Music Drake’s new record sets a record Well, this shouldn’t be a surprise. Drake knows how to capitalise on social media almost better than anyone else, with the exception of maybe BTS, in ordinary times so he obviously knows how to take advantage of it right now, when everyone’s on lockdown and on their devices By Lainey • Apr 14, 2020 02:51 pm

Equality Issues The Work of Megan Thee Stallion Even though March felt like it was a century long, we’re now into April and the summer months feel like they’re within our grasp. That also means that it’s almost a year since Hot Girl Summer, both the song and the internet meme/movement. Aptly, Megan Thee By Prem • Apr 08, 2020 11:43 am
Maple Leaf JB + BTS Sasha and I meet at the intersection of Justin Bieber and BTS. This has come up a few times on our podcast, What’s Your Drama, which I shamelessly and highly recommend for your listen list during lockdown. Sasha is into Justin Bieber.

Music Drake’s new dance There is no other celebrity who can manipulate social media as well as Drake. Drake’s superpower is social media. He makes himself available to be memed.
