One of the most talented skaters jettisoned in the Lakai collapse, Simon's name has been at the tip of everyone's tongues, wondering what his next shoe sponsor will be. He's seen here wearing Asics in some clips, so we'll see if that develops into a solid deal.

Charred Remains ain't a bad name for a part. Kinda makes it sound like it was leftover clips, which for Foy, are probably still better than most pros' bangers. Don't know why Simon just got the Spitfire Part title...
Anywho, the clips do the talking, and that ender is bonkers. Nice one, Simon.

Joe Rogan gushes Hunter Biden ‘smarter than his dad' after ‘crack cocaine' interview: ‘He could be president'
Joe Rogan was no fan of former President Joe Biden, but the podcaster raved about his scandal-tarred son Hunter Biden — gushing that a bizarre interview in which he held forth about his illegal drug use showed he was 'smarter than his dad.' 'And he could be president. How about that?' Rogan said on Wednesday's episode of his 'Joe Rogan Experience' podcast after playing a clip from Biden's interview with 'Channel 5' host Andrew Callaghan. 'He could. No bulls–t. Hunter Biden, after all he'd been through, look, his dirty laundry's all out there. We all see it. He was a freak. He's smarter than his dad when his dad was young. And he was a crackhead.' Advertisement 3 Joe Rogan was no fan of former President Joe Biden, but the popular podcaster couldn't help but rave about his scandal-tarred son Hunter Biden. The Joe Rogan Experience The podcast host reacted to Biden's candid remarks about his past drug use, calling the interview 'the greatest crack advertisement of all time.' Internet users on social media were abuzz this week about Callaghan's interview with Biden during which the former president's son offered unfiltered, raw commentary about his past drug use. Advertisement 'The only difference between crack cocaine and cocaine is sodium bicarbonate, water, and heat. Literally, that's it,' Biden said. 'People think of crack as being dirty—it's the exact opposite.' He also stunned viewers by claiming alcohol—not crack—was the most destructive substance he ever used. 'Alcohol is the most destructive drug… It puts you in more danger than any other drug that I've ever experienced,' he said, revealing that at one point, he was consuming nearly an entire handle of vodka a day. 3 Rogan said that Hunter Biden 'could be president' after an interview that streamed online. YouTube / Channel 5 with Andrew Callaghan The vivid detail with which Biden spoke about drug use had viewers including Rogan opining about whether it was an advertisement for narcotics. Advertisement 'If crack wasn't terrible for you, this guy makes me want to try crack. I'm not going to. Don't do it. I'm not giving any advice, but I'm saying this guy, like legitimately this might be the best advertisement for crack of all-time,' Rogan said. 'He's a lot smarter than people give him credit for.' Every morning, the NY POSTcast offers a deep dive into the headlines with the Post's signature mix of politics, business, pop culture, true crime and everything in between. Subscribe here! Rogan credited Biden for delving into the mechanics of drug addiction, saying: 'He's talking, and one of the things he was talking about was why smoking things are so addictive, why smoking cigarettes are so addictive, and the psychology behind it.' Advertisement 'He's not dumb.' Biden was not immediately available for comment. During Biden's wide-ranging interview with Callaghan, the ex-president's son unloaded on top Democratic Party strategists and political allies for their criticism of his father. In the segment Rogan highlighted, Biden described the psychology behind smoking crack cocaine and explained why it becomes so addictive. Rogan also praised the interviewer, saying Callaghan 'nailed' the interview. Biden, a longtime target of conservative media and Trump supporters, has faced scrutiny over his business dealings, history of drug use and a criminal case stemming from a firearm purchase. The Post's 2020 exposé on Biden's abandoned laptop revealed emails and files suggesting he pursued overseas business deals by invoking his father's name, including potential links to Chinese and Ukrainian interests.

AFP via Getty Images The laptop also contained evidence of drug use and became central to federal investigations into tax fraud and a gun-related offense, as well as a flashpoint in debates over media censorship after social media platforms limited the story's distribution. While portions of the data have since been authenticated, allegations directly implicating Joe Biden remain unproven. Last year, then-President Biden announced he had pardoned his son following a conviction on federal gun charges. Hunter Biden also pleaded guilty to nine tax-related charges. Advertisement Though he has not expressed any interest in running for office, Biden's interview sparked praise from some figures on the right as well. Fox News host Jesse Watters on Monday called him a 'left-wing Trump' following the interview's release. Watters pointed to Hunter Biden's remarks about President Trump's immigration policies, in which the younger Biden said the US could 'invade' El Salvador to retrieve individuals deported by the Trump administration earlier this year. Advertisement 'And make no mistake: everything he's saying is exactly what Joe Biden is thinking,' Watters said. 'This is 'Dark Brandon Jr.' This is the guy the memo was about. This is a guy who doesn't give an F. He's macho. He's bold. To say that they're going to invade El Salvador to bring back the bad hombres. That's like left wing Trump, and this is what they've been looking for,' Watters added.

Stephen Colbert's cancellation is making Democrats furious!
Why is the Democratic Party so furious about Stephen Colbert's cancelation? That's a question I've been asking myself all week, ever since we learned that the late-night host is losing his show, after CBS decided that $40 million in losses each year is too high a price to pay. This really shouldn't come as much of a surprise to people: It's hard out there for large traditional television organizations. They now face all sorts of competition from streaming and social media, from independent people who are, in some cases, a lot funnier than Stephen Colbert and can do what late-night hosts do for a fraction of the cost. I say there's more fun to be had on YouTube, on TikTok, on Substack, on X and elsewhere. That's how more and more people are getting their entertainment and their news — and late night is going to have to catch up. It just doesn't have the same relevancy, or pack the same punch. So ultimately, this was quite clearly a business decision. But try telling them that. Colbert is certainly acting like this is Donald Trump's fault — isn't everything. In fact, he recently swore at Trump on air, and Jon Stewart went further, singing an entire profanity-laden song about how much he hates Trump. I won't play the clip, because my very patient producers are getting sick of having to bleep every video I've requested this week, between this and Hunter Biden. Now look — even Keith Olbermann, perhaps the most relentlessly partisan, anti-Trump, anti-Republican mainstream progressive commentator on the planet, thinks this was probably just a business decision. He wrote on X: 'If they fired him to appease Trump, why are they letting him remain on the air as a lame duck, with nobody to stop him saying whatever he wants, for the next TEN MONTHS? They may have timed it to use it as a sop to Trump but this is like Phil Donahue getting cancelled.' Donahue being another former commentator, one I quite liked, who was eventually put out to pasture for business reasons. When Keith Olbermann is providing you a much-needed sanity check, you should be very, very afraid. Ultimately, I don't really blame the other late-night hosts — Stewart, Kimmel, Fallon, etc. — for showing industry solidarity with Colbert. But why are Democratic politicians also so upset about the cancelation? And trust me, they are furious. Rep. Ted Lieu is actually circulating a petition telling CBS not to cancel Colbert. Doesn't he have more important things to do, possibly on behalf of his constituents? Sen. Bernie Sanders weighed in as well. Bernie writes on X: 'CBS's billionaire owners pay Trump $16 million to settle a bogus lawsuit while trying to sell the network to Skydance. Stephen Colbert, an extraordinary talent and the most popular late night host, slams the deal. Days later, he's fired. Do I think this is a coincidence? NO.' Again, he has no evidence whatsoever that this was anything other than a business decision. The show was a huge money loser! I know Bernie isn't a huge fan of capitalism, but generally, when you're losing tons of money, the business pivots. Perhaps under democratic socialism, we'd have subsidized terrible political comedy? And of course Sen. Elizabeth Warren is equally outraged. Seriously, she won't stop tweeting about this. Does anyone think for a minute that various Democratic politicians would be furious if a conservative news channel canceled a conservative show? Or even if a show like the one you're watching right now, 'Rising,' got axed? We speak to perspectives all over the place. I doubt it would matter to most Democratic officials, except maybe to a few friends of the program who've enjoyed being interviewed here. No, the reason the end of Colbert is so infuriating is because the Democratic Party likes the content: And the content of Colbert was reliably anti-Trump. It just wasn't very funny.

The VTuber world is in crisis over ‘owed' donations
On July 21st, 6,669-year-old demon queen Ironmouse, posted an 11-minute video explaining that she is leaving her talent management agency, VShojo. Ironmouse is a VTuber, or 'virtual YouTuber' — a type of a streamer who doesn't typically show their human face, instead creating elaborate digital personas to create content. 'I recently found out that for the past couple of months, I have been misled by VShojo,' she said, breathily, in her video. 'I believe that I am owed a significant amount of funds which I have not been paid.' With her pink hair, purple eyes, and horns, Ironmouse is one of Twitch's biggest streamers. She currently has over 2.3 million followers on Twitch, and 1.3 million subscribers on YouTube. In 2023, she won a Game Award for content creator of the year. A year later, she would briefly overtake Kai Cenat as the most subscribed to Twitch streamer with over 300,000 subs. Her VTuber colleagues at VShojo have follower counts in the hundreds of thousands across Twitch and YouTube. Now, in the aftermath of Ironmouse's video, most of them have also quit the company, with some of them alleging unpaid wages. According to Ironmouse, her trouble with VShojo started with the conclusion of her 2024 subscription marathon on Twitch. During the event, Ironmouse raised over $500,000 for the Immune Deficiency Foundation, a cause she explained was important to her as she — the real person behind the Ironmouse persona — suffers from common variable immunodeficiency or CVID. The Verge has reached out to VShojo, Ironmouse, and the Immune Deficiency Foundation for comment. 'Because the money came from my Twitch revenue,' Ironmouse said in her video, 'It required VShojo to make the donation on my behalf.' She claims this has not been done and that's why she's decided to leave VShojo: 'And most importantly, the thing that hurts me the most is that the Immune Deficiency Foundation, which is the most important charity to me and also the reason why I'm here today, is owed over half a million dollars from Vshojo. […] I really want to tell you everything, but unfortunately right now I have been instructed by my attorney to wait for more of the legal procedure to unfold. So one day I will be able to tell you the full story. But for now, I just need to let you know that I will no longer be a part of VShojo.' 'As of right now, I am an independent VTuber,' she said. While a creator leaving a talent agency is nothing new, especially in the world of VTubers, the scope and scale of this departure has had a serious impact on both VShojo and the wider VTuber community. In the hours after Ironmouse released her video, 12 of the 13 VTubers listed on VShojo's website have officially announced they are leaving the company. On July 22nd, Kson, a yakuza-themed VTuber with 1.3 million followers on YouTube, did a livestream in which she announced she too would be leaving the company, also alleging unpaid funds. 'And the reason why is because VShojo hasn't paid a significant amount of money to me,' she said. Most of the other members of VShojo, who said they were leaving on their livestreams and social media, would not give explicit reasons why, suggesting they aren't able to due to legal reasons. Nearly all of them expressed heartbreak related to their departure and shock at Ironmouse's treatment. 'Yes, I'm leaving VShojo,' wrote Projekt Melody on X. '[I] put my everything into this comp[any]. But I'm beyond devastated at what happened and I never in a million years thought I'd be saying these words.' When VShojo was founded in 2020, it positioned itself as 'talent first' as a way to differentiate itself from other companies that had reputations for treating talent poorly. This attracted popular VTuber talent and huge numbers of fans. VTubers operate similarly to Twitch streamers but can have extra expectations and constraints set upon them if they are corporately sponsored by talent agencies. To understand VTubers, it's best to think of them as digital Japanese pop idols. Almost every aspect of a corporate VTuber — their sponsorships, social media accounts, finances, name, and more — is owned and controlled by their agency. In most circumstances, if a VTuber decides to go independent, they have to leave every aspect of their persona behind including all the channels attached to that persona and start over from scratch. VShojo stood out as a company because its clients were not beholden to those terms. 'I'm actually shocked,' said Biggles, an artist and independent Vtuber who told The Verge she's been a fan of VShojo talent since the company's beginning. 'VShojo was a dream for many.' Ironmouse's dream for the Immune Deficiency Foundation lives on however. After posting her announcement video as her usual persona, she initiated a donation drive to replace the allegedly unpaid funds. Through her community, her former Vshojo colleagues, and their communities, they've raised almost $1 from this author will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed.
