SAVE 59%: NordVPN is a privacy-focused service that can unlock top streaming sites like Netflix. A two-year subscription to NordVPN is on sale for £59.76, saving you 59% on list price for a limited time.

It’s not easy to practise patience, especially when the thing you’re desperately waiting for is the second instalment of the fourth series of Stranger Things. Volume 2 is dropping on July 1, so everyone just needs to remain calm and count down the days.

You should have no issues streaming the final two episodes if you’re subscribed to Netflix, unless Netflix is not available in your location. Netflix is widely available, but it’s not available everywhere. To get around this potentially agonising issue, you can use a VPN to connect to a server in a location that does host Netflix.

There are plenty of streaming-friendly VPNs that can reliably unblock Netflix. ExpressVPN is probably the best, but NordVPN is something to seriously consider if you’re trying to connect to Netflix from somewhere like Russia or China. NordVPN is one of the most secure services on offer, with plenty of advanced features for protecting your data and identity when connecting from a potentially vulnerable location. It’s also a strong choice for unlocking streaming sites.

A two-year subscription to NordVPN is on sale for £59.76, saving you 59% on list price for a limited time. This plan includes a generous 30-day money-back guarantee, so you can recover your cash if you’re not totally satisfied. All subscribers also get malware protection, tracker blocking, and ad screening with free threat protection technology.

SAVE 49%: ExpressVPN is a streaming-friendly service that offers strong connection speeds and reliable unblocking of sites like the ITV Hub. A one-year subscription to ExpressVPN is on sale for £83.77 and includes an extra three months for free — 49% off for a limited time.

Love Island is well and truly back, with plenty of drama hitting our screens since the first episode on June 6. We’re expecting plenty more to come, and we wouldn’t want you to miss out on a single moment.

Whilst you’re in the UK, you can watch every minute for free on ITV. If you momentarily lose your mind and miss an episode, you can catch up on the ITV Hub. So what’s the issue? The situation becomes more complicated if you’re travelling or living outside the UK. The ITV Hub will recognise that you’re not logging in from the UK and block you. Rude.

To access the ITV Hub from anywhere in the world, you can use a VPN to hide your real IP address and connect to a secure server in the UK. ExpressVPN is the best option for streaming due to its strong connection speeds and reliable unblocking of sites like the ITV Hub. The unblocking process is also really simple with this popular VPN: sign up to ExpressVPN, connect to a server in the UK, and then log in to the ITV Hub. We’re sure you can manage that.

A one-year subscription to ExpressVPN is on sale for £83.77, saving you 49% on list price. This plan also includes an extra three months of coverage and a year of unlimited cloud backup from Backblaze for free. The deal even comes with a generous 30-day money-back guarantee, so you can recover your cash if you’re not totally satisfied.

Last Friday, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned longstanding precedent Roe v. Wade, allowing individual states to ban abortions. It was a devastating decision that many Americans had feared.

“Most people who seek access to abortion care are already parents, so they’re worried about how to take care of their families and how to ensure that they have what they need to afford for their own self determination,” Planned Parenthood CEO Alexis McGill Johnson said in an interview on Late Night with Seth Meyers.

Speaking to Late Night writers Amber Ruffin, Jenny Hagel, and Ally Hord, Johnson discussed the impact of the Supreme Court’s ruling, noting that up to 36 million people could be affected by Roe v. Wade being struck down. Johnson also explained how this ruling could have a dangerous impact beyond reproductive rights.

“It is really about control over our own bodies,” said Johnson. “When you look at the way the law, the opinions are written, there are also kind of indications that there are other opportunities to go after things like marriage equality, like interracial marriage, like access to contraception, all of which has enjoyed federal protections as well — constitutional protections.”

Johnson also listed several ways people can help in the wake of Roe v. Wade being overturned, from supporting local Planned Parenthood and independent clinics, to donating to Keep Our Clinics and the National Network of Abortion Funds, to sharing your own stories under the hashtags #BansOffOurBodies and #WhateverTheReason.

“We are here because we have stigmatised a very normal procedure,” said Johnson. “One that one in four women in their life will have… And the fact that we have stigmatised, the fact that we don’t talk about [abortions], means that people can make policies that codify our inequality. And if we want to stay free, we have to talk about our freedom and we have to ensure that people understand what is critically important here.”

The BET Awards are on tonight, and so is force of nature Lizzo. Dressed in a shiny ’70s jumpsuit reminiscent of a golden disco ball, the singer put her classical flute training to good use in a dazzling performance of her hit “About Damn Time.” She also performed part of the song’s viral TikTok dance, once again highlighting creator Jaeden Gomez’s popular choreography.

Gomez’s “About Damn Time” TikTok dance quickly went viral after she posted it to the platform in late April, a little over a week after Lizzo released the song. Since then Lizzo has approvingly acknowledged it multiple times, performing it on her own TikTok account as well as recording a dance tutorial emphasizing the attitude required.
