Jia Tolentino reflects on ‘Instagram face’ and plastic surgery – NPR

Transcript TONYA MOSLEY, HOST: This is FRESH AIR. I'm Tonya Mosley. Something strange is happening to the human face. Plastic surgery in the U.S. is increasingly designed to be invisible, and it's working. Faces are being lifted, filled and reshaped to look naturally youthful and, at the same time, unnatural. My guess today, writer Jia Tolentino, says this new era of cosmetic enhancement is quietly changing the way people think about aging and what we believe a real face should look like. In her latest New Yorker piece, "Our Plastic-Surgery Nightmare," Tolentino reports that cosmetic procedures, like Botox and fillers, once associated with middle age, are now becoming popular for teenagers, with plastic surgeons reporting a significant uptick of patients under 30. Some are even posting photos online, asking strangers whether a face-lift is their only hope. One influencer got famous by striking his jawline with a hammer as part of the online movement known as looksmaxxing. Other young men followed suit. And artificial intelligence trained on millions of these new faces is generating new beauty standards. Tolentino argues that what's changing isn't just our appearance. It's our relationship to reality. Her argument is that when every face can be

EXCLUSIVE: WME has signed Evan Muir, the filmmaker, writer, director and digital creator known online as Evan Royalty, with an eye toward helping him expand his footprint across film, television, and beyond, while developing original IP and franchise opportunities. Royalty is known as one of the defining filmmakers behind YouTube’s SCP phenomenon, a series of sci-fi horro shorts revolving around the online lore of the SCP Foundation, a secret organization covertly operating to protect humanity from malevolent entities.

Muir has built the largest and most engaged audience of any cinematic SCP creator through adaptations including SCP: First Contact, SCP: Dollhouse and SCP: Overlord. Since launching his YouTube channel in 2012, he has amassed more than 779,000 subscribers and nearly 70 million lifetime views. Watch on Deadline The signing comes amid a scramble in Hollywood for creator-driven horror IP, and an excitement around the SCP Foundation in particular, following the recent announcement that Roy Lee and Steven Schneider will produce a new V/H/S anthology film set within the SCP universe.

It's a cautionary tale for any business running on third-party infrastructure. ” — Aditya Patadia, Co-Founder and CEO, Gumlet SAN FRANCISCO, CA, UNITED STATES, July 22, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Gumlet, a video hosting and streaming infrastructure platform, released "The State of Enterprise Video Hosting Post-Vimeo," an 18-month industry report documenting what the company is calling the largest enterprise video infrastructure migration since 2020.

Narragansett police officer turns to Facebook and humor to keep order – The Providence Journal

July 22, 2026, 5:01 a.m. ET Narragansett Patrol Officer Alyssa Cloutier is not the type to try to grab the spotlight. “I've always been that person that's behind the scenes,” Cloutier said. “So even when I was in school, if it was theater, I was like, ‘I'll be behind the curtain. I'll be your setup person.’ I don't want to be the star of the show. That's how it's always been for me.” These days, however, Cloutier’s behind-the-scenes work has put her in the spotlight. When Cloutier is not patrolling the streets of Narragansett, she is posting on the police department’s social media. Most public service announcements are dry and humorless. Not so Cloutier’s. “As temperatures warm up, please remember to drink lots of water and stay indoors between 10 a.m. and November 1,” she wrote on July 3. “If you are planning on doing crime, please do it outside our jurisdiction.” That post got over 17,800 likes. “The apocalypse has terrible writers,” she wrote on another occasion.  » Read More
