We’ve spent weeks skewering Harry Styles over his floundering acting efforts . The man can’t act, they say—and I agree. He’s very, very bad in Don’t Worry Darling . So bad, in fact, that he’s been making theaters full of people burst into laughter at his yelps to Florence Pugh . But we aren’t talking enough about the best part of Don’t Worry Darling , which does involve our favorite goofy guy: the tap dancing scene. What is Harry Styles, if not a dazzling stage performer? “This scene makes no sense,” you tell me, furrowing your brow, after walking out of the theater. You’re confused as to why Jack (Styles) throws down a full tap dancing routine in response to receiving a work promotion, all during a large banquet. You’re right. It doesn’t make sense. But that’s what makes it the perfect scene. Let me clarify now that I do not think this scene is actually good ; I simply appreciate the fact that it can make me laugh .

Fletcher, the charming, muckraking reporter with a knack for stumbling across kidnappings and corpses and the most corrupt members of our nation’s One-percent.

Illustration: Doug Chayka One way to understand the past five years of social media is as a race to see who can copy TikTok the fastest and with the least dignity. Instagram (Reels), YouTube (Shorts), and most recently Facebook (Suggested for You) have all undergone covetous and occasionally disastrous renovations inspired by the video-sharing service. It was notable, then, when TikTok announced a copycat of its own on September 15, “a daily prompt to capture a ten-second video or a static photo to easily share what you’re up to.” This, the company says, is a way to share “your most authentic moments with the people who matter the most.” Users of BeReal , the French photo-sharing app that rocketed to popularity this year, will recognize the concept: the surprise notification; the apparently simultaneous double-camera image capture; a suggestion of “realness” or “authenticity.” Lest it be said that TikTok isn’t innovating, it will give users three minutes rather than … [Read more...] about TikTok Is the New King of Social Media.
