YE SUPER BOWL HALFTIME SHOW 🏈
Something everyone thought would NEVER happen.
I can confidently say Ye is in serious talks to perform at the Super Bowl. It MOST LIKELY won't happen this year, but he's being considered for a future halftime show.
Jay-Z doesn't have full control over the performer selection. All NFL teams also get an equal vote. Many of them actually DO want Ye to perform, and teams can (and do) object to artists. Some have objected to Ye this year, but not because of his past, it's because they're worried sponsors will pull out.
Ye clearly brings in massive attention and money, but he basically needs to prove he won't scare off sponsorships. I was told that playing more Festivals will help with this.
My source told me: "It's not that they don't think he's sorry, it's just not enough time has passed."
MY SOURCE: A family member of an NFL team owner contacted me to give me this info. I was provided with official credentials, ID, and more that I can't talk about because it would dox them. AI checked everything as well. But this is VERY real and I wouldn't put out a leak if I didn't believe it was true myself 💚💜
And also if anybody tells you this is fake, it's not. They're trying not to have stuff leaked.
I’m just going to say it
Kanye West is the greatest artist of all time when you encompass everything. Music & thematic prowess, genre bending hits, bodies of work, writer, rapper, producer, vocalist, sampler, fashion icon and tastemaker, marketing extraordinaire, national and global reach/influence.
Not to mention in the middle of a hate train/corporate boycott & still breaking barriers and records. Nobody else comes close to being that well rounded artistically. Not a soul, no matter the art form.
Man... GORDO really fucking snapped on this. This is easily my favorite album out of the three and I have been listening to it all day today.
Haven't even listened to the other two after yesterday (still need to listen some more), but that says a lot. And I was somebody that didn't like Honestly Nevermind too.
Summer is about to be a spectacle with how Drake music is going to dominate.
I'm so glad I put myself in a social media blackout before listening to Drake's albums. The opinions on here, in comparison to how I felt about the projects, are night and day.
There's still so much to explore, but overall, it was a very pleasant listening experience. For anybody to say that this was bad or even mid is just attempting to generate some sort of engagement.
Each of these albums is for a different demo of Drake's fan base, which is also a slight flex in that the people that were hating on him are incapable of doing something like that, unless they had him featuring on the song, ironically enough.
I know that it's good because I cannot wait to listen to this at least another 3-10 times over the next week, which is not something that many albums have done for me in the past six months, with the exception of "Octane" by Don Toliver.
(I love this outro, such a standout)
Ye originally wanted Lauryn Hill on “All Falls Down” in 2004 as it interpolates her song “Mystery of Iniquity,” but he couldn’t get the sample cleared at the time
Two decades later he brings her out to perform it together for the first time in front of a sold-out crowd of 80,000 fans 🔥🔥🔥
LEGENDARY 🤯
Germany’s food safety agency called this study’s lab method “completely unsuitable for testing for microplastics.” When they repeated the experiment properly, they found 1,000 times fewer particles.
Here’s what happened. The “11.6 billion particles” number comes from a single 2019 study at McGill University in Canada. The researchers steeped plastic tea bags in hot water, then evaporated all the water so they could examine what was left under an electron microscope. The problem is that when the water dried, dissolved chemical residue from the bag’s manufacturing process hardened into tiny specks. The microscope counted those dried-out specks as plastic particles, even though they were dissolved in the liquid like sugar dissolves in coffee. They were never actually floating around as pieces of plastic in your tea.
Germany’s Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR), their version of the FDA for food safety, caught this in 2020. They repeated the experiment but used a method that checks each particle one by one to confirm whether it’s actually plastic. They found 5,800 to 20,400 particles per bag. Not 11.6 billion.
A 2025 review paper co-authored by BfR researchers straight up called the original numbers “preparation artifacts,” meaning the particles only showed up because of how the lab samples were prepared, not because of the tea.
Two more things the tweet leaves out. First, the study only tested premium silky pyramid bags made from nylon and PET plastic. Those bags represent about 5% of the tea bag market. The flat rectangular tea bag most people actually use is made from wood pulp and abaca fiber, a plant from the banana family. Brands like Bigelow, Numi, Stash, Yogi, and Traditional Medicinals all use plant-based bags. Bigelow alone makes 2.2 billion tea bags a year with zero plastic.
Second, the total weight of all those “billions” of particles in the original study was 16 micrograms. That’s 16 millionths of a gram. A single grain of sand weighs about 50 times more.
No major health authority, not Germany’s BfR, not the European Food Safety Authority, not the WHO, has concluded that microplastics in food cause health problems at the levels people are currently exposed to.
The study is real. The number is probably wrong by a factor of 1,000. And it tested a product most tea drinkers don’t use.
