During an interview on the podcast Wiser Than Me With Julia Louis-Dreyfus, host Julia Louis-Dreyfus asked Baez about her feelings on younger artists who haven’t voiced concerns about the abuses of the Trump administration. “There’s a whole generation of really talented artists who are quite silent about the current assault on democracy,” Louis-Dreyfus said. “Do you find that unbelievably frustrating or do you understand, perhaps, where those artists are coming from?” “I think I understand where they’re coming from,” Baez…

Named after the French aviator, Roland Garros lies in Paris’s 16th arrondissement and is the only major to be played on clay courts.

A suspected geyser that burst from the pig pens and backyard of a small Mexican farm this week has prompted evacuations, a school closure and a multi-agency scientific response, according to state and federal officials. The hydrothermal eruption began overnight Monday in the rural community of El Salitre, about 135 kilometers west of Morelia, the capital of the west-central state of Michoacán. Water, mud and gases began spewing from “the middle of pig pens on a small family farm,” according to authorities. As of late Wednesday morning, the geyser-like phenomenon was still active, though in a reduced, bubbling-mud state with constant…

Crazy to think of a time when I’d rather hear anyone but Bladee on a track. The Swede’s quaint, throaty delivery made so much of his earlier, unpolished work feel draped in irony, as though anybody bumping his music was part of some inside joke. But because of his malleability and knack for uncanny melody, I grew to love the same qualities I used to reject. He never needed to explain himself. Bladee’s sometimes-playful, always-nihilistic autofiction has made his presence a guiding light, one that’s changed hues and cast new shadows over time. The anecdotes he’s penned–on ego death, on shopping…
President Donald Trump’s remarks at a Cabinet meeting differed from his statements over the weekend that an agreement to end the war with Iran was close.
“It’s where he belongs,” Grant Cornock says, smiling. “I messaged him after the game and said exactly that: ‘That’s your level, this is what you’re capable of’.”Cornock is talking about Myles Lewis-Skelly leaving Arsenal’s pitch to a standing ovation in a Champions League semi-final three weeks ago. Or, to put it another way, the holder of the Year 7 shot put record at Aldenham School, in Hertfordshire, turning it on against Atletico Madrid in central midfield before winning the Premier League title.“Myles threw the shot 11 metres 75cm (aged 11),” adds Cornock, who is the director of sport at Aldenham…
