“It breaks my heart because America had the choice between a woman and a dangerous, dangerous jar of mayonnaise. And they were like, Well, we can’t have a woman. Let’s go with the jar of mayonnaise.” And now, thanks to Supreme Court justices appointed by that dangerous jar of mayonnaise, the unthinkable had happened. “I don’t want to disparage my family, but I know that a lot of people are in a similar position with their families. How could you raise a daughter from birth and believe that she doesn’t deserve equality? How?”

Beyoncé returns to Tiffany & Co, starring in the global luxury brand’s newest campaign, ‘Lose Yourself in Love,’ which is all about “celebrating individuality, love, and universal connection.” The campaign is “a fiercely elegant homage to the joy of being one’s unapologetic self.”
Beyoncé is “honored to explore even deeper how beautiful our connections are, when we truly celebrate the relationship and importance of love that we have for ourselves as individuals.” This form of self-love — so often ridiculed as being selfish and self-obsessed — is key to forming thriving relationships with other people.
Models Lara Mullen, Lassina Karamoko and Mika Schneider pose in one of Fall 2022’s most delightful campaigns: Hermès. Up on Hermès’ roof, the collections of objects come to life and scarves flutter in the wind, for an airy, carefree afternoon.
The trio are styled by Charlotte Collet in images by Arnaud Lajeunie. Photographer Hans Neumann shoots the video and also stills focused more on the home and gifts collection.
In the campaign marketing text, Graff made a word salad describing Night Moon, Graff Gateway and New Dawn groups in the collection in this way:
“From a poetic spark of inspiration to a magnificent collection of jewels that speak to the soul about the eternal beauty of nature, the Tribal collection captures the essence of what it is to be human.”
These words perhaps better describe modern life in South Africa’s Atlantis Dunes, where extreme adventure sports including sandboarding define the landscape. Had Graff wanted to speak to the Tribal collection’s capturing the essence of what it is to be human”, the campaign would have been shot 15 hours away by car in at the Sterkfontein Caves, at a UNESCO World Heritage site known as the Cradle of Humankind.

Without using the exact phrase “separation of church and state” the First Amendment to the Constitution is generally considered to clarify America’s objection to a national religion and a political governing body known as a theocracy.
The Wokes presume that the “stinking letter” Congresswoman and theocrat Lauren Boebert refers to is America’s third president from 1802-1809 Thomas Jefferson’s 1802 missive to the Danbury Baptist Association.
In it, Jefferson wrote that the First Amendment had essentially built "a wall of separation" between church and state.
Actor Kim Tae-ri is regarded as a “dynamite” screen presence, and her current debut in the Korean sci-fi film ‘Alienoid’ only enhances her talented reputation, firmly cememted in her role in ‘The Handmaiden’ [2016].
Writing for the New York Times, Elisabeth Vincentelli goes from befuddled and skeptical to enthusiastic in her ‘Alienoid’ commentary that it seems as if director [Dong-hoon] Choi “was drunk on pure filmmaking pleasure and threw every cinematic genre into a gigantic blender.”
