Monáe would be playing a mutant mercenary with probability controlling powers.
+ Jorja Smith celebrated International Women's Day with a gorgeous new single and video, "Beautiful Little Fools." Smith takes inspiration from her disagreement with F. Scott Fitzgerald's famous The Great Gatsby line, "Be a fool—that's the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little fool," and turned it into a cool, brooding statement.
+ The Victoria & Albert (V&A) Museum announced that pussy hats will now be a part of their "Rapid Response Collection." The museum noted the hat's prominence at the Women's March as an obvious symbol of female solidarity, directly combatting the POTUS' "grab them by the pussy" remarks.
