The singer live debuted her brand new single 'Formation' at the show, taking center stage in front of a bevy of backup dancers. The routine was going along flawlessly, as per usual, when Beyoncé did a backwards hop and lost her footing for the briefest of moments. In true Queen Bey form, she kept right on dancing – and somehow managed to make her misstep look like it was all part of the plan.

At least six people have died and hundreds have been evacuated as Texas continues to suffer from severe flooding brought on by torrential rain storms.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott declared a state of disaster in 31 flood-affected counties after the Brazos River swelled to 54.8 feet. Anything above 51.3 feet is considered a major flood.
The above images, from NASA’s Earth Observatory, compare the river at normal levels in May 2013 and overflowing its banks on May 28 of this year.

A few weeks into self-quarantine, I started catching myself in some pretty mundane fantasies: a picnic in the park. A movie in a crowded theater with friends, followed by a late dinner to pick it apart. Happy hour drinks at some boisterous, dimly lit bar. A weekend upstate with my parents. The common factor in all this is, of course, the idea of relaxing in the company of others—a.k.a. “hanging out.

On May 30, 1868, Gen. John A. Logan visited Arlington National Cemetery to speak at a ceremony for what was then called Decoration Day — and in doing so, set a precedent that holds to this day.
That event, organized three years after the end of the Civil War by the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR), the major Union veterans association that he ran, is considered the first national Memorial Day celebration ever to be held at Arlington National Cemetery.

The Overnight, out Friday, is one of the most explicit movies in recent memory: The story of a double-date dinner party that lasts until sunrise, it encompasses all manner of intoxicating substances, skinny-dipping and frank conversation among the four principals.

When Black Panther opened last weekend to record-breaking box office success, many of the viewers driving the film to that achievement were female moviegoers, who made up 45% of the audience. Though that number may defy conventional wisdom about superhero movies, it’s not so surprising given the actual plot of the movie. After all, as the University of Pennsylvania’s Salamishah Tillet noted for The Hollywood Reporter, the movie doesn’t just pass the Bechdel test — a measure of the substantiality of a film’s female characters — but “those scenes in which two or more women are talking to, disagreeing with, or fighting alongside each other without a man present are some of the movie’s most riveting ones.
