Brittany Broski Says She’ll Bring Fangirl Energy as Vanity Fair Oscar Party Livestream Host

Brittany Broski Says She’ll Bring Fangirl Energy as Vanity Fair Oscar Party Livestream Host

Published by Sam Flores

A few Oscars moments stick with Brittany Broski. The year Leonardo DiCaprio finally won best actor for The Revenant in 2016. Decades earlier, when Marlon Brando sent Native activist Sacheen Littlefeather to decline his 1973 best-actor trophy in protest of the film industry’s treatment of Native Americans. And as a documented Cillian Murphy fan, “Oppenheimer year, I was locked in,” Broski tells Vanity Fair of the 2024 ceremony, in which the Christopher Nolan film earned seven Oscars, including best picture, best actor for Murphy, and supporting actor for Robert Downey Jr. “When RDJ won that award?” Broski shakes her head at the memory, adding in the giddy, slightly exaggerated Southern twang familiar to her 20.1 million followers, “He’s my dad.” Broski is bringing her signature frenetic energy to the Vanity Fair Oscar Party 2026 on March 15, where she’ll host the livestream of star-studded red-carpet arrivals alongside fellow internet celebrities Quenlin Blackwell and Jake Shane. The Texas-born Broski parlayed a viral 2019 meme of her sampling some kombucha into a Super Bowl ad, a popular …

These L.A. mariachis bring authenticity to Bruno Mars’ viral music video

These L.A. mariachis bring authenticity to Bruno Mars’ viral music video

Published by Sam Flores

After a decade-long wait, Bruno Mars released his highly anticipated fourth solo studio album, “The Romantic,” on Friday . The nine-track project kicks off with one of the most saccharine forms of affection known to man: a traditional Mexican serenade. The day before the album debuted, Mars released his music video for “Risk it All,” a bolero imbued with wailing mariachi trumpets and violins. Directed by Mars and Fresno’s Daniel Ramos, the video notably guest-stars the Los Angeles band Mariachi Los Criollos de Guadalajara, who can be seen playing outside the Guardian Angel Catholic Church in East Hollywood. According to bandleader Joel Jacques, the mariachi band was hired to pretend to play the instruments — but after taping a few takes using the yet-to-be-released recording, the group ended up memorizing the exact musical notes by ear. “Many artists don’t get real musicians,” says Jacques, who played the guitarrón, an acoustic bass guitar, in the video. “So when you see a music video, you can often see that people don’t play the real notes, but if …

How the US and Israel hope to bring down the regime

A satellite image of Tehran, with what appears to be a plume of black smoke rising from the compound of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, after an airstrike. According to Israel’s Channel 12, the joint US-Israeli operation against Iran involved dropping 30 bombs on Khamenei’s compound on February 28, 2026. PLANET LABS PBC 2026/AFP The Iranian regime’s collapse: This was the maximalist objective that the United States and Israel sought with the war they launched in Iran on Saturday, February 28. Though they didn’t explicitly state this aim as they laid out their plans in detail, their goal was clear from the very first hours of the conflict, those crucial moments which could be decisive for the entire operation. They had a vast list of targets: Iran’s nuclear facilities, missile arsenal, retaliatory capabilities and internal security system. One target sat at the top of this list: the supreme leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Ali Khamenei. His death was announced by US President Donald Trump, before Iranian state media later confirmed it, at …

‘The limits of American power’: Will killing Khamenei bring regime change in Iran?

Published by Sam Flores

The revelation that Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed in a wave of US-Israeli air strikes on Saturday has thrown the Islamic Republic’s future into doubt, with US President Donald Trump saying the leader’s death gave Iranians their “greatest chance” to “take back” their country. FRANCE 24 spoke with former NATO vice chief-of-staff Michel Yakovleff about whether or not the Iranian government would be able to weather the latest US-Israeli bombardments – and what the Islamic Republic’s survival would mean for the limits of Washington’s unparalleled military might.

I think we’re going to go into more days of strikes, and strikes from the Iranians. My concern is that the American strategy is much more short-lived than the Iranian strategy. The regime’s theory of victory is that we just outlast the storm. So when the Americans and/or the Israelis get fed up, we send a last salvo to …

What Straight Men Bring Up Most Often In Sex Therapy

What Straight Men Bring Up Most Often In Sex Therapy

Published by Sam Flores

Sexologist comment provided by licensed sexologist, relationship therapist, and author at Passionerad, Sofie Roos. Sexologist and therapist Sofie Roos tells me that, in her job, “straight men regularly seek my help to get guidance” on their sex lives. In fact, she said, “I want straight men to know that they’re far from alone” when it comes to physical and mental issues in the bedroom. Here, she told HuffPost UK about what straight men bring up the most in her sessions. Erectile changes are the most common topic Roos hears Issues like erectile dysfunction are the “main reason for hetero men seek professional help,” Roos said. That can include getting and/or keeping an erection. “Stress, performance anxiety, and increased age are the most common causes.” The sexologist said premature ejaculation is the next most common topic. Thirdly, straight men often come to Roos with concerns about “problematically high and low libido, where a high interest in sex feels difficult to control… while a low libido often negatively affects romantic relationships”. And body image concerns, like “being …

Accessible Walks Bring the Joys of Birding to People With Mobility and Other Limitations

Accessible Walks Bring the Joys of Birding to People With Mobility and Other Limitations

Published by Sam Flores

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — Wearing an oxygen pack on her back for her COPD, Marcia OBara is leading a group of nature enthusiasts on a mission to see birds. They carry walking sticks on the flat trails, moving at their own pace, without pressure or competition and enjoying a sense of community. This is Birding for Every BODY, one of numerous such excursions offered each month by the nonprofit Tucson Bird Alliance with Arizona’s Pima County. It’s part of a growing national movement to help people with physical and other limitations experience birding and nature in general. “It’s an opportunity for people to get out and see birds without pressure, no matter how long it takes or how many birds we see,” said OBara, a retired nurse who has been leading the accessible outings for three years. She said disabled people often cannot keep up on traditional outings, especially when competitive birders are focused on checking off a list of the greatest possible number of species. For her accessible walks, OBara ensures that all trails …

Bring on the Sex Scenes

Published by Daniella Wilson

When Philip Roth published his novel Zuckerman Unbound 45 years ago, The New York Times called it an “act of contrition.” The literary critic George Stade read it as an autobiographical account of Roth’s experiences as the author of Portnoy’s Complaint, the virtuosically neurotic tale of a nice Jewish boy trying to either shake or embrace his sex obsession, which made Roth famous when it came out, in 1969. Portnoy is a tremendous novel: I’m on record in this magazine arguing that it’s a great American one. Upon its release, though, it got decidedly mixed reactions. Readers, rabbis, and reviewers accused Roth of anti-Semitism, misogyny, sexual excess, deviance, and creative gimmickry. In Commentary, Irving Howe wittily if wrongly claimed that the “cruelest thing anyone can do with Portnoy’s Complaint is to read it twice.” In Zuckerman Unbound, Roth’s recurring stand-in, Nathan Zuckerman, seems to regret having written his version of Portnoy’s Complaint at all. He accuses himself of betraying every woman who has ever been “bound to him by trust, by sex, by love.” His …

Bring in Dutch water experts to stop the endless cycle of flooding in Britain | Flooding

Published by Jenni Sidey

In the Netherlands, much of which is below sea level, we have not had a single square metre of flooding since 1953 (‘Homes may have to be abandoned’: how climate crisis has reshaped Britain’s flood risk, 31 January). In that year, a storm surge erupted in the North Sea, engulfing much of East Anglia as well as the Dutch province of Zeeland. The Dutch built the Delta Works to fix this; the English did nothing. Years of investment in land reclamation and flood-defence experience were brought into play. The Netherlands handles the delta/distributaries of two of Europe’s greatest rivers – the Rhine (Rijn) and the Meuse (Maas). I live five metres from a major inland waterway and the level does not change. My cousin lives in Somerset (twinned with Atlantis) and is already on his third flooding of 2026. I live also around 150 metres from the sea – separated from my immediate water by a sluis that works both ways: preventing high sea water from entering, and releasing fresh water at low tide. We …
