JK Rowling attending HBO's 'Finding The Way Home' World Premiere in 2019 (Getty/Anadolu Agency) A school in Essex has chosen to rename a house that previously honoured JK Rowling after students rejected her views on trans lives. The Boswells School announced plans to review the name of its Rowling house “following numerous requests by students and staff… and in light of JK Rowling’s comments and viewpoints surrounding trans people” in July. According to MailOnline, a newsletter about the change read: “The Boswells House System embeds a sense of community, friendship and healthy competition amongst both students and staff. The message continued: “Here at the Boswells we have 6 Houses which are represented by British citizens who have excelled in an area of our Boswells Learning Bridge which includes integrity, emotional intelligence, grit, resourcefulness, self-discipline and bravery.” It reportedly made clear that Rowling’s views on trans lives “do not align with our school policy and school beliefs – a place where people are free to be”. Other house names paying respect to Sir David Attenborough, Stephen Hawking, Charlotte Bronte, John Travers Cornwell VC, and Florence Nightingale are still in place. JK Rowling.

He defeated him in three minutes and since then people couldn’t stop talking about Hook.While speaking on the Keepin’ It 100 podcast, Disco Inferno criticized AEW for Hook’s booking in the company.’ He especially criticized the psychology of Hooks matches, notably his match against Bear Bronson.“Bro, he’s 180 pounds, he should be fighting like Ricky Morton, fighting from underneath. Whoever laid out that match, that was like a guy 100 pounds heavier than Hook, and at no point in the match they laid that out with the psychology of a big guy vs. small guy fight.”The AEW roster was also ecstatic about Hook’s in-ring debut. Fans also believe Hook…

Uncle Murda says Lil Nas X will “catch AIDS and die” in his new Rap Up 2021. (Photo by Kevin Kane/WireImage) Rapper Uncle Murda disgustingly predicted that beloved gay icon Lil Nas X will “catch AIDS and die” in new song “Rap Up 2021”. The Brooklyn rapper released the 14-minute song that attacks celebrities, rappers and public figures on Saturday (1 January). Murda opened the song by stating he would be talking “reckless respectfully” before launching his attack against Nas and the LGBT+ community. “Lil Nas X gon’ catch AIDS and die like Eazy-E,” Murda rapped. “Hope the LGBTQ don’t cancel me/Like they tried to stop DaBaby from getting paid when he was talking about how they be giving each other AIDS.” Eazy-E – who co-founded NWA alongside Dr Dre and Ice Cube – died in 1995 shortly after he was suddenly hospitalised and was diagnosed with AIDS. Murda also referenced embattled rapper DaBaby, who faced immense backlash following his derogatory anti-LGBT+ and anti-HIV comments at the Rolling Loud festival in Miami. He was subsequently dropped from a string of festivals including Parklife, Lollapalooza, Day N Vegas and the 2021 Governor’s Ball. DaBaby has made a number of limp apologies…

Zoog has developed a children’s videobook creation platform to help bridge generation gaps for families James Spiro 14:0702.01.22 Zoog, a creative communication app built to offer distant family members a creative way to connect to one another, has announced a partnership with Snap, the camera company behind products and services such as Snapchat, Spectacles, and Bitmoji. Using Zoog’s mobile app, users can bring books to life and ‘become part of the story’ by adopting AR masks, filters, and other visual effects. Many consider Snap primarily a social media platform, but recent efforts by the company have led it to launch a closed Beta that offers some companies access to their Camera Kit, a complete end-to-end AR creation solution that includes their platform and Lens Analytics management tool. Zoog’s access to Snap’s Camera Kit means the company will join Viber, Triller, and Bumble, among others. Yoav Oren and Matan Guttman. Photo: PR “The process of integrating Camera Kit into Zoog was more complicated than we anticipated,” said Matan Guttman, co-founder and CPTO at Zoog. “There are many creative complexities to our stories, some of which even surprised Snap’s engineers. We are finally ready to launch Zoog 2.0 with some amazing upgrades.…

There have been speculations that WhatsApp will implement a third blue tick to allow users to identify when a screenshot of a chat is taken. The reality is that the news is fake. Many WhatsApp users have recently been wondering about the third blue tick. However, WABetaInfo, a website notorious for releasing WhatsApp-related information, tweeted that the story is false. WhatsApp is NOT developing a third blue check to detect screenshots: it's fake news. — WABetaInfo (@WABetaInfo) December 27, 2021 The rumours were that the third tick will let users know if someone took a screenshot of the chat or any disappearing media they uploaded. It was supposed to be a supplement to the current two-tick method. If you’re a regular WhatsApp user, you’re probably aware that when you send someone a message, your message bubble displays a little grey-colored tick. When the message is delivered to the receiver, another tickmark, similar to the previous one is placed next to it. The double-ticks on your message turn blue when the receiver eventually opens the chat and reads your message. There isn’t a triple tick feature currently, and WhatsApp has no plans to add one very soon. For the unversed, Snapchat and Instagram…

Madeleine Nguyen Madeleine Nguyen is the cofounder and CEO of recruitment firm Talentdrop. She previously worked as a recruiter for top companies where she saw many mistakes made by recruiters. She explains the 5 biggest mistakes from assessment to assumption as told to reporter Robin Madell. This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Madeleine Nguyen, the cofounder and CEO of recruitment firm Talentdrop, who’s based in San Francisco. It has been edited for length and clarity. When it comes to hiring, I think it’s safe to say that I’ve seen it all. Before leaving to start my own company, Talentdrop, I spent eight years of my career as a recruiter in tech, and during that time, I helped major brands like Uber and Instacart fill talent gaps and work to drive their companies forward with each new hire. But the reality of my job is that I saw more examples of what not to do than models of best practices. Despite the weight behind those names, each of my employers fell victim to the same problem: the companies were evolving, but…
