Illustration by Elizabeth Brockway/The Daily BeastTo the women of the world, I—and many people on TikTok—have a question for you: Would you rather be left in the woods with a man you don’t know, or a bear?It’s an absurd question on the surface. Of course you’d rather be in the woods with a human being rather than a large beastly animal with terrifying teeth and claws that could maul and maim you. At best it could kill you instantly. At worst, it would be a prolonged death a la Grizzly Man, slowly being eaten alive.Bears don’t always stop to kill their prey before they start consuming them, either. Absolutely, no thank you.Read more at The Daily Beast.

Rendon/The Daily Beast/Getty Images/XThis week:I’m Heading to the AsylumThe only thing worse than a meme that completely floods your social media timeline is not understanding what in god’s name the meme means. As a burgeoning Old Person, this has become a frustratingly common occurrence. So in between refilling my acid reflux prescription and icing my sore knees, I finally broke down and googled the provenance of the meme that had been assaulting me all week, and now I’m more annoyed than I was when I was just blissfully elderly, clueless, and out of touch.Read more at The Daily Beast.

Photo Illustration by Luis G. Rendon/The Daily Beast/Getty ImagesThere’s still life in the old dog yet. At the age of 93 Rupert Murdoch is about to marry for the fifth time. And there’s no doubt what the best, and by far the most expensive, wedding present from his family would be: To shut down Prince Harry’s litigation against Murdoch’s British tabloids over their industrial-scale hacking.This decades-old saga has already cost News Group Newspapers at least one billion pounds in settlements and legal costs. The next group of 45 cases, including Prince Harry’s, are due to go to court next January.Until now the Duke of Sussex has shown no sign of settling out of court. On the back of a huge settlement with the Daily Mirror’s owners he still wanted to take the adversary he most despises all the way to a trial that would very likely have required Murdoch himself to face cross-examination alongside other top NGN executives.Read more at The Daily Beast.

Photo Illustration by The Daily Beast/Getty ImagesMaya Rudolph didn’t mean to make waves this week when she sat down with Dax Shepard for an episode of Armchair Expert, but alas, sometimes you don’t choose The Discourse™. Sometimes it chooses you. It all started almost an hour into the episode, when Rudolph and Shepard were talking about their families, the biz, and their respective approaches to their careers. It was then that Rudolph’s famous family came up. Her mother was venerated soul singer Minnie Riperton, and her father is music producer Richard Rudolph. Riperton died in 1979 at the age of 31, when Maya was only 7 years old.When Shepard noted that Rudolph seems to have a pretty healthy relationship with her career, she attributed part of that to how her parents raised her. In doing so, she accidentally ignited a nepo discourse that, frankly, seems pretty unfair.Read more at The Daily Beast.

Photo Illustration by Erin O’Flynn/The Daily Beast/MGMApparently, it’s not encouraged to shout, “Alright boys, pucker up!” at a movie theater screen during a packed showing of one of the most anticipated films of the year. God forbid anyone has a little bit of fun. You’re telling me that no one else brought tubes of Blistex to throw at the screen during Challengers? What’s next, I can’t make loud smooching sounds when Zendaya, Josh O’Connor, and Mike Faist all gather in a hotel room, even when I’ve seen the movie’s trailer 50 times and I know exactly what’s about to happen? No, you grow up!Just kidding, I would rather die than be caught dead disrupting a theater. Yet, Challengers has a way of thwarting even our most steadfast moral tenets, prompting audiences to act on impulse. My screening had plenty of gasping, hooting, and cheering as all three characters involved in a tennis-based love triangle wormed their way through each others’ lives. There is so much seduction and subterfuge packed into the film that I found myself holding my breath as often as I did twirling my hair around my finger like a lovestruck schoolgirl with a secret crush. But part of Challengers’ brilliance is that it lets no crush go secret for too long, and it’s impossible to walk away from the movie without feeling like you just got a glimpse of something far more depraved than you were anticipating—in the best possible way. All this immorality is set into motion quickly and carefully, and it’s one steaming hot three-way kiss between the movie’s stars that triggers it.In case you got clocked in the noggin with a fuzzy green ball and missed the memo, Challengers stars Mike Faist, Zendaya, and Josh O’Connor as a triad of young tennis prodigies, whose expertise is outweighed only by their mutual horniness for one another. This results in some calculating betrayal over the years, as the three of them navigate the ups and downs of their personal and professional lives with about as much care as one would expect from ruthless athletes. There’s plenty of viciousness on and off the court, but the scenes of physical intimacy are just as intense. But don’t be fooled: Challengers isn’t your average two-bit, soft porn Netflix movie. There are few actual sex scenes in the film. In Challengers, the sweaty, grunting tennis matches are the real sex, and glimpses of carnal activity are mere foreplay for what happens in these sequences. And, just like in real life, foreplay sets the tone for what comes next.Read more at The Daily Beast.

One environmentalist, for instance, told the BBC this week that showers are more popular than ever “because we’re afraid somebody else will tell us that we’re smelling.”The Post also cited a Manhattan dermatologist who warned that prolonged, daily showers could damage the “skin’s microbiome,” which not only protects the skin but is “extremely important in overall health of the body.”Read more at The Daily Beast.
