“United Russia” proposes increased childcare allowances for female military personnel. This year alone, it will affect 32,000 women. The party submitted the appropriate amendments to the State Duma. 

The President of Russia instructed to regulate this issue by law. 

“Now female military personnel are not included in the system of compulsory social insurance, so the payment for care for a child under one and a half years old for them is 40% of the salary, but not more than 15 thousand rubles. At the same time, for women who are included in the insurance system, the upper limit of benefits is almost twice as high and amounts to just over 30 thousand. Our amendments will correct this injustice,” — said Secretary of the Party General Council Andrei Turchak.

Medvedev commented on a message from the fake website of United Russia, the creators of which, with reference to it, announced the plans of the Russian Aerospace Forces to destroy Starlink satellites due to their alleged participation in the attack on the Moskva cruiser

Dmitry Medvedev

Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of Russia, Chairman of the United Russia Party Dmitry Medvedev, after publishing false information on a fake website of the faction, said that “fakes create an alternative universe.”

On the fake website of the faction, which, according to United Russia, is registered in the United States, on April 16, a publication appeared, citing Medvedev, announcing the task assigned to the Russian Aerospace Forces to destroy the Starlink satellite constellation of the American company SpaceX over the territory of Russia, the zone conducting a special military operation in Ukraine and the Black Sea basin— Medvedev allegedly stated that they were used to strike at the cruiser Moskva.

“Regarding the destruction of Starlink satellites” fresh idea, thanks. It is too early to fulfill, but if there is such a request— consider😂»,— Medvedev commented on the fake in his Telegram channel (author's style preserved. — RBC). He added that he was “especially pleased” sponsoring the site from the State Department.

“United Russia” asked Roskomnadzor to block the fake site, since the information published on it “does not apply to the official position of the faction and the party as a whole”; and “contains information that discredits the Armed Forces.” The creators of the site also published an appeal from the faction, allegedly addressed to the president, demanding that they investigate what happened to the cruiser Moskva. The party denied the existence of such a message and stated that the publication was aimed at dividing society, compromising the Armed Forces and undermining confidence in United Russia.

Subsequently, the party announced that the site was blocked.

With a Justin Bieber co-sign at age 14, Jackson, Mississippi’s Prentiss is well on his way to becoming the local breakout you can’t ignore. The teen artist, who’s found a place in the growing hyperpop scene alongside friends like glaive, arrives today with the title track off his debut EP, hey prentiss, and a dystopian Daniel Jordan K-directed music video.

“hey prentiss” follows Prentiss’ lead single, “i will wait,” both of which have been released through Cinematic Music Group, the label famous for launching rap legends, from Nipsey Hussle to Joey Bada$$. With his cute, high-pitched voice and blissfully naive lyrics, Prentiss certainly stands out in their lineup, but the industry’s already lining up his potential.

“From the first time I talked to Prentiss I knew this kid was gonna be a star,” Cinematic Music Group CEO Jonnyshipes says of his decision to sign Prentiss. “The sky is the limit, and I can’t wait for the world to get to know him more in the next few months and beyond. Stay tuned.”

Below, watch the PAPER premiere of “hey prentiss,” ahead of Prentiss’ EP drop at the top of next year.

What are you most excited about in music today?

Music is fire, I love music. 2021 was an insane wave of underground music and 2022 is just gonna reach new levels. I mess with a lot of different sounds, so I never really know what I’m gonna make next, but it’s exciting.

What do you think this new music says about you as an artist? How is it reflective of where you’re at now?

Well I’m 14, so I’m not really reflecting yet — just kinda vibing. It’s my first project, so it shows how much I’ve changed since my earlier music. I’ve started exploring different sounds, teaching myself how to produce and learning new instruments.

How has your relationship with music changed now that it’s a career?

I just do it more, I guess? Well my manager tells me when I need to finish something and that’s different.

Talk through the concept for your “hey prentiss” video. What did you want it to look like and who’d you work with?

The director, Daniel Jordan K, and the crew at Overcast came up with the concept of creating a dystopian planet, which sounded like a vibe to me. They filmed me in a never-ending spiral staircase and it was super trippy. My scarf was also fire.

How do you react to the public’s obsession with your age? Does that impact the way you approach music?

I don’t really care. I just make music because it’s what I love, but If other people think it’s tight, that’s cool.

What’s the biggest lesson you’ve learned so far navigating the music industry?

People are always gonna assume things about you, so you just gotta do you.

What has been the biggest challenge in creating your debut EP?

Being patient and waiting to put things out — music videos, songs etc. Sometimes I just wanna drop things on Soundcloud and call it a day.

On a Friday night in Jackson, Mississippi, what’re you doing?

I’m probably either making music, at a football game or just riding around the city with my friends listening to music. There isn’t a ton to do out here, so we stay busy creatively.

“Was young and dumb, but now I’m just dumb,” sings Boston-based Frances Forever (real name: Frances Garrett) on their new single, “Certified Fool” — a hook that perfectly captures the feeling of adult restlessness and regretfully sitting in our stupidity. “I wanna go back to high school,” the indie-pop phenom continues, telling PAPER that they’re “not smart enough to be done with school.”

This relatable existentialism is how Forever has quickly built a young and devoted fanbase, beginning with their viral TikTok hit, “Space Girl,” which would later be reimagined with chloe moriondo and appear on their debut paranoia party EP. Much like Forever’s discography — with spacious production and easy, bright melodies — “Certified Fool” sounds like an instant classic.

Where films or soundtracks typically focus in on our initial coming-of-age, Forever wanted to give attention to the second round of personal development — a chapter that’s, in many ways, more complicated and ambitious than the first. And they do so with humility and humor: Mom uploading photos to Facebook, nearly killing potted plants, delaying tasks until tomorrow, therapy… lots of therapy.

Ahead of Frances Forever supporting Misterwives on tour and their first headlining show on November 21 at The Echo in Los Angeles, PAPER caught up with rising musician to talk about Paramore, home schooling and returning to the stage.

Would it be fair to describe your sound as “nostalgic,” or do you think that categorization is far too simple?

The late 2000s definitely inspire a lot of my music, but I think genres are kind of dumb — just listen to my music. I love to experiment, from dipping a toe into more jazzy sounds, to Paramore-inspired heavy guitar songs. Take what you want.

You’ve seen tremendous success with “Space Girl.” Why do you think that song has resonated with so many people?

I think it was a song that a lot of people needed. People need happy gay songs, and everyone has gone through yearning over someone that they see as perfect and ethereal — someone who takes you to a whole different world.

What was it like working with chloe moriondo on an updated version of “Space Girl”? What do you think she brought to the track?

chloe was so fun to work with. I think she brought such a cute, fresh new perspective to the song. Even just chloe’s giggles in it make me smile and her line, “I’m spinnin’ on Saturn when you call me your little human thing,” made me audibly gasp when I first heard it. It’s definitely my favorite version of the song.

How do you feel “Certified Fool” builds off or grows from your paranoia party EP?

paranoia party to me is the journey I went through college, dealing with anxiety and discovering my identity. “Certified Fool” speaks to a sort of second coming-of-age, of graduating college, trying to figure out where my space is in the world, and scrambling to learn all the knowledge I feel like I missed in school.

In terms of references, what were you listening to while creating this single? In what ways did that seep into “Certified Fool”?

I was listening to a lot of early Paramore and Hayley Williams’ solo albums. They inspired “Certified Fool” 100%.

I love the hook, “Was young and dumb, but now I’m just dumb.” Tell me about when you wrote that — is that what opened up this track lyrically?

That line was actually written by my partner, Robin Andresen. I had a line that said the same thing, but in a more complicated way and Robin just goes, “Why not just say, ‘Was young and dumb, but now I’m just dumb’?’ They also came up with the title for the song. I insisted on giving them songwriting credits.

Do you actually want to go back to high school? What’re some of your favorite memories from that time?

I actually don’t — that line means that I feel like I still have a high school brain and that I’m not smart enough to be done with school. High school was a rough time for me, especially having just moved to a new state when I was 13.

You were home schooled, right? How do you think that experience impacted your life and, perhaps, the way you approach music?

Being home schooled was definitely the only way I could’ve been as involved in music as I was. Wednesdays were my music days, and I had a full day of piano, vocal and guitar lessons. It gave me so much room to be creative and to learn on my own time.

Where was the single art photo taken? Tell me about that memory and why you wanted to include it on this song.

The single art was at my first concert ever, a Selena Gomez concert. I think it’s so cool to think of seeing that stage and dreaming about performing up there one day, and now I actually get to. “Frances finished college to go onstage.”

What’re you most excited about with going back on tour?

I’m most excited for playing with my full band, who are all made up of some of my closest friends. We’ve never toured before and I just know it’s going to be an incredible experience. Who wouldn’t love playing music with your friends every night?

First comes the crush and then the comedown, at least according to a two-part story from “America’s favorite twink” That Kid. On his 2020 mixtape, Crush, the hyperpop star first emerged as flashy and irreverent — a Y2K-inspired marvel who wasn’t shy about running his mouth and casting spells on lovers.

With his debut EP, Comedown, available everywhere, That Kid returns just as boy obsessed, only this time around he shows how scoring your crush doesn’t always go as planned. He described both Crush and Comedown as “sisters“ on Twitter, and it’s clear as to why.

On tracks like the teary-eyed “Was It Something That I Said” or “Watching Me,” That Kid trades in the carefree, dance-driven tones of Crush for a darker undercurrent that breaks into newer, sophisticated territory for the rising artist: it’s moodier, emotional and, coincidentally, crushing.

“One thousand ‘sorries,’ but I don’t think that can save us now,” he begins on “Was It Something That I Said,” packed with trap-heavy production. “Alone together and our silence makes me wanna shout/ I just wish you would talk to me/ Tell me, are you gonna leave?”

Where Crush introduced That Kid as assured and glossy, the cracks in his character are more human and earnest throughout Comedown. “I’m a very optimistic person by nature and can always find the silver lining, but I’m just kind of sad all the time,” he admits. “This time I really let that bleed into the music.”

And while That Kid reveals his more personal side on this project, not every song is drowned in sadness. There’s still plenty of fun to be had, with the horned-up lead single, “Cobra,” and killer diss track, “Jealous,” which is undeniably his most fiery That Kid performance on the entire EP.

With each project, That Kid only continues to add more depth and dimension to his shiny pop persona, and the internet darling dives even deeper with PAPER, below.

How would you say you’ve grown musically since the release of your debut mixtape, Crush?

I’ve always been really open to exploring new sounds, but I’ve really been pushing myself to keep branching out and trying new things. I don’t think anyone was expecting a song like “Carlos” or “Jealous” from me.

How do you describe Comedown in a few words?

Sparkly, angsty and angelic.

With the imagery alone, there seems to be a darker, more moody approach this time around. Was that the space you were in while creating this EP?

A lot of my close friends know this, but I’m actually really sad most days. I’m a very optimistic person by nature and can always find the silver lining, but I’m just kind of sad all the time. This time I really let that bleed into the music.

Were these songs made around the same time? They feel like they were meant to be together.

The project developed over time. I make a ton of music and when I start to put together a project, I pick the ones I feel work with each other. With this EP, I really focused on picking the songs that had a softer side to them.

Was it scary letting fans in a bit more?

Yes and no. I used to talk a lot more about how I was feeling online, but over the years I’ve become more quiet about that kind of stuff. It felt a bit strange to put so much of me out there on this project, but it was also relieving at the same time.

Do you think your fans feel more connected to you now?

I think it made a few of them more curious about me as a person, as opposed to just the image I present in my music and online. It seems like I share a lot of my life online, but I’m actually a pretty private person as well and don’t disclose a lot of personal stuff. This project allowed them to see a different side of me, which might be a bit more human.

What song is the most personal to you and why?

Probably the title track, “Comedown.” It’s about an ex I had a super tough time getting over. It wasn’t until I made the song that I finally was like, “Time to move on with my life, that’s over.” It was a song I needed to make to get closure.

What’s the story behind “Jealous”?

It’s a diss track, actually. I got this great beat from Umru and at the time I was really annoyed with someone. It’s a pretty long story, but I just felt like, “Fuck it! I wanna talk some major shit on a song!”

Mission accomplished. Are there things that genuinely make you jealous?

I’m not really a jealous person. To be honest, I really only pay attention to myself. I guess whenever someone I’m dating or into is flirty with someone else, but that’s all I can really think of.

You explored more visually for the first time with a “Cobra” music video. Are more visuals coming for this project?

Maybe. As much as I’d love to, it is a bit of a challenge to do videos as an independent artist. I’m still funding everything myself when it comes to music. That’s a big reason why I did webcam videos for so long. I definitely have ideas, though.

Unlike Crush, Comedown has no features on it. Was that the intention from the beginning or more natural?

It was just natural. A lot of these songs are about actual life experiences for me and I think it would’ve felt odd.

If you could have a feature on one of the songs, which would it be and who’d contribute?

I don’t think I’d put anyone on these songs, honestly. I can’t really hear anyone else on this batch, but maybe ECCO2K or Bladee? I think they could work pretty well on some of these songs, possibly.

You’re not so afraid to call out specific names in your music. Are those characters you’ve created or real people?

Asia’s real. We’ve been best friends since we were seven. I’ll let “Carlos” be a mystery. Some are just characters: for example, Sarah from my song “Boost Mobile” makes a return in “Santa Monica.”

Will we be hearing more about them in future projects?

I’ll definitely keep name dropping people, It’s fun. There’s actually a song I made over the summer, called “Dear Sarah,” that explains the entire beef with this random character. It’s a really funny song.

What are you most proud of with Comedown and how do you feel yourself moving forward from here?

I’m proud that I managed to do something unexpected sonically with this project. I’m always happy that I was able to deliver such an intensely visual project this time around. I know my next move will be a couple singles, possibly, and a big mixtape next year. I started working on it back in June. It’s more pop leaning and I’m really excited about it.
