Jlo in Elle magazine. The other pictures are better than the one they chose for the cover

EDIT:

“When people ask me, ‘How do I do this? How do I get into this?’ I think to myself, ‘You’re not going to do this.’ Because if you’re going to do this, there is a drive within you that will find a way and you don’t need anybody to tell you, ‘You should do this, or you should do that.’ That’s not how it goes. It’s just knocking on the wall and finding a way. When people ask that question, I go, ‘This person probably is looking for a shortcut.’

—What a great quote. It’s probably my favorite quote in the entire article. It felt like the real essence of who Jennifer is when she’s not “busy” being “sexy voluptuous vamp desirable to all men-but actually clingy desperate whatever.” She sounds like someone who’s been around the block and learned something. If only she acted that way.

—She didn’t mention Ben once. I know it’s the “Women’s” issue but still, it was appreciated.

"Tobin and I have always approached life with a joy for sacredness and we both really appreciate privacy," Press explained. "We both also appreciate that as public figures, there is responsibility and there is opportunity to model lifestyles and relationships and choices that can be unsafe for people or that they can be struggling with."

And Press highlighted the variety of relationships modeled by the USWNT—including ones "that are really loud and bold and those are deeply meaningful for the queer community and more traditional, like mom-dad-and-baby relationships"—as an opportunity for she and Heath to share their home life on their own terms.

"There's a space for the way that Tobin and I operate, which is a quiet and respectful and partnership," Press said, "I think that also lets us have a piece of us that is really sacred and really special."

Not that they aren't delighted by their supporters' interest in their relationship or have failed to notice the slew of excited comments about breaking the Internet every time they post about one another.

"We do love the fans," Press gushed. "We love the love and we totally get the way that everyone shows up for us and everybody feels invested in our story. It actually does touch us."

As for their dynamic as co-hosts [on The RE—CAP Show] versus teammates and life partners, Heath acknowledged that she and Press are "such different individuals, both as footballers and as people," but their differences come together for a "nice dynamic" on the show.

"We both approach our crafts very different, but we are obsessed with our crafts," she continued. "It's a special thing building something with someone that kind of has that same elite mentality."

Hell Gate, as usual, has the best coverage, + now it’s basically the only fair coverage of campus protests. im a couple days late to this one but I was backreading news today and it stood out to me.

#saw some press at my protest and was hoping it was Hell Gate and it was <3 #like it was nice to see press and have it not be so they could write articles like ‘a disgusting display of antisemitism by america���s #coddled minds’ or whatever #palestine #nyc tag #previous post notwithstanding. lmao

Everyone's already seen this mess from National Geographic, right?

Dang, that's some impressively poor journalism. You can see above that National fucking Geographic still apparently entertains Murray's discredited witch-cult hypothesis from the 1930s.

This screencap is from soon after the article went live, and it's since been amended, of course, after people wrote in to complain. Now it describes the Horned God worshipers as "ancient Celts."

The thing is, the Horned God is a Wiccan concept, though. There's ancient horned deities, of course, but no one central horned figure like in Wicca.

So they're kind of just mixing things around at this point? Oh wow. Please try harder, NatGeo!

SYSTEM 002 IN 2022

“We captured our first plastic from the [Great Pacific Garbage Patch] in 2019 with [our ship] System 001/B, and since then we’ve been refining our steering strategy and deepening our understanding of plastic behavior in the oceans.

In 2021 we introduced System 002, and having now demonstrated that our system can consistently harvest significant amounts of plastic, we’re currently in transition to System 03 – our largest and most efficient cleanup system so far.

After demonstrating Proof of Technology the previous year, 2022 was all about cleaning. It was a successful year for The Ocean Cleanup in the GPGP:

System 002: 2022 in numbers

8 trips into the GPGP on cleaning operations

Over 150 days at sea (including transit)

153,000 kg of plastic removed from the GPGP in 2022

4 consecutive trips with catch totals over 25,000 kg

99.9% of catch comprising only plastic

The continuity of cleaning operations during this transition was essential in demonstrating that we are moving towards our efficiency targets and progressing our plan for scale-up. Significant milestones such as the extraction that brought us over the 100,000 kg barrier in the GPGP are documented and shared with our growing community of supporters worldwide, aiding the visibility of our mission and highlighting the urgency of the plastic pollution problem...

PRIORITIZING THE MARINE ENVIRONMENT

We are committed to maximizing our net positive impact on the marine environment. In that light, we place particular importance on one particular figure from our 2022 data: 99.9%. This is the amount of our total catch that consists of plastic, leaving a level of bycatch of 0.1%.

While this is not perfect and we are working hard to reduce it further, we believe this data shows that our mitigation measures and animal protection procedures are working effectively so far. We have also seen a reduction in bycatch rates during the year (see our January 2022 mid-term evaluation) as we implement new learnings and modifications.

Our environmental performance is a result of the measures we have taken since we began our ocean operations. Our systems move very slowly, meaning fish and marine animals can easily swim away, and our crew always has the option of triggering the emergency release to free any animal which has become trapped in the Retention Zone; although this results in the loss of any plastic which has been captured, we keep this option available for any serious encounters.

Upgrades to be implemented during the transition to System 03 include more underwater cameras to allow us to more closely monitor encounters with marine life, and increasing the number of openings throughout the system to allow animals to swim out. We will also be trialing various new deterrent and mitigation measures during 2023, working with our in-house and third-party marine biologists to ensure that we continue to reduce any type of bycatch to the minimal level possible.”

Louis Tomlinson's impressive music has once again sent fans wild.

The chart-topper has today announced a brand new album following days of speculation. Tomlinson, 32, has had fans involved in a global puzzle over the past few days, with secret locations across the world revealing hidden messages. But more information has since been released and fans struggled to contain their excitement.

News of Louis' latest record, LIVE, comes two days after the Doncaster-born musician bagged Artist of the Year at the Northern Music Awards, which has been dubbed the 'BRITs of the north'. Since releasing his debut solo album Walls, in 2020, Louis has gone on to achieve success outside of his former band, One Direction.

His debut record was certified Silver, having peaked at Number 4 on the Official UK Charts, as well as bagging two Top Ten singles and a Number One album, Faith in the Future. But he's set to continue smashing boundaries with LIVE. The 15-track record features a song recorded in different cities at different shows from the past three years.

Over the course of three years, Louis has performed over 170 shows, flying to 47 countries and five continents for his Louis Tomlinson World Tour (2020 - 2022) and Faith in the Future World Tour (2023 - 2024). LIVE, features some of his biggest tracks including Out Of My System, Walls and We Made It, as well as various tracks loved by his fans, Louies, live for the first time.

Speaking about the record, Tomlinson commented: "I've been lucky enough to spend the last 3 years touring the world twice over. The feeling I get sharing those live moments will be with me forever. To be able to record these songs from all over the world and put them out as an album like this feels so special, and a real tribute to the fans who make each and every show feel unique and incredible. Thank you!:

But adding to the mystery, Tomlinson is releasing in both digital, which is out now and physical form. The Physical edition which is released on August 23 includes a double CD and LP picture disc vinyl, along with a Tour Book, with fans being able to submit messages to be included in the publication.

One track which will certainly delight fans is a recording of One Direction's mega-hit, Where Do Broken Hearts Go. Fans have since shared their excitement, with one writing: "'This record is a true collaboration between me and you', SCREAMING, CRYING." A second penned: "I'm fully sobbing right now."

"This live album is a celebration of you coming so far, performing in arenas like O2 and now some of the largest stadiums, and the artist-fan relationship we share. I'm so proud of everything you have achieved," commented a third.

Louis, who has experimented with his sound, including punk rock, indie pop, EDM and soft rock is currently preparing for the final shows of his Faith In The Future World Tour which he kicked off on May 26, 2023, with his final show being on September 8, 2024, as part of Superbloom Festival.

Ben Affleck Is Batman, and Here’s Why That’s Perfect Casting

By:  Jacob Hall

August 23, 2023

By now, you've surely heard the news: Ben Affleck has been cast as Batman in the still unofficially titled ‘Man of Steel 2,’ which will see Superman go toe-to-toe with the Caped Crusader.

The reaction was immediate and intense. For every fan who thought Affleck was a great choice, there was another who was ready to jump off a bridge. For every reasonable conversation about the casting, there was another that made reasonable people want to remove their ears upon hearing "Batfleck." Because that's how much people love Batman; he drives us all to bridge jumping.

However, the simple truth of the matter is that there is no such thing as multiple opinions on the casting of Ben Affleck as Batman. There is only one solid fact: it's terrific. There's no one we'd rather see put on the cape, get behind the wheel of the Batmobile and chuck batarangs at criminals' heads.

You want a good reason? Here are a few..

He’s a Damn Good Looking Man

Look, let's get this one out of the way first: Ben Affleck is an extraordinarily good-looking man with a physique and face that seem like they were specifically crafted by nature for a superhero costume. More importantly, his looks are in line with our new Superman -- like Henry Cavill, Affleck is a man, not some generic, flavor-of-the-week pretty boy. They were never going to get an ugly brute to wear the cape and cowl (although 'The Dark Knight Returns' writer/artist Frank miller would probably prefer it that way), but at least they're casting the right kind of handsome. If you're attracted to Ben Affleck, it's only because you're a human being. (And let's be clear, we're not saying Christian Bale is an ugly brute.)

So, Let’s Talk About Daredevil 

The most common complaint from fans about Affleck's casting as Batman has been to dredge up the debacle that was 2003's 'Daredevil.' They ignore his two Oscars. They ignore 'Hollywoodland,' 'The Company Men,' 'The Town' and 'Argo.' They ignore the fact that he's a completely different man than he was back in his (shudder) "Bennifer" days. All some people can talk about is the fact that he once played a superhero in a terrible movie.

Yes, 'Daredevil' is stilted, boring movie that's somehow managed to age into an even more stilted and boring movie. Yes, Affleck isn't particularly good in it. But let's be honest with ourselves here: Affleck is the least of the film's problems. Can we talk about the lousy screenplay? Can we talk about Mark Steven Johnson's pedestrian direction? Can we talk about every single thing that's wrong with the movie (which will take all day)? Affleck is guilty of being involved in a production that was a clusterfrack from frame one -- of course, he was bad in it! Everyone was bad in it!

If you're going to use 'Daredevil' as a reason why Ben Affleck shouldn't play Batman, your argument is essentially "every actor whose given a poor performance or starred in a lousy movie can't play Batman." Follow that logic and no one plays Batman. Ever.

Aged Like a Fine Wine

A decade ago, Ben Affleck put on skintight leather to play the Marvel superhero Daredevil and the whole world rolled its eyes. What changed? It's quite simple, really. Time has been kind to Affleck. As he's aged, he's grown as an actor and artist, taking on more nuanced, challenging roles and proving himself to be one of the best directors working today. Affleck wears this experience in every film he's in now, appearing less like a cocky young star and more like a guy who's seen it all. It's easy to write off young Affleck -- he was likable but rarely compelling. But 41-year-old Affleck? He's aged into a true movie star, a man of genuine interest.

In the official press release, director Zack Snyder talks about Affleck being able to play both sides of Batman, the charming Bruce Wayne and the tough, vigilant Batman. Directing himself in 'The Town' and 'Argo,' he proved more than capable of playing complicated characters with dual identities, guys whose soft sides mask something far darker, tougher and more violent. Anyone who immediately writes off Affleck has not seen the films he's directed or, more specifically, the performances he's given in films he's directed.

Batman Can Smile, You Know

We liked Bale as Batman as much as the next fanboy, but it's time for a change. We know Bruce Wayne has a lot to be angry about, but that doesn't mean the Caped Crusader can't crack a grin now and then. Bale's stoic, humorless performance was typical for him, but Affleck is a very different kind of actor. He's a naturally funny and charming guy, a performer who can own the stage on 'Saturday Night Live.' Now, we're not saying Affleck should take the Adam West route with his Batman, but we are saying that Affleck can play a Batman who, you know, occasionally feels joy and has amusing things to say to Alfred. Batman can be dark without being mopey, so let Affleck do what he does best and lighten it up just a little bit.

One Classy Motherf———-er

Has any actor really captured Bruce Wayne? While Christian Bale and Michael Keaton made more-than-capable Batmen, their take on the millionaire playboy behind the mask was always a little, well, dull. Bruce was always the least interesting part of Christopher Nolan's 'Dark Knight' trilogy. He was a cipher who occasionally pretended to be a loudmouth rich kid when he wasn't fighting crime. What about the Wayne of the comics? The well-liked philanthropist and social celebrity who acts as a figurehead for Gotham City by day before protecting it behind a mask at night? Affleck is perfect for this half of Batman's existence. Effortlessly classy, charming and suave, he resembles the Bruce Wayne we know and love, more so in everyday life than any actor who's put on the cowl before.

BONUS:  Holy Jawline, Batman!

When you're casting Batman, there's one thing more important than anything else. Sure, good looks, a superheroic physique and strong acting skills are a requirement, but they're all secondary at the end of the day. You see, there is one part of Batman that is more important than any other. If not chosen correctly, it's a tiny detail that could derail the entire film. We are, of course, talking about Batman's chin. If Batman has a bad chin, how the heck is he supposed to make that costume look cool at all? A bad chin and/or jawline will only make the whole thing look silly.

But, ladies and gentlemen, Ben Affleck has one helluva jawline. And that's all you need, really.

It’s funny to read all this and think of the Ben affleck from them and the Ben Affleck of right now (technically he was always this Ben but he and the people around him hid it really well)

Exclusive: previously unseen pictures show the quiet, cool style of Louis Tomlinson.

Take a look into Louis’ style staples, from Dries Van Noten to Sacai, through previously unseen pictures courtesy of Edward Cooke, Charlie Lightening and Joshua Halling for Rolling Stone UK by by Joseph Kocharian.

Louis’ stylist, Helen Seamons has tapped into lad culture, blending it with fashion, with oversized Burberry checks, and bespoke Carlsberg motif knits from Adam Jones, that give a fresh take on nostalgia.

There is a playfulness to the bolder pieces that the singer wears […] with touches of streetwear from Adidas, smiley motifs from Raf Simons and and the trusty Brit-pop staple, the polo shirt.

Louis has cultivated a tactile, super-lux wardrobe with knitted pieces from Denzil Patrick, Dries Van Noten mesh, Balmain prints and heritage collegiate Bode that give a louder aesthetic on stage.

This subtle, detailed-orientation flows through into the formalwear, with intricate Bottega Veneta shirts, suits from one of his trusty favourites, Neil Barrett and metal clasped Givenchy suits.

Louis style isn’t over the top, but it’s carefully detailed and considered and very cool.

See the full gallery reminiscing Louis’ mentioned looks in our twitter.
