'Took the Long Way'

But perhaps the most surreal aspect is Zedd's dance-floor version of the song

The opening lyrics to Shania Twain‘s “You’re Still the One” take on surrealistic new levels of meaning in the video for her dance-floor ready redo of the song with Zedd: “Looks like we made it/Look how far we’ve come, my baby,” she sings … riding a star-adorned unicorn. The video, which is essentially an ad for Candy Crush since the game sponsored the collab, bursts with glimmery psychedelia, literally Shania in the Sky With Diamonds. Filmmaker Jonas Åkerlund directed the clip.

The president is promising to pay every adult $5,000 if Republicans stay in power. Why doesn't he just do it now?

Donald Trump and the Republican Party know they’re in trouble.

From the December 1991 issue of Car and Driver.

This car is about relentless luxury. In designing the new 400SE, Mer­cedes engineers pursued sheer auto­motive indulgence with an intensity that would impress Robin Leach. Consider the following features: Plenty of leg and head room for four six-foot-four passengers, even in the short-wheelbase 400SE that we tested. Dual-spring seatbelt retractors that gently snug the belts against the passengers’ shoulders but retract them smartly when the belts are unlatched. Power door closers that either cinch the side doors shut if you barely push them against their latches or let you slam them shut with satisfying authority. Remote-control door locks that communicate through three separate receivers and change their infrared transmitted code with each use, in case someone tries to steal the car by intercepting your signal. (Is this an answer to a question nobody asked?)

Deborah Haynes covers serious stuff, like foreign affairs, national security and defense — the sorts of topics that might not make good fodder for a snarky newsletter or a hot-talk podcast. Even so, her employer, Sky News, has some new ideas about how to reach viewers that could put Haynes in contact with viewers similar to the ones that enjoy those up-and-coming creator ventures.

It’s hard to describe all of the feelings provoked by watching a film like Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor’s NAZA. Outrage for sure. Indignity as well. Most certainly disgust, on a profound level, for the current Israeli regime and its prime minister, Bibi Netanyahu.
