But sometimes we get tired of that and just want to throw an opinion out there. Today, we take a look at the social media app known as Twitter (no, we’re not calling it X) and ask our contributors: what Twitter post or account do you think belongs in a museum?  Colin Hamilton, Staff Writer:   “I want that twink Obliterated.” Has there ever been such a statement? Hailing from a sourceless Wattpad comment, the phrase quickly gained popularity on Twitter. It’s easy to see why: the phrase exists as an exclamation that can perfectly express any manner of emotion, if not in a slightly campy way. From playful rage to adoration, this five-word masterpiece covers it all. Even the choice of capitalization underlines the inherent humor in the statement; because yes, obliterated is exactly the word that is needed to complete this sentence. In fact, I believe this may be one of the few good things to have spawned from the bottomless pit that is Wattpad. For that reason alone, it deserves its place enshrined in some internet museum.   Gianna Cassino, Weekly Columnist (she/her): Until my dying days, I

BLACKSBURG – Virginia Tech men’s basketball head coach Mike Young announced Thursday that guard Ben Hammond will be returning to the squad for his junior season in 2026-27. Hammond stepped up his play in his second season in Blacksburg, starting in 18 of 32 games and leading the Hokies in scoring in ACC play at 14.9 ppg. The sophomore guard saw his numbers increase in 2026 in all categories as he led the team in minutes played, 3-point field goal percentage and was amongst the league leaders in free throw shooting (fourth at 86.5%), assist to turnover ratio (tenth at 2.2) and steals (second at 2.0). He tied a program record with his six steals in an ACC game which he did in Tech’s win at Syracuse. Hammond willed the Hokies to an upset victory over No. 21 Virginia on New Year’s Eve in a three-overtime thriller. The point guard scored a career-high 30 points, including 20 after regulation to help Tech upset its rival. Hammond finished 16-18 from the free throw line, setting career totals in that category in addition to his 42 minutes played off the bench. With his 30-point performance, he became the first Hokie to score

The Big Picture The White House Correspondents’ Dinner is ten days away, and the newsletter class spent Wednesday asking an uncomfortable question: when an administration wages war on the press, do you still invite them to the party? Jeff Shell’s abrupt exit from Paramount gave the trade press plenty to chew on, with sources suggesting his colleagues were relieved to see him go. The podcast M&A market is in full frenzy following the TBPN-OpenAI deal, with dealmakers naming the next targets. And the Iran ceasefire touched off a media split — conservative outlets said the press overcorrected on war crime warnings, while left-leaning newsletters called it a strategic humiliation for Trump. All that, plus the Oscar calendar is staying put in March and Hollywood’s publicists are not happy about it.

Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine is weighing appointments to two vacant judge seats in Montgomery County courtrooms. The judicial vacancies come after the retirements of Montgomery County Common Pleas Judge Dennis Adkins and Montgomery County Juvenile Court Judge Julie Bruns in recent months. Adkins retired at the end of 2025, and Bruns retired in February. The Ohio Supreme Court appointed visiting judges to hear cases for both seats until appointments are selected by the governor. When judges resign from their offices, Ohio’s governor gets to pick who will take over that seat. The Montgomery County Republican Party provided recommendations to the governor's office for both seats, as DeWine is a Republican. Retired Judge Julie Bruns. CONTRIBUTED DeWine’s Press Secretary Dan Tierney said the governor’s office is in the final stages of selecting appointees for the two seats. The governor's appointees will serve until voters pick replacements in the general election this fall. According to the Montgomery County Board of Elections, two Republican candidates have been certified in the May 5 primary race for Adkins’ unfilled term — Greene County Juvenile Court Magistrate Steve Abshire and local attorney Jack Pook. Democratic candidate Richard Glennon is running unopposed in the party primary. Both
