Still on his high horse. The post The most “arrogant” rock star Noel Gallagher ever saw first appeared on Far Out Magazine.

by Jack Montgomery, The National Pulse: The Department of Justice (DOJ) has published transcripts and hours of audio from Deputy Attorney Todd Blanche’s recent interviews with Ghislaine Maxwell, convicted of trafficking children to deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein in 2021. The interviews, published on the DOJ website, were set up amid public backlash over the agency’s release of a memo suggesting Epstein had […]

'Here we are again'

BREAKING: Thousands of flags were risen across Central London ?? last night in large-scale "Raise the Colours" operation The fight back has officially begun. UTL COMMENT:- Go get 'em boys!!! https://t.me/theyorkshirelassnews

Well, he has done it again. Kevin Bacon has once more raised the bar even higher in the "coolest husband ever" category. If you're holding out for a hero, I think we've found him.It's no secret that Bacon and his longtime wife, best friend, and fellow actor, Kyra Sedgwick, are deeply in love. As they come upon their 37th wedding anniversary next month, they've both shown countless public displays of affection—often pushing the boundaries of what romance even is: never gooey, always inspiring, as it seems their friendship is the ground floor of a very beautiful high rise.So, when her 60th birthday rolled around this week, Bacon knew he had to do something special: he went out and got her two adorable baby calves. In a video posted on Instagram, he shares on camera, "When the love of your life has a big birthday, sometimes it's important to think long and hard about something she might really like. But she doesn't really NEED. So…happy birthday!" See on Instagram He then turns the camera to reveal two tiny calves which he tells us are named "Tater" and "Tot." He gives them little ear scratches while they chew on hay. We then cut to Kyra, who strolls across their Connecticut farm cutely announcing, "I'm excited to see my birthday presents" as she heads toward the barn.She peers into their stable and it would seem her heart immediately melts. "Oh my gosh," she gushes as she bends down to feed one. "Hi, you beauties. It's so nice to meet you!" As Tater begins nuzzling his head on her, she says, "Look how handsome you are. Look how beautiful you are! You are so gorgeous, oh my gosh!"Now both Tater and Tot are at her feet while she pets them and continues, "Oh my gosh, look at their little feet. Beautiful!" At this point, Bacon, who is holding the camera, comes back in and asks, "Who's hungry?" Both calves look up expectantly. Bacon and Sedgwick begin feeding them milk (or some kind of milk formula) out of baby bottles. Sedgwick instructs, "And you've got to do it nice and high, so that their neck cricks."We end the InstaReel with a still shot of Kyra surrounded by her two loving and now adoring birthday gifts. See on Instagram In the comment section, Bacon writes, "A milestone birthday could only call for two things… Meet Tater & Tot! Happy birthday, @kyrasedgwickofficial you deserve the world, and more. I love you!"Many supportive and loving comments follow. "Oh my gosh, your family and animals bring me joy that is desperately needed right now. There’s nothing better than a man who adores his wife and animals."And this one seemed perfectly suited, and I'm sure one which both Sedgwick and the calves would appreciate: "They even have her beautiful hair." See on Instagram Tater and Tot will no doubt be a wonderful additions to their already large family of animals, including Bacon's delightful goats, to whom he often sings.

Proving that there is still plenty good to be gleaned from TikTok, one simple video of someone chatting about something as mundane as the weather has unexpectedly brought together two communities that are miles apart, but share common history. It all started when content creator and fitness influencer Torgi Squire (@starboysobersfitness)—who just so happens to look EXACTLY like actor Sterling K. Brown with locs—posted a video ranting about the weather shift that happens just as school starts (don’t ask me for specifics, I couldn't make anything out save for “this is why Scottish people are so hearty”) in a thick Scottish accent. Judging from the comments, people were SHOOK to learn that yes, in fact, Black people exist in Scotland. In particular, Black Americans were thrilled and fascinated to learn they had brethren across the pond. @starboysobersfitness PSA any tourists want guaranteed good Scottish weather book for the second week in August. Thank me later #scottishtiktok #blackscottishtiktok #relatable #scottishweather #sunshineonscotchbeef ♬ original sound - Starboy|Fitness “I didn’t know we come in Scottish!” one viewer wrote.Still others could not handle the Sterling K. Brown likeness. “I didn’t know they made Sterling K Brown in Scottish font!” someone quipped.Regardless, Squire was tickled by the whole thing, as is evident by the follow-up video he made, saying, “Yes, I am Black. Yes, I am Scottish. I am not Sassenach, I am not Irish, I am not Welsh. Forty-three years born and raised in Scotland, 100 percent Scotch beef right here.” Though he did warn folks that he’s never seen Outlander. @starboysobersfitness Yes, this accent comes in melanin too, welcome to black Scottish Tik Tok. @ABI? @Court @BashTheEntertainer #scottishtiktok #blackscottishtiktok #relatable #wecomeinmelanintoo #US ♬ original sound - Starboy|Fitness Wanting other Black Scottish folks to get some of the love pouring in from the US, Squire listed other content creators like @abiakinn and @ceexcc, and pretty soon #blackscottish TikTok began blowing up.And yes, there were kilts involved. @chocolatenjuice I heard they’re asking what’s the swag like ??️? #blackscottishtiktok #blackscottish #scotland #foruyou #foruyou ♬ NOKIA - Drake @quietjoyclub oh hi americans, finally meeting your black scottish cousins! ? we’ve been here all along, just quietly vibing on the fyp. so glad this trend is shining a light on us. - #GrowingUpBlackInScotland #BlackScottish #BlackCreatorsUK #RepresentationMatters #FYP ♬ original sound - ayoola | joy in abundance It’s hard to tell which part is more delightful, the genuine excitement at this discovery…or Sterling K Brown’s own excitement alone. According to his wife, Ryan Michelle Bathe’s Threads post, he “has been speaking with a Scottish brogue all day.”“Send help and a kilt please.” Ryan Michelle Bathe's tweet about Sterling K. Brown.@ryanmichelleb/ThreadsWhile Black Scottish people make up less of the country’s population as compared to Black Americans (roughly 1.2% versus 14.4%), their presence has existed since the 15th century. Yes, slavery played a major part in this, but there was also a surge caused by Black American GI's being stationed in Scotland during WWII, many of whom experienced a much more positive reception there than in the US. This inspired many to set up a home there—Arthur Roberts, for example, spent the rest of his days in Glasgow. Then there was the Windrush Generation between 1948 and 1971, wherein people in the Caribbean were invited to the UK to help rebuild post-war Britain—which included Scotland. And for those on the pop culture scene, you might already be familiar with certain Black Scottish celebs, like renowned singer songwriter Emeli Sandé, as well as Sex Education star (and 14th Doctor in Doctor Who!) Ncuti Gatwa. @lylamiklos Turns out Ncuti Gatwa, the newest Doctor, was pronouncing his own name wrong for 26 years!?!?! It is actually pronounced “N-Shoo-Tee”. #TheMoreYouKnow ♬ original sound - Lyla Miklos Yes, this trend brought on some lighthearted entertainment, but what makes it truly special is the celebration of shared roots and the authentic cultural exchange happening. Both parties can connect on what it must feel like to blend two heritages and carve out their own unique identity. These are the types of conversations that make social media a power for good.And that’s pure dead brilliant, as the Scots say. (Am I saying it right?)
