Kanye West Now Streaming on Tidal. Wait, WTF is Tidal?!
Ok, first of all, what the FUCK is Tidal? It seems like every other fuckin day we have some new music service that's just gonna change the fuckin game. Apple Music, Spotify, Pandora, Beats, fuuuuuckin, you name it. The latest? Tidal, "High Fidelity Music Streaming." While it's still in its infancy, Jay Z explained that Tidal is not meant to compete with Spotify or any other streaming service but that the service is structured around paying artists more for their, well, art.

Facebook Shutting Down Dispensary Pages?!
Legal weed is doing, well... rather well in the US. How well? I meeeeean how does $5.4 BILLION in 2015 sound for "well"? That's almost an entire billion dollar increase from 2014's $4.6 billion.

Does Obama have the Right to Appoint New Justice in Election Year?
Beyond that 6th hour US government class or that one political science class you took at community college, or flipping past CSPAN, have you really heard the term Supreme Court? No shade. I had to go back and do research. What do they actually do? Why do they matter? And why is the death of justice Antonin Scalia amidst the end of the Obama's presidency and probably the STRANGEST political battle (dude. Trump's talked about women, called Mexicans rapists and murderers AND said Pussy on live television... AND STILL HAS A CHANCE!), well, let's just go with ever, so significant? IN...
