#xtwitter #thephilippines #newzealand
X (formerly Twitter) is now charging two countries; The Philippines and New Zealand for new users who create accounts as of October 17, 2023 $1 USD monthly for key features such as tweeting, replying, retweeting and likes. The accounts who don't pay will only get the regular features read posts, watch videos, and follow accounts.
Those in these two countries who already have existing accounts are not affected.
X claims that this is a way to fight bots and spammers sharing posts.
There is also a feature called X Premium in USA for $8 monthly. Those who have the subscription will be able to make longer posts and increased visibility on the platform.
Inactive accounts will be deleted according to Elon Musk.
Though most bot and spam accounts are being sent from places like India trying to imitate popular people like Jimmy Donaldson from MrBeast trying to get money or private information. Also the fact that Jimmy did a deal with the online selling website Shopify.com, and bots and spammers are after users on X.
Crypto ads are frequent online, which makes it dangerous for people who want to invest in Bitcoin and crypto coin.

Pro-Palestine Protesters Block Gardiner Expressway Over Hamas Attack
#palestine #israel
Just recently, pro-Palestine protesters blocked the highway that runs through downtown Toronto, the Gardiner Expressway, for a protest regarding the attack by the terrorist group in Israel called Hamas towards the country Palestine.
A lot of people have been posting online making posts and in comment sections "Free Palestine" trying to bring awareness to their cause.
The United Nations and other organizations are starting fundraisers to help Palestine citizens after more than 30 children went missing.
Yet the pro-religious Jewish group decided to protest in Downtown Toronto by the busiest part of the Gardiner Expressway for approximately 4 to 5 minutes chanting "Free Palestine" and other statements, scattering capital letters that read "FREE PALESTINE" and the Palestine flag, and their cars blocking the entire highway.
The Gardiner Expressway is the only highway that runs through Downtown Toronto, and the only highways that connects the northern part of Toronto is via Hwy 427 and Don Valley Parkway, and the main road that directly connects downtown is Yonge Street.
While it is a right for people to protest for whatever cause, trying to interfere with other people is not a good move.
The Jewish protesters could protest in a local part or a public space such as Nathan Phillips Square or near City Hall while giving out pamphlets to promote their protest and get supporters in a well-mannered way.
The last time a problematic protest happened was Black Lives Matter, where people were vandalizing downtown.
Hopefully the Israel-Palestine war situation gets dealt with.

Rainbow Bridge Border Crossing Closed Until November 30, Investigations Underway
#niagarafalls
On Wednesday, a car in Niagara Falls started speeding at 100 miles/160 km, hit a border checkpoint, and caused an explosion that blocked the entire border crossing.
All Canada/USA border crossings were closed at the time, the the Queenston-Lewiston and Peace Bridge (Fort Erie and Buffalo) were opened. The Amtrak Maple Leaf train line that connects Union Station in Downtown Toronto and Grand Central Station in New York Station has been running again.
Canada/USA border crossings from the Pacific coast to the Atlantic coasts are doing advanced security in case there might be a terrorist attack.
The car crash explosion on the USA side of the border was not a terrorist attack, but both countries are checking if it happens again, from airports, borders, and other forms of crossing into the countries.
The Rainbow Bridge has been closed until the end of the month, November 30, as an investigation continues on what caused the car to accelerate and cause a major explosion that killed the two people in the car and injured a border agent.
If people want to cross over to USA from Canada via Niagara Falls, they will either go across the Queenston-Lewiston or Peace Bridge border crossings.
Those from USA to want to see a better view of the falls will have to go to the Peace Bridge border crossing, as that is the closest route to Niagara Falls from Buffalo.

#tteokbokki #dongwonfoods
I try a new product called Rich and Cheesy Tteokbokki by the Korean food company Dongwon.
It's tteokbokki, but with some cheese and a deep spicy sauce, unlike the actual street food you can get from South Korean markets.
This version is only microwaveable.
It's worth a try.
Available at Korean supermarkets.
There are other versions that are available to try that are very good.

Rainbow Bridge Car Explosion, Not A Terrorist Attack, Measures In Place In Toronto And New York City
#niagarafalls
An explosion happened in Niagara Falls at the Rainbow Bridge Canada/USA border crossing
A car was driving at over 100 miles/160 km, hit a booth, then exploded with some parts very high up in the air, and the rest covered across all 13 lanes for the 13 booths doing checking.
The driver of the car and the passenger both passed away.
A booth agent was injured and was taken to the hospital, but let out later that day.
The car was so destroyed investigators couldn't read the license plate number.
A suitcase or briefcase was found, which the bomb squad had to check in case explosives were in it.
The border crossings in the Niagara area; Queenston-Lewiston, Rainbow Bride (AKA Whirlpool Bridge), and Peace Bridge were all closed, but the Peace Bridge crossing that connects Fort Erie (Ontario) and Buffalo (New York), and Queenston (Ontario) - Lewiston (New York) opened up later. The Rainbow Bridge is still closed due to investigation.
USA President Joe Biden said there would be developments regarding this.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said that the country is looking into the incident, and that many questions will be answered.
More measures are being put all across Canada/USA borders from the Pacific to the Atlantic coast.
USA Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas said on X (previously Twitter) that this incident is not terror-related.
Toronto police are increasing patrol.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams said that the NYPD will be enhancing security during the Thanksgiving Parade, and also at all entry and exit points into the city.

KPop Slowly Becoming More English Than Korean
#kpop
The Kpop industry is the biggest in the world, from multiple labels signing singers and boybands and girl-groups such as BIGBANG and 2NE1. Due to it's popularity, other neighboring countries like China, Japan, the Philippines, and other Asian countries who have Asian labels that aren't famous enough go to South Korea to sign with Korean singers and form Kpop or Asian groups such as EXO, BLACKPINK, or BLACKSWAN (all the Korean members disbanded while the USA and Asian members stayed). The Kpop artists sing mostly in Korean while throwing in some English words here and there, and other Asian artists would do the same with their own languages, such as LISA from BLACKPINK singing in mostly Chinese.
But now, the Kpop industry is changing, singing more in English, as fans of Kpop artists and groups have said.
BTS songs and BLACKPINK are more in English nowadays, making them not unique and Kpop songs have been shorter, too catchy, and used in Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts and TikTok videos than just enjoyed as an art.
Some have went against the usage of English urban slang used too many times in the chorus of Kpop songs.
Some pointed out that Kpop songs have too common English titles instead of song titles in Korean like they used to be.
Western musicians now are using Kpop artists in their songs just to get recognized, though these Kpop artists don't sing in Korean or Asian languages anymore.
BTS member Jungkook's recent songs are in English, while his feature on Charlie Puth's song Left and Right was in Korean.
The Kpop group Stray Kids has still used Korean words more but might end up like everyone else in the Kpop industry.
It is not like the Kpop original generation when foreigners were trying to figure out what these Koreans were singing about and the lyrics such as the BIGBANG and 2NE1 days, or when BTS first came up.

Carli Lloyd Stands Up At Olympic Games Unlike Teammates, Goes Against Megan Rapinoe
#carlilloyd #meganrapinoe
Former US Football player Carli Lloyd talks about why she stood up at the Tokyo Summer Olympic Gamers, unlike her teammates who took a knee instead.
Carli Lloyd, has been known for two two-time World championships, two Olympic gold medals, and has been FIFA player of the year before. She retired in 2021 after the Tokyo Summer Olympics.
Carli explains that the US Womens' team had been taking a knee every match (the knee which is a move that American Football player Coin Kaepernick came up with to support Black Lives Matter and against the US National Anthem), even in the English League, but since the Olympics was her last game, she wanted to stand up instead.
Carli said that she was tired of the kneeling, and wanted to make a change.
She said that she had an argument with teammate Megan Rapinoe back in 2016, calling the kneeling "a distraction" for the matches against other teams. She explains that this was all Megan Painoe getting all the attention for kneeling for no reason instead of focusing on getting ready for the game. There was also no explanation behind why Megan was suddenly kneeling pre-match.
This year's match, Carli criticized the US Womens' team for not taking the football matches seriously after the team was caught dancing right after losing to Team Portugal 0-0. the Portugal team kept on blocking any scores from the US team from happening.
Carli says that Team USA has become a team that expects to win matches without knowing about the risks, and instead get beaten by other country teams for looking vulnerable.
Back in 2021, Team Canada beat Team USA in a match, While Team USA was so focused on kneeling and the Black Lives Matter agenda, Team Canada was focused on beating their neighbor country in a game of football, and won.
It's important to focus on the sport you trained hard for, and represent your regional, provincial/state, or your country in a sport, and not bring political agendas into it. Otherwise it makes your team look weak, and the opposing team break your barriers.

Ethan Slater Wants To Co-Parent His Child After Leaving Wife And Child For Ariana Grande
#ethanslater #lillyjay #arianagrande
Actor Ethan Slater has currently left his ex-wife Lilly Jay and their newborn 1-year-old baby for Actor and singer Ariana Grande, who also dumped her ex-husband Dalton Gomez.
Ariana, Ethan, Lilly, and Dalton showed up at the courthouse to settle the divorce.
Ariana Grande has paid Dalton Gomez $1,250,000 for the divorce.
Leaving the courthouse, all Ethan Slater's expression was a smirk, with no concern for his baby.
But what's unfortunate is Ethan wants to co-parent the baby that he had with Lilly Jay last year.
While the adults have had their say, the baby hasn't.
The baby has been left by the biological father for a woman who's a homewrecker.
As a recap, Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater were in the same movie series together, where her character rejects Ethan's character.
The two were last spotted together dining in a restaurant in Manhattan New York in a private table.
The child will grow up resenting his father, and won't trust Ariana Grande as a stepmom, as she's the one who stole his dad from his mom.
If Ariana Granda dumps Ethan Slater for a new boyfriend, it'll be hard for him to come back to Lilly Jay, who already hates him, and the kid will not accept him as a dad. If there is a new man Lilly decides to get in a relationship who is willing to be a good stepdad, he will most likely be the better father figure.

Gen Z Wants Less Sexual Relationships In TV And Movies
#tv #movies
A survey done at the UCLA called Teens and Screens conducted by the Center For Scholars and Storytellers shows that the newer generation of viewers now prefer to watch TV shows and movies that feature more friendship scenes than sexual relationships put in media.
The group surveyed were from the ages 10 to 24.
Kids 10 to 12 were not asked about sexual scenes and romance.
The kids preferred to see more friendships; some that they can actually relate to.
They hated forced romantic relationships/sexual relationships, especially the ones that are toxic, and would rather watch friendship stories where people group supporting each other.
Maya Hawke who plays the role of Robin in the Netflix hit TV show Stranger Things, was tired of her character talked into having a girlfriend in the show, when she prefers Robin to have more friendships. She also said that friendship scenes should get more airtime.
Kids also didn't like the pairings of couples that didn't match, and had on-and-off relationships.
The study shows that people, rated it 4/10, disliked these parts in shows and movies, the fact that male and female leads always have to fall in love, or there's a love triangle involved.
Another thing mentioned that racial stereotypes should be avoided.
Incidents such as people of different backgrounds having to play the villain, or characterized as bad people.
Also having unrealistic storylines that these characters always have to achieve this to make it in the end, was the 2nd hated part.
Regarding Marvel movies, 56% of reviewers said that they would rather watch an original movie or binge-watch a series than watch a remake of an original movie.
Some people prefer to watch shows that they can relate to the character.
Dr Yalta T Uls, founder and director of CSS, co-author of the study, and a psychology professor at the UCLA, explains that people want to see more different kinds of relationships in media.
Some people experience loneliness, so they watch these shows and movies to feel connected.
Yalta Uls also says while some creators put sex and romance in their media for character connection, Hollywood should reckon the need for more friendships in shows and movies that viewers can enjoy and feel comfortable with.
While the Asian media industry, such as Korean media, in shows, they don't shove a lot of romance scenes compared to USA made shows. Sex scenes are barely seen, and advertisements get sent way back to the end of the show.
Everything is Korean made, including support from Samsung, LG, and Korean businesses which get credited or blurred out if not sponsored.
Even the kid shows don't have romances, and focus on kids having friendships and have a fun storyline, unline current USA made kids shows that sneak in some political agenda.
USA has tried to make their own version of Korean made shows like The Good Doctor, but it's not good enough as the original.
The media industry in USA could learn from other countries instead of copying and altering their ideas.

J.K. Rowling Says She'd Rather Do Prison Time That Bow Down To Pro-LGBTQ Agenda
#jkrowling #prolgbtq
British author J.K. Rowling says that she would rather do prison time than follow transgender viewpoints.
The United Kingdom (or England) recently enacted a UK's Labour Law that also supports for trans people. If someone calls someone by pronouns they don't use (even by accident), it can result in jail time.
J.K. Rowling has been known for being a supporter for women and, while she did say that she does have respect for transgender people, pro-trans people decided to attack her online for not accustoming to their views, and after J.K. Rowling said that trans people should not have the right to come into womens' spaces (such as washrooms and changerooms). This happened for a few years.
J.K. Rowling said this year that she's rather serve some time in jail that support the trans ideology.
This came after she responded to a post by some people on X (formerly Twitter) saying "R3epeat After Us: Trans Women Are Women", which she responded "NO".
Once people heard that, some people suggested that if she wanted to spend some time in prison, she should work there as a librarian, as she is famously known for writing the 7 Harry Potter books.
She rejected the suggestion, and said that she could be doing better in the kitchen. She rejects the idea of doing laundry, as she sometimes messes up her own laundry at home, mixing white and colored clothes.
J.K. Rowling talked the importance of knowing your sex, and if there are no same-sex attraction,, the lived lives of women globally will be erased.
She mentions that splitting the definition of sex and gender is removing the ability to talk about their lives.
J.K. Rowling had some disagreements from some of the Harry Potter movie actors such as Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter), Emma Watson (Hermione Granger), and Rupert Grint (Ronald Weasley), who supports the trans ideology. Daniel even sat down with kids who are trans and encouraged the ideology.
But Ralph Fiennes (Voldemort), Helena Bonham Carter (Bellatrix Lestrange), and Evanna Lynch (Luna Lovegood) supported J.K. Rowling for standing up for her beliefs and the truth.
J.K. Rowling and Evanna Lynch had some history together, as Rowling helped Evanna deal with her eating disorder, and then gave her an acting career.
Canada, USA, and the United Kingdom are some of the countries that take the trans ideology too seriously, and will support a person who is dealing with his or her mental health by telling them "you should do gender transitioning" instead of proper support and treatment.
Kids sometimes think they were born as the wrong gender, but are not. If they get pushed into gender transitioning, they will eventually regret it, as boys lose their penis and girls list their breasts and vagina.
Detransitioners have told their story about transitioning, and their regrets, warning of drugs used, and how their lives won't be the same again. They have been attacked by pro-LGBTQ people for telling the risks of changing your body parts just because you thought you were born different.
And there are some people who are trans in Thailand who only call themselves transgender, and do not butt into either male or female, or cause problems for anyone. Just socialize with others.
There are heartfelt people who are LGBTQ who just want to be friends with people who like the same things as others, and don't want the LGBTQ agenda involved, nor who they want to be identified as "oh you're LGBTQ Act like this, dress like this, act sexual, celebrate Pride Month."
Just because you think differently doesn't give you the right to attack someone for it. Sometimes you can stay in your own lane instead of breaking others.

Georgia Restaurant Charges Parents $50 Fee For Bad Parenting
#parenting #georgia
A restaurant in Georgia, USA, called Toccoa Riverside Restaurant, enacted a rule charging parents $50 per bill if they do poor parenting in the restaurant.
The owner, Tim Ritcher, started this rule when the coronavirus pandemic started, right when some families weren't supervising their kids, which kids were running around the restaurant, being loud, and bothering other diners.
A party of five families had come in to dine at the restaurant. One of the parents, Lyndsey Landmann was charged $50 for bad parenting as she let her kids run around the restaurant.
She demanded why she got charged, when claiming her kids were behaving properly.
There were 11 kids eating at the end of the table, ranging from the ages of 3 to 8.
Tim Ritcher says that the 11 kids were being loud and running around the restaurant.
Lyndsey claims that Tim was yelling, and was "alarming" to her.
Lyndsey's husband gave the restaurant a 1-star review after getting charged the $50 extra charge.
The parents were not supervising the kids properly, and should've disciplined them for being a nuisance to other diners in the restaurant, the staff, and the owner.
A parenting tip that works is to bring a favorite toy, get a coloring page, or order something that the kids will like and get them occupied.
Some restaurants will have things for kids to do if they are under 12, and maybe eating a kids meal.
Otherwise, take the kids to McDonald's.

Will Smith's Kids Don't Like Publicized News About Family After Jada Pinkett's Memoir
#willsmith #jadapinkett #jadensmith #willowsmith #treysmith
After the Oscar Awards incident last year, to Chris Rock's Selective Outrage stage show, Jada Pinkett decided to release a memoir called Worthy, which mentions a lot of her life with her marriage to Will Smith, in which she says they have been split for 6 to 7 years.
Will and Jada's kids Jaden and Willow Smith, along with Will's first son with his first wife, Trey Smith showed concern for their dad after Jada leaked private family matters in her memoir, and also through Red Table Talk.
Although Will Smith is not in a good place, as he is still supporting Jada, who has humiliated him several years ago, announcing that she cheated on him for their son Jaden's friend August Alsina; calling it an "entanglement".
Then in 2022, when Chris Rock did a G.I. Jane joke, comparing Jada Pinkett's current look to the G.I. Jane character played by Demi Moore (not an insult), Will Smith laughed first, then Jada gave him a dirty look, and decided to come up on stage and slapped Chris.
Remember that Jada Pinkett did action roles such as in Set It Off, and The Matrix, and was the VA for Gloria in Madagascar.
After Jada made the "entanglement" public, Will was dealing with a lot of mental problems and wanted to deal with it. He couldn't hit his "wife", or someone his size, so he took it out on a smaller and weaker man, Chris Rock.
Yet Jaden and Willow aren't too well-behaved either.
After the slap, the same night, Jaden posted on a now-deleted tweet, "and that's how we do it!" which encourages attacking people physically.
Willow Smith didn't do anything when discussing the "entanglement", and why both her parents were acting distant.
The two siblings weren't too happy when Chris Rock echoed the same things Will and Jada said publicly.
The actual person who would be the victim in this case would be Chris Rock though.
Right after the slap, Will Smith made a post on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, and uploaded a YouTube video apologizing for his behavior
Will even went on an apology tour, even showing up on Oprah, The Daily Show with Trevor Noah, and took a vacation.
People called him out for not being sincere, not apologizing in private, and acting like he was the victim.
Not to forget that after slapping, Will Smith didn't get escorted, arrested, and charged. he spent the night dancing with Jada, and socializing with other people there like nothing happened.
Jada Pinkett said that Will and Chris should make up, but she's not being sincere.
Jada Pinkett is under fire by Egyptians for race-swapping the role of Queen Cleopatra by not using an Egyptian actress, but using an African American actress instead.
The memoir is just another move to try and get fame, and ruin her "husband"'s status.
Since Will Smith is known for the nice, cool, and polite actor, and the clean rap artist, he was one people looked up to.
Now, people can't take Will seriously now.
The Smith family all need therapy, except for Trey, who's out of the public eye.

Michael Irvin Calls Out His Son For Rapping About Fake Childhood
#michaelirvin
Michael Irvin from the American Football team Dallas Cowboys decided to call out his son Elijah for rapping about a childhood he did not grow up in.
Michael Irvin was talking on the talk show undisputed by Skip Bayless while discussing about Ja Morant. Michael also talked about his son Elijah, who is a rapper named Tut Tarantino.
Elijah raps about having a life he didn't grow up in, and Michael called him out for lying about his upbringing.
Michael explains that he had grown up in a bad environment, and he worked hard to get away from that. Now, his son is doing the exact opposite, glorifying that lifestyle.
That was not the first time Michael called out his son for that. In 2019 on the Dan Patrick Show, Michael mentions that his son raps about the hardest lifestyle, when he actually grew up in a 20,000 gated community.
Elijah has made rap songs such as Hit pt 2, back Then, and Never Get Full, which doesn't match his actual life.
If Elijah rapped about how successful he is now, it'd make sense, but the fake persona hip hop rappers are trying to portray is not a positive image for fans.

Matthew Perry Passed Away Due To Drowing, Mens Mental Health Matters
#matthewperry #mensmentalhealthawareness
Actor Matthew Perry, who is well known as his role in the hit TV series Friends, as Chandler Bing, has passed away recently while he was in his Los Angeles Home in a jacuzzi, unresponsive after "drowning".
LA police did an investigation after a notice of a man in his 50s missing, and found no foul play involved.
Warner Media shared their condolences for the late actor and his commitment for doing shows published by the company.
The "Friends" cast mourned the loss of a fellow castmate and friend.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau gave his respect for the American-Canadian actor.
Other former co-stars of shows and movies Matthew Perry was in paid their respect as well.
Matthew Perry, was born in Williamstown Mass., USA, but raised in Ottawa Ontario, Canada in his teens. He also lived in Toronto and Montreal for some time before moving to Los Angeles for his acting career.
While his character Chandler was sarcastic and comedic, he was the complete opposite, and tried to carry the show while looking happy.
From "Friends" started in 1994 to 2004, alongside castmates Jennifer Anniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, and David Schwimmer, and a reunion in 2021 hosted by Late Late Show host James Corden which was an HBO MAX special where the cast talk about the show and not a older version of the characters; Matthew Perry was doing well, including a Emmy nomination for Friends and two for The West Wing.
Matthew Perry has talked about addiction to drugs, and had talked to co-star Jennifer Anniston about it and mental health.
Co-star Lisa Kudrow has offered to adopt Matthew's pet dog after his passing.
Matthew Perry had a previous near-death experience when he was 49 when he had a gastrointestinal [erforation and his color burns from opioid overdosage.
And all that to try and look okay.
Men's mental health is something people should talk about.
This month, give support to any men who are dealing with mental health and are afraid to talk about it.
Any men can also participate in Movember if you wish.

Team YouTube Increases Ads, Prevents Some Ad Block Apps On Google, YouTube Premium Price Increases
#youtube #youtubepremium
Team YouTube has done another system change, and now certain ad-blocker apps do not work when using YouTube if you are a Google Chrome user.
There has been an increase in advertisements since the last update on YouTube, which is another marketing move to try and get YouTube users to switch to YouTube Premium; a subscription where you pay $9.99 USD to $11.99 USD monthly to avoid ads and download videos.
One of the ad-block companies, AdGuard, reported 11,000 people uninstalling their app each day since October 9, since the average 6,000 before Team YouTube made the changes. On October 18, 18,000 people uninstalled the ad-block.
However, the paid version increased in users went up.
Another company, Ghostery, reported a flat number of installs and uninstalls in October.
90% of people who uninstalled the app was because the app was not applicable with YouTube, shown through a survey.
Although the app doesn't work through Google Chrome, it does work through other networks such as Microsoft Edge, as Ghostery reports an installation of their app increased by 30%.
YouTube Premium now has a price increase from $11.99 USD to a $2 increase to $14 monthly.
This won't be a good resolution for YouTube users, as they will use other media systems.

Family Tries To Sue Google Over Google Maps Error That Killed Father, Driving Error
#google #googlemaps
A man named Philip Paxson was killed after he drove off a bridge 6 meters down to Snow Creek, North Carolina after following directions given by Google Maps.
The Paxson family tried to sue Google for not updating their Google Maps system.
Apparently, the bridge collapsed 9 years ago and was never repaired.
Some people had reported the bridge being taken down, but it wasn't updated on Google Maps.
Now if you are driving, it is your responsibility to keep your eyes on the road and not be distracted to anything else.
Since Philip Paxson was distracted to what was on his phone screen of Google Maps and not paying attention to the road, he was at fault for not stopping, pull over, try to find a different route, and follow that way while keeping his eyes on the road at all times.
If you are using Safari, Google Maps, Waze, or other navigation apps, make sure while you are using the app, keep your eyes on the road or use a hands-free setting like Bluetooth that connects your phone to your car.
Otherwise, don't drive, and have someone else drive for you instead; such as a taxi driver, uber, or a friend.

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs Remake Bumped To 2025, Make Changes
#snowwhiteandthesevendwarfs #disney #rachelzegler #thedailywire #kristenstewart #lilycollins #ginnifergoodwin #salmahayek
The 4th live action version of the beloved fable Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs has now been bumped to 2025 after backlash regarding what actress Rachel Zegler said about Snow White.
The original release date was in 2024, but after Rachel Zegler trashed the original fable and badmouthed the prince, people called her out for being not white, and hating the story. Plus, the 7 dwarves were called "magical creatures", and 6 out of 7 actors were regular-sized men and 1 was a dwarf actor.
The movie, which is the 4th one, has now been moved to 2025.
The US Republican party supporting political talk show The Daily Wire and their entertainment platform Bentkey has planned to make their own version of the fable starring the youngest talk show host Brett Cooper 22 y/o, which filming has currently started. It will be out on The Daily Wire's Bentkey. However, it won't get much appeal due to its USA-based production and not big as Disney or Nickelodeon.
The original 3 live-action versions are Snow White and the Huntsman, which has Kristen Stewart as Snow White (sticking with the description of "white as snow") and Charlize Theron as the evil queen. This Snow White becomes a leader against the evil queen but has her flaws. Chris Hemsworth is one of the actors who plays the huntsman who allies with Snow White. This version also has a sequel called The Winter's War. It was well received.
The 2nd version is Mirror Mirror, which stars actress Lily Collins doing the role of Snow White. This also has a leadership plot, but has her flaws as well. Julia Robers plays the evil queen in this one. Dwarf actors are used in this.
The 3rd one is off a series called Once Upon A Time, which features Ginnifer Goodwin as Snow White. This one has an alternate title called Mary and the Evil Queen. This was off an ABC show. This ended when Ginnifer Goodwin had a baby, and chose to spend time with her kids along with her husband Josh Dallas. The baby was featured in the show in the end of this Snow White version. This version was a favorite among many people.
Rachel Zegler also features in the upcoming Hunger Games prequel A Tale of Songbirds and Snakes as the main character. Due to her rant and behavior at the SAG-AFTRA protest, and what she said about her Snow White movie, this version also received backlash, and people are choosing not to watch A Tale of Songbirds and Snakes.
Rachel Zegler should really get acting advice from a fellow Latina like Salma Hayek. Salma Hayek is a Mexican-born actress, screenplay writer, and producer who wanted to get into acting not for the money, but she liked acting after watching Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory as she mentioned on the interview show Hot Ones. Salma knows how it feels like a minority, and she is very humble when it comes to her work. She is a great person to take advice from since she has acting and writing experience.
If you don't want to act, go find a different occupation you like.

Paw Patrol TV Show Puts In Non Binary Dog Im An Episode, Trans Ideology
#pawpatrol #nonbinary
The kids show Paw Patrol, where dogs are the main characters who have "hero-type" jobs from firefighter, police dog, and emergency aid dogs who save the day; have an episode where they added a non-binary character in an episode where the characters are building a observatory for stargazing.
The character, River, is shown wearing boots that has the transgender and non-binary colors on it, which many people noticed this as a way to sneak in LGBTQ content in a show.
An LGBTQ YouTuber Lindsay Amer talked about how she was asked to talk to the creators of the episode before the official episode aired.
Lindsay Amer claims this is going to be inspirational for kids.
Yet while shows like The Owl House have characters that are non-binary, they are human based, and are not other creatures.
Animals are not LGBTQ in any form of way, and should not be depicted as such, even in an actual TV show or cartoons. That is misleading kids and people who want to know about animals, or just want to see a show with animals in it.
Kids do not need to learn about LGBTQ or have it shoved in their face.

The Daily Wire Makes A Rip Off Version Of Bluey, Claims It's Original
#thedailywire #bluey #chipchilla #disney
Disney recently celebrated its 100 year anniversary from making a lot of movies and TV shows. They even made "Once Upon A Studio* featuring multiple movies and the recent Spirit movie lead character. But there is a US political talk show that supports the US Republican party that recently made their own production called Bentkey, and created their own version of a family-friendly hit show called Bluey, created in Brisbane Australia by Ludo Studios. People saw it when talk show members Ben Shapiro and Matt Walsh shared it, and called it a rip-off of the well-loved show Bluey.
Bluey, based in Australia, stars four dogs, with Bluey as the older daughter, and Bingo as the younger daughter. Bandit is the dad, and Chili is the mother. Other characters are also dogs. The show has family content that kids can enjoy, and stuff that parents can relate to. Disney has published this alongside Ludo Studios.
However, The Daily Wire, based in USA, has created their own label Bentkey to rival Disney, and created Chip Chilla, which has the same theme as Bluey, The family is four chin chilllas, with Chip Chilla as the lead character, and there is the younger sibling, and the parents are voiced by Laura Osnes and Rob Schneider.
There is even an episode where the parents teach the kids about the moon landing, but there is a character that is friends with the kids, that resembles the Bluey character Muffin. This proves The Daily Wire is coying Bluey's ideas and trying to hide is as their own.
The Daily Wire CEO Jeremy Boreing tried to pass this off as an excuse to say that this is to avoid the US Democratic party's beliefs, and the school grooming kids, which not schools do this. He says that it is mostly Disney that does this.
Yet there are other media companies that rival Disney, such as Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network, Warner Bros, HBO, and older companies that created classic TV shows like MGM Grand. No one got offended at that time, even though there was some racist content against African American people, Native Americans, or women.
The one company that is extinct after trying to copy Disney's idea, typically Disney Channel, is Dingo Channel. After the Walt Disney Company caught the Dingo Channel trying to copy their content, they were forced to pay the copyright and end their company.
The hit Nickelodeon show iCarly did a parody of this situation, where the Dingo Channel copied iCarly's ideas, then forced to apologize and never do that again when caught.
The Daily Wire is trying to make their own Snow White and the Seven Dwarves movie version which stars the youngest member of The Dialy Wire, 22-year-old Brett Cooper as Snow White. They have called it Snow White and the Evil Queen. They have not released who will play the Evil Queen, possibly the former Star Wars actress Gina Carano, and who will play the seven dwarves.
The Daily Wire will have to apologize for copying the Australian-made hit show Bluey, as the people over in Australia worked hard to create a lovable family-friendly show.

The Daily Wire Still Tries To Claim Their Content Are Original, Copies Nickelodeon, PBS Kids, Cartoon Network
#thedailywire #bentkey #nickelodeon #pbskids #cartoonnetwork #netflix #disney
The Daily Wire, US Republican political talk show, still claims that they are making original content on their entertainment app Bentkey, released on the same day the Walt Disney Company celebrated its 100th year anniversary.
Bentkey is owned by Jeremy Boreing, the CEO of The Daily Wire, and talk show host Ben Shapiro. The company has already been accused of ripping off beloved family-friendly show Bluey, made in Brisbane, Australia.
As stated already, Bluey features a family of 4 dogs, and the other characters are dogs as well. The show uses Australian terms, as it it created in that country, and nothing is political about it. The rip-off show, Chip Chilla, is the same thing except it's a family of chinchillas, similar storylines, and US terms. The intro songs are very similar, which can get The Daily Wire in trouble with record labels if not clarified.
However, The Daily Wire has also copied off other media companies, such as Disney's biggest competitor Nickelodeon, and Cartoon Network, PBS Kids, and trying to imitate Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime, Hulu, Paramount+, and others out there that they can never top.
Here's some names of other shows they have copied that sound way too familiar for Nickelodeon, PBS Kids, Disney Channel and Disney XD, and Cartoon Network viewers:
Mabel Maclay
Kid Fit Go
Kid Explorer
Gus Plus Us
Clangers
Jasmine and Jambo
Yeti Tales
Ernest and Celestine
Runes
Tish Tash
Truck Games
Yoko
Pirata and Capitano
How Ridiculous
Walking Wild
How Ridiculous is the only one that joined Bentkey which is a YouTube channel run by a group of me in Australia. Their content will be shown on the Bentkey app, only available in USA and several other countries. How Ridiculous is also on other streaming services, also keeping their YouTube channel alive.
The Daily Wire really needs to stay to their mindset of making original content if they want to succeed in creating TV shows and movies that people will actually like. Otherwise, Nickelodeon, Disney, Cartoon Network, and even record labels can take The Daily Wire to court for copyright infringement. We don't want another Dingo Pictures incident when those people copy Disey's work. Or music, such like similar beats or style, like what happened to Ed Sheeran, though he was not guilty; Marvin Gaye's family was money hungry.
Nickelodeon, Disney, and Cartoon Network do deals with Interscope Records, Sony Music, Atlantic, Warner Music, Universal Music Group, and sometimes even individual labels run by singers or DJs. It's not okay to copy. The Daily Wire should keep that in mind, especially when creating Snow White and the Evil Queen, which is The Daily Wire's version of the classic fable Snow White and the Seven Dwarves.

Ariana Grande Leaves Dalton Gomez For Ethan Slater, How She Met Him,, Possible Thank You Next 2
#arianagrande #daltongomez #ethanslater
Recently, Ariana Grande dumped her husband for two years Dalton Gomez, who is a real estate agent, for Ethan Slater, who was in the Wicked series and Broadway SpongeBob SquarePants.
Ariana Grande met Dalton Gomez back in January 2020, and married in 2021 in Montecito. Everything was fine until Ariana Grande starred in Wicked as the good witch Glinda, and rejects Ethan's character in the movie, Boq.
Araian and Ethan had no romantic feelings for each other, but later on, they did.
Ethan Slater married his high school sweetheart Lilly Jay, and they had a son since last August. But now Ethan divorced her for Ariana, and he and Ariana are living together in New York City.
Ariana is to be paying Dalton Gomez millions of dollars for their divorce case.
Out of all the adults, Lilly Jay called out Ariana, calling her "not a 'girl's girl'".
Ariana and Ethan were spotted in Disneyworld Florida with their family after both divorced their exes.
Unfortunately, Ethan and Lilly's son will have to grow up with resentment over his own dad leaving him for a woman who has boyfriend issues and is compared to Taylor Swift, a pop singer who sings about her exes all the time
Ariana Grande might be dropping a diss on her ex Dalton, and boyfriend Ethan if things go wrong.
No ex-boyfriend has talked ill about Ariana Grande except Pete Davidson, which it was Ariana's fault for the paparazzi hanging outside the Davidson household.
Big Sean is living the best life with his wife pop singer Jhene Aiko and their son Noah Anderson. He has complimented and defended Ariana Grande back when his ex-girlfriend, late Disney star Naya Rivera claimed Big Sean cheated on her, yet she cheated on him for her friend whom she married.
Hopefully Ariana Grande doesn't drop another Thank You Next Part 2 or another diss track slandering Dalton. He doesn't deserve it.
