So Hilary

Former tween Disney star Hilary Duff’s new album Breathe In. Breathe Out. is so good. It’s a post-divorce pop album that will have you ready to bash any man who has ever hurt her. Plus, turns out all of us who were fans of “So Yesterday” in elementary school were just deeply hipster third graders, way ahead of the Duff curve.

Mayo-Man

Tom Holland has been an- nounced as the new Spider- man. This news is about as exciting as hearing that your father is about to marry his third wife. Oh cool, another one? Maybe the flop of a third reboot will convince Sony and Marvel to produce even one film (not even a franchise!) starring a female superhero.

Thank you, Gmail

Google has introduced a new feature that will allow users to “unsend” an email seconds after the email was sent. Jan Boxill recently requested that Google develop an “unsend” button that works five or six years after the fact. UNC’s Public Records has also requested an “automatic redaction” button to redact all verbs and nouns.

Fix it all, Taylor

Now that Taylor Swift has convinced Apple to pay labels for streams during the free period of their new streaming service, we’re convinced she’s ready to move on to even more difficult challenges. Taylor, please write a letter to UNC about ConnectCarolina. If anyone can fix it, it’s Taylor Swift, national treasure.
