| Halsey Went Full Baroque for New Album Cover Halsey has taken over the Metropolitan Museum of Art to unveil the artwork for their upcoming fourth studio album, If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power. Yesterday, the musician released a 13-minute silent video that finds them wandering around New York City’s emblematic enclave. With striking eye makeup, a double nose ring, and a visibly pregnant belly, Halsey walks around until they find Guido Reni’s Charity. The Baroque painting in question features a woman breastfeeding three children. A few steps and a room change later, Halsey stops in front of Duccio di Buoninsegna’s Madonna and Child, also depicting a mother, this time the Virgin Mary, and her child. NBC |

| CDC Cartoon Featuring Girl’s Feces Goes Viral Critics are calling it crappy, and fans are too. It’s a GIF the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention made that warns people not to go to the bathroom in a pool. It’s something even a whistle-twirling lifeguard can’t guard against.

| Britney Spears’s Conservatorship Nightmare On June 22nd, Britney Spears’s management team started getting nervous. Spears, who is thirty-nine, has spent the past thirteen years living under a conservatorship, a legal structure in which a person’s personal, economic, and legal decision-making power is ceded to others. Members of Spears’s team, most of whom have had little or no direct contact with her for years, didn’t expect drastic changes to result. On the eve of the hearing, according both to a person close to Spears and to law enforcement in Ventura County, California, where she lives, Spears called 911 to report herself as a victim of conservatorship abuse.

| Why Can’t We Stop Thinking About That Mark Zuckerberg 4th of July Video? Mark Zuckerberg’s patriotic attempt to seem like a fun, everyday human being backfired — maybe because fun, everyday human beings usually don’t recruit friends to film them on electric foil surfboards with an oversized American flag in hand as “Take Me Home, Country Roads” plays in the distance. “Happy July 4th!” Zuckerberg captioned a 1-minute clip of himself, presumably gliding over a part of the ocean that was not on fire with his giant flag.

Give those eye rolls a rest and peep an award-winning Black-owned shaving and body-care brand founded by a woman who believes beauty shouldn’t come at the expense of your psyche.
