Before his untimely death earlier this year, Brooklyn drill rapper Pop Smoke had become a highly-sought feature for rappers who wanted to get in on the ground floor of his seemingly inevitable rise to stardom. Fortunately, he was able to collaborate with at least a few of them before he passed, including Atlanta trap rap favorite Gunna, whose new album Wunna has been in the pipeline for a 2020 release for a while.

During a recent livestream on Instagram with his fans, Gunna decided to preview a few songs from Wunna, including his collaboration with Pop Smoke. Unfortunately for fans, he cuts the song off before revealing too much of the track, but it finds Pop crooning on the chorus, an atypical sound for the usually gruff 20-year-old. Take a listen below.

Gunna himself has become an in-demand guest for much of the rap game as well. Within the last few months, he’s appeared on tracks with Young Thug (“Quarantine Clean“), Nav (“Turks” with Travis Scott), and Lil Uzi Vert on the feature-filled Luv Vs. The World 2. He also dipped his toe into the drill sound with former Pop Smoke rival Casanova on the latter’s “So Drippy” before kicking off his own album’s promo campaign with “Skybox.”

When Florida declared pro wrestling an essential business, whether that had anything to do with Linda McMahon’s promise to pump money into the economy there or not, it meant that companies besides WWE would be able to go back to work there. Now it looks like AEW is planning to take advantage of that opportunity.

Dave Meltzer at the Wrestling Observer reports that on May 6, All Elite Wrestling plans to resume shows at Daily’s Place in Jacksonville, Florida. There will be no crowds, obviously, but according to Sean Ross Stapp at Fightful.com, AEW has confirmed that the plan is to do the shows live.

The AEW roster, including World Champion Jon Moxley, has been sheltering at home since The first week of April, when they pretaped a whole bunch of episodes at QT Marshall’s gym in Norcross, GA. At the time, the word was that those pre-recorded episodes would get them all the way to Double Or Nothing on May 23. As for that show, it doesn’t currently have an announced venue, even though AEW says it will still run as a PPV despite the originally planned venue cancelling.

Now it sounds like they’ll have new live episodes on TV in time for an updated build to whatever Double Or Nothing is going to be. According to Meltzer, some members of the AEW roster are already in quarantine in anticipation of the new shows, including those from California and New York who weren’t brought in for the previous tapings. That means we might see SCU, the Young Bucks, Private Party, and Kris Statlander, among others, for the first time in a while.

Famed video game designer Hideo Kojima — the mastermind behind the Metal Gear series — has linked up with Munich-based streetwear brand ACRONYM for a special iteration of their J1A-GT jacket that resembles the jacket worn by Norman Reedus’ character Sam Bridges from November’s divisive Death Standing video game. Dubbed the “Bridges Variant,” the design builds off of ACRONYM’s J1A-GTKP and features a dark blue GORE-TEX base, equipped with a yellow overlay pocket meant to replicate the “Bridge Baby” carried around by Sam throughout the duration of the game.

Death Standing, if you’re unaware, is a game about carrying boxes and a weird tube baby across a post-apocalyptic United States that you traverse using ladders and walking fairly slowly. Granted, that’s a superficial way of describing the gameplay of Death Stranding but anyone who has sunk in a considerable amount of time playing the game will describe the gameplay to you in the exact same way. Video games have gotten weird, fam.

You could brush this off as a novelty collaboration, but ACRONYM didn’t cut any corners here. Aside from the tough GORE-TEX base, the Bridges Variant features an overlap zip-funnel hood, an aux pocket, and other weather-resistant accents making for a faithfully functional recreation of Sam’s iconic jacket.

The ACRONYM Bridges Variant is available now exclusively via the Kojima Productions webstore after selling out almost instantly on ACRONYM’s website.

It may look like a scene from an aquatic version of Avatar, but it’s 100% real. In surreal footage taken this week off the coast of Newport Beach, dolphins glow bright blue as they swim through the nighttime waters of the Pacific—a natural bioluminescence phenomenon that never fails to amaze.

The dolphins themselves aren’t glowing. Rather, tiny bioluminescent phytoplankton light up the water around them when they are disturbed—hence the blue water in the boat’s wake as well. But the effect is totally magical.

Bioluminescence is caused by an algae bloom, commonly referred to as red ride. The glowing waters are a fairly rare phenomenon in Southern California, and Newport Coastal Adventures says the bioluminescence they’re seeing right now is the highest its been in years.

What a stunning reminder of just how unbelievably beautiful our world can be.

Before the COVID-19 pandemic hit America, one in seven children faced some form of food insecurity. But those numbers have to be much higher now given the economic impact caused by the virus.

No Kid Hungry, a national campaign run by Share Our Strength, a nonprofit working to solve problems of hunger and poverty, has made it easier for parents to provide meals for their children during the pandemic.

It’s created an interactive map where people can input their address to find places near them that are serving up free meals to children.

“During this time of crisis, many families are facing hardship. Finding places where they can get food assistance quickly and easily is more critical than ever, as it means kids can get the school meals they rely on, even while schools are closed,” said Jason Wilson, Managing Director of Brand and Marketing, No Kid Hungry.

Find a free meal for a child here.

The map is updated on a daily basis, but No Kid Hungry suggests people call any of the listed organizations ahead of time to make sure the information is current.

Jimmy Kimmel looked different on Thursday night because his daughter was in charge of wardrobe and makeup, and yes, 2020 is taking some unexpected turns. On a related subject, the host rustled up Arnold Schwarzenegger (who brought his pony and donkey on camera again, because why not) as a guest to discuss pandemic relief. Shortly after the 7:00 minute mark, things got a little rowdier when fellow guest Edward Norton, who has known Arnold for decades, broke down the first meeting between the two actors. It didn’t go too well for Edward, as he recounts, but the two recovered nicely.

As Norton explains, he met Arnold at a bar during a wedding reception prior to beginning production on 1998’s American History X. The future star of 2008’s The Incredible Hulk felt confident enough about discussing his workout plans at that point, but then Arnold good-naturedly cut him down:

“Arnold said, ‘You look good, You look trim,’ and I said, ‘I am actually trying to put on some size, so maybe you could give me some advice.’ And he asked me to breakdown my workout. So I was pretty proud, I was slinging a lot of steel back then. I told him my whole workout and he goes, ‘That’s pretty good. And you’re doing two a day?’ And I say, ‘No, just once a day’ and he goes ‘Well, that’s pretty p*ssy, Ed.’”

Arnold calls it like he sees it, alright. Again, things turned out well for the pair, and according to Hollywood Reporter, their new joint endeavor, the Frontline Responders Fund, has raised over $7.3 million to date. The organization is aimed at supplying personal protective equipment for first responders throughout this pandemic. Learn more about the fund in the above video, and of course, please enjoy the pony.
