The Music Never Stopped
Dead & Co, Zayn, Billie, Harry, Taylor, Kacey, Romy Mars, Cannes fashion, Vanderpump, The Valley, Ayo for VF, Carrie Bradshaw + much more.
Hi hi hi.
Happy Friday of a long weekend! Bless.
Currently, I’m still applying moisturizer every two seconds to combat the dryness that is the air in Vegas. But boy is it nice to see the sun shine every single day—and be able to imbibe a delicious Coffee Bean chai latte whenever I want.
There’s a v. niche burst of joy I get from one of these (iced or hot) and if you don’t realize how much better they do this at Coffee Bean vs. Starbucks, then you’re really missing out.
I’ve got one more Dead & Co show tonight where I will once again transform back into this lil hippie youth.
The setlist on Saturday night was an absolute dream and included some really special full circle moments for me and my crew.
Obvs, I cried. In a cool way.
We got so many things from my manifestation list. To open the second set, they literally went in the order I had on the list: “Scarlet Fire” into “Eyes of the World” into “Terrapin Station”. It was fucking insane and I loved every second. “Throwing Stones” made the cut too. Four from the list? DOPE.
Get after it, Mickey!
There was so much goodness. Who knows what tonight will bring????????
It’s also really cool to see what new visuals will emerge—and how you can experience something you’ve seen before in a totally new way because of what song is playing.
If you’re thinking about going, DO IT. The resale market is not bad at all. Just know that GA floor tix are not transferable (as in you need to walk in with whoever has the tickets in their account), so you should get those directly from Ticketmaster. You’ll pay face value as that’s how the Dead has set it up. But the tickets for the seats are transferable, so you can look on TM or the legit spots like StubHub and Seat Geek, etc, where you likely will be able to find something at or even under FV.
Sidebar: Speaking of Ticketmaster, I don’t know that I have much faith anything is changing on this front in America anytime soon. But go try and get ‘em, DOJ.
Then it’s back to Indy where many in the world of sport will be converging this weekend.
Memorial Day Weekend always means on thing in Indy: The Greatest Spectacle in Racing, aka the Indianapolis 500. Or if you’re from my neck of the woods, simply The Race. Whether you like racing or not, if you grew up here you know a lot more than the average American.
The way Taylor is naming cats in this video, that’s what many of us sound like naming Indy car drivers, past and present. I will be cheering for my friend Heather’s husband/Indy’s own, Ed Carpenter.
We’ve also got games 3 + 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals, with the Celtics coming to town. And no, I’m still not over how many times we blew Game 1 at the end of regulation…but I’m really fucking proud of our guys in general.
LFGGGGGGGG AT HOME, BOYS!
Can we take a moment to sit with how hot Obi Toppin looked in his pre-game 2 fit? He always looks amazing, but the way this is so “Harry-coded but make it NBA” sent me reeling.
Speaking of that Fruit Witch, yes of course I saw the news of the split. I hope all are doing well and channeling whatever they’re feeling into their respective art. TR will remain on the list of exes I adore regardless of their connection to this man. I dug her before they met and this has not changed.
Italrry (Summer Version) is in full effect.
He’s out here hopping on a bike share1 and shopping for kitchenware in a shirt he’s had for a decade+ and a new Pleasing bag that I will absolutely buy when it is available. To be fair, I DO use my others ones alllll the time. One is my yoga/gym bag and the other is for pool/beach time.
And…there’s the Pleasing post. You all had me at hello.
Swooooooon. It’s also definitely starting to smell like, “I could absolutely bag H if we met in the right situation” season once more—and I’m not mad about it. It’s my favorite delusion.
I can feel HS4 percolating and I’m already feral. I can’t wait.
Separately, this made me laugh so hard.
This comment LOLOLOLOLOL.
I’ve not watched Bridgerton since the first season, but if you’re looking for fun coverage of the latest one, head over to
. They’ve got you.A few more quick notes before we get to the rest:
I’m so mad Tom’s run in Romeo + Juliet ends just before I’ll be in London in August. But look how cute these two are? And that dress is ofc perfection for that moment.
Yes, please, and thank you.
Let’s all be more like Sarah in this regard, yes? Let us brag on ourselves and celebrate accomplishments big and small. Get it started in the comments if you want, I’d love to hear what you’re proud of about YOU right now. It’s only corny or cringe if you let someone make you feel that way.
Whatever rebrand Jessica Biel is attempting is a HARD NO from me. I’ve always found her to be a real wet blanket of a personality and a not-very-talented actress. Now she’s “writing” children’s books? About periods? I am all for convos about periods. It’s so dumb that there’s still a stigma. But along with just, “Why Jessica Biel?” is my absolute distrust in her views on science, in general.
Here she is in 2019 with none other than RFK Jr. being all anti-vax well before the pandie. I was still writing at Glamour then and covered this at the time. She tried to backtrack, but I was never having it.
My eyes, they’re rolling.
Beanie volunteers at Experience Camp and uses Taylor songs when posting cute photos of herself. We continue to stan.
Welcome back to having a compelling cover + cover star, Vanity Fair. This is excellent and Ayo is the best.
I just adore her so.
Same, girl. Same.
Tangentially, I also needed everyone to touch some grass when they freaked out over a video of her and Jeremy Allen White at a Cubs game. You can read the Dazed piece here.
I liked this passage and wasn’t familiar with the concept described by Hardt, but will be looking into that further.
Friends can and should be deeply intimate with one another. Life is too short for us not to touch, hold, and even kiss our friends as much as we can. To restrict this type of intimacy, and permit it only in monogamous relationships, is to deny our loved ones and ourselves what American philosopher Michael Hardt describes as “red love”. Hardt believes we can only experience a red, revolutionary love when “property love” (a love that suggests you are owned by another individual, and as a result, can’t deeply love or be loved by another) is abolished.
Absolutely not to bringing this squinty-ass man back. Nope, nope, nope. Chad Michael Murray has never, ever done it for me. Remember when he got engaged to a teenager? Yeah, he was on my “no” list well before that.
We have been firmly Team Nathan in this household and have never wavered. So, a big yes to this thirst trap.
I absolutely watched One Tree Hill through every insane twist and turn of the later seasons and we may need to revisit some of those moments in an upcoming We Have to Go Back post.

Now onto all the other nonsense of the day…
And Just Like That…
I want to fucking die over this dumb show (derogatory), but am also delighted beyond belief that it is filming again. Multitudes contained, remember? I will hate watch each and every episode as soon as it drops because I don’t know how to live without a mild amount of torture in my life.
Is this hat the dumbest thing Carrie Bradshaw has ever worn? It just may be.
Meanwhile I actually love the dress, which is giving me some old school Marc by Marc vibes with the way the muted color blocking is executed. And I’m here for the return of Dr. Scholl’s, which I’m sure Gen Z will pretend they invented.
Of course, this moron is returning. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.
If you’re new, I’m a Never Aidan. Always have been. Always will be. I wrote “17 Reasons Why Aidan Shaw Sucks” back in February 2023 and I could easily add 17 more things to this list purely based on the last season of AJLT.
Also, I hate Aidan. I’ve always hated Aidan. I will forever hate Aidan. I find the character to be incredibly lame and completely unsuited for Carrie, who is obviously messy…but that’s not the point. Even if you like this guy (ew), WHYYYYYYY would you want to see this again? It doesn’t make sense from a character or story perspective for either of them.
I would rather see Berger—complete with a lifetime supply of Post-Its—a thousand times over. But the show shouldn’t do that either when there’s a whole wide world to explore.
I can’t even imagine what asshattery the show will get up to this season, especially when it comes to this dumb furniture maker. I’ll need to come up with some kind of ranking or mini-franchise or something that’s not a recap, but more like less intense Kendrick-style diss of all the dumb things it does.
Why can’t we be so over we need a new word for over?!? WHY??????
Bravo Quickies
Kathryn Dennis got arrested for a DUI. She is awful, but that also just makes me so sad. Those poor kids. Never forget, their dad is Thomas Ravenel.
In happier news, Something About Her2 is open at last!!!!!! I will be in LA at the end of June and I cannot wait to get my hands on a sandwich.
Loverboy will be served, which is a Summer House/VPR crossover I love + is a v. smart partnership.
Speaking of crossover content, this is just excellent stuff. If you’ve ever been the person explaining the tangled web of the Sur-verse to anyone, you’ll especially love it. West is just the BEST. He is 1000000p the best new casting move Bravo has made in ages.
I thought this week’s VPR reunion ep was better than the first, which is typically not true of the Bravo three-parters. Katie and Ariana supremacy all the way, with a side of James and Ally. Everyone else is flopping so badly, it’s embarrassing.
It’s still crazy to me how bad that first trailer for The Valley was, given how excellent this season has been. And by excellent, I obviously mean filled with garbage people doing garbage things. Jax is an absolute monster, but fuck if he’s not compelling. He’s always been a star. A terrible, terrible human being. But born to be a reality star…that I would love to punch in his fragile nose.
Let the Music Play
Okay, there’s much going on in the audio world at the moment and we are all the luckier for it.
If you’re any amount of online, you probably saw that Apple Music dropped their Top 100 albums and lots of people got fired up. Guys, we all realize these are meant to cause all that conversation and engagement right? That’s a huge reason why lists like this are created. It’s all good. Art is subjective. You’re always going to have issues with something like this and that’s FINE. Nobody needs to go to war over it. (LOL, as if the internet would ever calm down over such things.)
I’m not mad at #1 though. The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill is brilliant. It takes me back to my early days in NYC and if you haven’t listened to it in full in a while, do yourself a favor and throw it on this weekend.
One of the very best nepo babies dropped music this week and I’m quite into it. Romy Mars is the 17-year-old daughter of Sofia Coppola and Thomas Mars, the lead singer of Phoenix…so it’s not suprising that she’s got a lot of talent and cool running through her veins. You may remember that we talked about her here when she got in trouble for trying to rent a helicopter to go see her camp friend.
Icon behavior, frankly.
She released two singles: “Stuck Up” and “From a Distance” and I honestly love them. Back in that post from last March (which also includes my first reactions to Eras!), I said that “Everything Is Everything” by Phoenix was “my entire personality for a while back in the day” so it’s not that surprising that I dig what Romy’s up to.
(I also love that I could drop two different songs I love with the same title into this newsy.)
The sound is giving me ethereal indie pop, breezy summertime but make it diaristic deadpan vibes. YUM. There’s a real ease to her voice and sound and I think we’re gonna see big things from this kid.
We declared Charlie Puth should be a bigger artist…and he listened.
Kacey dropped the lyric video for “The Architect” one of my fave songs on the new album.
Also, she and Madi finally performed their duet “Don’t Do Me Good” together at one of the London shows and I’m so jealous of everyone who was there. Including Harry Edward Styles, ever the supportive friend. (They’ve both opened for H + Madi played in his band last summer, as well.)
Seems like a perfect time to repost these too…
My friend Ashleigh was at this show and I’ll never not be jealous of that fact. But I think we all know there’s a good chance I wouldn’t have survived until the end of this “Space Cowboy”.
While we’re on the topic of former members of One Direction…we didn’t get to Zayn’s new album, Room Under the Stairs, last week—but I’m extremely into it, from front to back.
Let’s set the scene a bit.
It’s 2024 and we’ve got Zayn out here doing interviews in a way that doesn’t seem like he’s about to crawl out of his skin, able to speak about himself and even his time in the band without a lot of the pain and anxiety that seemed to haunt him for so long.
It makes me so very happy to see him in such a comfortable place. As I’ve said before, “you can smell the therapy on him” and I mean that in such a complimentary way. Whatever he is doing appears to be working well for him and his life.
It’s obvious a lot of that healing has come through becoming a parent to his daughter, Khai, who he shares with ex Gigi Hadid. I was a HUGE Zigi fan and low-key wish they’d get back together one day. (We know how I feel about Bradley Cooper!)
Of course, we don’t condone putting hands on anyone—but let’s just say I can imagine how insane it would be to have Yolanda as your de facto mother-in-law and leave it at that.
These clips can legit make me well up.
Zayn with Zane.
And he’s gonna tour again!!!! He did an intimate show at the O2 for the album’s release and loved it.
So that’s the Zayn that was making this album and that thread of feeling more comfortable with oneself and also more vulnerable runs through the lyrics and the sound. It’s also something I very much relate to personally.
It’s a very stripped down and acoustic Zayn that we haven’t really seen before. He worked with Dave Cobb who has produced for Chris Stapleton, Brandi Carlile, John Prine, Sturgill Simpson, and the like. This is not the fully R&B-tinged Zayn we’ve heard before and while I liked that v. much, this is extremely my vibe.
Zayn was the strongest vocalist from the jump when 1D was formed and he has a ton of range, but I’m a big fan of artists playing in their lower register3—and he does that a fair amount on this album. There’s a real warmth and feeling to it for me. Don’t worry, the high notes he’s famous for haven’t disappeared.
I feel like we’ve discussed the first two singles—”What I Am” and “Alienated”—already and those are still up very high on my favorites list. Actually, I think “What I Am” is still #1, so well played on that choice, Z.
But here are a few others I think you should check out to get a feel for where he is right now.
“Stardust”
“Grateful”
I love this lyric: “Things change and I’m okay with what I’m not. Feels wasteful to be hateful. I’ll be grateful with what I’ve got.
“Birds On a Cloud”
How am I not going to get down with a song that has a lyric as pleading and devastating as “Please give me one more day of happiness. I need it, I need it.”
“Dreamin’"
I just want to be sipping on an Old Fashioned and talking about life when I hear this song. I can’t wait to play it at the lake in July.
(And don’t think for a second my brain doesn’t immediately flash to the opening of “Meet Me in the Hallway” when this song starts with that count in…)
The other big album drop last Friday was Hit Me Hard and Soft from Billie Eilish, produced by her brother Finneas, as per usual (complimentary). I love the title!
Now, I’m not a big Billie girl.
That is not to say that I don’t think she’s incredible and quite brilliant and all the things that people feel about her. I’ve certainly been very moved by some of her music and think that the way she and Finneas create is fascinating and fruitful and important. I also adore their sibling relationship.
But I just don’t have deep connections to her work that so many others do. I can totally see why people feel how they feel about her art and I’m very glad she’s in the world and creating and all that stuff. It just doesn’t take hold inside my body the way certain music does for me.
I have only listened to this album a couple times and am like, cool! I like it.
I am no music critic and only ever give my thoughts as a normie who can’t play an instrument or carry a tune, but loves music a whole lot. I know there are new layers to the sounds Finneas has created and Billie is certainly exploring new topics and feelings, etc…but there’s a lot of sameness for me.
Now, that’s not inherently a bad thing AT ALL. I am very much on the record as believing that artists should NOT feel like they have to reinvent themselves or their sound with every album. I am a person who loves sameness in many facets of life, including music. And it may be the way I see things is because I don’t know the ins and outs of her music well. But if something hasn’t been connecting with you in a big way previously, that sorta stays the same too. At least, in this particular instance. For me.
That’s not a diss! It’s just my take at the moment. Maybe I’ll feel differently if I listen more and that would be rad. I’m down for whatever. I’m so happy for everyone who loves it and there are lots of more musically educated people who have found it revelatory. As I said, I don’t NOT like anything that’s happening here.
The songs that popped for me seem to be those that popped for other non-stans too. I am sure many would find my choices here basic—and I care not.
“Lunch”
A straight-up pop banger, Billie-style. Love.
“Wildflower”
I love the longing in this one. Is there something Fleetwood Mac-y hiding in here or is that just me?
“Skinny”
To me, this is Billie™ and I mean that as a very positive comment. In sound, in lyrics, in emotion. All of it.
“The Diner”
There’s a darkness with a wink to this one that I think is uniquely Billie + Finneas. I dig it.
If you’re a big Billie person (or not!) and have other favorites on the album, I’d love to know yours. Talk to me.
Mais, Oui!
I’m so glad I don’t have to cover Cannes day in and day out, but I do enjoy this time of year and wanted to include a bunch of things that have caught my eye from the south of France en ce moment.
Coolest cool girl continues to be cool. In Chloé, natch.
Marlowe!4 She’s so grown up and adorable! What a perfect dress for her.
Now, this wasn’t Cannes, but I’m dropping it here because of the Chloé of it all. J. Lo showed up in this dress at a premiere for this Netflix movie she’s in, I guess? I can’t be bothered to know anything about Atlas.
Let’s talk about this look for a second. Obviously, she is Jennifer Lopez and looks gorgeous—but this is so not the right pairing of person and dress. And the shoes don’t work for me here. It’s giving mild identity crisis…which might not be too far off from what’s happening over on Lopez Island as of late.
What say you?
Meanwhile, I can’t stop lamenting the fact that I can’t afford every piece of this Chloé collection. I have to get the shoes though, right? RIGHT?
Back to the south of France, where this Loewe feels like exactly the right vibe for Aubrey Plaza’s personality. Jonathan Anderson is a great match for her Big Quirk Energy.
No, but seriously, we have to extricate the cool girls from current Chanel. I will not stop screaming this from the rooftops. I’m seeing something and I’m saying something. It’s gone too far, for too long.
Then you see stories like this one from Business of Fashion and think we might be stuck in this hell longer than we’d like. Those numbers are very accessories driven (which is very normal for a luxury house) but also could be pumped up due to price increases, as BoF notes. Still, ugh.
We need to get out of this fashion hellscape.
Whilst, I remain in a big old eye-roll phase with Annie and I’m never watching that movie that ruined one of my favorite books5…she does look great and I WILL engage with a discourse among people that somehow don’t realize women in their 40s and beyond do not look like decrepit old hags.
This is another custom dress from Zac Posen in his new role at Gap.
On the fashion front, I very much agree with much of what Lauren Sherman wrote in her Line Sheet dispatch yesterday.
I received lots of requests to offer feedback on the Zac Posen-designed dress made for Anne Hathaway, who wore it to a Bulgari event in Rome. (“Zac and Gap about to get Sheeted,” a friend said.) The dress—a refashioned white shirt, lightly corseted—was branded Gap, and will be available, in some iteration, to preorder on the company’s website sooner than later, according to an Instagram post. You may recall that Posen is the creative director of Gap Inc. and chief creative officer of Old Navy. (In a recent press release, they called him a “cultural curator.”)
First, I’d like to say that Anne Hathaway is hot. Second, the dress is beautifully constructed, and reminded me of Gap’s late-aughts collaboration with a range of American designers riffing on the white shirt6. Third, this is absolutely not the right strategy for Gap at this moment. Stunts like this, or the denim Met Gala dress, raise awareness, and Gap does not need awareness. Gap needs “simple, American clothes that look cool for the masses,” as one frustrated friend told me: cool jeans, the perfect t-shirt, nice-fitting button-ups. They want someone to show them how to dress, not how to dress up.
This week, Gap also launched a collaboration with the California-based brand Dôen, the majority of which promptly sold out. I am happy for Dôen, a truly remarkable company turning out distinctive designs and making money along the way. Their name is better known to the masses now, and the alignment with Gap—another resolutely American brand—is smart. Gap, however, is using overused tricks to solve a fundamental business problem.
Cate Blanchett is crushing it as per usual. I love the silhouette of this gold Vuitton so much.
We can all agree that Kiki Dunst + Landry are one of the all-time best Hollywood couples, right?
I love Cara being Cara in Cannes. I’m still devastated that her sex tech/vibrator brand went under because they were making GREAT stuff. Sigh.
This YSL is fucking delish.
Speaking of a certain man’s exes I love…hi, Cami. Looking chic as ever.
Finally, this is also not Cannes. But how could I not include a clip of the ludicrously capacious bag to end all ludicrously capacious bags? Per High Snobiety’s caption: “@fugazi founder @trevorgorji is at it again, this time with an oversized Birkin-inspired bag that took nearly 2 years to complete.”
Ick Me Once
There is a lot of that icked me out this week, but I will narrow it down to two.
Kevin Costner’s hair—on his head and his face.
I am long on the record as being anti late-stage Costner and I feel good about that stance. If he thinks he’s giving Sam Elliot, he is extremely mistaken.
Stories like this…which I know must have started in the fandom somewhere + then got picked up by Page Six. Insert Broken Media Business Model Rant Here. We’ve seen this film before, ahem, “the mark they saw on my collarbone.” I didn’t even click on the link to the story…
This is gross, Swifties. Don’t do this.
Gen X Moment of Zen
So…Andrew McCarthy made a doc about the Brat Pack and I haven’t been this excited about something non-music related in quite some time.
BRATS starts streaming on Hulu on June 13.
Winona, Winona, Winona. Another Gen X Scorpio queen has arrived with the new Beetlejuice trailer.
I’m also pretty pumped about this one, which isn’t solely Gen X vibes—but it works. We’re going back to the Napster/LimeWire era, y’all.
How Music Got Free premieres on Paramount+ on June 11.
Eras Tour Diary: Stockholm
Taylor is currently on stage in Lisbon as I type this sentence, so we’ll see what she gets up to tonight in terms of the acoustic set soon. The Sweden shows looked like a blast and I had a friend on the ground (the fabulous Heather of the Fug Girls) to confirm my feelings, as she went two nights. I loved this SO MUCH for her and as you know if I can’t be there myself, I want my friends to experience it. Their reports give me great joy!!!
Blondie also dropped three limited edition digital albums with live versions of acoustic songs from Paris as bonus tracks. Obvs, I immediately had to buy the one with “loml” on it. It’s stunning. I regret nothing about sending her another $5.99.
Yes, she might be making power moves to stay atop the charts. I love it. I enjoy this sort of petty so so so so much. And they’re digital—no environmental issue on these. SO THERE. I really hope there’s an acoustic set live album one day with as many songs as she’d like to include.
She also dropped a “Fortnight” remix with BLOND:ISH, which is streaming for all. In case you don’t know, BLOND:ISH is a producer/DJ/environmental activist and if you don’t think that was a very conscious choice of who to partner with, then I feel I’ve taught you nothing about Taylor Alison Swift.
Onto surprise song o’clock…
Blondie paid homage to the great Swedes of pop producing (Max Martin! Shellback!) with many of her surprise selections. Those gents (and their peers) have brought so much joy to my life with Taylor and many other artists. We thank them all for their service to pop icons everywhere.
N2
🎸: “Guilty As Sin”
The first live performance of this one!!!
🎹: “Say Don’t Go” x “Welcome to New York” x “Clean”
What a 1989 trio of goodness!! At the 89th show of the tour, ofc.
N3
🎸: “Message in a Bottle” x “How You Get the Girl” x “New Romantics”
A dash of Red into 1989 is also very Harry-coded. What a treat this combo was. (Not that I’m trying to say she’s sending an actual message—in a bottle or otherwise.)
🎹: How Did It End?
With a clip for the Errors Tour to boot. God, I love this song so intensely. I would have def lost my shit on this one too.
Say it once again with feeling
How the death rattle breathing
Silenced as the soul was leaving
The deflation of our dreaming
Leaving me bereft and reeling
My beloved ghost and me
Sitting in a tree
D-Y-I-N-G
Oh, and…
Jon Lovett is going to be on next season of Survivor and that could be extremely hilarious. Or will it be annoying? We shall find out. Hopefully it’s better than this season, which was pretty much a mess … I legit want good things for the Bills, unless it directly affects my Colts in a negative way—and Keon Coleman has been amazing since he got drafted (and I am sure before, I just didn’t know about him). Plus, we know how I feel about friendship bracelets. So I found this whole arc extremely adorable … Peyton + Caitlin = Cannot lose content for me … The limit does not exist regarding the number of pieces I will read (and have read) about Dominique Dunne’s murder. VF has an excerpt from Griffin Dunne’s memoir, which feels like the only appropriate place for it … There was a big old shakeup in book publishing that took a lot of people by surprise this week … Miley’s on an episode (June 12) of the next batch of Letterman’s Netflix show and I’m very much looking forward to that … I love that the Wade family is creating a platform for trans and other marginalized youth. I can’t wait to see what they create with Translatable … I enjoy Paul Scheer a whole bunch and can’t wait to read his book. If I can once more get myself reading books, that is … Sofia Richie had her baby, a girl named Eloise. Even the name is giving quiet luxury.
Until next week, a wonderful lesson in How to Speak Midwest—in honor of all the happenings in Naptown this weekend.
xA
Nobody loves a bike share more than this man. He has taken the crown from Leo, who was once a CitiBike king.
I keep typing There’s Something About Her. Oops.
Don’t even get me started on how much Taylor has embraced the alto that she is more and more these days.
Sienna’s daughter, age 11, with her ex, Tom Sturridge. She very much has a type and I relate to that deeply.
Can you believe they had the nerve to film at my grief camp locale in Georgia? THE NERVE ;)
I went back to college two summers ago after dropping out in 1996, and I graduated back on May 3rd. My younger daughter graduated the following week (older daughter will be graduating in December). It's never too late to go back, y'all!
I enjoyed reading this. Nicely written & yessss to the visuals. 🙃
