Salma Hayek famously has a pet owl, Kering, which she named after the business where her husband, François-Henri Pinault, is chairman and CEO. In April, she and the owl were featured in People’s Most Beautiful issue, and as the story goes, Kering is a rescue Hayek persuaded François-Henri to bring into their home.…

In the Bourne film franchise, Julia Styles plays a high-level cleaner of sorts.

In the early 2010s, Tumblr mainstreamed everything from social justice warriors to softgrunge. And as someone in my 20s at the time, the so-called Tumblr aesthetic had a serious hold on me. I’m talking the perfect skinny mom jean, Fjallraven backpacks, tucked-in thrift store t-shirts, and normcore bullshit; the…

The Irish singer-songwriter showed up to the party with her head shorn and her mouth full of fuck yous to various establishments, and she hasn’t backed down in the years since her searing 1987 debut The Lion and the…

Because the…

On Monday, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene “apologized” for comparing mask mandates to the Holocaust, a sentence that cannot be written without the proper scare quotes. This is to say: While Greene technically uttered the words “I’d like to apologize” and “I’m very sorry” during the press conference, it would be foolish…

Corporate rebrandings for Pride month—rainbow Twitter avatars, cringe-inducing ads, you name it—are cynical enough on their own, contributing to the commercialization and depoliticization of the movement for gay liberation.
