A woman weaves a man out of sticks and he turns out to be the best husband in the village. Say what you want about wicker, at least he showed up!
Check out Olivia Colman plays an ostracized fisherwoman who commissions the village basketmaker to weave her a husband out of wicker, in the brand new trailer after the jump!
The FBI director sued California blogger Jim Stewartson for $10 million over a string of insults, “googly-eyed Kremlin bitch” being the headline act alongside “blatantly incompetent chud” and accusations of being a “Kremlin asset.” Patel actually won on paper first, a $250,000 default judgment landed in his lap last August when Stewartson didn’t bother showing up to defend himself.
Then Stewartson showed up. He argued the case never belonged in Nevada to begin with, since he’s a Californian with zero meaningful ties to the state, and Chief District Judge Andrew Gordon agreed, tossing the whole thing for lack of jurisdiction…
Our music editor ED has curated a special selection of newly released Pride-ready music for the OMG Playlist on Qobuz and Spotify (follow us @omgblog)
One of our favorite releases this month has to be Kelela‘s New Avatar. She’s giving us a cool, sexy breeze in the middle of the summer. “The Bridge,” featuring PinkPantheress, is effortlessly alluring with both artists’ silky high registers sounding smooth like butter.
Another dangerously hypnotic release from the last month is Eartheater‘s If I’m The Bottle You’re the Message. The album is experimental, textured, and full of catchy-emotional songwriting. Eartheater reflects on motherhood, the visceral parts of pregnancy, and the love of her daughter. If these are things you can’t relate to, it’s still a a beautiful listen!
Madonna is back, and she’s given us a collection of earworms with Confessions 2! We might even have to call it the album of the summer. It’s hard to pick a favourite, but “Danceteria” might be her catchiest song since “Hung Up.” We also love the easter eggs throughout-—from the Loud Reed interpolation to the iconic synth break from Music. Thank you, Madonna!!
It doesn’t end there! Listen to the entire playlist a listen, after the jump!

Nothing tests a fandom’s loyalty like a week of understudy announcements, and Meg Stalter‘s bronchitis-induced absence from Oh, Mary! had ticket holders refreshing their inboxes with dread.
But Meg’s back at the Lyceum! Stalter took over Cole Escola‘s role in the Mary Todd Lincoln fever dream on July 6 for a ten-week run, and the numbers suggest she’s not just riding the show’s existing buzz. She’s greeting fans at the stage door, the tickets are moving, and there’s a September 12 expiration date on it, if you were looking to go, let’s hope you got em!
