Russian journalist Marina Ovsyannikova , who became a symbol of fearless dissent when she interrupted a live TV broadcast in March to protest her country’s invasion of Ukraine, has been placed under house arrest in Moscow pending a trial related to a fresh anti-war protest in July. Ovsyannikova was arrested on August 10 in a police raid on her Moscow home. She appeared in court on Thursday (August 11) where she was charged with spreading fake news about the military, an offense that carries up to ten years in prison under Russian law. The charges are not related to her original TV protest but rather a fresh action in mid-July in which she stood opposite the Kremlin, holding a placard with slogans criticizing President Vladimir Putin and the Russian army. At her feet lay two dolls covered in red dye to highlight the deaths of children in the conflict. Following her first protest in March, which resulted in a brief arrest and $527 fine (30,000 rubles), Ovsyannikova … [Read more...] about Russian Anti-War Journalist Marina Ovsyannikova Placed Under House Arrest In Moscow, Faces 10-Year Prison Sentence

Performing alongside Allan Mayes — who played in Rusty with Costello when the two were teenagers over 50 years ago — Costello delivered a cover of Nick Lowe’s “Surrender to the Rhythm,” off their recent reunion LP Rusty: The Resurrection of Rust . The rocker also talked about the reemergence of Rusty a half-century later during an interview with Jimmy Fallon; the then-Declan MacManus played in the folk duo starting in 1971 after he moved to Liverpool. “We played for about a year together,” Costello said. “We’ve been going our different ways since.” “Allan rang me up and said ‘It’s been 50 years since we started our partnership.’ We would play everywhere in Liverpool, where they would let us, and a few places where they wouldn’t let us,” Costello added, telling Mayes, “Let’s make the record we would have made if they let us … [Read more...] about Elvis Costello Reunites With Rusty, Announces 10-Show NYC Residency on ‘Fallon’

There are smooth talkers, and then there’s Simon Leviev. Compared to him, most conmen are slick as sandpaper. This is how Simon rolled: go on the dating app Tinder, pose as a guy looking for love. Attributes: handsome, emotionally available, sharp dresser, and oh yeah, rich. Really rich. With pluses like that, who wouldn’t swipe right? A lot of smart, beautiful, even sophisticated women did, as revealed in the Emmy-nominated Netflix documentary The Tinder Swindler . “The women in the film, first and foremost, they were looking for a boyfriend.

Opinions expressed are solely those of the author and do not reflect the views of Rolling Stone editors or publishers. As one of the fastest-growing, highly regulated industries in the country, the cannabis industry has been a potential goldmine for years. Brands have evolved from illicit-market-esque branding with sophisticated marketing strategies. In the messy throes of brand strategy, in-store design, social media marketing, digital advertising and more, packaging design remains an underestimated piece of the mix. Cannabis product packaging is a quiet sales pitch to your customers to buy your product; it communicates the price, value, product benefits and the brand’s identity. It is often the first touchpoint when a customer browses displays in a dispensary. In fact, 72 percent of American consumers say that a product’s packaging design has an impact on their decision to buy. Let’s look at why cannabis packaging is so overlooked and how you can change the game by … [Read more...] about Cannabis Packaging Regulations and Best Practices

A Chinese court has rejected an appeal by a young woman who alleged sexual harassment against a popular male TV host in what has been referred to as a landmark case. Foreign media outfits reporting locally have called the decision a blow to China’s #MeToo movement. In 2018, Zhou Xiaoxuan accused CCTV host Zhu Jun of making unwanted advances, including kissing and groping her, while she was an intern at the broadcaster in 2014. Last September, a Beijing court dismissed Zhou’s claims saying the now-29-year-old had not presented sufficient evidence. The appeal was rejected yesterday on similar grounds. Zhou previously said the judge in the case had refused her requests to retrieve evidence, including security camera footage from outside the dressing room where the incident allegedly took place. Speaking to supporters after the verdict, Zhou said, “Four years have passed, and the most important thing is that we have raised this question: when a woman encounters … [Read more...] about Chinese Court Rejects Plaintiff’s Appeal In Landmark Sexual Harassment Case Against TV Host
