This is small but sweet.

Six years ago, Irina Shayk was eight months pregnant and living in Los Angeles when she decided it was time to learn to drive. She was 31, a supermodel, living with her then partner Bradley Cooper, and until that point she’d relied on Ubers without hesitation. But now the back seat made her nauseous, and the whole practice seemed ridiculous. She was a grown woman. She woke up one morning and decided: “That’s it.” She got her learner’s permit and practiced on Sunset Boulevard, hands at 10 and 2, her growing belly wedged behind the steering wheel. She gave birth to her daughter weeks later, but remained fixated on obtaining her license. Shayk took 10 lessons, two hours each. When it was time to schedule her road test, people told her to choose an area with few pedestrians to make for a less stressful exam. And a few advised her: Avoid Santa Monica. Too crowded. “So I was like, ‘I want to do it in Santa Monica,’” Shayk says. “‘I want to be ready for everything.’” She took the test. She passed.

When producer, writer, and actor Brit Marling was creating the new series A Murder at the End of the World, she was partially inspired by Rihanna. Surely, who isn’t? But the former star and co-creator of The OA was especially moved while writing this multifaceted murder mystery, which includes elements of sci-fi, big tech, hacking, extreme wealth, and a coming-of-age love story. “I think a lot of that Rihanna song, ‘We fell in love in a hopeless place,’” Marling tells ELLE.com. “We never played that song in the show, but I remember playing that song a lot when I was just drawing storyboards or writing.” She’s referring to protagonist Darby Hart (Emma Corrin) and Bill Farrah (Harris Dickinson), two amateur sleuths who meet in the dark corners of the internet and fall in love while tracking the cold case of a serial killer. They’re gritty Gen Z punks with wolf cuts and tattoos, road tripping across the American West and breaking into homes to find the remains of victims (usually women) who the authorities gave up on searching. As the years pass, Darby and Bill fall out of touch, but they reunite by surprise as successful young adults—by now, she’s a hacker and author; he’s an artist—on a billionaire’s invite-only retreat in Iceland. But alas, one of the guests winds up dead, and Darby must use her detective skills to prove it was a murder before someone else is killed.

Hamas, a Palestinian militant group, launched an attack on Israel this Saturday, firing at least 2,200 rockets into the country and adding 500 or more to the death toll in a war that has carried on for decades. The Israeli Defense Forces, in return, declared a state of war and retaliated with airstrikes. Bloodshed is not something to take sides in. And a conflict that has gone on for centuries, killed millions of innocent families, and wreaked religious, political, and economic havoc in two populations, can only be described as a catastrophe that must find its resolution. Here, a list of organizations calling for peace and helping the victims of this war.
