What Else?

A look back at Lily Gladstone’s Cannes wardrobe. My favorite is the silver sequined dress with the duck(?) detail, but I also really like the green gown with the jeweled embellishment. A great Cannes for Lily! (Go Fug Yourself)

Billionaire Larry Connor is partnering with Triton Submarines to build a two-person submersible to take people to the Titanic wreck site, this nearly one year after the OceanGate disaster. Part of me is like “let billionaires do whatever they want with their money and if they die in the process I don’t care”, but part of me is also like, leave the Titanic alone already. It’s a grave. 

Here on the Great Lakes, there is often discussion of sending a crew back to the Edmund Fitzgerald to take new scans and determine once and for all what happened to sink that big boat, but it always comes back to one thing: it’s the grave of the 29 people who died on board, and their families don’t want anyone down there. Respect it! The Titanic isn’t even a mystery like the Edmund Fitzgerald, we know EXACTLY how, when, and why the Titanic sank, and there is PLENTY of extant footage from exploratory trips to the site. No one needs to be going down there to gawk. Anyway, rich people would probably rather we talk about their weird fixation with the Titanic than their weird fixation with ancient Egypt. Billionaires are so weird about ancient Egypt! (Celebitchy)

Pope Francis allegedly used a homophobic slur in a meeting. I know he’s the cool pope and all but like…not shocking? Also apparently he doesn’t want gay men training for the priesthood. My literal brother in Christ, y’all protected too many pedophiles for too long to have the moral high ground on who gets to be a priest now. (OMG Blog)

Session IPAs are basically one of the only types of beer I can drink (because beer tastes bad and is bad), but apparently the “session” label has become a market-killer, and the category is struggling to rebrand to something that doesn’t have “diet” or “weak” vibes. I’ll tell you this much, I am never drinking anything labelled “crushable”. Sparkling wine remains undefeated as a top summer drink! (Eater Punch Drink)
