    “Florence Pugh eats 11 English dishes with Vogue.”

    No, she eats a bite of each dish and they throw away almost all of it.

      I’m am so tired of them pushing this girl. As a commenter on Jezebel said the same when they posted the food thing, “so many women of color doing amazing things…but yea, this.” AMEN

      “tHeY diDnT evEn NomInATe GretA geRwIg foR bEst DiREcteR?!”
      Where was the outrage when Ava DuVernay wasn’t nom’d for Best Director for Selma?
      “here’s IT girl actress florence pugh she’s in everything now here’s her taking bites of some food!” & I just, I can’t. Ppl whine so HARD about lack of diversity & WoC being shut out all the time, & that outrage peaks during award season…but its lip service.
      rant👏over👏

    My mother died at 66 and both my sister and I have internalized the idea that we will die around that age, too. No wonder Harry is withdrawing now — he must be frantic about Meghan. It’s not rational, but the emotion won’t be argued with.

    • Kate says:

      Meghan and Archie. Looking at pics here and on Lainey of little baby Harry with his mom made me a little misty thinking about how young he was when he lost her. Having a child of his own now I can only imagine he must feel that extreme parental instinct to protect his child from what he could not be protected against.

    • Cee says:

      My maternal grandmother died age 46 (mum was 15). I still remember going into my parents’ room to wake up my mum on her 46th brithday only to find her crying. She had also lived with the feeling that she would not live past her 46th. That image, and her words, stayed with me.

      • Placebo says:

        OMG, my maternal grandmother died at 75….my mother turns 75 this year and she keeps thinking that she might die at this age as well….it’s awful 😭😭😭😭😭

      • Lady D says:

        My mom died just before her 22nd. I was a little worried about me at that age, but more worried when my son was approaching that age.

    I liiiiiike Flornce. I hated her in Little drummer girl for some reason. I like her now. Think she was great in Midsommar. And this video is fun. Although, to be a bitch – every single English meal deserves mustard on it, not ketchup (no, no, no) and don’t eat pasty with a knife and fork. That’s what I’ve learned while living in UK. All said it looks like Mad Hatters tea party and I love it.

  4. Hope says:

    Charlotte and Harry have similar eyes. William and Diana look so alike that sometimes when I look at pictures of Diana, it looks like a picture of William in makeup and a dress.

    • BW says:

      ” . . . when I look at pictures of Diana, it looks like a picture of William in makeup and a dress.”

      And now I can’t unsee that.

    • Sass says:

      Yes, he’s always been Diana’s carbon copy. It’s all I see too.

  5. bekindbekindbekind says:

    Moore said the Dems should have a 2-party ticket…got a big round of applause and then argued that Bernie was the only person who could beat Trump.

    Like the senseless NYT simultaneous endorsements of Warren and Klobuchar, those are two very opposite positions in one argument.

    He’s entitled to back whoever he pleased, but this came off as patronizing.

  6. Kaylove says:

    Where are the mushy peas, Vogue?! My little Welsh stomach is confused!

    • Lady D says:

      Gag. I don’t mean to be rude, Kaylove, it’s just that they have always struck me as the nastiest of foods. Peas are only edible raw or in shoot form.

  7. L4frimaire says:

    Very good post. Both of their speeches were so impactful and glad Harry was able to speak up. Side note. Was that photo of Diana with Harry an official royal event? Just noticing the red nail polish

    • Bunny says:

      The British tabloids went utterly bonkers when Meghan wore dark colours on her nails but when others did it, crickets.

      That’s because the “dark nail polish rule” isn’t a rule at all. The Queen has a preference for nude shades (Essie Ballet Slippers, usually), but it is a preference, not a rule.

      Here is an article, complete with photos, of other royals wearing dark/bright colours , including Kate and Diana: https://www.townandcountrymag.com/society/tradition/a25935512/meghan-markle-royal-protocol-nail-polish-cirque-du-soleil/

      This is just another of the many ways in which Meghan was held to imaginary standards and utterly trashed for breaking protocol that didn’t exist, except in the minds of the racist tabloids.

      • Right. Remember the furor over the off-the-shoulder gown even though both Diana and Kate had also worn the same style. I got a big laugh yesterday that the first photos released of the actress portraying Diana in a scene for The Crown is in (according to the press) an “iconic” off the shoulder gown. The press memory is so selective.

        I also read that the photo of Meghan crossing her legs in an “unroyal fashion” has always been cropped by press because Princess Anne is sitting two seats down from her and her legs are crossed in exactly the same manner.

    Michael Moore knows his business. He was right last time about trump winning because he keeps his ear to the ground in Michigan. I believe him this time too.

    • MOT says:

      Such an interesting take by Michael Moore..I read it he article after I saw you comment and I agree (fwiw)

    • Betsy says:

      Warren Harris works for me.

    • Jenna says:

      Not at all. Moore was just part of the Bernie or Bust movement that helped Trump win.

      There is a reason Trump is defending Bernie on Twitter. He wants Bernie to be the nominee because Bernie’s history will look awful in the general, and he will be one of the easiest nominees to beat.

      Moore just drank the Kool-Aid.

      • Enormous Coat says:

        @Jenna Amen! Not to mention that Bernie has very few legislative accomplishments & became an independent because he wasn’t getting enough attention. It’s easy to jump up and down and say popular things. Harder to get them done – and Bernie ain’t a closer.

      • Aang says:

        No. Moore was out there saying vote for Hillary once she got the nomination. From where does your info come? Moore was not a Bernie or buster and he says now that we need to vote for whoever is nominated. Why spread lies?

      • Eugh says:

        I know Hillary needs to go away forever and all, but she’s not wrong about her ire for Bernie. He is a useful idiot to Russian interference, and his suspicious voting record backs that up.

        The most qualified in the field are definitely the female candidates.

  9. Tiffany says:

    Brooks Laich not having a contract right now is making me like him more and more. That really was a interesting comment once read in full.

  10. SilentStar says:

    It’s really refreshing to hear a professional athlete talk like that about sexuality. It was actually kind of deep. Hope his exploration leads to positive things and that his attitude rubs off on others.

  11. Rena says:

    Damn this makes me sad

    Dustin at Pagiba is correct. This is a slow motion car crash.
