Truths: part 1

How did Sydney Sweeney, the 29-year-old American actress of fluctuating talent, accumulate an estimated fortune of $40m? By knowing a bargain when she sees one. Bargains, that is, of the patriarchal kind – the sort the Turkish feminist Deniz Kandiyoti theorised in 1988. Her argument was that women can negotiate with patriarchal structures, rather than simply submit to or resist them. They extract what advantages they can: protection, status, money. You do not have to believe in the system, Kandiyoti writes, to make it work for you. And Sweeney has figured this out, and is flapping her $100 bills directly in our scrunched-up, reddening faces. @fayecurran99: Sydney Sweeney has made a deal with the devil newstatesman.com/culture/202…

Ryan Reynolds says ’80s nostalgia “paves over all the trauma” of the “tumultuous” decade: “The 80s was a brutal, brutal time for people. It was a fucking mess and people forget that. It was a tremendous strife. Socio political tensions everywhere. We were still pretty fresh off a Cuban missile crisis, which was only 15-20 years before. It’s a tumultuous period, but you look back at it now and you’re like, ‘Oh, yeah. ‘Top Gun.’ Cocaine!’ Like, ‘No!’ It was really scary.” In Apple TV’s “Mayday,” Reynolds stars as a U.S. Navy pilot who builds an unlikely friendship with an eccentric ex-KGB agent (Kenneth Branagh) obsessed with ’80s American culture. wp.me/pc8uak-1lHH16

Bodycam footage from the Parker Police Department shows the traffic stop, during which an officer told the driver he was traveling at 64 mph in a 45 zone. “I wasn’t driving,” the motorist told police. “That’s assisted driving. Autopilot, sir.” Despite the officer explaining that drivers are legally responsible for operating their vehicle, the motorist was adamant that his he was not at fault for breaking the speed limit, and demanded to speak to the officer’s supervisor. “No matter what technology your vehicle has, the person behind the wheel is accountable for the vehicle’s actions,” police said in a social media post. “These systems are designed to assist you, not drive for you.”

Jennifer Lawrence says filming her first sex scene with a married man caused her so much anxiety she got drunk and called her mom for comfort "I had my first real s£x scene a couple weeks ago and it was really bizarre. It was really weird." "What do you mean real s£x scene, penetration?" "No, thank you for clarifying that." "How do you prepare for that?" "I got really, really drunk. But then that led to more anxiety when I got home, because I was like, 'What have I done?'"

This is real. "We're delighted to announce that one of our incredible volunteers at KRIMMZ Youth Club in Bolton, was this week awarded with the British Citizen Award! She received the award at the Palace of Westminster in recognition of her work empowering young women."

Today, Tamir Rice would have turned 24 years old. He was 12 when Cleveland police shot and killed him within seconds of arriving on the scene for playing with a toy gun in a park. No warning. No de-escalation. No accountability. The officer who pulled that trigger was never charged. Never convicted. Never held responsible for taking the life of a child. Tamir deserved to grow up. He deserved his 24th birthday. He deserved justice. We will never stop saying his name. Happy Heavenly Birthday, Tamir. 🕊️
