News you may have missed! (7/3/20)
Sad Summer announces 2021 dates, new 'Hella Mega Tour' announced, Spotify has a new plan just for couples and much more!
Happy Friday, everyone! For many of us, this is a short week as we head into the holiday weekend. This coming Independence Day really has me really reflecting on where we are as a country. I’m hopeful in some ways, but in other ways I’m terrified. I’m really happy to see the Black Lives Matter movement still going on and people of all colors and backgrounds supporting it. That part makes me hopeful. But then this damn virus going around is terrifying. The most terrifying part is people not taking it seriously. This is an actual thing. It’s not made up. We all need to just listen to the scientists and experts on this one — the people who dedicate their lives and careers to this. In other words, just wear a fucking mask.
With that said, I hope everyone has an awesome 4th of July weekend. I hope you get the chance to see some fireworks wherever you are (while social distancing of course :))
You came for the news. So I’ll give it to you.
