— Music Feeds (@musicfeeds) March 21, 2019

It has first started when Australian rapper Zheani posted this music video with news and some messages Ninja sent her:


"In the diss track, the Bundaberg-born artist, who grew up in the coastal town of 1770, accuses the band’s frontman Ninja of “trafficking” her to South Africa and alleges that the “sick individual” was fascinated by her resemblance to his own daughter with bandmate, Yolandi Visser".

"As well as accusations of fan grooming, she also accuses him of sexual abuse and intimidation, ritualistic torture and revenge pornography."

"In the clip, Zheani also claims that Die Antwoord have sent her a cease and desist letter, threatening to sue for defamation over her claims."

Alex Jones, who's being sued over his Sandy Hook truther segments on Infowars, revealed in deposition that he gets a lot of his conspiracy ideas from dangerous and familiar platforms, like YouTube and 4chan. https://t.co/ZVrI722QDM

— HuffPost (@HuffPost) March 29, 2019

After being sued for emotional distress by Sandy hook parents for claiming the event was an orchestrated hoax, Alex Jones, host of the info wars site, was up for a deposition in one of those lawsuits.

This deposition was a disaster for him, claiming psychosis made him a truther, not trusting reality, and ended up revealing his sources for his podcasts are YouTube videos and random 4chan comments and threads. The revelation came after he tried to shift blame over whose were the lies said about Sandy hook.

The platforms allowed for the spread of misinformation about the school shooting in Parkland, Florida, that killed 17 people on Feb. 14, 2018, and Jones himself was sued for defamation for misidentifying the shooter. As part of the harassment survivors suffered, a woman was jailed for harassing and threatening parents of the deceased almost immediately after Jones released the personal information of one of the parents.

Social media has been criticized for failing to crack down on extremist content. The platforms have each vowed to work on fixing problems that their algorithms can create ― exposing users to a barrage of conspiracy theories, for instance ― but none has yet found a successful roadmap.

While he attempts in the deposition to distance himself from the various hoaxes, he has continued to target Sandy Hook parents as recently as March 25, Jones offered that a Sandy Hook father who was found dead of an apparent suicide was actually murdered in a plot to distract from special counsel Robert Mueller’s report on the Russia investigation.

Liam Neeson apologizes for ‘impulsive’ racial comment, says he ‘missed the point’ https://t.co/mxDW3MnziP pic.twitter.com/egsAF7smHq

— Page Six (@PageSix) March 29, 2019

Excerpt from the Statement:

“The horror of what happened to my friend ignited irrational thoughts that do not represent the person I am. In trying to explain those feelings today, I missed the point and hurt many people at a time when language is so often weaponized and an entire community of innocent people are targeted in acts of rage. What I failed to realize is that this is not about justifying my anger all those years ago, it is also about the impact my words have today. I was wrong to do what I did. I recognize that, although the comments I made do not reflect, in any way, my true feelings nor me, they were hurtful and divisive. I profoundly apologize.”

If you remember Neeson, in an interview with Robin Roberts said, in response to a friend's rape:
“I asked her, ‘Did you know the person? It was a man? His race?’ She said he was a black man. I thought, ‘OK.’ After that, there were some nights I went out deliberately into black areas in this city, looking to be set upon so that I could unleash physical violence. I did it for maybe four or five times. It really shocked me, this primal urge I had. It shocked me and it hurt me. I did seek help. I went to a priest. I had two very good friends I talked to, and believe it or not — power walking — to get rid of this.”

Pet Sematary director says cats who played Church were a 'pack of divas' on set https://t.co/NW6njKlEDY

— Entertainment Weekly (@EW) March 29, 2019

In Mary Lambert's adaptation of the Stephen King novel, Church the cat is a British shorthair. Directors Dennis Widmyer and Kevin Kölsch didn't want to "compete" with that cat. After looking at a hardcover edition of Pet Sematary that featured a Maine Coon, they settled on using that kind of cat for the part.

They had to get about 8 cats who looked the same, and then train them for the role.

At the Q&A following the LA premiere, Widmyer says: "There was the cat that could hiss, the cat that could jump, the cat that could stare… They were like this pack of divas on set. You know, the cat would get on set and have to get acclimated, so all the actors would have to shut up and just kind of let the cat sniff everything for like ten minutes. So, we just sat there, and watched the cat.”

Stephen King attended a screening with a special guest:

The latest ad from PETA to try and raise awareness depicts a cow breastfeeding an adult man.

According to one of PETA’s reports notes that cows ― which have a natural lifespan of about 20 years and can produce milk for eight or nine years ― may have their lives cut short when they’re involved in factory farming. The stress of the farms leads to “disease, lameness, and reproductive problems,” according to the report, rendering them “worthless to the dairy industry by the time that they’re 4 or 5 years old, at which time they are sent to be slaughtered.”

In a bizarre visual representation, the animal rights organization posted an image of a cartoon cow with the breasts of a human woman breastfeeding a grown adult man. https://t.co/btp47FDi6X

What makes the movie work 20 years later?

* Julia Stiles' Kat and how she asserts her "right to be a bitch in a world that was prepared to demonize her no matter what."

* the movie treats Kat as being correct in her anger. Patrick respects her rage. Kat even confronts her own internalized misogyny in her disdain for her "girly-girl little sister".

* the movie is also not above dragging Kat a little bit. Her black English teacher Mr. Morgan dismisses some of her "rich white girl problems".

* goes in depth discussing Julia Stiles' "fully realized teenage girl" and Heath Ledger's charismatic Patrick.

* also mentions the soundtrack and of course the "Can't Take My Eyes Off of You" scene

* briefly touches on the movie's handling of consent

reminder on the 20th anniversary of 10 Things I Hate About You that Heath Ledger doesn't kiss Julia Stiles at a party because he's sober and she's drunk, and that consent has always been that simple, even in 1999! thank you! pic.twitter.com/rZaouiKIL4

Janet Jackson’s #RockHall induction speech: "Induct more women" https://t.co/D4DWpTiUaV pic.twitter.com/qoM3bx1SZg

— Rolling Stone (@RollingStone) March 30, 2019

- Janet Jackson was officially inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame yesterday and was introduced by Janelle Monae. Jackson gave a heartfelt speech although she opted not to give a performance.

- In her speech, Jackson started out by giving credit to her father for playing a role in her decision to pursue a musical profession: "When I was a kid my dream wasn’t to be a singer. I wanted to go to college and I wanted to be a lawyer. It was my father’s dream. He wanted me to become this wonderful performer. He encouraged me. He was the first one to encourage me. Music became my passion."

- She then talked about watching her brothers, who were inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1997 as The Jackson 5, as they established their careers and their impact on pop culture around the world. She also talked about her desire to make it on her own: "In 1997, my brothers were recognized for their musical passion by being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and I was so, so proud. As you saw in the clip, I was always crashing their rehearsals. I was always tagging along, always with my brothers. I witnessed, along with the rest of the world, my family’s extraordinary impact on popular culture. Not just in America, but all around the globe, the entire globe. As the youngest in the family, I was determined to make it on my own. I wanted to stand on my own two feet, but never in a million years did I expect to follow in their footsteps. Tonight, your baby sister has made it in."

- She thanked her family in general and also those who helped/supported her along the way, including A&M Records, Herb Alpert, Jerry Moss, Jesus Garber, Angela Winbush, Rene Moore, Leon Sylvers, Paula Abdul, and Questlove.

- Jackson then thanked her fans, gave love to her son Eissa, and asked the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame to induct more women in 2020: "I want to say a personal word to each and every fan. You’ve been with me every step of the way. In all my ups. All my downs. I never have and never will take you for granted. I love you with all my heart. Thank you God for giving us life and the ability to embody goodness. With God all is possible, and all is good. And I want to thank my baby, my beautiful son. He wakes me up every single morning singing his own little melodies. He’s only two, you guys. I want you to know that you’re my heart, you’re my life and you have shown me the meaning of real, unconditional love. Mama loves you, Eissa, rah rah rah. And Rock and Roll Hall of Fame please, 2020: Induct more women. Thank you so much."

- Jackson made her musical career debut with her album "Janet" in 1982 at the age of 18, however, her breakthrough success came when she released her album "Control" in 1986. Her next album, "Rhythm Nation", broke records with having seven Top Five singles. She has also been the influence of many artists, including Beyonce, Janelle Monae, and Britney Spears.

The Matrix at 20: How the Wachowskis changed sci-fi https://t.co/cAk07Zvien pic.twitter.com/J3YOui9bFw

— BFI (@BFI) March 26, 2019

- The Wachowskis' landmark, groundbreaking film 'The Matrix' celebrates its 20th anniversary this month. Warner Bros. originally wanted to release this film on summer 1999 against Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, but they pressured the filmmakers in rushing post-production and release it on March 1999 instead.

- The filmmakers found it hard to cast the lead roles. Will Smith was originally slated to play Neo, Jada Pinkett-Smith auditioned to play Trinity, and the studio wanted Val Kilmer to play Morpheus. All of that didn't happen although Jada would eventually have a role in the sequels.

- The cast trained with famed Hong Kong martial arts choreographer and expert Yuen Woo-ping to create the balletic, liquid style of fighting shown in the film.

- The film introduced the concept of simulation and simulacra to audiences worldwide. Its famous "bullet time" sequence was immediately parodied in films like Scary Movie.

- The film won 4 Oscars (film editing, sound mixing, sound editing, and visual effects) and grossed $460 million worldwide.
