Peter Foley/ReutersThe thirteenth day of Donald Trump’s hush money trial gets underway Tuesday after the judge gave the former president a clear ultimatum: stop violating the court’s gag order or risk being thrown in jail.The final warning Monday came as Judge Juan Merchan found Trump in criminal contempt for the tenth time over breaches of an order meant to prevent the GOP’s presumptive presidential nominee from intimidating jurors, potential witnesses, and others associated with the proceedings in Manhattan. After hitting Trump with yet another $1,000 penalty, Merchan said it “appears that the $1,000 fines are not serving as a deterrent.”“The last thing I want to do is put you in jail,” Merchan told Trump. “You are the former president of the United States and possibly the next president as well.” The judge added that while the “magnitude” of possibly jailing Trump isn’t lost on him, he ultimately has “a job to do.”Read more at The Daily Beast.

Rendon/The Daily Beast/Getty ImagesFormer Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) failed at many things: building unity in his conference, making deals across the aisle, and, obviously, fending off the revolt that made him a former speaker.In one crucial area, however, McCarthy was a legendary success: raising money.The longtime GOP politician spent more than a decade and a half building a political machine that hauled in millions from big donors. His critics used this fact as ammunition against him, portraying him as a swampy corporate hack who would sell his principles to anyone paying top dollar. But his money engine unquestionably helped power Republicans to the House majority in 2022.Read more at The Daily Beast.

Photo Illustration by Thomas Levinson/The Daily Beast/GettyThe real sleazy part of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s prosecution of former President Donald Trump for election interference isn’t what you think.The sleaze factor isn’t the kind of work done by actress and director Stormy Daniels, the business of the National Enquirer, the allegations by model Karen McDougal that she had an affair with Trump, or the fact that celebrity lawyers arrange fees for their clients’ stories.The real sleaze factor is how the media, some legal commentators, and Trump enablers keep describing the case as being about “hush money” and “porn stars”—which is wrong as a matter of legal analysis and troubling in its perpetuation of inequities in our society—and how Trump’s defense lawyers are trying to capitalize on those disparaging characterizations.Read more at The Daily Beast.

The number of Tinder couples jumped by 66 percent during the first week, with largest number of users coming to Russia from the U.S., the U.K., and Germany.That was an era which already feels long forgotten in Moscow.Read more at The Daily Beast.

GettyReality shifters are a group of people who believe they can transport themselves to different realities by using techniques learned from posts on the internet. Some of these techniques are ancient—like breathwork, affirmations, and visualization. But one of the most important techniques is very contemporary: an app on your phone.Reality shifting started in the late 2010s on Amino, a small fandom-centric social media platform. But it first got mainstream attention on TikTok in 2020, a time when many people—in particular young people who grew up immersed in fantasy and online worlds—had reason to find their current realities lacking. The unique combination of spirituality, technology, and social community is what draws in the hundreds of thousands of people subscribed to online reality shifter communities on Reddit, Discord, and TikTok.Using specific rituals, shifters could go to their “desired reality” (DR) and travel to places like Hogwarts or Westeros, or they could even shift to an alternate reality of their actual life. There are as many opinions on shifting as there are shifters, but in general, the community believes we live in a multiverse, and so all these realities are equally real. Going from your original reality (OR) to a DR is all about unlocking the power of your mind.Read more at The Daily Beast.

MGMTwo hours of foreplay has led up to this moment.The last scene in writer Justin Kuritzkes and director Luca Guadagnino’s horny tennis film Challengers isn’t so much about who actually wins the tournament final between Josh O'Connor’s down-and-out Patrick Zweig and Mike Faist’s all-star Art Donaldson. Nor is it really necessarily a competition to see who has “won” the heart of Art’s wife and coach, Tashi Duncan (Zendaya).No, this match is about everything that’s unsaid between the members of this ultra-competitive love triangle. In fact, with all the grunts, whacks, squealing shoes, and perspiration, there’s little dialogue in it all.Read more at The Daily Beast.

Jake Giles Netter / MaxYou may recognize Mark Indelicato as “The One Who Is Always Running Around” in Hacks. “The One Who Is Always Running Around” does have a name—it’s Damien—and a job title: personal assistant to comedy legend Deborah Vance (Jean Smart). More often than not, you’ll find Damien chasing Deborah down an airplane tarmac, hectically karate-chopping pillows to look more aesthetically appealing, or shuttling corgis around for family pictures.Damien is always tripping over himself trying to make Deborah look flawless.“In Season 2, there was an accident,” Indelicato tells The Daily Beast’s Obsessed, laughing. “It was this scene where we’re on the bus. There’s the QVC set-up that Damien’s trying to break down and he falls, and is like, ‘Fuck!’ That was not scripted. I fell on accident.”Read more at The Daily Beast.

Courtesy of A24When Brigette Lundy-Paine met director Jane Schoenbrun, they knew they needed to be a part of A24’s emo horror hit, I Saw the TV Glow. It wasn’t that Lundy-Paine (who uses they/them pronouns) shared in Schoenbrun’s specific obsessions; before joining the cast, they had not once watched Buffy the Vampire Slayer, one of the film’s loudest inspirations. Instead, as Lundy-Paine explains it, they have “the same way of delighting in obsession” as Schoenbrun. The two are both into philosophy and theory, and, before long, they were exchanging manifestos about dildos.I Saw the TV Glow is a story about longing, nostalgia, queerness, and oppression. The film explores, as Lundy-Paine put it at one point during a conversation with The Daily Beast’s Obsessed, what it means to suffer through a social prison—“but also the suffering that is required to break free from it.”Alongside films like Theda Hammel’s Sundance comedy Stress Positions and Vera Drew’s Warner Bros. parody The People’s Joker, Schoenbrun’s film has helped make 2024 a big year for mainstream films that center trans issues. While Lundy-Paine recognizes the power that trans cinema holds, they also emphasized their belief that it’s not especially healthy to preoccupy oneself with what’s trendy—“especially if it's based around an identity, because in order to exploit an identity, the power must be taken from it.”Read more at The Daily Beast.
