Surely you've already heard the biggest culture news of the day: That's right, pumpkin spice lattes are back, baby! Just kidding, I'm obviously talking about Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce announcing their engagement in the most floral-laden, diamond-draped, smoochy-boochy Instagram carousel of all time, racking up more than 1.8 million likes in less than 20 minutes after it was posted, according to Reuters. The engagement photo shoot has everything (except details about the when/why/where of it all, naturally, but everything else): what appears to be a whopping cushion-cut diamond that some estimate to be around 10 carats, his-and-hers Ralph Lauren, the diamond-encrusted Cartier watch Swift keeps wearing, a…flower chandelier? (Pumpkin spice lattes really are back though too.)
In other-other news, Gavin Newsom is doing some decidedly less floral social media posting of his own; Amanda Seyfried on the radical life of Shaker founder Ann Lee, and more. Stay tuned for more, as the world Swift-ly turns. |
In 2025, crypto holdings reportedly account for anywhere between 10% to nearly all of Donald Trump's wealth, a truly wild turn of events given that (1) he spent most of his adult life associated with the real estate and entertainment industries, and (2) he once claimed digital assets were "based on thin air" and called bitcoin a "scam." Now the president is all in, hosting meme-coin dinners, launching NFT collections, signing executive orders to allow crypto in 401(k)s, and announcing plans to create a "strategic national bitcoin stockpile."
But the president of the United States and his family aren't the only ones making huge sums of money from the crypto world. From a college dropout to a former investment banker to a guy with a 28-bedroom "mega-villa," here are this summer's newest billionaires. |

Before she emerged as a founding leader of the Shakers in the mid-18th century, Ann Lee gave birth to four children. All of them died in infancy. Lee grieved these losses in quick succession, then dreamed up a rebellious Christian sect that advocated for total celibacy, the abandonment of marriage, and female leadership. Mona Fastvold's new film, The Testament of Ann Lee, imagines Lee's personal tragedy as a fateful turning point—dramatizing it as an alternately ecstatic and harrowing musical sequence, choreographed with precision and performed at an operatic scale by star Amanda Seyfried. The star pushed herself like never before: "I was like, 'So, basically, we can do whatever the fuck we want.'"
Ahead, a first look at Mona Fastvold's innovative, epic portrait of the Shakers' founding leader. |
