Lesbian chic

We know you read this newsletter for our searing coverage of political issues.

– Michael Sun

We can't stop talking about...

Big names
in odd places

Mona's new exhibition Namedropping is ludicrously expensive and features items from David Bowie, Marilyn Monroe and Charles Darwin. It might also be the gallery's most annoying show?

Picasso loo
Also at Mona: after its Ladies Lounge was forced to close, it has responded in the most Mona way possible – by hanging Picassos in a women's bathroom.

The Rock? Boo
The Rock is starring in a new Amazon film - and it looks like it's the worst Christmas movie of all time.

Sheen breakthrough
Meanwhile, Michael Sheen has teamed up with a pair of journalists on a new podcast about the dangers of forever chemicals. 'We literally had to work out if we had poisoned [him],' one of the hosts says.

Eat this

Cure-all congee

Warm rice porridge is a comfort food staple across many, many cultures – and we asked three chefs how they enjoy theirs.

Extremely online

The debate happened! Wait, which one? WaPo v Jeff Bezos? Twinks v dolls? Academia v one single strawberry? This writer v The Bear? This writer v The Bear?? So basically everyone hates The Bear now? But Jeremy Allen White remains rodent boyfriend du jour? We get it, you contain multitudes.

Good reads: on lesbian chic; on Austin Butler’s neck; on the internet’s favourite candy; on the men who are 'rawdogging flights'. The Cut went to a sailing contest and Slate tried becoming a gold chain guy. Here are our favourite writers on the best literary sex scenes and the worst pitches they’ve sent. Finally, RIP to Longform! Nobody is reading and everyone speaks phone now.

Top of the list

An album – like Charli
Camila Cabello's album C,XOXO might be an unconvincing rebrand in the vein of Charli xcx and hyperpop stylists – but unfortunately I'm still streaming.

Another album – beats gnarly
At least we have R&B star Kehlani, who delivers the perfect sexy summer soundtrack on her record Crash.

A film – vrooms snarly
Austin Butler was born to play a suave, leather-clad gangman – as he does in The Bikeriders, a gritty portrait of machismo also starring Jodie Comer, Tom Hardy and Mike Faist. In cinemas.

A doco – one star's plea
I Am: Celine Dion strips back the varnish of the pop doco, following the singer's diagnosis with Stiff Person Syndrome and revealing the gutting truth of Dion's life. On Amazon Prime.

This week's weirdest story

Mad dog

An eight-year-old pekingese has won the World’s Ugliest Dog contest. We still love him :')
