Last week, Lil Nas X once again sparked controversy by pointing out a double standard that seemed to be at play surrounding skateboarding legend Tony Hawk's release of a skateboard infused with his literal, actual blood.

Hawk's release inspired barely a word of dissent, but Lil Nas X's similarly blood-infused shoe release back in March led to him being called "Satanic," among other things.

Naturally, this being the internet, an argument quickly ensued among the two men's fandoms--especially after Lil Nas X threw a bit of shade at Hawk by commenting "Nah he tweakin'" in the comments of one of Hawk's Instagram posts, sparking a new meme in the process.

But whatever bad blood may have existed between the two legends has apparently evaporated entirely. To prove it, the two got together for a bit of extremely impressive skateboarding (well, sort of) and the clips and videos they've posted of their meet-up have fans cheering.

After the controversy first erupted, Hawk magnanimously told reporters at a skateboarding event in Salt Lake City that he understood and respected Lil Nas X's perspective.

But that politeness has since turned into a full-fledged friendship. Both men have since repurposed Lil Nas X's "nah he tweakin" comment in the most genial ways possible in subsequent social media posts.

On Instagram, Lil Nas X switched-up his catchphrase to "nah WE tweakin" in a caption of a photo of he and Hawk. And on TikTok, Hawk posted a clip of Lil Nas X skating with the caption "Nas we tweakin!" Aww, we love these guys!

But far more impressive was the joking "skateboarding skills" Lil Nas X showed off in Hawk's TikTok post by editing Hawk into his place just in time to do the actual skateboarding.

You can see the video here:

Oh social media, people loved the joke and were all about these two guys' budding friendship.

Dem Rep. Expertly Pinpoints Why Republicans Are Dismantling DEI Programs In Mic Drop Rant

Speaking during a House Oversight Committee hearing, Pennsylvania Democratic Representative Summer Lee expertly pinpointed why diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs are being targeted by Republicans nationwide, noting that "remedying past discrimination is not, in turn, a discrimination."

DEI programs are organizational strategies aimed at ensuring fair treatment and full participation for everyone, with a special focus on historically marginalized or discriminated groups. These frameworks strive to create an environment where all individuals, regardless of their identity or abilities, are valued and included.

People Describe The Absolute Best Meal They Ever Ate

I've traveled quite a bit—for work and pleasure—and had some memorable meals along the way.

There was the borscht, pierogies, and sausage at Polish restaurant Mazurka (R.I.P.) on Rue Prince-Arthur in Montreal, Canada. The poutine I sampled across Quebec and the Maritimes. All the fresh breads, doner kebabs, schnitzel, and baked French onion soups I ate while TDY in Germany. The yakisoba, sushi, and seafood curry I had while working for the DoD in Japan.

Elon Musk Mocked For Hilariously Wrong Prediction About Matt Gaetz—And Yeah, That Did Not Age Well

After former Florida congressman Matt Gaetz dropped out of contention for President-elect Donald Trump's Attorney General post, a hilariously over the top post from billionaire Elon Musk—who is tapped to lead Trump's "Department" of Government Efficiency—resurfaced that showcases how wrong Musk was about Gaetz's future within the second Trump administration.

Gaetz was previously the subject of a Justice Department investigation into alleged sex trafficking involving a 17-year-old girl and has faced scrutiny from the House Ethics Committee over accusations of sexual misconduct. However, that inquiry effectively concluded last week when Gaetz announced his resignation from Congress.
