Watch Drake work out to Taylor Swift’s Bad Blood in new Apple Music ad

Taylor Swift and Drake might never actually be musical collaborators, but they’ve at least figured out how to be Apple fanboy collaborators. The newest Apple Music ad features both of them — Drake in the flesh, and Swift in musical form, her songs played via Apple’s subscription service.

The ad starts with Drake pumping iron with his buddy in a sweaty gym. He promises “no mercy” with his bicep presses, but needs some inspiration to dig deep for his next reps. Cue Swift’s “Bad Blood,” which Drake puts on and starts miming, dancing, and working out along with. The message seems to be that Apple Music is great for gym-goers, but Swift’s song is so catchy that Drake messes up the last rep and drops a barbell on his ribs. The service is “distractingly good,” the ad says, leaving Drake’s eventual fate unknown as he slides off the gym bench in pain.

Despite some initial resistance to the service, Swift has already appeared in several commercials for Apple Music, while Drake has broken records with his Apple Music exclusives, so it’s no big surprise that they’ve both ended up here.

Now if only Apple could get them to write a jingle

The Secret Science 02:The 30 Most Disturbing Human Experiments in History

Disturbing human experiments aren’t something the average person thinks too much about. Rather, the progress achieved in the last 150 years of human history is an accomplishment we’re reminded of almost daily. Achievements made in fields like biomedicine and psychology mean that we no longer need to worry about things like deadly diseases or masturbation as a form of insanity. For better or worse, we have developed more effective ways to gather information, treat skin abnormalities, and even kill each other. But what we are not constantly reminded of are the human lives that have been damaged or lost in the name of this progress. The following is a list of the 30 most disturbing human experiments in history. 30. The Tearoom Sex Study Sociologist Laud Humphreys often wondered about the men who commit impersonal sexual acts with one another in public restrooms. He wondered why “tearoom sex” — fellatio in public restrooms — led to the majority of homosexual arrests in ...

The Strange and Stranger Case of Wyndham Lathem

A Northwestern University plague researcher has been charged with a brutal murder. Here’s what we know about him. WIKIMEDIA, TONY WEBSTER O n July 27, The Chicago Tribune reported that there was an arrest warrant issued for Wyndham Lathem , a microbiologist at Northwestern University. The crime Lathem would later be charged with was brutal—26-year-old Trenton James Cornell-Duranleau, whose body was found in Lathem’s apartment, had been stabbed dozens of times. But Lathem was nowhere to be found. As events unfolded over the following days, it became clear he had fled from Chicago to California with a second suspect, 56-year-old Andrew Warren, a University of Oxford employee from the United Kingdom visiting the states. Along the way, the two men apparently made an anonymous $1,000 donation in Cornell-Duranleau’s name to the Lake Geneva Public Library and another donation for $5,610 to a Chicago health center. Lathem had also sent a video to fa...

Japan’s tsunami warning system worked well in today’s major earthquake

The quake was an aftershock of the massive 2011 temblor USGS At 5:59AM local time Tuesday morning, a magnitude 7.4 earthquake shook the east coast of Japan. The Japan Meteorological Agency issued tsunami warnings and evacuation orders soon after the quake hit, warning of possible 10-foot waves. The quake may have been responsible for an issue at a local nuclear power plant where a pump responsible for cooling fuel rods shut down. Japanese authorities lifted the tsunami warnings at 9:45AM local time, around four hours after the shaking started. Prefectures along the country’s Pacific coast had been given tsunami advisory indicators, but a stronger tsunami warning was issued to Fukushima prefecture — one of the regions devastated by the magnitude 9.0 quake and subsequent tsunami that caused the disaster at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in 2011. EVEN SMALL TSUNAMIS CAN GENERATE DANGEROUS CURRENTS Earthquakes that occur underwater can caus...
