Already so many costume ideas for Halloween: Madonna, Troye Sivan, Tom and Taylor, and then there’s something called a “ghislennial.” |

I’m Being ‘Shailene Woodley’s Emmys Outfit’ for Halloween That was my takeaway from this week on Twitter, anyway.

Every week Becca Schuh collects the tweets we need to remember, until next week anyway.
A mother got energy bowls. A new, weird iPhone dropped. “Before we get married, I gotta go fuck this guy” became a crying call. Also: “I haven’t had the time, with the things that I set in motion.” There’s apparently a Netflix reality show called The Stanford Prison Experiment? All of these things, all in one week.
The Open is over but Taylor Fritz brought us a little treat before it ended!

Macklemore. There’s a name we hadn’t heard in a while. |

Incredible that a congresswoman felt compelled to respond to this. |

I use Twitter most days and this one still lost me. But the truth is out there. |

Incredible new entry into the “just saying things” canon. |

You gotta love a music video where someone simply dives face-first into a butt. (Do you? I do!) You also gotta love any situation where a costume designer was given a generous budget, Jason P. Frank writes: |

The music video for the song matches the lyric in ambition. Set in medieval times, Sivan is basically Gay-veheart. The video sweeps around a reveling fiefdom, showing everyone from peasants to dukes partying and getting it on. Like much of Sivan’s recent work (see: “Rush”), the video is horny, filled with sharp choreography, and shot by his frequent director Gordon von Steiner. And like his recent video, “She’s the Best,” which starred Nicole Kidman, it features an icon: Ian McKellen as the narrator. Get ready to party in the Shire when She’s the Best comes out October 9.

If you scroll through TikTok, you’ve probably heard someone recommend Walmart’s fashion lines over the past year. “Guys, the rumors are true. Walmart is popping off right now,” a 27-year-old nurse from Indiana told her followers in June. “I got all of this for $100. I feel like you cannot do this these days.”
The discount store now sells the kind of $45 cashmere sweaters, $15 cotton sundresses, and $25 beaded bags that light up Facebook shopping-recommendation groups and launch dozens of TikTok videos with and without a #WalmartPartner tag. While sales have been slowing recently at Old Navy and Abercrombie & Fitch, apparel has become one of Walmart’s fastest-growing categories, according to the company.

In a frenzy of back-to-school shopping for my 8-year-old, I checked out some links that Chantal sent while reporting this story and wound up buying six items for under $40, all of which are on frequent rotation in their wardrobe, FWIW. |
