recordings for several songs while changing the stage sets and also did rehearsal for the next day’s live broadcast, so I was able to watch them closely for a long time. And the one who left the strongest impression on me, even more than my bias, was SeokJin. When the PD-nim had messages or directions to convey to the members about the stage, or when he had something to discuss, he mostly communicated with SeokJin. And SeokJin took on the role of relaying all the messages to the other members. While managing the stage, if there were small details like, for example, if a jacket taken off during the performance was left there when it might get caught on camera and look messy, so make sure to throw it over to the back of the set, things like that. Jin relayed all those messages and directions to the members, and if there were members who couldn’t follow that direction, he quietly took care of small details behind the scenes, like quickly tossing away the jacket that was left behind when the camera was on other members. He was handling those little details behind the scene quietly alone with care, that was my impression. Even though he's the eldest, he's not the leader, not the main vocalist, nor the choreography leader, so when BTS is all together, I personally feel that the spotlight rarely shines on him. Also, since he's not the type of hyung who bosses around other members, saying, "I'm your senior," it’s probably not easy for SeokJin to leave a strong impression (*to casual viewers/general public) But the deeper you look into BTS, the more you see that SeokJin is a true gem, quietly working behind the scenes and taking good care of his younger members with a genuinely beautiful heart. While watching SeokJin for hours in moments that weren’t captured on camera, what I felt was that he’s truly sincere, attentive and meticulous, leading by examples with a strong sense of responsibility. And while taking care of everything like that, he’s not interested in taking credit for the things he did, he just quietly accomplished everything without drawing attention, his presence was like salt and light, I felt. I think this is why there are so many heartwarming stories about SeokJin in the entertainment industry. Seeing his good characters that I saw get recognized in detail through this variety show, and feeling like many people will come to appreciate his integrity, somehow it makes me feel really happy. #Jin #방탄소년단진 #진 방탄소년단

🧵 ASAP Rocky vs Drake — A DEEPER LOOK (Receipts, Not Revisionism) ASAP Rocky recently went on The Joe Budden Podcast and claimed the reason he dissed Drake on “Stole My Flow” and other songs on the (Don’t Be Dumb) project is because Drake has been “taking shots at him for years” while he stayed silent.

In fifteen years of nursing I've watched countless patients say goodbye to the people they love — but I'd never seen a goodbye like the one in that dim hospital room at 2 a.m., when a dying old man reached a trembling hand down to the dog they'd smuggled in for him, rested it on that grey head, and whispered four words I'll never forget: "Don't leave me, boy." His name was Frank, eighty-four, and he'd come to us in his final decline with almost no one. A widower. His kids scattered across the country, one on a plane that wouldn't land in time. He wasn't afraid, the way some are. He was just… alone, in that particular way that breaks a nurse's heart no matter how many times you see it. He talked about one thing more than any other. Not his children. Not the past. A dog. An old shepherd mix named Duke he'd had for twelve years, who was staying with a neighbor while Frank was in the hospital. "Is Duke okay?" he'd ask. "Somebody's feeding Duke?" Over and over. That dog was clearly the great love of his quiet later years. On his last night, when it was clear he had hours and not days, I made a call I probably shouldn't have. I phoned that neighbor at midnight. And bless her, she got in her car and brought Duke to the hospital, and we quietly walked that old dog up the back way and into Frank's dim room. Duke went straight to the bed like he'd been looking for it his whole life. He put his front paws up on the mattress and pushed his big grey head against Frank's side, and the old man — who'd barely moved in a day — slowly, slowly lifted one shaking hand and laid it on the dog's head. His eyes were wet. His voice was barely there. But we all heard it. "There you are," he breathed. "Don't leave me, boy. Stay with your old man." Duke let out a low sound and pressed closer, and he did not move from that bed. And what happened in the hours after is something none of us on that floor have ever been able to talk about without our voices giving out.

USAAF 14th PRS Spitfire PR Mk XI gunned down at point blank range likely by a Luftwaffe Me 262 jet fighter in 1944 The incident pictured most likely involved Spitfire PR Mk XI PL782 flown by 2nd Lt Robert B Hilborn. The aircraft was intercepted over Lechfeld by Leutnant Alfred Schreiber of Erprobungskommando 262 in Me262 A-1a WerkNr. 110372 "White 3". This latter unit was the first to deploy the Messerschmitt jet and would later form Kommando Nowotny. Hilborn managed to bail out of his stricken aircraft and was taken prisoner. The USAAF insignia on the top of the port wing is clearly visible as the aircraft banks away and both the severe vibration on firing and size of the cannon shell impacts suggest 30mm gunfire consistent with the Me 262's MK 108 battery in the nose, and the jet aircraft would also have been able to comfortably keep up with the fast unarmed photoreconnaissance Spitfire variant at altitude. The 3cm Minengeschoss high-capacity shells were formidable projectiles each containing over 70 grams of high explosive and were designed to detonate within six or so inches of having penetrated the aircraft skin, destroying the aircraft structure in the process and rendering the aircraft unflyable after only a few hits. The amount of debris flying off the Spitfire after only three visible detonations is testament to the devastating effect of such fire. The US 14th Photographic Reconnaissance Squadron began to train with British-made Supermarine Spitfire Mk V fighters in July 1943 before equipping with the photographic reconnaissance PR Mk XI variant later that year. The squadron flew combat reconnaissance missions in the European Theater of Operations from August 12th 1943 until April 25th 1945. The squadron's Spitfires flew the majority of the target photography missions, including the first Spitfire reconnaissance mission over Berlin in March 1944, while the other squadrons of the 7th Photographic Group (Reconnaissance) equipped with F-5 Lightnings concentrated on photographic mapping. Deep penetration missions included reconnaissance of oil refineries to determine when repairs had been performed that could justify returning them to Eighth Air Force's target list. The Squadron earned a Distinguished Unit Citation for reconnaissance missions flown over France between May 31st 1944 and the end of June. The squadron flew over 300 successful sorties to support Operation Overlord, the invasion of Normandy. It flew missions over the Netherlands to support Operation Market Garden in October 1944 and conducted damage assessment of Germany until July 23rd 1945. In late 1944, the Spitfires, flying solo missions and relying only on speed and altitude for defense, began to prove vulnerable to the jet powered Messerschmitt Me 262 fighters entering service with the Luftwaffe. A squadron aircraft lost on September 5th 1944 was probably the first Army Air Forces loss to a German jet fighter. Erprobungskommando 262 had been formed in April 1944 at Lechfeld just south of Augsburg, as a test unit (Jäger Erprobungskommando Thierfelder, commanded by Hauptmann Werner Thierfelder) to introduce the Me 262 into service and train a corps of pilots to fly it. This was not Leutnant Schreiber's first go at an Allied reconnaissance plane, while flying over Munich on July 26th he encountered a Mosquito PR Mark XVI of No. 540 Squadron RAF piloted by Fl. Lt. A.E. Wall. Schreiber attempted to shoot down the unarmed Mosquito, though Wall evaded Schreiber's three attack runs and was able land safely at Fermo in Italy after what was the first air to air interception by a jet fighter in history.
