Twitter Is Already Backtracking After Its Big New Layout Change Annoyed… Everyone

Well, Twitter‘s timeline experiment was fun while it lasted.

Wait. No, it wasn’t.

Twitter’s decision to switch from a default chronological timeline to an algorithmically-handpicked “Home” feed that shows suggested tweets was an unmitigated disaster. It was called one of Twitter’s “worst product decisions in a while,” and led to headlines like, “Twitter just made a big change to our timelines, and I hate it.” Save it for Truth Social.

As the Verge wrote:

Some users shared criticism of the change almost immediately after its March 10th announcement, as the Latest feed is preferred to the Home feed for many. The out-of-sequence Home feed can, at times, be confusing, especially for people who use Twitter for updates during a breaking news event like the war in Ukraine.

The change was so unpopular that Twitter has already abandoned the feature after less than a week. “We heard you –– some of you always want to see latest Tweets first. We’ve switched the timeline back and removed the tabbed experience for now while we explore other options,” the Twitter Supports account tweeted on Monday. Here’s an idea: explore an option that isn’t this option. I don’t know what kind of monster wants to see “top” tweets instead of the latest tweets, and frankly, I don’t want to. I’m not the only one.

The silver lining is that it made this tweet from 2016 relevant once again.

Never a bad day for florps.

What In The World Is Happening With Jeff Garlin’s Character On ‘The Goldbergs’ In This Scene?

Following Jeff Garlin‘s exit from The Goldbergs after a series of on-set misconduct allegations came to light, the producers addressed fan concerns by revealing that Garlin’s absence would be handled through creative use of his stand-in, previously unused footage, and a little bit of CGI wizardry. However, the production wanted to make it clear at the time that it would not use deep fake technology, but it does admit that it has dabbled with face-swapping in the past. Via Variety:

While there could be a number of options for the creative team to address the situation, Variety has learned that the plan for now is that Garlin will indeed appear in the rest of the season — by using off-camera dialogue pulled from earlier episodes and unused takes, as well as previously shot images of Garlin. There won’t be deep fake images, nor any face replacement: But Garlin will continue to appear in some form for now, which means the actor will continue to be paid, even though he technically won’t be working.

Now, that report was from December. Whether the production held firm on not using fake replacement is up for debate, because here’s a look at the final product posted by journalist Noel Murray, and it’s pretty bad.

“They should either cancel The Goldbergs or kill off Jeff Garlin’s character because the workarounds they’ve been using this season ain’t working,” Murray tweeted along with a scene that shows Garlin on the opposite side of the room with no other characters around him, horrifyingly inserted into shots like a wax statue, or just cut off from the shoulders up to hide the use of a stand-in. It’s… not great.

As the clip went viral, naturally, people had some thoughts about this unholy monstrosity:

A Chef Created A Decadent ‘Russell Brand Burger,’ And There’s Much Debate On What It Means

Russell Brand’s been on, to put it mildly, quite an Internet journey these days. The former MTV VJ-turned actor and podcaster still maintains a comedic bent, but his previously apparent left-leaning points of view (and anti-Fox News views) have, well, fallen by the wayside with apparent far-right-leaning, conspiracy-laden rants taking over, all after he hopped aboard with Matthew McConaughey’s POV about not ridiculing people who deny the outcome of the 2020 presidential election.

The aforementioned Brand rants generally land on his his YouTube channel with titles like “Vaccine Mandates: An ASSAULT On Your Bodily,” and “SHOCKING Wuhan Evidence: Did Fauci LIE?” There’s some Kremlin propaganda there about the 2016 election, too, along with him supporting antivaxxer truckers, and it’s generally messy stuff. Perhaps that’s why this hamburger photo is leading to strange places.

Chef Andrew Gruel, who apparently created this concoction, is an executive chef who’s appeared on Food Network as a judge. He’s also founded a number of restaurants, including Slapfish, Big Parm, and Two Birds. He provided no immediate context for the naming of this burger, if that is, indeed, all that this photo represents. And somehow, this has led to a lot of speculation on the purported naming of the meal-and-a-half. Is this because, by chance, “That sassy British drippage is real”?

The burger, while possibly tasty (I haven’t eaten meat since age 20, so I’d never be able to say), does look rather heavy. And that’s led some people to wonder if it’s intentionally “Full of sh*t” or “Common Sense.”

Actually, Gruel weighed in on the former option, writing, “@Lady_DeirdreM I think your comment may have changed the world.”

Of course, there’s no way to tell what the tone of Gruel’s reply was. Surely, this was said in jest, but there’s not telling where the humor was aimed without more elaboration. And maybe we don’t want elaboration? It’s a decadent sammich. And a joke about Brand’s Forgetting Sarah Marshall serenade is a followup diversion.

Basically, there’s no consensus here, but “a burger with a lot to say” and “a hot mess” also surfaced as possibilities.

Is there anything vaguely political about this burger? One user asked if “there’s blue in that burger,” which is perhaps an on-the-face question about the color blue (and not intended to read into anything about affiliation) but nonetheless something to consider.

Then there’s an unavoidable factoid: Brand is a self-described vegan, which adds a whole other layer of possible analysis. This is getting out of hand.

In the end, this is a whole lot of overthinking about, you know, a burger. So, here are some veggies from Chef Gruel. Yum.

Normani Bares All In A New Photo While Explaining The Inspiration Behind Her New Single

The last time Normani released new music, it was a recharged version of “Wild Side” remixed by Kaytranada this past November. It gave new dance floor energy to the track which features Cardi B on the original version. And now since the new year arrived, Normani has been teasing the heck out of her next single, “Fair,” as she gears up for the eventual release of her debut album.

She’s called the track “genre-bending” and given us previews of her singing it a cappella and listening to it in her car stereo. Today, she just shared a beautifully-styled photo of her lying naked on a couch, and explained the inspiration behind the track in the Instagram caption:

“this song really captures me in one of my most vulnerable moments. sharing this record makes me uncomfortable because you have never really seen me in this light. definitely aware that you might feel like you don’t know much about me but that’s only because it’s what makes me feel protected. i am really forcing myself to let go here. this is huge for me and hopefully this piece of art resonates. love is beautiful yet so soooo terrifying 🖤 i adore you guys to the moon and back. ohhhh and believe me the uptempo shit is coming lmaooo”

As if she couldn’t stoke the fire of “Fair” anymore, she also shared the cover art for the song, which is set to arrive on Friday and will surely raise the stakes for her album.

Cardi B is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Matta’s Story

“My name is Matta Nandrakwang, I was born and raised in Chiang Rai, the northernmost province in Thailand next to the border with Myanmar (Burma). I grew up appreciating this naturally beautiful area, home to rich and diverse cultures as well as many ancient ethnic tribes. Since the area is rich with gems and the main activity was their trade, I began to learn and develop a passion for the various gemstones. Ever since I was a young girl, I have been enamored with the hill tribe people’s love of jewelry. I realized I had much to learn and decided to enroll in gemology school. There I learned all about gems and jewelry making.” – Matta

Thatsanee and Ramphan‘s Story

Thatsanee was born in Sankamphang, a land of beautiful and attractive handicrafts, celadon items chief among them. “I worked in a bank for quite a few years but the office work prevented me from admiring the beauty of my area’s handicrafts. The advantage of working in the bank was that I could access funding resources. I got some small capital to be able to start up a little celadon kiln and workshop along with my partner, Kanda. Working with celadon was a dream of mine, and being able to focus my life in this special traditional craft of Thailand brought deep meaning to me. Soon after, I was joined by Ramphan Khumsingkaew, an extraordinary painter, and we all helped to form the base of our small team many years ago.” – Thatsanee

“Dearest clients, we are artists in the celadon ceramic tradition, one of the three main ceramic styles in Thailand that dates back many hundreds of years. The traditional green tones of the glaze are intended to bring to mind the tonal qualities of jade.” – Ramphan

Arti Sharma’s Story

“While working as a business professional, I’ve always had a deep passion for social causes, especially helping the less fortunate. I met a number of artisans and learned about their lives and how they were living. They created beautiful crafts by hand from materials like wood, cloth and threads, which I thought was phenomenal. What really moved me was that, even though this art is world-famous, the artisans were paid so little. They were earning almost nothing and yet had to make do with it to pay for rent, food, education, daily expenses and more. I decided to use my marketing experience to help these artisans market their crafts and assist them in earning what they deserve. I want all artisans to earn a fair livelihood so they can have happy and healthy lives. This is also the sole reason of why I left my previous job to start out on my own. Our artisans should earn what their work is worth, and it is my mission to help make this happen.” – Arti Sharma

Alaya Cholprasertsuk’s Story

“We have been living in a small rural village for three years. Here I wanted to do something that I loved and to feel free. One day I got the opportunity to learn the process of batik and kept practicing at home afterwards. I thought it was fantastic because I could create anything on the cloth with a free mind. I would go for a walk near my home and look around; I would look at things that impressed my mind and feelings and think about them. Once back home, I would use this inspiration and get down to work with concentration and patience. At first I could not really sell anything until I joined an artistic fair where I used my husband’s company stand to display my work on its walls. Unbelievably, I could sell. What really made me happy was to know that people I didn’t know bought my work because they loved it, and not only to please me or out of friendship. It encouraged me to continue, which was a good thing since some shops later placed orders. This craft is my pride and my life and I think I have found my way.” – Alaya Cholprasertsuk

Alaya is a parent to Kann, an energetic, autistic 16-year-old boy. She has divine patience and grace, and these traits are beautifully exemplified in her life as an artisan, a Thai batik designer, producer and mother. She and her husband are partners in the business that provide for Kann through their artistic work.

Rita Addo’s Story

“I am a designer by profession. I do my designing with African concepts in mind. Growing up, I loved to sketch things on paper. It was a natural talent, I guess. The carvers who collaborate with me use traditional tools. As the demand grows, I’m able to give work to more carvers, which generates more income for them and their families. It is possible one or two carvers who show a keen interest can make a career out of this. The workshop also provides local women with a constant supply of wood scraps for cooking. With the sale of my jewelry, women in the neighborhood who enjoy stringing beads also get to earn some money when there is an increase in demand. We use mainly wood, recycled aluminum sheets and recycled plastic beads.” – Rita Addo

Kim Kardashian Wants Kanye West To ‘Stop The Narrative’ That He’s Not Allowed To See Their Kids

Kim Kardashian appears to be fed up with her ex-husband Kanye West’s ongoing campaign to force a reunion by using their kids as leverage. Although Kanye seems to be unhappy about their current co-parenting arrangement, he’s still been active and involved, but in recent months he’s gone as far as claiming Kardashian won’t let him see the children, tried to ban him from Chicago’s birthday party, and wouldn’t allow them to attend his most recent Sunday Service.

It looks like Kim is done being a scapegoat according to her reply in the comments on his recent post. After Kanye posted a photo of a trio of pins stuck to their daughter North’s backpack with the caption “This was on my daughters back pack when I was ‘allowed’ to see her last week,” Kardashian pushed back against Kanye’s insistence that he’s being kept out of his kids’ lives. In a screenshot taken by Complex, she asks Kanye, “Please stop with this narrative, you were just here this morning picking up the kids for school.”

Kanye has previously expressed his discontent with the parenting arrangement, chastising his ex for managing a TikTok account for North against his wishes. However, as his kids get older, he may have to come to terms with the fact that they’re their own people and won’t always do things he wants. Also, free advice: trying to interpret your 10-year-old’s fashion sense is a great way to get extremely confused incredibly quickly. Maybe she just like aliens.

All The Brands From The Jameson ‘Family’ Of Irish Whiskeys, Ranked

Jameson Irish Whiskey is one of the most popular whiskeys in the world and it’s easy to see why. Not only is the triple-distilled blended juice from Ireland one of the easiest-drinking whiskeys out there, it’s available damn near everywhere for a pretty good price. But Jameson isn’t a monolith. It’s part of Irish Distillers (owned by Pernod Ricard) and distilled at Midleton Distillery down in County Cork, Ireland, along with a whole bunch of other whiskeys.

That means Jameson has an “Irish Whiskey Family” (their terminology, not ours) of other brands echoing the beauty of Jameson. Just like with Jim Beam or Buffalo Trace, Jameson is just one shingle among several, all coming off the same stills and out of the same warehouses.

Today, we’re going to rank the six other brands in the Jameson Irish Whiskey Family from Midleton. I’m also going into my tasting notes to call out the one bottle you should try this St. Patrick’s Day from each brand. It’s worth noting that I did lean away from ridiculously rare expressions from the brands (I’m not trying to get you to spend more than a few hundred bucks a pop)… with one notable exception at the end.

Ready? Let’s dive in!

6. Method & Madness — Method & Madness Single Grain

Pernod Ricard

ABV: 46%

Average Price: $70

The Whiskey:

This is Midleton’s craft whiskey venture — they built a stand-alone craft distillery in the middle of the campus for this whiskey. The single grain spirit is matured in unused Spanish oak and old bourbon casks. That’s then small-batched and proofed with that soft County Cork water and bottled in a throwback art-deco bottle.

Tasting Notes:

This opens with dry pencil shavings leading towards dry pine boxes, potpourri, and a hint of grapefruit pith. The taste is driven by cinnamon bark and clove berries, with a pink eraser vibe next to soft vanilla beans. That vanilla moves the mid-palate towards a finish full of ripe figs, light spice, and sweet potting soil.

Bottom Line:

This is the oddest whiskey on this list. I dig it because of that but I can 100 percent see this not being a lot of whiskey drinkers’ jam. These huge swings they take and what make Method & Madness so cool as a brand. That alone is worth checking out, at the very least for something new and different from the norm.

The Ranking:

The biggest outlier on the list is a good place to start. This brand is new and can still be really hit and miss, especially if you’re looking for a classic Irish whiskey experience. That said, if we were strictly looking at unique and innovative whiskeys, this would be the furthest from last. But that’s not why we’re here today.

5. Jameson — Jameson Black Barrel

Pernod Ricard

ABV: 40%

Average Price: $41

The Whiskey:

This is Jameson’s take on double barreling. The whiskey is first matured in old bourbon barrels. That juice is then transferred to another bourbon barrel that’s been doubly charred with a deep alligator skin char. Those barrels are batched and proofed all the way down to 80 proof.

Tasting Notes:

Vanilla-laced toffee candies open the nose with dark chocolate, old leather, and raw sage. The palate is plummy, with plenty of holiday spice, almonds, cedar, and a thin layer of florals. The end is creamy vanilla pudding speckled with almonds and drizzled with caramel sauce with a soft landing.

Bottom Line:

This is a solid cocktail whiskey. The ABVs may be low but the flavor notes really stand up to mixing. It’s also a nice step up from the average Jameson we all know.

The Ranking:

While Jameson might be the most popular brand by name recognition, this is very entry-level whiskey. You’re really looking at a mixing whiskey at the end of the day, even with a heightened expression like this one.

4. Powers — Powers John’s Lane

Pernod Ricard

ABV: 46%

Average Price: $72

The Whiskey:

This is a classic Irish whiskey. The juice is aged in a combination of ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks for at least 12 years. Those barrels are then married based on their distinct flavor profiles to create this special whiskey.

Tasting Notes:

Raw leather, soft vanilla, mild spice, and light milk chocolate greet you on the nose. The palate has a malty vanilla cake foundation with malty spice and fruity candy sweetness. Chocolate pudding arrives on the mid-palate and drives the back end of the taste towards wet grains, nutty fruit cake, and a hint of wintry spice.

Bottom Line:

This is where we start to get into sipping territory. This is really easy-drinking, either on the rocks or in a simple highball with some fizzy water.

The Ranking:

Powers is where Midleton starts to hit “high-end” pours. This stuff has a level of refinement that puts it just above your average Jameson but not quite as bespoke as the next few entries. In short, Powers is a solid bridge between the mixers and the “good” stuff.

3. Spot — Red Spot

Pernod Ricard

ABV: 46%

Average Price: $154

The Whiskey:

This is a high-water mark of Irish whiskey distilling and blending. The whiskey is aged for 15 years in a combination of ex-bourbon, ex-sherry, and ex-Marsala casks. The spirit is then married and proofed down to a very approachable 92 proof.

Tasting Notes:

Apple pie and Amarena cherries with a bit of stem drive the nose with old leather and nutty Christmas cake. Those nuts and holiday vibes carry on through the taste as layers of apple peels, cherry bark, black pepper, and soft cedar planks settle into the finish. That finish fades slowly and gently through the dark spices, hints of dark cacao, cherry tobacco, and nuts.

Bottom Line:

This and Redbreast could have been tied for second place. This works so well as an easy sipper. Add a rock or drop of water to let it bloom in the glass. Alternatively, this makes a killer Manhattan thanks to all those holiday vibes.

The Ranking:

This is the high-end. The Spot line of Irish whiskeys are super refined and meant to wow, and this delivers. All of that aside, these are a little harder to find and don’t quite hit the highs of the next entry on the list although being strikingly similar.

2. Redbreast — Redbreast 15

Irish Distillers

ABV: 46%

Average Price: $110

The Whiskey:

This expression utilizes classic Redbreast — triple distilling, ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks — that’s aged for 15 years before blending, proofing, and bottling. The result is one of the most accessible and delicious whiskeys around.

Tasting Notes:

Bright red berries mingle with hints of soft yet spicy woods and a hint of citrus oils on the nose. The palate calms down as the fruit becomes fairly chewy-yet-sweet (think dates and prunes) with a hint of nuttiness next to a cedar box full of spiced vanilla toffees. The whole sip combines on the end with the fruit, wood, spice, and sweetness bringing about a sip of pure velvet that lasts just the right amount of time, leaving you needing more.

Bottom Line:

I guess the only reason this edges out Red Spot is that it’s a little easier to find a tad cheaper. But I’m really grasping at straws, trying to differentiate two outstanding whiskeys. On a rock, neat, or in an old fashioned, this is never a bad choice.

The Ranking:

Redbreast is the most nuanced bottle of Irish whiskey in the Jameson Irish Whiskey Family that also happens to be very accessible — and that counts for something in an ever-narrowing whiskey market for high-end product. Overall, Redbreast, in general, is the mountaintop of Midleton when it comes to deeply hewn whiskeys that are also crowd-pleasers.

1. Midelton Vere Rare — Midleton Very Rare Vintage Release 2021

Pernod Ricard Irish Distillers

ABV: 40%

Average Price: $400

The Whiskey:

The 38th Very Rare release from Midleton is a marriage of single pot still and grain whiskeys that spent 15 to 36 years aging in ex-bourbon barrels. The barrels were specifically chosen for their very light char. Those whiskeys were masterfully vatted and then proofed down with that iconic Cork County springwater to a very accessible 80 proof.

Tasting Notes:

This opens with a clear sense of Irish grain whiskey with a deep vanilla bourbon that leads towards apple candy (think fancy Jolly Ranchers) alongside a touch of lemon pepper on the nose. The palate opens with a light grain vibe with a slightly floral note that leads towards pears stewed with saffron, very mild cinnamon, and grape-forward brandy. The fruitiness kicks up a notch as you sip again, surfacing as a sweet/tart/savory kiwi — the green flesh and white center, not the sandpaper skin. The end is soft, fruity, and slightly warming with soft vanilla tobacco that doesn’t overstay its welcome.

Bottom Line:

This is so beautifully fruity and malty while feeling truly soft and comforting. It’s a stellar pour of whiskey that’s rare, sure, but worth the price of admission for touching the mountaintop of Irish whiskey overall.

The Ranking:

While Redbreast is a crowd-pleaser with a lot of classic refinement, Midleton Very Rare is the bottle everyone in the whiskey game lusts after. These yearly releases are coveted for their rarity but also their beauty in the bottle — this is truly stellar juice. That combination is why Midleton Very Rare wins out.

Everybody (But Especially Principal Ava) Is Understandably Thrilled About ‘Abbott Elementary’ Getting A Second Season

Abbott Elementary is officially renewed for Season 2. The breakout sitcom has reportedly been putting up Modern Family numbers, which was apparently enough for ABC to sign a permission slip for another season of the series from creator Quinta Brunson. Inspired by Brunson’s sixth grade teacher, the hit show centers on a Philadelphia-based elementary school and its band of faculty and staff who keep the whole thing running despite budget cuts and demanding parents. All of this is done under the watchful and hilarious eye of breakout character Principal Ava Coleman (Janelle James) who had the honor of announcing the second season in a “From the desk of” letter that’s blowing up on Twitter.

Fans Spotted Pete Davidson’s New ‘Kim’ Tattoo In The Photo He Texted To Kanye West

Pete Davidson has made some random tattoo choices in the past. The SNL star has a “Shaolin” emblazoned across his abs and both Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Hillary Clinton profiles inked on his body. Now, it seems as though the budding astronaut can add a tribute to his girlfriend Kim Kardashian to the list.

In a recent flurry of texts that Davidson sent to Kardashian’s ex-husband Kanye West, the proverbial “shot heard round the world,” was Davidson’s photo reply to West’s “Where are you right now?” question. “In bed with your wife,” Davidson replied, with a selfie of his bare-chested self laying in bed.

https://twitter.com/wowthatshiphop/status/1503068090116018177/photo/2

Surely this image had Kanye fuming, but he might’ve been even angrier had he noticed what appears to be a new tattoo on Davidson’s right shoulder that says “KIM.” For all of the Pete Davidson tattoo enthusiasts, the placement is directly below the RBG tat and the ink looks especially dark (aka fresh) in the image.

The Davidson vs Kanye feud continues to show signs of boiling over after Kanye and The Game made another video for ‘Eazy’ where a CGI Davidson gets beat up. Davidson and Kardashian have only been dating since October of last year, but tattoo indicates that he is clearly committed to the relationship long-term, just as much as he is still committed to Hilary Clinton…

Ken Watanabe And Ansel Elgort Team Up To Fight Crime In HBO Max’s Trailer For ‘Tokyo Vice’

Baby Driver himself Ansel Elgort and Ken Watanabe are starring in HBO Max‘s upcoming series Tokyo Vice, which will begin streaming on April 7th.

The series is loosely inspired by the life and memoir of Jake Adelstein, played by Egort, an American journalist who relocated to Tokyo as a young reporter in the ’90s to cover the police beat. Adelstein quickly learns that things are not what they seem in the crime-ridden city, and it’s even harder for them to accept an American on their team.

Watanabe portrays Hiroto Katagiri, a detective in the organized crime division of the Tokyo Police Department, who becomes a mentor to Adelstein while he learns the ins and outs of organized crime. Also starring is Rinko Kikuchi, Rachel Keller, Ella Rumpf, Hideaki Ito, Show Kasamatsu, and Tomohisa Yamashita.

The pilot was shot by acclaimed Miami Vice director Michael Mann on-location in Tokyo. There will be eight episodes in total, with three episodes premiering on Thursday, April 7th, followed by two episodes debuting every Thursday leading up to the finale on April 28th. A series based on Adelstein’s memoir has been in the works for nearly a decade, and Daniel Radcliffe was initially attached to star, though that ship sailed into production hell. HBO Max then picked up the series in 2019.

Check out to trailer above.
