Kim Kardashian’s recent birthday party raised some eyebrows. Kardashian shared a gallery of photos from the event on October 22 and onlookers immediately noticed the presence of Ivanka Trump. Commenters wondered what the heck Donald Trump’s daughter was doing there, while Jason Isbell took the opportunity to look back at a run-in (well, avoided run-in) he had with the former Trump administration advisor.
In response to a tweet about a New York Times story on Ivanka at the Kardashian party, Isbell recalled seeing Ivanka and her “goofy cowgirl clothes” at a festival one time, writing, “Ran into her at a music fest the week her dad’s house got raided by the FBI. Goofy cowgirl clothes. Thank God a storm came up and she left before we went on. She walked toward me backstage- I turned and walked away. Some artists were VERY friendly with her though. We saw that.”
Ran into her at a music fest the week her dad’s house got raided by the FBI. Goofy cowgirl clothes. Thank God a storm came up and she left before we went on. She walked toward me backstage- I turned and walked away. Some artists were VERY friendly with her though. We saw that. https://t.co/6wH3QwzWIf
The FBI’s search of Mar-a-Lago took place on August 8, 2022, and Isbell performed at Wildlands Festival in Big Sky, Montana a few days later on August 12. So, it would seem that’s the fest he’s talking about here.
When you think of Seth Rogen you, well you think of a guy living his best life, smoking up and selling his pottery while, at the same time, presiding over an entertainment empire. Also, you think about Knocked Up, This Is The End, Superbad… I could go on. Dude’s affable everymanchild persona has made him the comedy movie icon of this century.
While Charlize Theron isn’t presently selling homemade ashtrays, she’s got her own long list of producer credits and profiles as an icon of a similar level, just in a couple of different genres, winning an Oscar for her role in Monster, a nomination for her work in Bombshell and North Country, and accolades for Tully and Young Adult. Oh, and she’s a legendary action star for her performances in Mad Max: Fury Road, Atomic Blonde, and the last two entries in theFast & Furious series. But the one film that these two have in common is one that might not jump to mind. That is until people started discovering it on Netflix.
Currently occupying a top spot on Netflix’s Top 10 list, 2019’s Long Shot is an under-remembered (despite pulling 82% on Rotten Tomatoes and doing OK at the box office) rom-com from director Jonathan Levine (who also directed Rogen in 50/50 and The Night Before) and writers Liz Hannah and Dan Sterling (who also wrote Rogen’s film, The Interview… you know, the one that almost triggered a nuclear war). While Long Shot doesn’t threaten to destabilize global relations, it is set in the world of politics with Theron playing the Secretary Of State. Supremely accomplished and put together, her character is on an express path to the Presidency before reuniting with Rogen’s somewhat disorderly journalist years after she baby sat him.
While we know where this is going, rom-coms are about the ride, and this one is filled with unconventional twists, some gross out comedy, and the hilarious sight of Theron and Rogen on ecstasy. Their chemistry is the headline, though. As mismatched characters who find comfort in what they unlock in each other and in exiting their respective comfort zones, this pairing feels right and you wind up rooting for them when the inevitable rough patch appears.
Long Shot is fun, but it’s also a reminder that these two should be in more rom-coms, preferably together. For now, though, we definitely recommend streaming Long Shot on Netflix.
The NBA unveiled a new ad campaign on Tuesday night for the In-Season Tournament that features NBA players running around Las Vegas trying to pull off a heist to steal the tournament trophy. It is truly a delight, as Kawhi Leonard, Anthony Davis, Draymond Green, Trae Young, DeMar DeRozan, Julius Randle, and Darius Garland all make cameos alongside Michael Imperioli in the spot that has decidedly Ocean’s Eleven vibes, right down to the musical choice.
Unwittingly, the NBA has entered my wheelhouse with this ad spot as the Ocean’s movies are my absolute favorite and my brain is quite broken to where I will wedge an Ocean’s reference into just about anything. Naturally, this campaign got me thinking about how I would recast the Ocean’s crew with NBA players, and after a great deal of thinking, I have landed on this group.
Danny Ocean: LeBron James
Pretty obvious choice here, so I’m not going to go too deep on the explanation of this one. LeBron is the elder statesman of the league, where everyone past, present, and future knows him, and if anyone were going to be capable of getting a crew together to pull off a heist, it is him. He also is the only player in the NBA that could pull off the line: “Well, I know all the guys you’d hire to come after me. They like me better than you.”
Rusty Ryan: Stephen Curry
I’ll be honest, this is probably the spot I had the most trouble with. I want to keep it current players for the younger guys in the crew, which takes the most obvious answer (Dwyane Wade: trusted friend of LeBron, wears a suit better than most any NBA player ever, etc.) off the board for me. I considered Giannis and KD here, but I think Steph fits the Rusty Ryan aesthetic. There’s an effortlessness to how Rusty does things that I think mirrors how Steph plays and a natural charisma that shows up when it’s showtime for both of them. You also have to be able to command the respect of the crew — Linus: “Who do you call when you have a problem? Everyone: “Rusty!” — which not many in the league can do better than Curry at this point. I’m not sure how Steph feels about eating shrimp cocktail as an afternoon snack, but I think we can make it work.
Linus Caldwell: Luka Doncic
Besides Danny/LeBron there is no comp I feel more strongly about than Luka Doncic as Linus Caldwell Junior Varsity. Luka is the highly talented young up-and-comer with the skills to be the best, but also is a little whiny and has some maturing to do before he takes the mantle as The Guy in the league. Also can’t you see Luka wearing exactly this outfit.
Oceans Eleven
Basher Tarr: Jimmy Butler
Jimmy feels like the player most likely to do a hilariously over the top Cockney accent, and also would be my pick for the player most likely to know his way around some explosives. He also has spent his entire career desperate to work with some proper villains again.
Frank Catton: Draymond Green
Frank is the crew’s slick talker with a big smile. C’mon now, who else in the NBA could pull off the ‘Nuff Said bit from 13 or the moisturizer monologue with Billy Tim Denim in 11? That’s all Draymond.
Reuben Tishkoff: Michael Jordan
The money behind the operation who is constantly smoking cigars and wants to raise the minimums so he can play all the seats? That’s the most Michael Jordan description I’ve ever heard. Also, there aren’t many legends that the entire league would drop everything to pull a revenge job for if they got screwed out of a casino deal — and there’s no former NBA star more likely to get involved in a questionable casino deal than Michael.
Saul Bloom: Shaq
Shaq is retired and living in Florida and loves wearing disguises and talking in funny accents. He’s basically already Saul, and we can’t do this without Saul.
Malloy Twins: Brook (Turk) and Robin Lopez (Virgil)
Even if we took the “have to be brothers” part out of the equation, if I asked you for the two players most likely to end up in an “I’m not touching you” fight in a van, you would say Brook and Robin Lopez. They’re also malleable to different roles, happy to do the dirty work, and also a little bit weird and a little bit obnoxious (but in an endearing way).
Oceans 11
Livingston Dell: Jarrett Allen
There isn’t an NBA player I would trust to hack into a security system more than Jarrett Allen. He’s also a quiet, fairly unassuming character in the overall landscape of the league, which fits perfectly to the Livingston aesthetic.
Amazing Yen: Jose Alvarado
We got ourselves a grease man! A small, sneaky fella capable of slipping in and out of tight windows to steal stuff? Buddy, that’s Jose Alvarado.
Terry Benedict: Mark Cuban
I don’t love this one, mostly for charisma reasons, but it has to be an owner who would, after having players steal from him, eventually join their side for a later heist. Mark Cuban really just wants to be one of the guys very badly and would absolutely do that.
Willy Bank: James Dolan
Owns the hottest new hotel giant Sphere thing on the strip and is the owner most likely to screw someone out of a deal. Also the most likely NBA owner to have shaken Frank Sinatra’s hand and later utter the words “Screw Sinatra’s hand.”
Roman Nagel: Nikola Jokic
Jokic doesn’t have time to be there for the full job, cause this is an offseason play. He has his horses to tend to. But in a pinch, when you need someone with a unique skillset to create something, he’s the guy you call and pay a large sum of money to show up.
Francois Toulour: Victor Wembanyama
I mean, he’s a lanky French guy trying to prove he’s the best to ever do it. Also, I just like the visual of Wemby doing the laser dance from 12.
Denny Shields: Rich Paul
Danny Ocean’s friend who pops up in the background and is connected to all the high rollers? That is Rich Paul.
Could I keep going? Absolutely, but I should get back to actual work here. That said, if someone wants to give me a large sum of money to make this movie happen, I’ll drop everything.

Weddings are a lot. It doesn’t seem to matter who you are. If you’re in the wedding party or just a guest viewing the festivities, the event can wipe you out. Preparations start well before the big event with picking out outfits, hair, makeup and more. But when you’re little, you have someone else to handle that for you, though it’s all still very tiring.
One tiny flower girl found herself a little too tuckered out to perform her duties. 1-year-old Charlotte Rose only had napping on her mind when it was time for her big moment to sprinkle flower petals down the aisle. Instead of the toddler’s nap being interrupted so she could complete her flower girl duties, her three cousins saved the day by letting her sleep.
In the video, you see the flower bros take over. The three men were supposed to walk behind the toddler during the ceremony as she did her official duties, instead, she snoozed on one of their shoulders as they walked down the aisle. The other two men trailed the one holding Charlotte and threw the flower petals with pizazz after donning their shades.
The moment was magical and adorably sweet while a strings version of Taylor Swift’s Wildest Dreams played in the background. People in the comments also agreed that the entire thing was adorable.
“Her security did a phenomenal job, assisting her,” one person says.
“She didn’t want anyone to feel sad for outshining everyone,” a commenter writes.
“I love that the flower girl is still part of the entourage,” someone gushes.
If someone said, “Name two genres of music on the opposite ends of the spectrum,” heavy metal and classical music would be a logical answer. So when you hear that an AC/DC song being played on classical instruments, it can challenge the brain a bit.
(Some folks may ask, “Is AC/DC really considered heavy metal?” By today’s standards, no. Compared to thrash, black and death metal, definitely not. But AC/DC has been lumped into the heavy metal genre by everyone from MTV to Encyclopedia Britannica, despite co-founder Angus Young saying they were just a rock band. At the very least, they were metal-adjacent, so let’s roll with it.)
“Thunderstruck” is one of those songs people of all ages know at least part of, thanks to its frequent use in movies and television shows. In fact, it’s so ubiquitous that when two cellists transition into it from a classical piece, it’s instantly recognizable.
Of course, the way they headbang and literally shred their cello bows while playing it also helps.
The cellists dressing in period garb and playing for what looks like an audience of Mozart’s creates a delightful contrast in addition to it being in impressive musical performance. There’s a reason the 2Cellos “Thunderstruck” video has been viewed a whopping 260 million times on YouTube.
Watch and enjoy:
People’s reactions since the video debuted in 2014 have ranged from humor to incredulity to admiration for the duo’s mad cello skills:
“I used to be a fan, but after hearing this masterpiece 1000 times, I’m an air conditioner now.”
“When you’re into rock but your parents buy you a cello.”
“Can’t believe AC/DC made a cover of a song from the 1700s.”
“These guys are like the ultimate form of being classically trained but the teachers never let them have any fun.”
“As a fellow cellist, the skill you’re witnessing is incredible.”
“As a bass player, it’s incredible how they can play that with so much precision. It is truly incredible, love the music.”
Many people in the comments have shared that they keep coming back to watch this again and again, even years later.
Luka and Hauser, the famous Croatian cellists responsible for this genre-smashing masterpiece, just ended their musical career together in May of 2023. As Total Croatia News reported, “Luka is more of a family man now, with three children and a wife, and Hauser continues to be ambitious, full of ideas and eager to keep going, conquering the world and playing his music everywhere. Having different approaches to life, they thought it was best to take separate paths but will still remain great friends.”
However, you can still enjoy their past performances together on their YouTube channel here.
In the United States, dozens of music festivals take place every year that give concertgoers the opportunity to discover new artists. To name just a few, there’s Pitchfork Music Festival and SXSW for indie music, Something In The Water and Essence Music Festival for R&B, Rolling Loud and Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival for hip-hop, and Ultra and Electric Forest for EDM. These US festivals have hundreds of thousands of people flocking to their grounds to collectively lose it to their favorite artists and find their next musical obsession. But one isolated festival has positioned itself as the leader in music discovery of all genres for years now, and they’re on a mission to close the gender lineup gap while they’re at it: Iceland Airwaves.
Identifying as the “world’s most northerly music showcase and industry festival,” Iceland Airwaves brings emerging artists from all across the world (Iceland included, of course) the weekend of November 2 through November 4 2023 to play their music to a diverse and international crowd. Much like SXSW, Iceland Airwaves doesn’t exist in one venue alone. Instead, the four-day spectacular is spread out all across the city of Reykjavík, allowing concertgoers a range of experiences from an intimate set in a cathedral to a full-blown rager in a massive concert hall.
The festival, which was founded in 1999, has been committed to booking gender-balanced line-ups as part of the festival’s ongoing work with Keychange, a pledge that was signed in 2019. This year is no different. Gender-parity is still at the centerfold of the festival with a range of artists from several countries and music genres. This year’s lineup highlights include Bombay Bicycle Club, Yard Act, Balming Tiger, Blondshell, Cassia, Lime Garden, Squid, Faux Real, Andy Shauf, and Ghostly Kisses, along with Icelandic artists like NANNA, Daði Freyr, Axel Flóvent, Árný Margrét, Eydís Evensen, Neonme, Myrkvi, and LÓN. Thankfully, Uproxx is breaking down the lineup to spotlight some acts you don’t want to miss.
Here are the acts you don’t want to miss at Iceland Airwaves 2023:
Andy Shauf
This Canadian indie mainstay has been releasing lush and tender music since 2009, with his latest being the excellent 2023 LP Norm. While his 2020 release The Neon Skyline was more conceptual, Norm takes listeners on a journey through the artist’s many little epiphanies about love and snapshots of human connection.
Blondshell
Blondshell is one of 2023’s biggest indie breakouts. The LA-based artist uses music to transmute angst about toxic relationships and the instability of early adulthood, all while paying homage to grungy early aughts with blown-out guitars, thundering power chords, and even a song dedicated to the cult favorite TV show Veronica Mars.
Squid
British quintet Squid are sure to bring the noise to Reykjavík this year. With their latest project O Monolith, Squid’s palpable energy manages to be both noisy and melodic. Throughout eight songs, Squid takes listeners on a disorienting journey, with much of their music starting slow before the band launches into a full-on frenzy of sound. With Squid, it’s safe to say listeners should expect the unexpected.
Anjimile
This Boston-by-way-of-Texas artist has gone from indie breakout to consistent favorite since dropping his 2020 debut Giver Taker. On the heels of his sophomore album The King, which dropped in September, Anjimile explores and reflects on his identity through music. Moving fluidly from tender and quiet to rageful and raucous, Anjimile’s boundless sound pushes the boundaries of folk rock.
JFDR
JFDR is the project of Icelandic singer-songwriter, Jófríður Ákadóttir. her wistful approach to music goes from moody to reflective, creating music that’s, in her words, “about clearing and healing; like breathing fresh strong air through your old self.” Her music has already inspired many, including Björk, who cites her as an inspiration.
Daði Freyr
Daði Freyr is another Iceland musician taking the stage at the festival this year, though he now resides in Berlin. Freyr burst onto the international music scene when he represented Iceland in the 2021 Eurovision Song Contest with the track “10 Years,” which impressively finished in fourth place. Since then, Freyr has been honing his feel-good music, continuing to release upbeat synth-forward music with his latest album I Made An Album that’s sure to be a blast to year in a live setting.
Balming Tiger
Alternative K-pop group Balming Tiger is a genre-blending group known for their tangible energy, cutting-edge sound, and awe-inspiring stage presence. Together, they fuse elements of punk, hip-hop, and synthy pop as heard on their just-released debut LP January Never Dies. They also have a collaboration with BTS’ RM, “Sexy Nukim,” which gives a taste of their swaggering, feel-good sound.
Gaidaa
Dutch-Sudanese R&B/Soul artist Gaidaa isn’t one to miss at Iceland Airwaves. Hailing from The Netherlands, Gaidaa’s music is characterized by powerful emotion she pours into each one of her songs. Mixing honeyed vocals with pacifying melodies, Gaidaa represents a new generation of soul artists poised to take the world by storm.
Kneecap
What do you get when you cross hip-hop, political satire, and Gaelic? The answer is Kneecap, a newly signed hip-hop trio hailing from Northern Ireland on a mission to bring their culture to wider audiences. The group, which rap mostly in their native language, aim to ignite conversations about Irish history with a swaggering sound, wild energy, and sharp lyricism.
Haley Blais
Canadian indie singer-songwriter Haley Blais oftentimes sings of growing pains. No, not the ones you experienced as a young kid. Rather, the emotional growing pains of being in your twenties. The singer’s stunning, airy vocals are the result of her time as a classically trained opera vocalist, and with her new album Wisecrack, Blais strives to uncover the darker side of coming into adulthood while still maintaining a sense of playfulness in her sound.
Iceland Airwaves hits Reykjavik on November 2nd. Find more information about the festival here.

I’ve never been in a war zone, but as a mother of three, I’ve pictured it. Any time I read a news story about a part of the world that’s exploded into violence, I imagine what it must be like for parents—especially those with small children—living through it. How do they explain what’s happening? How do they comfort their kids when they themselves are terrified? How do they shield their children not only from unthinkable atrocity but from fear itself?
Joseph Fasano’s poem “Words Whispered to a Child Under Siege” hits at the heart of those questions in a scenario that has played out countless times throughout human history. The poem’s narrator is a father trying to comfort his child while they hide from soldiers in their house, and the way he makes a game out of it highlights the lengths parents will go to help children feel safe, even when they objectively aren’t.
Fasano shared the poem on social media and it has been shared tens of thousands of time from different accounts. As one page warned, “Prepare your heart before reading.” It’s solid advice, though it’s hard to know how to prepare for it.
The poem reads:
No, we are not going to die.
The sounds you hear
knocking the windows and chipping the paint
from the ceiling, that is a game
the world is playing.
Our task is to crouch in the dark as long as we can
and count the beats of our own hearts.
Good. Like that. Lay your hand
on my heart and I’ll lay mine on yours.
Which one of us wins
is the one who loves the game the most
while it lasts.
Yes, it is going to last.
You can use your ear instead of your hand.
Here, on my heart.
Why is it beating faster? For you. That’s all.
I always wanted you to be born
and so did the world.
No, those aren’t a stranger’s bootsteps in the house.
Fasano wrote in Instagram, “I hope these words do what words can do sometimes.” They did, judging by the comment section:
“Gorgeously gut wrenching poem to read, and difficult to wrap our minds around the idea that this is and has been far too many people’s reality…I’ve been a fan of your poems for a while. You provide the perfect example I can show my students of how art and writing help us maintain our humanity ❤️“
“Thank you, Mr. Fasano. I have been walking around unable to make sense of anything that is happening in the world and I feel myself shutting down. Your words give voice to everything that I cannot find the words for. Thank you for your poetry. Thank you for sharing.”
“Thank you for this tender and horrifying poem at such a time as this. How necessary your words are.”
Poetry has a way of saying so much in so few words. Here we see a father’s translating his frightened heartbeat and tears of terror into love for his child. We see him calling upon the child’s mother as a way to comfort in an impossible situation. We see him blatantly lying—”You’re safe. Those aren’t bootsteps. Those aren’t flames,” all to keep his child from being afraid.
And the fact that this could be any father in any war zone in any place and time is a heartbreaking reminder of our shared humanity.
No matter the conflict or the rationale behind it, innocent people are the primary victims of war and children always pay the biggest price. When tensions and passions run high, we must remember this: Wars don’t break out between average citizens just trying to live their lives in peace. War is a fight between powers, with men in safe rooms ordering less powerful men to take up arms against their fellow human beings. Average citizens don’t want any part of these conflicts—they just want to take their kids to the park, talk about their days over family dinner and not worry about what games to play with their children if or when the bombs and boots start dropping.
