Quick hits for July 23, 2015

Shhh, Meek

This up thumb goes out to every rapper that didn’t tweet a link to Meek Mill’s new album, inspiring Meek’s Tuesday night social media rant. Oh, and Meek? Please don’t worry about people comparing you to Drake, you’re about 10 hit songs and one teen soap opera away from being in any danger of that comparison.

Shhh, Donald


Donald Trump, can’t stop taking bold stances, like insulting one of the country’s most beloved politicians and war he- roes, Arizona Sen. John McCain. And now he’s giving out other candidate’s phone numbers during campaign events. Can one heroic sound technician just turn off Trump’s microphone for his own good?

Come thru, CUAB

UNC grad Russell VanZomeren tweeted at CUAB that if his post got 100 retweets, CUAB should include R. Kelly’s “Trapped in the Closet"series to the set of free movies screened at the Student Union for the coming year. As of press time, his tweet has 106 RT’s. CUAB, we know you never agreed to this challenge, but come through.

Paranormal Desk


Nearly every day more photos from the “X-Files” revival appear, which is great news for The Daily Tar Heel’s most spooky department — the Paranormal Investigations Team. While the show was off the air, they’ve continued Mulder and Scully’s quest for the truth via requests to UNC’s public records office.
