“The appalling atrocities and human rights abuses that have been alleged here are at odds with everything we associate with charity.”



In Watkins Glen, New York, from August 16 – 18, 2019, Woodstock is making a comeback 50 years after the iconic 1969 event. The festival is titled—naturally—“Woodstock 50.”
According to Billboard, while the full lineup for the festival has yet to be announced, performers will include Imagine Dragons, The Killers, Chance The Rapper, Dead & Company, and Santana—who performed at the original Woodstock as well.
Plus, Hits Daily Double reports rumors are swirling that other performers will include Miley Cyrus, The Black Keys, Halsey, and Jay-Z.
Acknowledging that there have “always been lots of rumors around Woodstock,” Woodstock co-creator Michael Lang tells Billboard that they “have excellent partners and an incredible talent lineup of over 80 artists which will be announced within the next couple of weeks. We’re preparing a once in a lifetime event.”
That depends on how long you’ve been alive, of course. If you have a wasteoid old uncle—or even dad—in his late 60s-early 70s and he vanishes around August 16th, you know where to find him.
In a potential rebuke to executive overreach likely to face a presidential veto, the Senate will likely vote to overturn President Trump’s decision to declare an emergency in order to appropriate funds for a border wall. What do you think?

Have you been checking out the fashion month street style trends, Kate Middleton? Somehow we doubt it (she’s kind of busy), but perhaps the lucky people who shop for her have been. Middleton and Prince William visited Blackpool, England, in the rain today, where Middleton’s usual über-polished style was on display. She paired an elegant hunter green coat and midi-length dress with a box bag and black accessories, but her boots caught our attention first.
We recently delivered the message that knee-high boots (as opposed to ankle boots) were all over the F/W 19 runways, and the fashion crowd basically verified this based on how many examples of the trend we saw on the street style scene outside the shows over the past month. Not only that, Middleton wore them in the most fashion crowd–approved way: with a midi dress. Anna Wintour would definitely approve (she’s been wearing this outfit combination for years).
Keep scrolling to see Middleton’s look and shop the trend.
