Following the attacks in Brussels, there’s been a huge debate about how the media covers terrorism outside of the West. This debate, which also came up in the wake of the Paris attacks last November, has sparked many pieces of analysis, but the one I liked best is a piece by The Guardian’s Martin Belam, where he digs into why the site’s readers were more interested in Brussels than the recent attack in Lahore.
North Carolina has been in the news recently for passing a law that allows for anti-LGBT discrimination. Writing for The Atlantic, David Graham explains why the law managed to pass in North Carolina. This great piece from a local station in North Carolina also offers a useful fact check on a “fact vs. myth” press release sent around by the governor’s office, in response to criticism of the law.
In stories that are not pegged to the news cycle, I loved this piece in The Offing by Mimi Wong about what she refers to as “slut lit,” stories where women who pursue pleasure pay a price for it. Wong takes a look at the trope and some of the ways that it has evolved.
And of course, I cannot mention reads this week without speaking about that completely insane essay in the Observer. In the process of eviscerating Elle magazine for supposedly ruining an interview with a reclusive and legendary designer, Jacques Hyzagi also manages to burn a long list of publications and public figures — including the Dalai Lama.

Twin Eiffel Towers stand above the sooty skyline of the alt-history version of 1941 Paris in which April and the Extraordinary World takes place. A Staten Island Ferry–sized cable car runs through the towers and it will get you from the French capital to Berlin in a mere 82 hours, a steampunk version of high-speed travel.
In this retro-futuristic animated epic, the planet has become an environmentally devastated place that's permanently at war and runs on charcoal, the important scientists having all mysteriously disappeared before they could help usher in helpful developments like oil-fueled engines and electricity.
April and the Extraordinary World, directed by Christian Desmares and Franck Ekinci and adapted from a Jacques Tardi graphic novel, is a sci-fi adventure with an divinely Gallic slant. It zooms in on a family of chemists, some of the few left, who are in hiding, working on a serum with the potential to save, or maybe destroy, the Earth. When the police pound down their door, they get scattered, leaving daughter April to fend for herself, with only the company of her talking cat, Darwin, and a determination to continue the work that her parents started.
While the film, which is composed of appropriately old-school cel animation, tells a rollicking, sometimes barbed story about oppressive governments, secret labs, selfishness, and the point where science meets ethics, it's the world-building that really delights. April and the Extraordinary World is set in a universe in which a house can roll down armor and walk into the Seine, and rats can be loaded up with cameras and used as spies. While the English-language dub of the film features the voice talents of Susan Sarandon, J.K. Simmons, Paul Giamatti, and Tony Hale, if you opt for the original French (both versions are being released), you'll get Marion Cotillard voicing April and Jean Rochefort as her grandfather.
Where to see it: April and the Extraordinary World is now playing in select theaters.

Part art film slow burn and part extreme splatterfest, Baskin is best enjoyed as a movie that features the memorable image of a man gouging out someone's eyeball with a knife and then French-kissing the bloody socket. Even though it does not, perhaps, add up to a coherent whole, Baskin, the feature debut of filmmaker Can Evrenol, certainly operates according to its own rhythms.
In the opening scene of this rare horror movie from Turkey, a group of cops sit around an otherwise empty restaurant betting on football and exchanging anecdotes about encountering unanticipated penises on the sex workers they've hired. Meanwhile, the owner of the place and his son prepare a meal from mystery meat delivered, ominously, in a bucket. Long takes and moody lighting stoke dread long before anything spooky happens in Baskin — they're just five swinging dicks telling dirty stories and menacing the waitstaff. It's like the opening scene in Reservoir Dogs, if you felt like the characters could be hacked to death by a mysterious hooded figure at any time during their monologues on Madonna or tipping.
And then the policemen go off to answer a call in the middle of nowhere and find themselves in a nightmarish scenario involving dark rituals, dismemberment, and frogs, and all their swagger quickly dissolves.
Evrenol digs his gore, which arrives with a real Silent Hill vibe, but it's the skillfulness of his filmmaking that sets Baskin apart, especially in the way the youngest of the cops, Arda (Gorkem Kasal), keeps slipping back into memories of a recurring nightmare he's had since childhood. The expressionist weirdness of the dream seems to slowly infect everything that follows, until the tenuous reality of the movie trembles and collapses.
Where to see it: Baskin is now playing in New York and Los Angeles. It's also available on VOD.

Hello there. I'm Lara and I am fascinated by Kylie Jenner. She is everything I never was as a teen. And now that she has a lip kit, I, a person with lips, knew I needed to try it.
Going into this, I knew I was not a makeup fanatic or expert by any means, but that I love a good lipstick every now and then. Even if said lipstick is something I bought at Target for half off.

Would it be all over my teeth? Would it show up on my nose somehow? Can an amateur apply this and make it work???
So before I added this stain to my daily routine I wanted to find out just how well it would hold up.
To start my day, I ate oatmeal, because I was too lazy to cook at home and found this at the office. I honestly forgot I was even wearing it and was eating like I normally would. So halfway through the my bowl, I realized I should be more careful or I would have brown lip stain all over my face. When I was finished, it wasn't too bad. It had come off the inside of my lips a little bit, but still looked hella good when my mouth was closed.
