Wolf Alice embrace their softer side in emotional gig for Teenage Cancer Trust at the Royal Albert Hall

Published by Daniella Wilson

By the very nature of their name, Wolf Alice has always been a band of two halves. As frontwoman Ellie Rowsell recently noted during their Saturday Night Live UK appearance, the moniker perfectly matches their “vibe” – and since the release of their 70s-leaning fourth album The Clearing last year, those vibes have steered away from the ferociousness of their early work. On the flip side, it was their tender, vulnerable side that was on full display on Sunday night as the band brought the 2026 Teenage Cancer Trust concert series to an emotionally charged close at London’s Royal Albert Hall. © PA Images via Getty ImagesWolf Alice performing on stage during the Teenage Cancer Trust show at the Royal Albert Hall, London It was impossible not to be moved by the stories of the brave teenagers affected by cancer who took to the stage before the music began.  Verity, diagnosed with an incurable cancer condition, gave a powerful speech about the great work the charity does.

Steaks, sushi and the softer side of Vegas

Steaks, sushi and the softer side of Vegas

Published by Sam Flores

There’s something about Las Vegas. Its glamour, abundance and sheer scale — a true concrete jungle — can be loved or hated depending on who you ask. But one thing is undeniable: everyone can have a good time in Las Vegas, whether that means catching a show, enjoying nature, indulging in a spa day or settling in for an unforgettable meal. I spent a week in the city while attending SEMA, the massive automotive trade show that takes over the Strip each year. Between work obligations, I made it my mission to explore some of the restaurants, hotels and experiences that make Vegas such a playground for indulgence — from perfectly cooked steaks and inventive contemporary Indian dishes to standout sushi counters, lavish brunches and a few well-earned spa escapes along the way. Where to stay The Cosmopolitan — One of the few hotels on the Las Vegas Strip with balconies, The Cosmopolitan was positively buzzing when I arrived. Body-themed art hangs throughout the property, some far more risqué than I expected, much to my …

Best Natural Beard Oil: Horace Lemon & Mint Beard Oil Horace Lemon & Mint Beard Oil Horace’s beard oil will make a lot of you happy, though for different reasons. For those overwhelmed by scents—particularly artificial ones—you’ll appreciate that its got the subtlest of aromas. I’m partial to the Lemon & Mint one, which reads as “fresh” and never overwhelms. For those looking to stay away from chemicals, Horace’s formula is 99% natural—and the 1% is a synthetic grapeseed oil, not something with 12 syllables, which I’m fine with. The brand gets bonus marks for its easily-understood ingredients labels, which break down these details and err on the side of much-appreciated transparency. Finally, if you’re on the fence about beard oils, Horace will make you a believer. It absorbs fast, gives a pinch of shine, and makes just enough difference in terms of taming, moisturizing, and softening that you’ll see why a beard oil makes sense.

After the Minneapolis shootings, Trump says his administration could use ‘a softer touch’ on immigration

After the Minneapolis shootings, Trump says his administration could use ‘a softer touch’ on immigration

Published by Sam Flores

President Donald Trump told NBC News on Wednesday that he believes his administration could use “a softer touch” in its immigration enforcement operations after federal agents shot and killed two U.S. citizens last month in Minneapolis. “I learned that maybe we could use a little bit of a softer touch. But you still have to be tough,” Trump said in an Oval Office interview with “NBC Nightly News” anchor Tom Llamas. “We’re dealing with really hard criminals. But look, I’ve called the people. I’ve called the governor. I’ve called the mayor. Spoke to ‘em. Had great conversations with them. And then I see them ranting and raving out there. Literally as though a call wasn’t made.” Tune in for even more of Tom Llamas’ interview with President Donald Trump on Super Bowl Sunday on NBC. Trump has been engaged in a weekslong feud with Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, two Democrats who have been highly critical of his immigration crackdown in the city and condemned the fatal shootings of Renee Good …
