Social media has been a bit of a double-edged sword for Charli XCX. It was integral to the creation of her 2020 album How I’m Feeling Now, which she made in 2020 with heavy input from fans online. Now, though, being online is taking its toll on her, so much so that she’s thinking about taking a break from it.
In a post shared today, Charli wrote:
“I’ve always had a pretty open dialogue with you guys and so I just wanna mention a few things that have been on my mind recently. I have been feeling like I can’t do anything right at the moment. I know social media isn’t exactly a haven for kindness and positivity but generally speaking I always felt pretty safe with you guys on here. I’ve noticed lately that a few people seem quite angry at me – for the choices of songs I’ve chosen to release, for the way I’ve decided to roll out my campaign, for the things I need to do to fund what will be the greatest tour I’ve ever done, for things I say, things I do etc. I’ve been grappling quite a lot with my mental health the past few months and obviously it makes negativity and criticism harder to handle when I come across it and of course, I know this is a common struggle for most people in this day and age. But yeah anyways.. I just wanted to get on here and say, hey I’m really out here trying my best and working my ass off to make things that are hot and exciting and there’s honestly so much more insane stuff to come 🙂 !
In the meantime I’m thinking of just drafting tweets from a far when I feel like saying something and having someone else post them, just for a little while, because I can’t really handle it here right now. Eternal love, Charli x.”
Shortly after that post, Charli shared a teaser clip promoting a new video for her Rina Sawayama collaboration, “Beg For You.” The video is set to premiere tomorrow.
While he was originally aided in his inanity for a while by Fox News, even they bailed on the pillow magnate/conspiracy theorist after both of them got smacked with billion-dollar defamation suits from Dominion Voting Systems for their continued, and unfounded, insistence that there was widespread voter fraud. Eventually, Fox News gave Lindell the whole “it’s not you, it’s me” blowoff then refused to let him appear on the network, which he’s had trouble accepting. Back in November, he attempted to stage a protest outside the company’s New York City headquarters, and no one (not even Lindell himself) showed up. Now, as Raw Story reports, he has publicly floated the idea of hacking into Fox News’ broadcasting system and taking over its airwaves.
It sounds like a plotline from a bad sitcom because it probably was one at some time. Lindell, speaking via his own Lindell TV, hatched a plan to get his latest big idea out to Fox News listeners:
“Maybe we should get our cyber guys… to hook up our stream to Fox’s. Can you imagine? ‘This is Sean Hannity…’ All of a sudden, breaking news right out of Georgia! The evidence is pouring in, pouring in! Arizona, pouring in, pouring in, Wisconsin! And Fox, you’d have the Murdochs going, ‘Oh no, what are we going to do?! The truth is out, we’re the liars!’”
Mike Lindell went on an insane, manic rant tonight. He says that since Fox won’t run any of his “evidence” of voter fraud (lawsuits), he is going to have his cyber experts hack Sean Hannity’s show and air it during his time slot on Fox. pic.twitter.com/g5RhJCKJKt
Robert Pattinson, who will make his debut as the weirdo freak Batman next month, had so much fun playing the emo-caped crusader, he doesn’t want it to end.
The Twilight alum recently spoke about his desire to be the flawed hero for as long as director Matt Reeves will let him. “I’m down to do it as many times as people want to see it really. I mean, I gotta get this one out first.” Pattinson joked in a sit-down interview with his co-stars. “I talked to Matt about the idea of doing a trilogy. And that would be wonderful, I really enjoyed the process. It’s such a fun character to play. That’d be lovely.”
Paul Dano, who plays The Riddler in the upcoming film, agrees, saying that “there is so much room for this Batman to grow,” to which Pattinson exclaimed, “Yes! Big time.”
“Bruce is such a recluse in the film,” Zoe Kravitz, who plays the elusive Catwoman, said. “To see Bruce evolve into the person he knows he has to perform, that’s a really fun journey to go on.”
Pattinson’s Batman, who is taking on an interesting persona of a late ’90s emo rockstar, has been highly anticipated since the actor admitted he was inspired by Willem Dafoe for the character’s iconic raspy voice. That, along with a string of bizarre press bits about Pattinson’s inability to make pasta, make the upcoming Batman movie truly the most eagerly awaited movies of the year.
If you’ve ever felt an overwhelming desire to spit in the face of disgraced movie star Armie Hammer, know that Tom Hardy has already done it—and was handsomely rewarded for his efforts.
Vulture ran an excerpt from Blood, Sweat & Chrome: The Wild and True Story of Mad Max: Fury Road, a forthcoming book by Kyle Buchanan (a former editor for the site, who’s now with The New York Times), which talked about the casting process for the Oscar-winning 2015 movie, the latest in George Miller’s post-apocalyptic Mad Max series. According to casting director Ronna Kress, the search for the “new” Max Rockatansky took an entire year and “We saw, at the time, what I consider now to be many of the movie stars of our day.”
Alongside Hardy and Hammer, Michael Fassbender and Jeremy Renner were among the top contenders for the part—and eventually the team wanted to see the actors alongside each other. Which is how Hardy and Hammer ended up in a room together, and Hammer essentially called mercy. “When Hardy gnashed his teeth and spat at his scene partner, Hammer told Miller that Hardy needed to be Max more than he did,” Buchanan writes.
“After Tom auditioned, George [Miller] and I went into another room, and we had a long moment of quiet with each other,” Kress said. “Then I said to George, ‘Is this the person that you can spend nine months in the desert with, telling this story? Is this the person that’s right for you?’”
For Miller, it was like a bit of déjà vu. “I had the same feeling about Tom that I had when Mel Gibson first walked into the room,” Miller said. “There was a kind of edgy charm, the charisma of animals. You don’t know what’s going on in their inner depths, and yet they’re enormously attractive.”
Miller was sold—though not, according to Hardy, before “he checked my background with other directors to see what it was like to work with me.”
Blood, Sweat & Chrome: The Wild and True Story of Mad Max: Fury Road is set to be published on February 22, 2022.
Coi Leray has yet to capitalize on her breakout 2021, although that could change in the near future thanks to her new song “Anxiety.” The single from her upcoming debut has helped her gain traction after her breakout 2021 singles “No More Parties” and “Twinnem” brought her quirky approach to a mainstream audience. Today, she dropped the single’s surreal music video, which could raise its profile and go a long way toward earning her some much-deserved respect.
In the video, Coi is terrorized by a mischievous personification of the feeling of anxiety, portrayed by a flexible dancer in a houndstooth-patterned, bodysuit, complete with horns and a penchant for causing destruction. In a series of related vignettes, the evil imp upends a meal, forces another young woman to drink a whole bottle of wine, and demolishes a third woman’s bedroom, echoing the disruptive effects anxiety can have and the extreme measures some folks take to self-medicate.
Coi’s addressed her mental health through music on other singles, including “Medicine,” while fending off critics for the past year who criticized everything from her body to her passing resemblance to Dej Loaf. Hopefully, she can find a little peace of mind amid the bustle of becoming a star because she may only get bigger from here — especially with her debut album coming in March, as she announced on Twitter.
There are many ways to do salsa, and it can be made out of damn near anything. We even used squash once, and believe it or not, it was still pretty good. Salsa is best made yourself, and you don’t even have to be all that precious about it. There are almost infinite combinations of the same basic ingredients and many will make a fine salsa. Check out this guy’s Instagram any time you want to get inspired. It’s in Spanish, but you’ll manage.
But I get it, sometimes you don’t have the time, maybe you already spent all day cooking up a Mexican feast, or maybe you’re just too stoned and all you and your buddies want is a little fuel before your next sack-tapping contest. I don’t know, I’m not here to make excuses for you. The point is, enough store-bought salsas exist that at least one must surely be worth buying… right?
***
Store-bought salsa is something of a paradox in terms. The whole point of salsa is to add a fresh-produce punch to your meat or tortilla. Yet selling such a thing in stores requires the ability to last for weeks, months, or even longer in the refrigerator section or even on the shelves. Which does seem to call the whole “fresh” part into question (home-made ones only last about 5-7 days in the fridge). The question for store-bought salsas is whether they can alter that basic equation and still taste like something approximating salsa.
For this test, we figured that the salsas from the fridge section — which require refrigeration and usually have sell-by dates of a month or two — must taste fresher than the shelf-stable non-refrigerated varieties in jars that last who knows how long. So this particular ranking focuses only on what I could find in the refrigerated sections of my local Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, Sprouts, and Save Mart.
I tasted them blind (that is, not being able to see the labels, not literally blindfolded), and ranked them according to looks, smell, and taste. Tasting salsa on chips seemed to be the fairest, even though I do distinguish between a chips-and-dip salsa (I generally make a fresh pico de gallo for that situation) and a taco condiment (I tend to go spicier here, like a simple jalapeño/avocado salsa). Plenty of brands were available in mild, medium, and hot. For the sake of simplicity, and for not blowing out my palate, I just went with medium whenever there was a heat-level option.
Sort of like marinara with onion chunks and occasional cilantro flecks.
Nose:
I didn’t even have to get my face close to this one to smell the oregano. You could smell this oregano bomb from across the room. It smells like bad pizza sauce.
Taste:
Like bad marinara, only saltier. This belongs in the garbage — the outside one. I don’t want to smell this every time I throw something away.
Bottom Line:
It’s actually kind of impressive to stand out as the worst salsa in a tasting of salsas that mostly weren’t very good. This one reeked of dry oregano from five or six feet away and managed to taste even more like bad pizza sauce than it smelled. Absolutely not.
Another chunky, light-bodied pico de gallo. Looks very tomato-heavy and onion-light. There’s an isolated cilantro speck here and there.
Nose:
Mostly lime.
Taste:
It’s sort of a dry-spice muddle with lots of citrus and salt.
Bottom Line:
My hunch is that if you’re buying these deli salsas, never get anything below medium. It takes a baseline level of spice to mask the citric acid it takes to keep these from spoiling. Anyway, this one just tasted like salt and dry spices, I can’t really recommend it for anything.
Rating: 4/10
Notes: The seal was broken on this one, I think it was one of the ones I dropped on the way inside.
Watery and brownish-red. Has a more taqueria taco sauce consistency, which is a little more watery.
Nose:
There’s a ton of jalapeño skin, almost blowing out my nostrils.
Taste:
This one is a jalapeño bomb, and not in a good way. You can tell just by looking at it that there are almost more jalapeños than tomatoes, so “red salsa” feels like a bit of a misnomer. More crucially, the spice/acid/tomato balance feels way off.
Bottom Line:
This salsa boasted “only four ingredients” on the packaging, but I’m surprised it was that many. It tasted and smelled like charred jalapeños and little else. Jalapeños are great, but this tasted somehow charred and undercooked at the same time, like they just burnt the skins while the rest of the pepper was still mostly raw.
The spice and ingredient balance just felt way off.
It’s green (duh) with seeds and black flecks and pretty watery. It gets chunkier when you mix it. There are the occasional onion pieces.
Nose:
I think I smell some kind of green chile? More so than tomatillo anyway.
Taste:
Very salty! I’m still getting green chile, like roasted pasilla or Anaheim chile. It tastes more like fresh chile than canned, at least, but I get that more than the tart tomatillo.
Bottom Line:
In my head, it seemed easier to make a store-bought tomatillo salsa taste like homemade than a tomato one, seeing as how tomatillos tend towards tart already. In reality, this one just wasn’t very good. Too salty, and I thought it tasted much more of roasted green chiles than it does of tomatillo. Indeed, the ingredients list “green chile pepper puree” as the second ingredient.
This is more like a roasted pasilla salsa than what it’s advertising.
Very bright red. Maybe there’s some roasted pepper in there? It’s more of a purée than chunky.
Nose:
Muddled pepperiness? I’m not sure what I’m getting there.
Taste:
It smells and tastes a little ketchup-y, but the spices are decently balanced. It’s not really great on chips, but I could see using it as an ingredient in something. Maybe to spice up some eggs or chili?
Bottom Line:
This is muddled and ketchup-y, but not terrible. It’s not worthy of chips and dip but as an ingredient for a breakfast burrito or something you could do worse.
This actually looks like restaurant pico with small chunks of fresh tomato and onion. The onions do look a touch wilted.
Nose:
All tomato and lime.
Taste:
Kind of bland, but mostly okay. This mostly tastes like fresh tomatoes, if not exactly vibrant.
Bottom Line:
Pico de gallo is traditionally made using all raw ingredients, which would seem the hardest to turn into something refrigerator stable. In that sense, it’s pretty impressive that Trader Joe’s deli pico de gallo is only slightly worse than the homemade version from Whole Foods.
Without grading on a curve, it’s mediocre at best.
Surprisingly bright with good sweetness and a nice acid balance, though it is a touch ketchup-y.
Bottom Line:
I would never have guessed that this salsa had avocado in it if I hadn’t looked at the package. I don’t really understand the point of using avocado, but not enough that the salsa isn’t still red. Not that I’m entirely against it, it’s just … weird. Anyway, maybe the avocado gave this salsa a slightly more velvety texture?
This mostly just tasted like a replacement-level deli salsa to me.
Nice habanero flavor, which I do like. Habanero is sort of fruity and tropical, probably a little more vibrant than your standard green or dried chiles. The difficulty there is, obviously, the heat. I don’t know how much of this I could realistically eat.
Bottom Line:
This is not great as a salsa, mostly because it has more heat than flavor, but it’s pretty decent as a hot sauce or a taco condiment. Heat isn’t everything in and of itself, but it’s better than nothing. Easily the best of the Trader Joe’s salsas I tried.
Actually like restaurant salsa! Pretty impressive, honestly. It seems they used red onions rather than white, which is a choice. Greater onion-to-tomato ratio than others, but still not super onion heavy.
Nose:
I’m getting more lime than vinegar here with mostly a fresh tomato smell.
Taste:
This is very much not restaurant quality, the balance and spices are off, but at least it’s fresh. I’m getting more salt than fresh veg, and the flavors don’t quite “pop.”
Bottom Line:
This was a fresh food item made in-house at my local Whole Foods with only a few days’ shelf life, which should’ve given it a natural advantage over the other ones designed to last for weeks or months. It was fresh enough, but the spice balance wasn’t quite there. I imagine this will vary from store to store and from season to season, and probably even from employee to employee based on who’s making it and tasting it that day.
A very seedy, thickish blender purée that’s more paste-like than the others. Darker red/brownish with some tomato or pepper skins.
Nose:
Something smoky in here. Maybe chipotle?
Taste:
This is mostly a smoky cumin-chipotle bomb, but with a nice kick. Quite spicy. My scalp is sweating.
Bottom Line:
I like the name “salsa queen” because it makes me think of “size queen.” The label is also probably the coolest on this list. This one was chipotle-heavy and quite spicy, so probably not great for chips but solid on tacos and as a condiment. It certainly adds spice.
Rating: 6/10 as a chip dipper. 7/10 as a taco condiment.
Red, blended purée, on the watery side. There are cilantro and onion flecks.
Nose:
It smells fresh-ish and not too dry spice heavy.
Taste:
Sort of bland, but the spice and acid levels are nicely balanced. I would eat this on chips if it was in front of me, though I wouldn’t seek it out.
Bottom Line:
This one was more “passable” than something to get excited about, but passable is pretty hard to come by with these. This one gets the spice and acid balance right, at least. Maybe that’s the “improved taste” the package describes.
Very smooth and watery, more like taqueria taco sauce than salsa. Darker red with black flecks — either from roasted stuff or dried peppers.
Nose:
Vaguely smoky; not much going on otherwise.
Taste:
This is heavy on the chipotle, but that isn’t a bad thing. There’s a medium heat, nice balance, and moderate smokiness. Actually this one is pretty decent. Yes, I would put this on stuff. Kind of gets better the more you eat it.
Bottom Line:
This one was simply head and shoulders above the rest — probably the only one of these I would consider good, and not just “good, for store-bought salsa.” The heat, it turns out, comes from habanero and Arbol chiles. The latter of which are dried and smoky in flavor, which probably accounts for the chipotle I thought I was tasting. Arbols make a great salsa chile, it’s just hard to get a ton of Arbol flavor in something without taking a flamethrower to your palate.
Maybe that smoke flavor is just better at disguising the citric acid and calcium chloride that’s in most of these.
Rating: 8/10
Vince Mancini is on Twitter. You can access his archive of reviews here.
In the weeks following the 2020 presidential election (you remember, the one that Donald Trump lost?), Giuliani—the then-president’s then-pal and personal lawyer—seems to have played the role of good cop when he attempted to seize the voting machines from states and counties that didn’t vote for his guy. As WaPo reported:
Antrim County prosecutor James Rossiter said in an interview that Giuliani and several colleagues made the request during a telephone call after the county initially misreported its election results. The inaccurate tallies meant that Joe Biden appeared to have beaten Trump by 3,000 votes in a Republican stronghold, an error that soon placed Antrim at the center of false claims by Trump that the election had been stolen.
Rossiter said he declined. “I said, ‘I can’t just say: give them here.’ We don’t have that magical power to just demand things as prosecutors. You need probable cause.’ Even if he had had sufficient grounds to take the machines as evidence, Rossiter said, he could not have released them to outsiders or a party with an interest in the matter.
It was those originally misreported numbers that some people believe made Antrim County a prime target of Team Trump’s “Aww, shucks—would you mind handing over your voting machines?” appeal. According to The Post’s examination of the incident, “the call to Rossiter was also part of a behind-the-scenes intervention by Trump’s legal team in Antrim that seized on the county’s election night blunder and helped twist the mistake into supposed proof of a vast conspiracy to rig the election.” (While playing nice seemed to be the first route to seizing these machines, Politico recently reported that Trump was also cooking up an executive order that would have allowed National Guard troops to go in and take the machines on Trump’s behalf.)
While Giuliani, via his attorney, declined to answer questions about the incident, other legal scholars described the direct appeal to a local prosecutor as both “unusual” and “inappropriate.” For his part, Rossiter was just plain surprised: “I never expected in my life I’d get a call like this,” he said.
The Ben Simmons saga in Philadelphia has come to an end. According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, the widely-rumored trade between the Brooklyn Nets and Philadelphia 76ers that would see Simmons and James Harden switch teams ahead of the NBA trade deadline has come to fruition, with the two All-Stars moving within the same division and Seth Curry, Andre Drummond, and a pair of picks headed to Brooklyn along with Simmons.
BREAKING: The Brooklyn Nets and Philadelphia 76ers are finalizing trade sending James Harden for Ben Simmons, Seth Curry and draft picks, sources tell @TheAthletic@Stadium.
Reports emerged in the middle of the day on Thursday that the hang up on the deal was the Nets wanting Matisse Thybulle, but the Sixers held on to their star perimeter defender by adding a second first round pick and Drummond to bolster the Nets frontcourt.
The Brooklyn Nets are trading James Harden to the Philadelphia 76ers for Ben Simmons, Seth Curry, Andre Drummond and two first-round picks, sources tell ESPN.
The picks going to the Nets are this year’s first from Philly and a protected 2027 first, with the Nets being able to defer this year’s pick to next year.
The Nets will get the Sixers’ 2022 first-round pick unprotected with a right to defer until 2023 and a 2027 first-round pick protected 1-to-8, sources tell ESPN. The 2027 pick would roll over to 2028 protected 1-to-8 again. The pick turns into two seconds and $2M in 2029.
It had been reported in recent weeks that the Sixers were interested in finding a way to acquire Harden in the summer after it surfaced that the now-former Nets star was interested in testing free agency for the first time in his career. Things started to escalate in the week leading up to the deadline, though, as the Nets became open to trying to figure out a deal amid the team’s recent struggles.
Simmons, of course, has not played this season, with his final appearance coming in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Atlanta Hawks, which Philadelphia lost. In the aftermath, Simmons came under criticism from Sixers coach Doc Rivers and star player Joel Embiid for his play in the series, and in the coming weeks, it became evident that he wanted a fresh start. Despite the team’s comments about wanting him to return to the floor, though, that never happened, even when the team began fining Simmons for not reporting and withholding paychecks.
Now, a trade that has been rumored ever since Harden’s days as a member of the Houston Rockets is finally going down. It’s one that makes a ton of sense for both teams — Philly gets the kind of superstar they wanted for Simmons and a perimeter creator, both for himself and for others, that the team could use, while Brooklyn gets a defensive menace who will keep the ball moving in their offense and is happy to fill in gaps while Kevin Durant and, when he can play, Kyrie Irving are cooking. But above all else, this trade makes sense in that it moves a pair of disgruntled superstars who desperately needed a change in scenery. Here’s to hoping Sixers-Nets happens in the playoffs.
After releasing his long-awaited third studio album, Few Good Things, Chicago rapper Saba followed up last night with the premiere of the album’s accompanying short film, also titled Few Good Things. Like the album, the film, directed by C.T. Robert, casts its focus on the themes of family and community, as well as the comforting memories that grow from each. A series of vignettes, home movies, and photo albums soundtracked by the album highlight the good things that Saba is holding onto.
In an artist’s note, Saba said of the film, “The concept of Few Good Things is the realization of self after a search for exterior fulfillment. It is the satisfaction and completeness you gain by simply living a life that is yours. Few is a small number, but few is not lonely. In the face of all adversity, a few good things is recognizing and accepting blessings. Few is to count them, one by one. An empty glass is full of air. An empty bank is full of lessons. An empty heart is full of memories. Few good things is to grow comfortable with the empty, and despite that, finding your fullness.”
Watch Saba’s new short film, Few Good Things, above. Few Good Things, the album, is out now via Pivot Gang LLC. You can stream it here.
When Martin Luther King Jr. gave his famous “I Have a Dream” speech in 1963, he was met by nearly 250,000 people. Traveling from all over the country to participate in the March on Washington, this crowd became part of one of the most iconic and pivotal moments in civil rights history.
Joining those thousands at the Lincoln Memorial was Ledger Smith, a 27-year-old athlete and entertainer who traveled all the way from Chicago … on roller skates.
Ledger’s story might be lesser known, but it’s an inspiring one.
As a semiprofessional skater, Smith, better known as “Roller Man,” was known for his impressive tricks.
Deciding to really put his skills to the test, Ledger skated 685 miles, from Chicago to Washington, D.C. … for 10 straight days. My legs are sore just thinking about it.
When a 1963 publication of the Baltimore Afro-American asked him why, Smith replied that it was “to dramatize the march,” adding that he “did it in the slowest way.”
To prepare for his journey, Smith ran 5 miles every day for two weeks prior. And after skating for 10 hours a day for a little over a week, he arrived having lost 10 pounds.
Wearing a freedom sign across his chest, Ledger helped spread inspiration along his route. He wasn’t always met with encouragement. At one point a man had tried to run him down with a car in Fort Wayne, Indiana, according to a radio interview with WAMU.
Still, Ledger was also met by well wishers. The Afro-American reported that many people along the highway, some of them white, wished Ledger good luck, saying that they’d see him in Washington.
Determination (and incredible stamina) overcame the obstacles. Because on Tuesday, Ledger arrived, “sore, aching, but hoping he was 700 miles closer to freedom,” according to the report.
Ledger met up with his wife—who decided to go the more traditional route and travel by train—along with celebrities, activists and protestors to take part in the massive March on Washington. The couple witnessed firsthand the words that would become a beacon of hope for the future, and an emblem of black resilience.
Following nine other speakers, King had only planned on being at the podium for four minutes. But when prompted by gospel star Mahalia Jackson to “tell ‘em about the dream,” he stood on stage and spoke for 16 minutes. Though the speech notably ties in themes from the Declaration of Independence, the Gettysburg Address, Shakespeare and the Bible, its most famous section was completely improvised.
Full of poetry and vigor, King challenged his community to “not wallow in the valley of despair,” and painted the picture of “walking together as sisters and brothers,” where King called it his dream, but it was Ledger’s dream too, along with countless others who arrived that day.
Ledger’s journey to Washington powerfully symbolizes the great lengths that African Americans had endured, were enduring—and still are enduring—to attain equality. But for Ledger, and the thousands that joined him, no distance was too great, if the long road leads to “free at last.”
