supposedly they are going to continue to publish, at least for now https://awfulannouncing.com/si/sports-illustrated-owner-authentic-publication-not-go-dark.html How this affects Swimsuit, I'm not sure

The whole thing is sad. Corporate interests clearly superseded actual quality product. It's not just the swimsuit issue that had been going downhill, They got caught using AI for some sports articles despite still having quality sportswriters on their payroll As I am in my mid 50's SI was a big part of my life growing up.. both the regular magazine and the swimsuit issue. It's surreal that it has come down to this, if not terribly surprising

Wonder if this ends up being the shortest swimsuit thread ever https://frontofficesports.com/sports-illustrateds-publisher-lays-off-entire-staff-future-unclear/

OH MY LORD where did that come from?

My lord that woman 😍

Not a ton to add but I'll put my $.02 in: -Padma looks fabulous. My favorite shoot by far -Megan's shoot was good but TBH I'm not as big a fan as some. -Weird seeing college athletes (thanks NIL).. Angel and Livvy both did well. -Melissa was a surprise.. better than I expected. -I like Katie as always. -Whoever picks Hailey's suits and Christen's lighting should be waterboarded. I'm not as down on this year as the past couple.... I guess I'd say there are fewer bad shoots, but not many great ones either And not every model even has a video. And Martha Stewart.. Christ. Who next year, Dianne Feinstein?

So I had a dentist appointment this morning and before I went in I found out Martha Stewart was a cover model and I suddenly decided someone using sharp instruments in my mouth wasn't so bad.

So does anyone know when all of this is coming out? Bleacher Report said the issue would be on sale May 12, but that's all I've seen. SI themselves simply say "later this month".

I know she's 52 but I don't hate this

No, just some previews on SI's site and on Instagram. I'm assuming May again for the full issue but don't know for sure
