“I’m a very sensitive person… but this Mac Miller shit got me fucked up,” Glover said on stage, as per Rolling Stone.
“He was the sweetest guy, he was so nice. And we were both, you know, kind of internet music kids, because, you know, we came up on the internet, and a lot of critics were like, ‘This corny-ass white dude,’ just like they were like, ‘This corny-ass black dude,’ and we used to talk. And this kid, he just loved music.
“And we should be allowed to be sad about that. Like my heart was broken… and I feel good about being sad, because it tells me that he was special, that I had a special moment… Everybody deserves that, everybody in this room.”
According to the publisher, Glover dedicated his song “Riot” to Miller.
“I just want to tell you that I love you and this song is for him, because I feel like sometimes he wanted to let go,” he said.
Miller, whose real name is Malcolm McCormick, passed away on Sunday, with reports attributing his death to a drug overdose, including TMZ. Miller’s family confirmed his death in a statement published by Rolling Stone, but did not reveal any details about his cause of death.
“He was a bright light in this world for his family, friends and fans. Thank you for your prayers. Please respect our privacy. There are no further details as to the cause of his death at this time,” the statement read.
Fellow artists like Chance the Rapper, Ed Sheeran, and Solange Knowles also paid their respects to Miller, posting tributes on social media.
There has been significant media attention placed on Miller’s ex-partner Ariana Grande, following the rapper’s death.
The pair dated from 2016 until mid-2018. Grande posted a single photo on Instagram on Saturday, with no caption. Now leave her alone.
Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers suffered a knee injury during Sunday’s season-opening game against the Chicago Bears and was carted off the field, per Adam Jahns of the Chicago Sun-Times, but he returned to the field on his team’s first possession of the second half.
His return came after Green Bay announced he was questionable to return with the knee setback despite being carted off.
It looked as if the Packers would be forced to play without Rodgers again following this setback after their postseason chances last year were torpedoed by the broken collarbone he suffered against the Minnesota Vikings.
Green Bay struggled to find ways to win with Brett Hundley under center, which was no surprise considering it was a nearly impossible task to replicate one of the best quarterbacks in recent league history.
Rodgers is a two-time league MVP, six-time Pro Bowler and two-time All-Pro with six seasons of more than 4,000 passing yards on his resume, including 2016 when he tallied 4,428 to go with 40 touchdown throws and just seven interceptions.
The Packers won’t be able to turn toward Hundley again after he was traded to the Seattle Seahawks in August. But they do now have DeShone Kizer, who was acquired from the Cleveland Browns via trade this past offseason, if Rodgers isn’t able to go again in the future.
Following numerous sexual harassment allegations against Les Moonves, the CBS head will step down from the company “effective immediately.”
On Sunday, CBS announced it had reached a settlement with Moonves, a 24-year veteran of the company, and that he and CBS will donate $20 million to organizations that support the #MeToo movement.
The donation will be deducted from severance benefits which may be due to Moonves, and any payments made in future will be dependent on results of a third-party investigation by law firms Covington & Burling and Debevoise & Plimpton.
CBS’ announcement comes after six more women accused Moonves of misconduct between the 1980s and the early-2000s, according to a report by The New Yorker’s Ronan Farrow.
As with earlier allegations, the women in the latest batch of accusations say their careers have suffered as a result of rejecting Moonves’ advances.
Veteran TV executive Phyllis Golden-Gottlieb told Farrow she filed a complaint of sexual assault to the Los Angeles Police Department last year, but although law enforcement sources considered her allegations “credible and consistent … prosecutors declined to pursue charges because the statutes of limitations for the crimes had expired.”
“He absolutely ruined my career,” she told Farrow. Moonves denied the accusations in a statement.
“The appalling accusations in this article are untrue. What is true is that I had consensual relations with three of the women some 25 years ago before I came to CBS. And I have never used my position to hinder the advancement or careers of women,” the statement to The New Yorker read.
“In my 40 years of work, I have never before heard of such disturbing accusations. I can only surmise they are surfacing now for the first time, decades later, as part of a concerted effort by others to destroy my name, my reputation, and my career. Anyone who knows me knows that the person described in this article is not me.”
In a statement to Mashable via email, the Time’s Up movement against systemic sexual abuse in Hollywood and other industries, said these allegations “speak to a culture of toxic complicity at CBS, where the safety of women was continuously ignored to protect the careers of powerful men and the corporation.”
“The CBS Board of Directors has an obligation to move swiftly and decisively to create a safe work environment for all and rid the company of this toxic culture.”

A scoreless first half from the Dallas Cowboys had fans missing Dez Bryant, but the receiver is apparently not interested. Instead, he discussed joining the New England Patriots or Washington Redskins on Sunday:
Dez Bryant @DezBryant
Naw I’m ok.. I rather go somewhere I can show case my skills for real.. if I line up next to Gronk hogan Edelman I’m for sure getting a 1 on 1 match up plus I won’t be getting criticized controlled for expressing my love for the game..Washington is cool as well https://t.co/lywVw8QzIa
Bryant was released by the Cowboys in April and remains a free agent beyond the start of the regular season, although he has promised he will be on the field at some point in 2018.
“I will play ball this year just might be a lil bit later in the year,” he tweeted last month.
While his complaints about the Cowboys remain interesting, his interest in joining the Patriots holds more importance going forward.
With Julian Edelman currently serving a four-game suspension, New England is extremely thin at receiver with few proven players. Phillip Dorsett was the only receiver to have more than one catch in Sunday’s 27-20 win over the Houston Texans, finishing with seven receptions for 66 yards and a touchdown.
Chris Hogan and Cordarrelle Patterson each had one catch while the rest of the looks went to tight ends and running backs.
Adding an impact player like Bryant could provide quarterback Tom Brady with another elite weapon to take some pressure off Rob Gronkowski.
Meanwhile, the Redskins could also use some wideout help with Josh Doctson, Jamison Crowder and Paul Richardson all hoping to step into the spotlight after being secondary options in the past.
The Cleveland Browns are also reportedly in the hunt and could sign him after Week 1, perMary Kay Cabotof Cleveland.com. He visited the team last week but the squad already has Jarvis Landry and Josh Gordon the roster.
Although Bryant is coming off a down year, he is a three-time Pro Bowler who can still make a difference for a team’s passing game at some point this season.
Leading Republicans took issue with the former president’s scathing speech, but none disputed that Trump has threatened core American institutions.
Two days in, lots of prominent Republicans have complained about Barack Obama’s speech on Friday calling Donald Trump’s presidency a betrayal of America and a threat to its core — but they haven’t said he’s wrong.
Most prominent on that list is Trump himself, who, for a man his aides have often held up as someone who punches back, has so far said less to attack Obama than he has previously about the FBI, Steve Bannon, LeBron James or pretty much anyone else.
Story Continued Below
Even the president’s Twitter feed has been relatively quiet, despite rainy days in Washington keeping him off the golf course. He retweeted his social media director Dan Scavino’s post of a video Obama made during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel’s show a few weeks before the 2016 election, sneering that Trump would never be president. He quoted former Rep. Jason Chaffetz on Fox News saying that Obama (initially misspelling the first name as “Barrack”) had never delivered on the economy like this White House. But since then, Trump has wandered off onto other topics.
Vice President Mike Pence called it “very disappointing” that Obama broke with the recent presidential tradition of not criticizing successors, and in an interview on Fox News on Sunday he scoffed at “the same tired arguments that he and liberals have made over the last eight years” — though he was presumably referring to the last 10 years, since Obama’s first campaign. “The truth is, the American people in 2016 rejected the policy and direction of Barack Obama when they elected President Donald Trump,” Pence said.
Much of Obama’s speech, which launched his campaigning for the midterm elections, was a condemnation of attacking American institutions, journalists, the Justice Department and decades of global leadership while refusing to condemn Nazis or dishonesty. Neither Pence nor other leading Republicans disputed that these are hallmarks of Trump’s presidency.
“What President Trump provides for this country every day is strong and decisive leadership in the Oval Office,” Pence said, in another pre-taped appearance on CBS’ “Face the Nation. “The truth is, I think President Donald Trump is the most accomplished president of my lifetime and I think already one of the most successful presidents in American history.”
Many Republicans landed on similar responses — that Obama should remember that he lost and Trump won, that he should think about how he created the backlash that led to that win, and that his own record was full of much of what he was complaining about now.
Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, who has struggled since the 2016 GOP primaries to distance himself from Trump while also knocking Democrats, woke up on Saturday after the speech with seven tweets trying to thread the needle of that argument. According to one of them:
“Pres. Obama is right. It is wrong for a President to use divisive language, such as: 1. Call all opponents of same-sex marriage bigots 2. Call the Pro-Life movement a ‘War on Women’ 3. Call all immigration enforcement advocates racists 4. Call the GOP the enemy of Hispanics.”
Trump isn’t right, Rubio appeared to be suggesting, but neither was Obama. He quoted the former president’s making fun of Nancy Reagan and defending his heavy use of executive orders instead of legislation, and pointed to Obama’s dismissive attitude toward critics of his policies on immigration and the Iran deal.
A pox on both their houses and everyone else, according to Rubio.
“We should ALL, the Dems, the GOP, the media, admit our role in turning politics into theatre,” Rubio tweeted. “Being outrageous equals clicks, viewers & therefore ratings & $ for media & fame for politicians. Being normal gets you ignored & a primary challenger for being ‘too weak.’” Rubio won his Senate seat in 2010 by running a tea party challenge to Charlie Crist, Florida’s Republican governor at the time.
Former Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey, a Trump ally, made the same argument, not defending the president but condemning Obama along with him.
“I find it richly ironic that he talks about the fact Trump is a symptom, not the cause,” Christie said on ABC’s “This Week,” centering on one of the key lines from Friday’s speech. “If he’s right and Donald Trump is the symptom of a cause, well, Donald Trump got elected in 2016 after eight years of Barack Obama as president. He can’t detach himself.”
Christie said nothing, however, to dispute the broader point that Trump is an avatar of a politics that’s gone wrong.
Trump himself on Friday appeared to be most upset by Obama’s asserting that he should be given the credit for today’s strong economy, since the upturn that Trump is enjoying started years before he was elected.
Pence didn’t dispute the numbers. He disputed the perception of the numbers.
“I know he said that, but I don’t think too many Americans noticed it,” Pence told CBS’ Margaret Brennan when asked about the claim.
Obama’s focus on Trump’s attacks on journalists provided the most openings for calls of hypocrisy.
He said that “it shouldn’t be Democratic or Republican to say that we don’t threaten the freedom of the press because they say things or publish stories we don’t like. I complained plenty about Fox News, but you never heard me threaten to shut them down, or call them enemies of the people.”
He left out, however, that his administration prosecuted reporters as part of leak investigations, and that he himself regularly ducked the press. Even during his stop at a café in Urbana, Illinois, after the speech he looked at one reporter and said, “Hey — I’m not going to answer any questions.” And when another asked whether he was enjoying being back on the trail, he responded with a pat on the arm and shaking his head about engaging.
Obama’s approach to the meda was the only part of his speech that Kellyanne Conway, Trump’s counselor and reliable bulldozing defender, pushed back on in her appearance on CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday. “You know that President Obama was investigating journalists,” she told Jake Tapper.
The main theme running through Republican responses to Obama’s return is excitement to have him to run against again, given how much damage Trump’s presidency has done to the GOP’s efforts to hold on to power in the fall.
“Obama demonstrating once again that his chief priority is Obama, not the success of the Democratic Party,” tweeted Ben Shapiro, a conservative radio host and The Daily Wire’s editor-in-chief. “If he cared at all about his party, he’d shut up and go away. Now he’s uniting Republicans against him.”
That earned agreement from Ari Fleischer, former press secretary for President George W. Bush: “If Obama knows what’s good for Republicans, he’ll retake the field and be highly visible this fall.”
And, some Republicans argued, that’ll also be good news for Trump himself.
“The more President @BarackObama speaks about the ‘good ole years’ of his presidency, the more likely President @realDonaldTrump is to get re-elected,” tweeted Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, who used to call Trump crazy and dangerous and now condemns anyone who calls the president as crazy and dangerous. “In fact, the best explanation of President Trump’s victory are the ‘results’ of the Obama Presidency! The Obama years were dominated by higher taxes, slower growth, big government, a broken military, and a pathetically weak foreign policy. The voters found in Hillary Clinton more of the same. They wanted a better way.”
Out of all of Elon Musk’s ventures, the Boring Company is undoubtedly the most WTF.
For instance, the tunneling company may be best known for its Not-a-Flamethrower, the barely legal $600 flame-spewing gadget with Dr. Seuss-inspired terms and conditions.
Even Musk himself recently admitted that “the flamethrower was a terrible idea,” and that “I’m not saying the Boring Company will succeed.”
So it shouldn’t come as that much of a surprise that the company doesn’t take other aspects of its business too seriously either. Like its machines, some of which are apparently controlled with actual Xbox controllers.
The company posted a video Saturday showing exactly that: a large piece of tunneling machinery being guided by an Xbox controller.
Whether or not this is the company’s usual setup is unclear. It could simply be an experiment, or it could be the real deal. And while we’re highly skeptical of the company claim that it’s the “best video game ever,” the Xbox controller seems to be more than up for the task.
Sure, there are probably loads of other complex controllers that are specifically designed to operate heavy, industrial machinery. But why even bother if you could just pick up your old Xbox controller and pretend you’re playing a very loud, very monotonous, video game?
