Seems to get a new one every week. Florence Welch? Most of her tattoos appear to be DIY. Miley Cyrus has a smiley face on her ankle that her friend Cheyne Thomas did, and we imagine it's not alone.

Friends giving each other DIY tattoos is one of the single greatest bonding experiences two people can have. Aside from anything else, marking a specific minute in time, right then and there, while you're swept up in a moment, is not possible to do professionally if it's three in the morning, or you're poor, or there's a waiting list at the tattoo shop.

(Has anyone mentioned to Jaden that Four Seasons pancakes probably already contain eggs and milk? Does Jaden know what vegans are allowed to eat?)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, all of this, while incredibly entertaining, seems, in the grand Twitter-related scheme of things, rather petty as long as we have an acting President who uses Twitter as a means to shame his perceived enemies, rant about foreign affairs, and disparage media outlets. For his supporters, \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump\">President Trump\u003c/a>'s Twitter account is the stuff of dreams -- a window into every idea he has, as he has it; for his detractors, it's a \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-41fbDYZyLo\">national embarrassment\u003c/a>; and for almost everyone watching, it is extraordinarily surreal to see a POTUS communicating with the world in this manner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is no doubt that future generations will look back on this moment in time and see Twitter as an absolute game-changer in the political sphere. But truthfully, Twitter has been having a seismic impact on how the world interacts with itself, and its famous people, for years now. This particular form of social media has absolutely changed not only the nature of how popular culture is disseminated and discussed, it has forever altered the proximity we are able to feel to our heroes. For all intents and purposes, if a celebrity is on Twitter, the world has a direct line to them.

If the original \u003cem>Dirty Dancing\u003c/em> didn't need to be 3-hours, it is unabashed madness to assume anyone would want this one to be.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>1987's \u003ca href=\"http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0092890/?ref_=nv_sr_2\">\u003cem>Dirty Dancing\u003c/em>\u003c/a> is a ridiculous film with a frequently insane script, but it remains much-beloved around the world because of its magical combination of '60s nostalgia, super-cute wardrobe, great soundtrack and, above all else, the electric chemistry between Jennifer Grey and Patrick Swayze. It is, unequivocally, a film that never, ever needed to be re-made. And if anyone was going to insist on doing something so foolish,that entity should have been a major movie studio, not ABC.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite featuring some solid talent -- \u003ca href=\"http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0405103/\">Sarah Hyland\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0970122/?ref_=nv_sr_1\">Nicole Scherzinger\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005226/?ref_=nv_sr_1\">Debra Messing\u003c/a> all do the best with what they're given -- this thing is almost entirely lacking in any sense. The warning signs came early. \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BgyaquCP6uk\">ET\u003c/a>, speaking to Abigail Breslin in a recent episode, as part of a preview for \u003cem>Dirty Dancing,\u003c/em> pointed out that the \u003ca href=\"http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0449059/?ref_=nv_sr_1\">\u003cem>Little Miss Sunshine\u003c/em>\u003c/a> star had \"absolutely no dance experience.\" Breslin herself admitted as much: \"I was like ‘I wanna be like Baby. I wanna dance like that, but I’m the most uncoordinated human being on the face of the Earth, so it didn’t seem like a likely scenario for me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes, everyone, ABC cast a non-dancer as the lead in a movie about dancing. And that one little nugget of info serves to symbolize the essence of everything that happened on our televisions last night. Breslin tried her adorable best -- in many ways out-charming Jennifer Grey's whiny Baby -- but her lack of grace on the dance floor was a major stumbling block and a serious oversight on the part of the producers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And as for Patrick Swayze's replacement, Colt Prattes? Swayze's shoes are simply too big for anyone to fill. And while Prattes has all of the abs, he's somehow lacking the sexual dynamism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-82492\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2017/05/swayze-gif.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Truly, ABC's \u003cem>Dirty Dancing\u003c/em> is a remake for people who want to see the original done with less dirt and worse dancing. And that's true, even after the added scenes where Scherzinger teaches Breslin about the power of her womanly groin. (No joke.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ABC's \u003cem>Dirty Dancing\u003c/em> has a weaker soundtrack too -- modern day covers of the golden oldies and \u003cem>DD\u003c/em> classics (including, criminally, Swayze's own \"She's Like the Wind\") that made the original so special, with some bizarre musical interludes thrown in. Like the part when Baby's dad finds out she has spent the night with Johnny and responds by going to the dance studio and inexplicably singing Frank Sinatra's \"They Can't Take That Away From Me\" to himself on the piano. Also, did anyone want or need the final dance routine to be performed as a group vocal number where even the parents join in? The answer is no. Just... please, no.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There's a lot to complain about when it comes to the fad of live television musicals, but somehow, remarkably, last night's \u003cem>Dirty Dancing\u003c/em> -- utterly confused about what it wanted to be -- actually made it possible to miss the productions that commit all the way. At least when things are live, the promise of things going wrong at any given moment is tantalizingly there. ABC's \u003cem>Dirty Dancing\u003c/em> was all kinds of wrong -- just not in the fun ways.\u003c/p>\n\n",

If the original \u003cem>Dirty Dancing\u003c/em> didn't need to be 3-hours, it is unabashed madness to assume anyone would want this one to be.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>1987's \u003ca href=\"http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0092890/?ref_=nv_sr_2\">\u003cem>Dirty Dancing\u003c/em>\u003c/a> is a ridiculous film with a frequently insane script, but it remains much-beloved around the world because of its magical combination of '60s nostalgia, super-cute wardrobe, great soundtrack and, above all else, the electric chemistry between Jennifer Grey and Patrick Swayze. It is, unequivocally, a film that never, ever needed to be re-made. And if anyone was going to insist on doing something so foolish,that entity should have been a major movie studio, not ABC.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite featuring some solid talent -- \u003ca href=\"http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0405103/\">Sarah Hyland\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0970122/?ref_=nv_sr_1\">Nicole Scherzinger\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005226/?ref_=nv_sr_1\">Debra Messing\u003c/a> all do the best with what they're given -- this thing is almost entirely lacking in any sense. The warning signs came early. \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BgyaquCP6uk\">ET\u003c/a>, speaking to Abigail Breslin in a recent episode, as part of a preview for \u003cem>Dirty Dancing,\u003c/em> pointed out that the \u003ca href=\"http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0449059/?ref_=nv_sr_1\">\u003cem>Little Miss Sunshine\u003c/em>\u003c/a> star had \"absolutely no dance experience.\" Breslin herself admitted as much: \"I was like ‘I wanna be like Baby. I wanna dance like that, but I’m the most uncoordinated human being on the face of the Earth, so it didn’t seem like a likely scenario for me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes, everyone, ABC cast a non-dancer as the lead in a movie about dancing. And that one little nugget of info serves to symbolize the essence of everything that happened on our televisions last night. Breslin tried her adorable best -- in many ways out-charming Jennifer Grey's whiny Baby -- but her lack of grace on the dance floor was a major stumbling block and a serious oversight on the part of the producers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And as for Patrick Swayze's replacement, Colt Prattes? Swayze's shoes are simply too big for anyone to fill. And while Prattes has all of the abs, he's somehow lacking the sexual dynamism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-82492\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2017/05/swayze-gif.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Truly, ABC's \u003cem>Dirty Dancing\u003c/em> is a remake for people who want to see the original done with less dirt and worse dancing. And that's true, even after the added scenes where Scherzinger teaches Breslin about the power of her womanly groin. (No joke.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ABC's \u003cem>Dirty Dancing\u003c/em> has a weaker soundtrack too -- modern day covers of the golden oldies and \u003cem>DD\u003c/em> classics (including, criminally, Swayze's own \"She's Like the Wind\") that made the original so special, with some bizarre musical interludes thrown in. Like the part when Baby's dad finds out she has spent the night with Johnny and responds by going to the dance studio and inexplicably singing Frank Sinatra's \"They Can't Take That Away From Me\" to himself on the piano. Also, did anyone want or need the final dance routine to be performed as a group vocal number where even the parents join in? The answer is no. Just... please, no.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There's a lot to complain about when it comes to the fad of live television musicals, but somehow, remarkably, last night's \u003cem>Dirty Dancing\u003c/em> -- utterly confused about what it wanted to be -- actually made it possible to miss the productions that commit all the way. At least when things are live, the promise of things going wrong at any given moment is tantalizingly there. ABC's \u003cem>Dirty Dancing\u003c/em> was all kinds of wrong -- just not in the fun ways.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Sometimes, it can feel a little bit like everyone is scared to step off that path, lest they be in violation of some obscure royal protocol. Thankfully, John Oliver's \u003cem>Last Week Tonight\u003c/em> has offered a hilarious exception to the rule:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2m5_NTq19c\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The key thing to note, in regards to Oliver, is that not only is he one of the only journalists in America offering a critical look at the monarchy, he also happens to be English himself. He is a reflection of the fact that, while America frequently assumes that the UK is packed, coast-to-coast, with people who adore the Queen and her extended family, the truth is a lot more complicated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postid='arts_13919284']There are, of course, thousands of traditionalists on the royal family's home soil who are married to the idea that Britain without a monarchy would simply be terribly un-British. And truthfully, polls repeatedly show that a majority of British citizens back hanging onto the monarchy. But it should also be taken into account that the UK is awash with people who despise having a royal family and would jump at the chance to get rid of it—something rarely touched upon in international coverage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.republic.org.uk/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Republic.org.uk\u003c/a> is the most organized and vocal wing of the anti-royal movement.

Yes, there is an entire organization in England right now, just waiting for the Queen to die, so they can attempt to get rid of her family in its entirety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you want to get a better sense of how different royal coverage is in the British media versus the American one, a quick Google search turns up a wealth of proof that the family's position at the top of the national hierarchy is up for regular discussion and not exactly a done deal. \"\u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/jan/29/royals-want-new-boiler-we-pay-for-it\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Why are we subsidizing the royal family at a time of gross inequality?\u003c/a>\" asked \u003cem>The Guardian \u003c/em>in 2014. Earlier this year, \u003cem>Huffington Post UK\u003c/em> published an article titled \"\u003ca href=\"http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/john-reynolds/monarchy_b_9086330.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Is it Time to Scrap the Monarchy\u003c/a>?\" Even pro-royal newspapers like \u003ca href=\"http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3535054/Why-fear-monarchy-die-Queen-controversial-view-royal-historian-eve-Queen-s-90th-birthday.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cem>The Daily Mail\u003c/em>\u003c/a> seem to think the family's days in power might be drawing to a close.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The truth is, a fair amount of Brits just don't particularly like having to pay for the gilded lifestyles of wealthy overlords. Since 2012, the royal family has been funded by something called \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sovereign_Grant_Act_2011\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Sovereign Grant\u003c/a>. The system before that was more convoluted, but the principal was the same: it is and always has been British taxpayers that pay for the royal family to go about their business. This year, they are expected to receive £45.6 million simply for being born into the right gene pool.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postid='arts_13908090']Some outside estimates that make a point of factoring in additional security expenses—incurred by both the Metropolitan Police and local councils—claim that the cost to the UK taxpayer for the royal family annually is actually \u003ca href=\"http://home.bt.com/lifestyle/money/mortgages-bills/how-much-does-the-royal-family-cost-11363982445194\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">closer to £300 million\u003c/a>. Which, for a nation of only 65 million people, can be a bitter pill to swallow—especially in the midst of \u003ca href=\"https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2017/05/22/tory-m22.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ever-tightening austerity\u003c/a> measures and a currency currently struggling under the weight of \u003ca href=\"http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-32810887\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Brexit\u003c/a>-related uncertainty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The main argument around keeping the royal family in place is related to tourism. In 2015, \u003ca href=\"http://brandfinance.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Brand Finance\u003c/a> estimated that, even after the family's exorbitant expenses, the British monarchy still brought \u003ca href=\"http://www.businessinsider.com/the-queen-and-the-uk-royal-family-contribution-to-the-uk-economy-2015-9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">£1.155 billion ($1.8 billion)\u003c/a> into the UK economy. What this doesn't factor in, however, is the fact that tourists don't come to Britain to hang out with the royal family—they come to see the \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_British_royal_residences\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">palaces\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/destinations/europe/united-kingdom/galleries/Britains-best-stately-homes/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">manors\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_castles_in_Wales\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">castles\u003c/a> dotted around the entirety of the UK, as well as the \u003ca href=\"https://www.thedungeons.com/london/en/?utm_expid=34602403-50.K3zVR3ctQ8aoJCUpT6nHYA.0&utm_referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dungeons\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tower_of_London\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tower of London\u003c/a>, associated with the long history of the nation. Arguably, those would still be attractions, whether or not the royal family still existed. In fact, not having a Queen living in there would probably open the doors of Buckingham Palace to the public to a much greater degree than is \u003ca href=\"https://www.royalcollection.org.uk/visit/the-state-rooms-buckingham-palace/plan-your-visit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">currently on offer\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2014, 69% of people taking part in an \u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2012/may/24/queen-diamond-jubilee-record-support\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ICM poll\u003c/a> said Britain would be worse off without a monarchy. In 2016, according to a poll of 1,000 people, \u003ca href=\"http://metro.co.uk/2016/04/20/this-is-how-many-british-people-want-to-get-rid-of-the-queen-and-have-a-republic-5830076/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">conducted by \u003cem>the Independent\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, that figure had risen—probably buoyed by the Queen's Jubilee and new grandchildren—to 76%. That does, however, still leave nearly a quarter of the country wondering exactly what they're getting out of this.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postid='arts_13918870']In recent history, public \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tXnMET-tDe4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">anti-royal feeling\u003c/a> in the UK was at its strongest in the immediate aftermath of Princess Diana's death in 1997. The public anger at the time was directed towards what was viewed as an unsympathetic Palace, and prompted a major—and much-needed—shift in how the Windsors conducted themselves. They have since made a distinct effort to \u003ca href=\"http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-15492607\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">embrace modernity\u003c/a> in ways that were not possible, pre-Diana.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the end, it's unlikely that the British monarchy is going anywhere any time soon. The family still has the backing of most of its subjects and has been working its PR machine hard to keep it that way since the post-Diana backlash. But it's important to acknowledge the push back still taking place in the corners of the UK that are frustrated by a social system that can frequently seem antiquated and unfair to many. Given what we in America celebrate every Fourth of July, it's surprising our media doesn't acknowledge those frustrations more often.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Sometimes, it can feel a little bit like everyone is scared to step off that path, lest they be in violation of some obscure royal protocol. Thankfully, John Oliver's \u003cem>Last Week Tonight\u003c/em> has offered a hilarious exception to the rule:\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/G2m5_NTq19c'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/G2m5_NTq19c'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>The key thing to note, in regards to Oliver, is that not only is he one of the only journalists in America offering a critical look at the monarchy, he also happens to be English himself. He is a reflection of the fact that, while America frequently assumes that the UK is packed, coast-to-coast, with people who adore the Queen and her extended family, the truth is a lot more complicated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And truthfully, polls repeatedly show that a majority of British citizens back hanging onto the monarchy. But it should also be taken into account that the UK is awash with people who despise having a royal family and would jump at the chance to get rid of it—something rarely touched upon in international coverage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.republic.org.uk/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Republic.org.uk\u003c/a> is the most organized and vocal wing of the anti-royal movement.

The system before that was more convoluted, but the principal was the same: it is and always has been British taxpayers that pay for the royal family to go about their business.

In 2015, \u003ca href=\"http://brandfinance.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Brand Finance\u003c/a> estimated that, even after the family's exorbitant expenses, the British monarchy still brought \u003ca href=\"http://www.businessinsider.com/the-queen-and-the-uk-royal-family-contribution-to-the-uk-economy-2015-9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">£1.155 billion ($1.8 billion)\u003c/a> into the UK economy. What this doesn't factor in, however, is the fact that tourists don't come to Britain to hang out with the royal family—they come to see the \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_British_royal_residences\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">palaces\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/destinations/europe/united-kingdom/galleries/Britains-best-stately-homes/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">manors\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_castles_in_Wales\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">castles\u003c/a> dotted around the entirety of the UK, as well as the \u003ca href=\"https://www.thedungeons.com/london/en/?utm_expid=34602403-50.K3zVR3ctQ8aoJCUpT6nHYA.0&utm_referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dungeons\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tower_of_London\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tower of London\u003c/a>, associated with the long history of the nation.

In 2016, according to a poll of 1,000 people, \u003ca href=\"http://metro.co.uk/2016/04/20/this-is-how-many-british-people-want-to-get-rid-of-the-queen-and-have-a-republic-5830076/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">conducted by \u003cem>the Independent\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, that figure had risen—probably buoyed by the Queen's Jubilee and new grandchildren—to 76%.

Of the different locations this time around, he says: \"The story is Cooper's return to Twin Peaks, so the new locations were expected.\" He believes that the glass box is \"probably two coordinates where \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ley_line\">ley lines\u003c/a> cross, creating a rift between two worlds.\" And of that amazing talking twig, Linss says, \"It is the evolution of The Arm, or in other words, the replacement for the Little Man from Another Place.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another Twin Peaks Fest regular, writer Lori Savageau, wishes the new season stayed within the confines of the small town, and is having a hard time adjusting to current day \u003cem>Twin Peaks\u003c/em>. \"It jumps around so much and seems to be trying so hard, without establishing that small town feel I so loved in the first one,\" the Grass Valley resident says. \"I feel like such a downer about it because all my friends seem to love it. For me, it feels too much like David Lynch being... modern. I probably need to watch it again.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Savageau's friend and fellow Fest-goer, Mary Hütter, disagrees. \"I don't really know how I feel about the new \u003cem>Twin Peaks\u003c/em> season yet,\" she explains. \"It's beautiful and touching and complicated and hilarious. It's also going to take some digesting. I love it, but it leaves me at a loss for words that make sense. As \u003cem>Twin Peaks\u003c/em> has always been, it's more of a feeling.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When asked if he has any series\u003cem>-\u003c/em>related predictions to share, Brian Linss says simply: \"I predict these 18 hours will not be the last we hear of \u003cem>Twin Peaks\u003c/em>.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even if the show does end after Season 3, we predict the internet will be having fun with all this for a long time to come.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>A few weeks ago, \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Styles\">Harry Styles\u003c/a> re-emerged with \"\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8uD6s-X3590&t=54s\">Sweet Creature\u003c/a>,\" impressing \u003ca href=\"http://www.onedirectionmusic.com/us/home\">One Direction\u003c/a> lovers \u003cem>and\u003c/em> haters alike with a new stripped down sound that beautifully combines his sweet pop vocals with folksy vibes and surprisingly dark lyrics. With that first listen, it all felt rather new, interesting, and exciting to see Harry stretching out on his own.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Less than a week later, Styles released a video for \"Sign of the Times,\" in which he was brooding and windswept and frowning. The song itself feels mined from other British artists, \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8fFVOoqepc\">Pink Floyd\u003c/a>'s \"Comfortably Numb\" combined with distinctly \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ni2G1eTB-Bs\">Oasis\u003c/a>-sounding guitar undercurrents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fans of classic British pop might also have noticed something else quite glaring: \"Sign of the Times\" seems almost entirely modeled on what \u003ca href=\"https://www.robbiewilliams.com/\">Robbie Williams\u003c/a> did after emerging from his boy band, as a solo artist in 1995. Williams had been in \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Take_That\">Take That\u003c/a>, a five-piece who were, in their early-'90s heyday, easily as popular as \u003ca href=\"http://www.onedirectionmusic.com/us/home\">One Direction\u003c/a> (in the UK, at least). Williams quit Take That when they were still at the peak of their success and, desperate to garner some credibility after doing dance routines and singing at screaming fans for six years, released \"Angels,\" which is, to this day in Britain, considered a classic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Let's compare and contrast Williams shrugging off boy band mania, and Styles doing the same thing two decades later:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=luwAMFcc2f8\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qN4ooNx77u0\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those similar somber piano intros; the same sprawling, desolate countryside setting; those very sensible winter coats.

hip-hop/R&B-leaning US music market -- his bid for credibility worked extraordinarily well.

With that first listen, it all felt rather new, interesting, and exciting to see Harry stretching out on his own.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Less than a week later, Styles released a video for \"Sign of the Times,\" in which he was brooding and windswept and frowning. The song itself feels mined from other British artists, \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8fFVOoqepc\">Pink Floyd\u003c/a>'s \"Comfortably Numb\" combined with distinctly \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ni2G1eTB-Bs\">Oasis\u003c/a>-sounding guitar undercurrents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fans of classic British pop might also have noticed something else quite glaring: \"Sign of the Times\" seems almost entirely modeled on what \u003ca href=\"https://www.robbiewilliams.com/\">Robbie Williams\u003c/a> did after emerging from his boy band, as a solo artist in 1995. Williams had been in \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Take_That\">Take That\u003c/a>, a five-piece who were, in their early-'90s heyday, easily as popular as \u003ca href=\"http://www.onedirectionmusic.com/us/home\">One Direction\u003c/a> (in the UK, at least). Williams quit Take That when they were still at the peak of their success and, desperate to garner some credibility after doing dance routines and singing at screaming fans for six years, released \"Angels,\" which is, to this day in Britain, considered a classic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Let's compare and contrast Williams shrugging off boy band mania, and Styles doing the same thing two decades later:\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/luwAMFcc2f8'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/luwAMFcc2f8'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>For those of you old enough to remember when the internet first became a thing, you might recall that, back in the '90s, websites were boxy and boring, fun stuff like social media and YouTube didn't exist, and the people that mostly put things online were basically thought of as mysterious and hyper-intelligent mole-people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Twenty years later, everybody and their grandmas are website-building, blog-maintaining, and photo-editing like it's always been second nature. This is largely thanks to the fact that, over the years, the aforementioned coding moles have found ways to shortcut and streamline everything, so us regular folks don't need a computer science degree to be useful and active online. However, of all of the most frequently used websites in America, there is still one that makes life a little harder than it probably ought to be in 2017.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wikipedia -- the \u003ca href=\"http://www.alexa.com/topsites/countries/US\">sixth most popular\u003c/a> website in America -- can feel purposely set up to make editing difficult. If you think back to the mid-2000s when Wikipedia was frequently mocked for getting facts wrong, it's tempting to wonder if they've kept it hard to edit on purpose -- perhaps fewer people editing means fewer errors? In reality, Wikipedia is simply more complicated to edit than most other websites now, for a variety of old school technical and software reasons (and \u003ca href=\"https://www.quora.com/Why-is-the-Wikipedia-editing-page-so-hard-to-use-and-user-unfriendly\">even those are hard to understand). \u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the main problems Wikipedia's editing interface has (at least partially) caused is a serious gender gap when it comes to the people who create and edit Wikipedia content. This has, in turn, created serious information gaps when it comes to profiling and dedicating pages to prominent women, whether they be female historical figures, artists, or authors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2010, research done by the \u003ca href=\"https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Home\">Wikimedia Foundation\u003c/a> -- the company that runs Wikipedia -- discovered that around 87% of the website's editors identified as men. One of the first people to draw wider attention to that perplexing figure was \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/by/noam-cohen\">Noam Cohen\u003c/a>, a journalist for \u003cem>The New York Times \u003c/em>who wrote an article in January 2011 titled \"\u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2011/01/31/business/media/31link.html?_r=1&src=busln\">Define Gender Gap? Look Up Wikipedia’s Contributor List.\u003c/a>\" Cohen's article demonstrated how a lack of female editors was affecting Wikipedia's content:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"...the Wikipedia entry for… \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pat_Barker\">Pat Barker\u003c/a>… was a mere three paragraphs,\" Cohen noted. \"Ms. Barker is an acclaimed writer of psychologically nuanced novels, many set during World War I. She is 67 and lives in England. By contrast, \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niko_Bellic\">Niko Bellic\u003c/a> had an article about five times as long as Ms. Barker’s at the time. It’s a question of demographics: Mr. Bellic is a character in the video game \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Theft_Auto_IV\">\u003cem>Grand Theft Auto IV\u003c/em>\u003c/a>.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cohen's article prompted ex-Wikimedia director \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sue_Gardner\">Sue Gardner\u003c/a> to go public with her research into why women were so frequently put off by the Wikipedia editing process. Gardner \u003ca href=\"https://suegardner.org/2011/02/19/nine-reasons-why-women-dont-edit-wikipedia-in-their-own-words/\">concluded the reasons\u003c/a> were as follows:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>1. A lack of user-friendliness in the editing interface\u003cbr>\n2. Not having enough free time\u003cbr>\n3. A lack of self-confidence\u003cbr>\n4. Aversion to conflict and an unwillingness to participate in lengthy edit wars\u003cbr>\n5. Belief that their contributions are too likely to be reverted or deleted\u003cbr>\n6. Some find its overall atmosphere misogynistic\u003cbr>\n7. Wikipedia culture is sexual in ways they find off-putting\u003cbr>\n8. Being addressed as male is off-putting to women whose primary language has grammatical gender\u003cbr>\n9. Fewer opportunities than other sites for social relationships and a welcoming tone\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From that point on, not only has Wikipedia been surprisingly open about its own shortcomings -- listing them on pages like \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Why_Wikipedia_is_not_so_great\">Wikipedia: Why Wikipedia is not so great\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_bias_on_Wikipedia\">Gender Bias on Wikipedia\u003c/a> -- it has actively been providing resources to try and diversify the demographics of its editors. There's the \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Teahouse\">Teahouse\u003c/a>, \"a friendly place to learn about editing Wikipedia;\" there's a \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Wikipedia:_The_Missing_Manual/Editing,_creating,_and_maintaining_articles/Editing_for_the_first_time\">Help\u003c/a> page offering an extensive online manual about creating and editing pages; and there's a page about Wikipedia's \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:VisualEditor\">Visual Editor\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQ4ba28-oGs\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even more surprisingly, the Wikimedia Foundation has, since 2011, been willingly assisting \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:How_to_run_an_edit-a-thon\">edit-a-thons\u003c/a> that are set up by outside organizations -- such as \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.artandfeminism.org/\">Art + Feminism\u003c/a>\u003c/em> -- specifically with the goal of fixing Wikipedia's gender bias-related content problems. Put simply, if you and a large enough group of people in your vicinity can't figure out how to contribute to Wikipedia, there is a good chance that Wikimedia will send over an expert volunteer to walk you through it. \u003cem>Art + Feminism\u003c/em> has, in the last three years alone, held \"280+ events across six continents, to create and improve thousands of Wikipedia pages for artists.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So far this year, edit-a-thons have been held by the likes of San Francisco art non-profit \u003ca href=\"http://www.thelab.org/projects/2017/3/12/wikipedia-edit-a-thon\">The Lab\u003c/a> and New York's \u003ca href=\"https://www.eventbrite.com/e/black-power-wikipedia-edit-a-thon-2017-edition-tickets-31367828018#\">Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture\u003c/a>. The \u003ca href=\"https://localwiki.org/oakland/History_Editathon_1\">Oakland Public Library\u003c/a> started history edit-a-thons in 2013. At the end of last year, the UK's BBC, assisted by volunteers from Wikimedia UK, held 15 \u003ca href=\"http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-38219838\">twelve-hour\u003c/a> in 13 countries \"to grow the number of female editors and to add women who... deserve to be recognized. \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition, in 2010, Wikipedia set up the \u003ca href=\"https://wikiedu.org/\">Wiki Education Foundation\u003c/a>, a San Francisco-based non-profit that was specifically created to teach students how to share information on Wikipedia. The organization's website explains: \"Students research course-related topics that are missing or underrepresented, synthesize the available literature, and use our tools and trainings to add the information to Wikipedia. While contributing cited, well-founded information, they help combat fake news on the internet.

This is largely thanks to the fact that, over the years, the aforementioned coding moles have found ways to shortcut and streamline everything, so us regular folks don't need a computer science degree to be useful and active online. However, of all of the most frequently used websites in America, there is still one that makes life a little harder than it probably ought to be in 2017.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wikipedia -- the \u003ca href=\"http://www.alexa.com/topsites/countries/US\">sixth most popular\u003c/a> website in America -- can feel purposely set up to make editing difficult. If you think back to the mid-2000s when Wikipedia was frequently mocked for getting facts wrong, it's tempting to wonder if they've kept it hard to edit on purpose -- perhaps fewer people editing means fewer errors? In reality, Wikipedia is simply more complicated to edit than most other websites now, for a variety of old school technical and software reasons (and \u003ca href=\"https://www.quora.com/Why-is-the-Wikipedia-editing-page-so-hard-to-use-and-user-unfriendly\">even those are hard to understand). \u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the main problems Wikipedia's editing interface has (at least partially) caused is a serious gender gap when it comes to the people who create and edit Wikipedia content. This has, in turn, created serious information gaps when it comes to profiling and dedicating pages to prominent women, whether they be female historical figures, artists, or authors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2010, research done by the \u003ca href=\"https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Home\">Wikimedia Foundation\u003c/a> -- the company that runs Wikipedia -- discovered that around 87% of the website's editors identified as men. One of the first people to draw wider attention to that perplexing figure was \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/by/noam-cohen\">Noam Cohen\u003c/a>, a journalist for \u003cem>The New York Times \u003c/em>who wrote an article in January 2011 titled \"\u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2011/01/31/business/media/31link.html?_r=1&src=busln\">Define Gender Gap? Look Up Wikipedia’s Contributor List.\u003c/a>\" Cohen's article demonstrated how a lack of female editors was affecting Wikipedia's content:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

She is 67 and lives in England. By contrast, \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niko_Bellic\">Niko Bellic\u003c/a> had an article about five times as long as Ms. Barker’s at the time. It’s a question of demographics: Mr. Bellic is a character in the video game \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Theft_Auto_IV\">\u003cem>Grand Theft Auto IV\u003c/em>\u003c/a>.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cohen's article prompted ex-Wikimedia director \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sue_Gardner\">Sue Gardner\u003c/a> to go public with her research into why women were so frequently put off by the Wikipedia editing process. Gardner \u003ca href=\"https://suegardner.org/2011/02/19/nine-reasons-why-women-dont-edit-wikipedia-in-their-own-words/\">concluded the reasons\u003c/a> were as follows:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>1. A lack of user-friendliness in the editing interface\u003cbr>\n2. Not having enough free time\u003cbr>\n3. A lack of self-confidence\u003cbr>\n4. Aversion to conflict and an unwillingness to participate in lengthy edit wars\u003cbr>\n5. Belief that their contributions are too likely to be reverted or deleted\u003cbr>\n6. Some find its overall atmosphere misogynistic\u003cbr>\n7. Wikipedia culture is sexual in ways they find off-putting\u003cbr>\n8. Being addressed as male is off-putting to women whose primary language has grammatical gender\u003cbr>\n9. Fewer opportunities than other sites for social relationships and a welcoming tone\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From that point on, not only has Wikipedia been surprisingly open about its own shortcomings -- listing them on pages like \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Why_Wikipedia_is_not_so_great\">Wikipedia: Why Wikipedia is not so great\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_bias_on_Wikipedia\">Gender Bias on Wikipedia\u003c/a> -- it has actively been providing resources to try and diversify the demographics of its editors. There's the \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Teahouse\">Teahouse\u003c/a>, \"a friendly place to learn about editing Wikipedia;\" there's a \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Wikipedia:_The_Missing_Manual/Editing,_creating,_and_maintaining_articles/Editing_for_the_first_time\">Help\u003c/a> page offering an extensive online manual about creating and editing pages; and there's a page about Wikipedia's \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:VisualEditor\">Visual Editor\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/xQ4ba28-oGs'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/xQ4ba28-oGs'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>Even more surprisingly, the Wikimedia Foundation has, since 2011, been willingly assisting \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:How_to_run_an_edit-a-thon\">edit-a-thons\u003c/a> that are set up by outside organizations -- such as \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.artandfeminism.org/\">Art + Feminism\u003c/a>\u003c/em> -- specifically with the goal of fixing Wikipedia's gender bias-related content problems. Put simply, if you and a large enough group of people in your vicinity can't figure out how to contribute to Wikipedia, there is a good chance that Wikimedia will send over an expert volunteer to walk you through it. \u003cem>Art + Feminism\u003c/em> has, in the last three years alone, held \"280+ events across six continents, to create and improve thousands of Wikipedia pages for artists.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So far this year, edit-a-thons have been held by the likes of San Francisco art non-profit \u003ca href=\"http://www.thelab.org/projects/2017/3/12/wikipedia-edit-a-thon\">The Lab\u003c/a> and New York's \u003ca href=\"https://www.eventbrite.com/e/black-power-wikipedia-edit-a-thon-2017-edition-tickets-31367828018#\">Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture\u003c/a>. The \u003ca href=\"https://localwiki.org/oakland/History_Editathon_1\">Oakland Public Library\u003c/a> started history edit-a-thons in 2013. At the end of last year, the UK's BBC, assisted by volunteers from Wikimedia UK, held 15 \u003ca href=\"http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-38219838\">twelve-hour\u003c/a> in 13 countries \"to grow the number of female editors and to add women who... deserve to be recognized. \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition, in 2010, Wikipedia set up the \u003ca href=\"https://wikiedu.org/\">Wiki Education Foundation\u003c/a>, a San Francisco-based non-profit that was specifically created to teach students how to share information on Wikipedia. The organization's website explains: \"Students research course-related topics that are missing or underrepresented, synthesize the available literature, and use our tools and trainings to add the information to Wikipedia. While contributing cited, well-founded information, they help combat fake news on the internet. After supporting tens of thousands of students, we’ve proven this model brings high-quality academic information to wide audiences.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At this point in history, undoubtedly one of the most valuable resources for feminist groups, and women in general, is the internet.
