This week Major and Lise talk swag-surfing at the White House, Cardi B remains a national treasure, Lise is excited about Selena's story coming to the small screen, Black Panther just added Queen Angela to the fold, Drake is at peak light-skinnedness, and Obama making it rain medals and sentence commutations.

Really good music gets our love offering, Lise sits at the intersection of comic book and band geekdom in this week's Geek Corner, and one special Memphian girl is hardly home but always repping as the GRITS We Love.
