What to Expect from the Presidential Debate

It’s safe to say that the presidential debate will have more than enough viral moments to live in internet infamy. While there’s no official word on debate topics, the economy, border control, student loans and abortion laws are some of the political issues that Trump and Biden might address.

The debate will include two commercial breaks over the 90 minutes. Biden will be positioned at a podium on the right side of the room and Trump on the left. Each candidate’s microphone will be muted until it’s their time to speak. Trump will deliver closing statement during the debate.

Trump, 78, and Biden, 81, agreed to the presidential debate in May, around a month before the twice-impeached former president was convicted on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records.

The next presidential debate between Biden and Trump is scheduled for Sept. 10 on ABC News.

The $500 hair dryer is equipped with sensors that automatically reduces heat as the Nural gets close to your head and a scalp protection mode that automatically reduces the heat to 131-degrees, an “optimum temperature for scalp comfort and drying speed,” per Dyson.

Depending on how close it is to your hair, the Nural’s LED lights will adjust from yellow (low heat) to orange (medium heat) or red (high heat) when in Scalp Protect mode.

Dyson Supersonic Nural Hair Dryer Ceramic Patina/Topaz

I tested the Dyson’s Supersonic Nural hair dryer during a trip overseas, and it came in handy when my flat iron failed the vibe check. It’s surprisingly lightweight, not too bulky or loud, and works rather quickly.

Another bonus, the Nural is smooth to the touch and has a motion sensor that turns the blow dryer off when you put it down. Plus, it’s compact enough to throw in your luggage and take on summer vacation.

The Dyson Nural Supersonic hair dryer is available in vinca blue/topaz and ceramic patina/topaz at Dyson.com and major retailers such as Amazon, Ulta, Sephora, QVC, Best Buy, Bloomingdale’s and Nordstrom.

One of the most highly anticipated announcements of the year is here. XXL Magazine has revealed their 2024 Freshman class.

The storied Hip-Hop publication is continuing their yearly tradition of spotlighting new talent. Last week XXL unveiled the 11 rappers chosen as those to watch for the remainder of the year and beyond. Labeled as “Not Like Us” the lineup features artists who are already buzzing due to popular singles. Included are the likes of BossMan Dlow who recently gained national attention with his catchy track “Get In With Me”. Representing New York City is ScarLip who originally went viral in 2022 with her single “Glizzy Gobbler”. Her popularity would really skyrocket with the release of her gritty “This Is New York.”

The 2024 ensemble also shines a much deserved light on some Cash Cobain and his sleeper hit “Fisherrr”. The slow melodic effort has given the New York Drill scene a new lane; “Sexy Drill”. So sexy Ice Spice jumped on the remix further extending the lifeline of the song. Lay Bankz, That Mexican OT, BigXthaPlug, Rich Amiri, Hunxho, 4batz, Maiya The Don and Skilla Baby round out the rest of the list. Southside is the producer slotted to make the beats for the 2024 cyphers.
