Charli XCX's capturing of the “main pop girl” aesthetic is not an imitation — it is an oracular impulse.

With features from many of pop music’s rising stars, production from powerhouses such as A.G. Cook and Deaton Chris Anthony as well as samples from beloved dance staples such as “Show Me Love” and “Cry For You,” the record is an entertaining, easy play for casual listeners and superfans alike. 

It latches onto an optimized aesthetic that makes it conducive to dancing clad in a sweaty, sequin mini dress one minute — the next sobbing in the corner. 

Even for an institution as terminally sanitized as the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the group’s newly announced changes to its telecast read as its deepest kowtow yet.

“Best Picture” is a massive concept that is not properly captured by the rules and logistics in place because it transcends them.

A car crashed into the window of 85C Bakery Cafe at 21 Shattuck Ave. on the corner of Shattuck and University avenues at about 10:12 a.m. this morning.
