Lizzo has often discussed issues related to body positivity, both in her music and outside of it. Now she has again addressed the subject, this time taking to TikTok to call out those who are critical of her body.

The minute-long video is a compilation of clips of Lizzo engaging in various types of physical activity and posing in revealing outfits. She says in a voiceover:

“Hey. So I’ve been working out consistently for the last five years, and it may come as a surprise to some of y’all that I’m not working out to have your ideal body type. I’m working out to have my ideal body type. And you know what type that is? None of your f*cking business. Because I am beautiful, I am strong, I do my job, and I stay on my job. So next time you want to come to somebody and judge them, whether they drink kale smoothies or eat McDonalds or work out or not work out, how about you look at your own f*cking self and worry about your own g*ddamn body, because health is not just determined on what you look like on the outside. Health is also what happens on the inside, and a lot of y’all need to do a f*cking cleanse for your insides. Namaste, have a great day.”

Watch the video above.

Lizzo is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Gone with the Wind, the 10-time Academy Award winner and highest-grossing movie of all-time (when adjusted for inflation), was one of the landmarks films available on HBO Max at launch. But the streaming service has since removed the Civil War-set epic, starring Vivien Leigh, Clark Gable, and Hattie McDaniel (who, as “Mammy,” became the first African-American to win an Oscar), due to “racist depictions.”

HBO Max pulled the 1939 film a day after John Ridley, the screenwriter of 12 Years a Slave, wrote an op-ed for the Los Angeles Times calling for its removal. “At a moment when we are all considering what more we can do to fight bigotry and intolerance, I would ask that all content providers look at their libraries and make a good-faith effort to separate programming that might be lacking in its representation from that which is blatant in its demonization,” he wrote. HBO responded with the following statement:

“Gone with the Wind is a product of its time and depicts some of the ethnic and racial prejudices that have, unfortunately, been commonplace in American society. These racist depictions were wrong then and are wrong today, and we felt that to keep this title up without an explanation and a denouncement of those depictions would be irresponsible. These depictions are certainly counter to WarnerMedia’s values, so when we return the film to HBO Max, it will return with a discussion of its historical context and a denouncement of those very depictions, but will be presented as it was originally created, because to do otherwise would be the same as claiming these prejudices never existed. If we are to create a more just, equitable and inclusive future, we must first acknowledge and understand our history.”

So, Gone with the Wind is, ahem, gone for for now, but will be coming back with “a discussion of its historical context” (hopefully without all those war scenes). Unlike Song of the South, which Disney continues to refuse to add to Disney+. As you might imagine, there are a lot of Hot Takes about Gone with the Wind being removed, most of which, frankly, my dear, you shouldn’t give a damn about. But some are good. “My only opinion on Gone with the Wind right now is I find it hilarious so many racists are pretending they want it on HBO Max because it made Hattie McDaniel the first black person to win an Oscar,” Keep It podcast host Ira Madison III wrote on Twitter, later adding, “The people mad about this were never going to watch Gone with the Wind in the first damn place.”

The music industry is an amorphous organism that is subject to frequent change. One of the latest is the phasing out of the word “urban” as a descriptor of a musical style; Republic Records has banned the word internally. Now, the Recording Academy is following suit.

Today, the Academy announced nine major changes to the Grammy nomination and awards process, changes that were ratified at the semiannual Trustees Meeting in May and are effective immediately, as of the upcoming 63rd Annual Grammy Awards. One of the changes is the renaming of the Best Urban Contemporary Album category, which is now known as Best Progressive R&B Album.

Harvey Mason, Jr., Chair and Interim President/CEO of the Recording Academy, spoke about this change (and the others) with Billboard, saying, “There were some uncomfortable feelings around [the term urban]. I think it’s been a gradual shift within in the R&B community. It’s been discussed [within the Academy]. It’s been a little contentious at times.”

The Academy defines the Best Progressive R&B Album category, “This category is intended to highlight albums that include the more progressive elements of R&B and may include samples and elements of hip-hop, rap, dance, and electronic music. It may also incorporate production elements found in pop, euro-pop, country, rock, folk, and alternative.”

That said, the word “urban” actually hasn’t been completely scrubbed from the Grammys: The Best Latin Rock, Urban Or Alternative Album category has been renamed to Best Latin Rock Or Alternative Album, and the “Urban” is now part of the newly renamed Best Latin Pop Or Urban Album (formerly Best Latin Pop Album).

Noting that “urban” doesn’t have the same sensitivity in the Latin music community, Mason said this change “came directly from the community. The urban community, the reggaeton community tend to feel they’re closer in sound to the pop music. This is coming from them. They asked for this change.”

Other categorical changes include the renaming of Best Rap/Sung Performance to Best Melodic Rap Performance, which Mason says “puts an emphasis on the melodic nature of the performance. It opens the door to more forward-thinking and more different genre blends. It makes it a little bit more inclusive to have records that have rap but also melody and lyrics.”

The Best New Artist category has also been impacted, as the rule that prohibited eligible artists from having released more than 30 tracks prior to the start of the current eligibility year has been dropped. Mason explained, “In [some] genres, specifically hip-hop and rap, their mode of development is record and release. We felt it was unfairly punishing artists who are prolifically releasing material early in their careers. We do not want to exclude any artist based on a rule that was specifically affecting one genre more than the other.”

Also, for the first time, the Academy has made their 66-page Grammy rule book, which was previously only available to voting members and other insiders, available online for all to read. So, check that out here, and read more from Mason about the rule changes here.

Alcohol days seem pretty randomly dispersed throughout the year. Whiskey Day is in May, Rum Day falls in August, Beer Day is April — no one is doing the digging to find out why. Maybe one human knew once but not anymore. People like to drink and most excuses to do so are deemed acceptable.

That said, World Gin Day landing on June 13th feels bang on. This un-aged, crystal clear, juniper-infused spirit is full of herbs and botanicals — perfectly suited for summery, refreshing cocktails. Whether you’re pouring a gin & tonic, negroni, or a gimlet, we could spend the whole summer drinking nothing but gin-based drinks and be completely content. (Okay, fine, we’d probably sneak a few drams of whiskey in, too.)

Since we spend a good deal of our time drinking American gins, we decided that World Gin Day would be a good chance to highlight some of the expressions distilled outside the US. To help us curate a list of bottles, we tapped a crew of well-traveled, gin-loving bartenders. From Spain to Ireland to Switzerland to the British Virgin Islands, their answers prove that gin is truly a global spirit.

Beefeater Gin (England)

Danny Caffall, lead bartender at The Mansion Bar in Dallas

I know it’s not the sexiest answer, but there is something to be said for the old school originals. I love Beefeater London Dry. It’s a classic. The citrus really comes through to brighten this one up and it just balances the juniper in a way that is not obnoxious or outlandish as so many gins have become. Call me a simple man, but I like a good, well-balanced, and straightforward London dry.

Plymouth Gin (England)

Nancy Conaway, bartender at Republic Street Bar in Fort Worth, Texas

If I have to pick a non-US gin, I’m going with Plymouth gin. This gin originated in England in the late 1700s. I believe anything that has been around that long is tried and true.

BCN Gin (Spain)

Zack Musick, beverage director at Merriman’s in Hawaii

I love so many gins coming out of Spain right now, but I am particularly intrigued by BCN gin from Barcelona. It’s made from grapes grown in the Priorat region of Spain and it has a beautifully fruity style that separates it from so many other brands.

BVI Gin (British Virgin Islands)

Robert Swain Jr., owner of OnTheRoX Bartending Services in the British Virgin Islands

Not being biased, but the BVI GIN is unmatched in its class. I personally never even liked gin until I tried BVI GIN. Its purity is unmatched and it has a slight hint of hibiscus, angelica root, and a touch of nature’s little secret.

Hayman’s London Dry Gin (England)

Nicole Quist, beverage director at Bartaco in Aventura, Florida

We love Hayman’s London Dry Gin at Bartaco. This year, I was in search of the perfect London dry gin for a little refresh for our signature reviver cocktail. It’s kind of like a “gateway” gin cocktail for us — marrying fresh muddled mint and cucumber with the sweetness of mango nectar and herbal notes of the gin. I found what I was looking for in Hayman’s of London, a 150-year-old family recipe.

The clean citrus, crisp, bold juniper, and dry finish make this my go-to cocktail gin.

Hendrick’s Gin (Scotland)

Vance Henderson, brand ambassador at Hendrick’s Gin

Distilled in Girvan, Scotland, only Hendrick’s uses a marriage of spirits from 11 botanicals and two very different stills. The Carter-Head still produces a light and fragrant spirit whereas the Bennet still yields a rich and robust spirit. The combination of the two is oddly infused with the essence of cucumber and rose petals. In the end, stands a smooth gin that has both the required character and balance of subtle flavors. It’s a unique flavor profile beloved by bartenders across the country and is widely considered one of the driving forces behind the current cocktail revolution.

Drumshanbo Gunpowder Irish Gin (Ireland)

James Simpson, Beverage Director at Espita in Washington, DC

Drumshanbo Gunpowder Irish Gin is a fresh thread in the long history of Gin around the world. Irish meadowsweet, Chinese gunpowder green tea, and Moroccan orris root create an incredible botanical bouquet that makes this bottle balanced and interesting in many classic gin cocktails.

Citadelle Gin (France)

Hayden Miller, head bartender at Bodega Taqueria y Tequila in Miami

Citadelle Gin is hard to beat. I love it because it’s light enough for a glass of ice but able to hold up in a tonic highball. A very versatile gin.

Sipsmith London Dry Gin (England)

Todd Johnston, beverage director at Thompson Nashville

I love Sipsmith Gin out of London. They make a classic London Dry style and for me, it is a bit more complex in the botanical aspect — expressing the expected juniper but with a bright tart citrus cleanness. It’s delicious in a simple gin & tonic.

Right Gin (Switzerland)

Brock Schulte, bar director of The Monarch Bar in Kansas City

Right Gin made in Switzerland is super approachable. They just rebranded to a slightly higher proof and a way more bartender-friendly bottle. It isn’t a juniper bomb which I really like, so it goes great in cocktails and lends perfectly to citrus. Try it in a southside cocktail.

The Botanist Gin (Scotland)

Stephen Kurpinsky, U.S. brand ambassador for Mr Black Cold Brew Coffee Liqueur

One of my favorite gins is The Botanist from Scotland, which is a dry style that uses native botanicals to the island of Islay. It won’t break the bank and is great for cocktails. All the botanicals are foraged on the island of Islay (off the coast of Scotland) where it’s made.
