A new resort in Sonoma County's Russian River Valley channels the carefree spirit of summer camp, but with plenty of modern comforts for grown-ups and natural wine. The River Electric, a chic camp resort, swim club, and event venue, opens May 23rd, offering a contemporary take on classic outdoor adventures.
The resort was founded by wife and husband team Kelsey and Mike Sheofsky, who run Shelter Co, a luxury tent rentals and event production company.
'The Russian River area has always held a special place in our hearts both for the natural beauty and the amazing local community,' Kelsey Sheofsky told Travel + Leisure . 'When we found the property that would become The River Electric, our main goal was to design a space for gathering in nature and creating a community-focused outdoor destination.'

Set on a 12-acre expanse near the town of Guerneville, The River Electric features 40 furnished tents surrounded by redwood trees. While the accommodations are designed to immerse guests in the surrounding natural world, each tent is outfitted with modern conveniences like electricity and WiFi. A central bathhouse features private and family-sized stalls stocked with custom-made, river-safe bath products by California-based brand Heliotrope.
Beyond the sleeping quarters, the resort offers two centrally-located swimming pools, open for guests, day pass holders, and memberships. Inspired by European beach club culture, The River Electric's Swim Club offers a $32 day pass that comes with the use of a portable lawn chair, with chaise lounges and cabanas also available for rent.
Dining centers around the Pool Bar, where fresh California flavors meet poolside favorites—think local cod ceviche, vegan Caesar salad, and housemade potato chips with herb dip. On the dedicated kids' menu, classic desserts such as soft serve and root beer floats add to the resort's nostalgic vibes. And because it's in the heart of wine country, The River Electric collaborated with Healdsburg-based Ruth Lewandowski Wines on custom blends for resort guests.
'Whether you're here for a weekend under the redwoods, a pool day with friends, or a milestone celebration,' Sheofsky said, 'it's all about slowing down, chilling out, and soaking up some California sunshine.'

Woman Is Confident Her Chair Is Blue — But the Internet Has Other Plans
One TikTok user grabbed the internet's attention over the color of her chair. The saga began in early June when a now-viral video was shared by Kristin (@ which has now amassed over two million views. In the beginning of the clip, she asked the question that started it all: 'Is this chair gray or blue?" Kristin explained that she was asking because she was giving the chair away to someone, and the person thought the chair was gray while Kristin had always believed her chair was blue. "And she's like, 'Can you get more pictures? It's gray.' And I'm like, 'OK, but my couch and my chair have always been blue,' but now she's gaslighting me and I'm starting to believe it." The California resident then flips her phone camera to reveal the chair in question, leaving many users baffled at the sight of it. 'It's not only gray, it's very freaking gray,' one user said. 'I adjusted the screen brightness on my phone and everything trying my hardest to back you up, but sweet Moses that is a very gray chair,' said another user. Despite differing in opinion with the internet, Kristin continued to be in good spirits and joked about the debacle in videos. 'It can't be gray! It's not gray, is it?' she said as she laughed in a video posted after her viral video. Users also pointed out that a couch in the background of her original video matched the chair's color, leaving Kristin with another question: What other things in her house are gray? 'The couch is navy. The couch was never part of the question… the couch has always been dark blue!' she said in a follow-up video. She then introduces other items in her house that she thought were blue or gray, and TikTok users were quick to share their opinions. 'The rug is dark navy blue. But your couch and that blanket are 100% grey,' one user said. After a few days of realizations and laughs, Kristin sat down to take an online color blind test, though she emphasized she would go to a doctor before confirming anything. The test results suggested that she may be protan color blind, where she may have red-green color blindness. Though the realization was a shock, Kristin stayed in good spirits and has now asked viewers to help her pick a new couch. In the comments, one person thought up the scenario in which Kristin accidentally buys another gray couch. 'I'm checking the description this time,' Kristin replied with a laughing emoji.

Disney and Universal sue AI company over use of copyrighted characters: 'Piracy is piracy'
Disney and NBCUniversal have accused AI company Midjourney of copyright infringement. The plaintiffs accuse the company of using its characters, such as Spider-Man, Star Wars' Darth Vader and Yoda, Disney's Princess Elsa from Frozen, the Minions, Homer Simpson, Deadpool and Wolverine, and more via an online service that allows users to create images, according to lawsuit, filed Wednesday in the U.S. District Court in the Central District of California in Los Angeles. "For more than 100 years, Disney and Universal have delighted audiences around the world by investing in and fostering American creative innovation and producing some of the greatest motion pictures and fictional characters of all time," the lawsuit states. "Midjourney, however, seeks to reap the rewards of Plaintiffs' creative investment by selling an artificial intelligence ("AI") image-generating service ("Image Service") that functions as a virtual vending machine, generating endless unauthorized copies of Disney's and Universal's copyrighted works." The suit continues, "By helping itself to Plaintiffs' copyrighted works, and then distributing images mages (and soon videos) that blatantly incorporate and copy Disney's and Universal's famous characters—without investing a penny in their creation—Midjourney is the quintessential copyright free-rider and a bottomless pit of plagiarism. Piracy is piracy, and whether an infringing image or video is made with AI or another technology does not make it any less infringing." According to the lawsuit, the startup reportedly made $300 million in revenue last year. Its 21 million users, as of September, paid for subscriptions of $10 to $120 monthly in order to, according to the lawsuit, "view and download copies and derivatives of Plaintiffs' valuable copyrighted characters." They called it "textbook copyright infringement." The lawsuit states that the company had almost 21 million users as of September 2024. It launched its image service in 2022 and reportedly made $300 million in revenue last year. Disney and NBCU said they asked the company to stop using their work, but the company has not and has released new versions of its Image Service. In a statement, Horacio Gutierrez, the senior executive vice president, chief legal and compliance officer of the Walt Disney Company, said: "Our world-class IP is built on decades of financial investment, creativity and innovation—investments only made possible by the incentives embodied in copyright law that give creators the exclusive right to profit from their works. We are bullish on the promise of AI technology and optimistic about how it can be used responsibly as a tool to further human creativity. But piracy is piracy, and the fact that it's done by an AI company does not make it any less infringing."Kim Harris, executive vice president and general counsel of NBCUniversal, also provided a statement. "Creativity is the cornerstone of our business," Harris said. "We are bringing this action today to protect the hard work of all the artists whose work entertains and inspires us and the significant investment we make in our content. Theft is theft regardless of the technology used, and this action involves blatant infringement of our copyrights." The lawsuit seeks unspecified monetary damages and "permanent injunctive relief" to halt the use of the characters. EW has reached out to Midjourney for comment.
