A “video vixen” is a term first used to describe women who appeared as background dancers or love interests in hip-hop videos around the late-Nineties and early 2000s. She is presented to the audience as a modern-day goddess. The recipient of admiration from male artists who serenade her on camera — at times to the point of objectification. The viewer doesn’t always know her by name but knows the names of the male artists singing to and about her. The lack of identification means the vixen could be anyone everyone. We could all be a beautiful woman who is worth being sung about. Video vixens have a particular hold on today’s youth culture because of how they impacted the previous generation of young people, still hungry for more inclusive media figures. “I can identify with a video vixen because I know as a dark skin black woman my features are unique and I know I am beautiful,” influencer Mary Poppin tells Rolling Stone. “When I was a little girl, I used to stare in awe … [Read more...] about Why TikTok Sees Music Video Vixens as the Unsung Heroes of Y2K Fashion

A little over a year ago, a mentally ill Dallas-area man named James Lance Boulware, angry over losing custody of his son, bought an armored van on eBay, marketed as a “Zombie Apocalypse Assault Vehicle.” The van had gun ports under each of its blacked-out windows. Just after midnight one Saturday morning, with a few homemade pipe bombs and a semi-automatic rifle in-hand, he drove the van to the headquarters of the Dallas Police Department and started firing at squad cars. Many hours later, the cops, with the aid of specialized weaponry, disabled the van and killed Boulware, spending much of the day dealing with the explosive devices he left behind. One of the strangest things about Boulware’s bizarre and brief reign of terror in Dallas is how little attention it warranted by that Monday. Having happened in the wee hours of the weekend, it fell into a news hole. And Boulware’s failure to successfully shoot any of the police he targeted made it easier for people to shrug it off. … [Read more...] about Texas’ Gun Culture and Politics Made Dallas Shooting Inevitable

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz caused a buzz online early Tuesday morning after eagle-eyed Twitter users noticed that his official Twitter account had “liked” a pornographic video posted by an account with handle @SexuallPosts late Monday night. Per Washington Post reporter Ed O’Keefe , Cruz addressed the scandal to reporters Tuesday morning, saying that “a ‘staffing issue’ led to” the account’s “liking” the tweet in question. “Cruz told reporters: ‘There are a number of people on the team who have access to the account. It appears that someone inadvertently hit the ‘like’ button and when we discovered the post… we pulled it down,'” O’Keefe tweeted, quoting Cruz. “‘We’re dealing with it internally but it was a mistake, it was not malicious conduct.'” Continued O’Keefe: “Cruz wouldn’t name the staffer; nor what discipline they might face; it is ‘still being discussed’ whether person will access the account. Cruz quips: If he’d known it would trend so quickly, ‘perhaps we should have … [Read more...] about Ted Cruz: ‘Staffing Issue,’ ‘Mistake’ Led to Porn Tweet Liked by Account

Donald Trump is on the precipice of achieving the most lasting and impactful part of his presidential legacy, as the justices he put on the Supreme Court prepare to help overturn Roe v. Wade and cement the former president’s status as a hero to social conservatives. But for a man who rarely opens his mouth without talking about his own (real or alleged) achievements, Trump has been near-silent on abortion since it became clear Roe was going under. Instead, Trump has been privately fretting about what the impending collapse of abortion rights will do for his own political prospects, telling those close to him that the issue could hurt him with “suburban women” should he try to retake the White House in 2024. “Suburban women have been a recurring concern for [former] President Trump, including during the 2020 campaign, when his smarter advisers were sounding the alarm to him about how he was losing suburbs. He is … worried women in the suburbs could punish him for this one day, … [Read more...] about Exclusive: Trump Is Telling Allies His Record on Abortion Could Hurt His 2024 Chances
