Love recently spoke with 'The Standard' and had something to say about a few fellow female musicians, according to 'The Hollywood Reporter.'.
Taylor is not important, Courtney Love, to 'The Standard'.
She might be a safe space for girls,
and she’s probably the Madonna of now,
but she’s not interesting as an artist, Courtney Love, to 'The Standard'.
Love went on to talk about Madonna, saying, “I don’t like her and she doesn’t like me.” .

While Love said she could appreciate the symbolism “about Black women going into spaces where previously only white women have been allowed,” she's just not into it.
As a concept, I love it. I just
don’t like her music, Courtney Love, to 'The Standard'.
And then there was Lana Del Rey, who Love thinks "should really take seven years off.".

I thought she was great. When I was
recording my new album, I had to
stop listening to her as she was
influencing me too much, Courtney Love, to 'The Standard'.
It’s great that there are so many
successful women in the music
industry, but lots of them
are becoming a cliché, Courtney Love, to 'The Standard'.
Now, every successful woman is
cloned, so there is just too much
music. They’re all the same. , Courtney Love, to 'The Standard'.
If you play something on Spotify,
you get bombarded with a lot of
stuff that’s exactly the same. , Courtney Love, to 'The Standard'

Antony Blinken, the U.S. Secretary of State, has initiated a series of discussions with Israeli leaders to address the issue of increasing humanitarian aid into Gaza. Simultaneously, he has been urging Hamas, the Palestinian militant group, to accept a proposed deal aimed at securing the release of hostages and achieving a ceasefire. Following his visits to Riyadh and Amman earlier in the week, Blinken is now in Israel, the final stop of his broader Middle East tour. Reports indicate that Blinken is currently meeting with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem. This marks Blinken's seventh visit to the region, which has been engulfed in conflict since October 7th when Hamas launched an attack on Israel. Blinken's main focus during his time in Israel is to pressure the Israeli government into taking specific actions to enhance the flow of humanitarian aid into Gaza. He emphasised the need to address the suffering of the people in Gaza amidst the ongoing crossfire instigated by Hamas, while also striving to secure a ceasefire and the release of hostages.

According to McDonald's, higher sales in the
United States helped the fast-food giant overcome
weakness in markets where the brand is being boycotted.
The company saw same-store sales rise by
1.9% worldwide between January and March,
below the Wall Street forecast of 2.1%.
Increased menu pricing and delivery demand
saw same-store sales in the U.S. increase by 2.5%.
In international markets, sales fell
by 0.2% for the first time since 2020.
Despite this, McDonald's said the company's revenue
increased 5% to reach $6.17 billion, while net income went
up 7% to $1.93 billion, in-line with Wall Street estimates.
'The Independent' reports that Muslim-majority
markets like Indonesia, Malaysia and the Middle East
have been boycotting McDonald's for months.
The boycotts started after a McDonald's franchise in
Israel announced in October that it would provide free
meals for Israeli troops amid the ongoing war in Gaza.
In the months since then, the company has tried to limit
the fallout by taking over all 225 McDonald's in the country
with the purchase of Alyonal Limited, its Israeli franchise.
Our hearts remain with
the communities and families
impacted by the war in the Middle East.
We abhor violence of any kind and
firmly stand against hate speech,
and we will always proudly
open our doors to everyone, McDonald's statement, via 'The Indepndent'.
