Harry Styles' Grammy Performance, Explained
His rotating turntable went in One Direction... the wrong one. โ Deadly earthquakes in Turkey, and TikTok could let you reset your For You page ๐
I cannot beLIEVE I forgot to mention this yesterday but it was Belโs birthday (ah!!!) so we took her out for a cute bday brunch to help us all phoenix before the work day. (If you want to wish her a happy bday you can do so by subscribing to her Saturday newsy ๐ฅบ)
I was kinda dead to the WORLD yesterday - after sending the newsy and catching up with Bel, Liv and I recorded her second to last Culture Vulture ep ever (๐ฅ) all about Netflix and The Grammys, and then I came home to work but ended up sleeping for HOURS! I just canโt handle a big weekend anymore!!!
Hope youโre all happy and thriving and I love you way too much ๐

Over 6000 people are dead after an earthquake hit Turkey
A 7.8 magnitude earthquake hit Turkey on Monday, followed by a 7.5 magnitude tremor, leaving over 6000 people dead across Turkey and Syria. This number is still expected to rise, and right now more than 2,600 emergency workers from 65 countries have been sent to the disaster area to assist Turkish rescuers.
I also saw some videos of birds acting weird before the quake on Twitter that I thought Iโd pop in here:
If you want to help those affected in Turkey and Syria, hereโs a good round-up of how you can do so.
Harry Stylesโ Grammy Performance, explained
Rolling Stone called Harry Stylesโ performance at the Grammys โlethargic,โ Buzzfeed said โit felt offโ and Liv and I thought it was kinda lacklustre (for a Harry Styles performance) - and now we know why. In a now-deleted TikTok (however Iโve seen a few more floating around), one of Harryโs dancers made a video explaining how theyโd been rehearsing the most beautiful choreography for about 10 days and by the dress rehearsal it was looking immaculate (for those who missed it, they performed on a rotating treadmill - kinda like in the music video) but when they went to perform the actual number, live on the night, THE TREADMILL WAS ROTATING BACKWARDS! The dancers tried to get the attention of the technician but no one noticed, so they had to try and reverse all their choreo and duets, explaining why it felt a bit slow and disjointed - they were trying to do it all backwards!
Obviously, this is me taking the dancersโ story at face value, but it kinda explainsโฆ. a lot! That would fucking suck, and I feel for him, not gonna lie.
Speaking of the Grammys - Liv and I unpacked it in yesterdayโs Culture Vulture!!
We talked about Netflix fucking around and finding out, and gave all our hot Harry Styles takes ๐๐
An interview I really want you all to watch/ listen to:
I just want you to see how amazing this mind of his is ok!!

TikTok might let you reset your For You page
Iโve had countless conversations with people whoโve accidentally spent too long watching a type of video (and are then served hundreds of similar ones) or who would love to see a โdifferentโ side of TikTok (me included - I love you Matty Healy, but what else is out there?) I canโt help but think that maybe TikTok are listening in on those convos (and I wouldnโt put it past them) because right now the company are โtoying with a new feature that will let you reset your For You page if it starts getting dull.โ
Theyโre testing a feature called โrefreshโ where you have the ability to start from scratch, and itโs being rolled out to a small number of users to test it.
