Several apparent firearms were seized.“The FBI has executed a federal search warrant in connection with an ongoing investigation,” a spokesman confirmed to Yahoo Entertainment. The affidavit in support of the search warrant has been sealed by a judge, so the official is prohibited from commenting on the nature of the investigation. No arrests are planned.TMZ obtained video of a “small army” of at least 20 agents in tactical gear entering Paul’s gated residence in armored trucks. It’s unknown if the 23-year-old was home.Paul is a controversial figure in the digital influencing world and is known for his pranks and stunts. His YouTube channel has over 20 million subscribers.In June, he was charged with criminal trespassing and unlawful assembly after he was identified among a crowd of looters at a mall in Scottsdale, Ariz. Both are misdemeanors. Paul faced backlash as videos posted to social media showed him walking through the mall as looters smashed the glass of a Sephora and Swarovski crystal store. In one video, Paul appeared to be handling a stolen bottle of vodka from P.F. Chang's.“Our investigation has revealed that Paul was present after the protest was declared an unlawful assembly and the rioters were ordered to leave the area by the police,” the Scottsdale Police Department said in a statement. “Paul also unlawfully entered and remained inside the mall when it was closed. As a result, Paul has been charged with criminal trespass and unlawful assembly.” Paul maintained his innocence and said he and his videographer, Andrew Blue, were at the mall to capture Black Lives Matter protests.Paul launched to fame in 2013 thanks to the now-defunct platform Vine. He starred on the Disney Channel show Bizaardvark, but parted ways after his Beverly Hills…

Wiley appears to be have been removed from YouTube after pressure mounted for the platform to do so following his anti-Semitic tirade. The Wearing My Rolex rapper launched into an offensive tirade about the Jewish community last month, which included comparing them to the Ku Klux Klan and tweeting that ‘Israel is not yours’.  It prompted an investigation from the Metropolitan Police and bans from social media sites Twitter, Instagram and Facebook.  With few platforms to utilise, Wiley began uploading rants on his YouTube channel sparking further outrage.  However, the account no longer appears on the website following mounting calls for YouTube to ban the grime star.  Addressing the move, a spokesperson from Campaign Against Anti-Semitism said: ‘Following contact between Campaign Against Antisemitism and Google, Wiley has now been banned from YouTube.  ‘This should have happened faster but we are pleased that this now means that Wiley can no longer incite antisemitism on any of the major social media platforms and has lost the ability to broadcast his hatred to the hundreds of thousands of people who followed him.’  To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video They added: ‘It is extremely important to us that Wiley is held to account for his actions, which is why we are in touch with the Metropolitan Police Service to ensure that he is prosecuted and the Cabinet Office to ensure that he is stripped of his MBE.  Wiley, 41, revealed he had been blocked out of his Google account – which owns YouTube – in a TikTok video showing a message which said: ‘Unable to access a Google product,’ in reference to YouTube.  YouTube initially demonetised Wiley’s account and said of its policy: ‘Hate speech and content that promotes hate against religious…

Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar on Tuesday launched the National Cooperative Development Corporation's YouTube channel, 'Sahakar Cooptube NCDC India', to encourage farmers and the youth to take benefit of cooperatives. He also released videos on formation and registration of cooperatives for 18 states in Hindi and regional languages. The videos will be aired on the new channel. "Cooperatives are part of our culture. Through this channel, our effort should be to facilitate involvement of the youth in the cooperative movement," Tomar said after the launch. Formation of new cooperatives is a prerequisite for bringing new life and dedication in the realm of the cooperative movement, he said. The guidance videos in different languages covering 18 states would also strengthen and deepen the major initiatives of our government to promote and form 10,000 farmer-producer organisations (FPOs), he said in a statement. Stating that NCDC has a major role in the formation of FPOs in the cooperative mode, he said more states will be added to the collection of guidance videos on Sahakar Cooptube NCDC India channel on YouTube in due course of time. Further, the minister said NCDC as an apex-level statutory institution under the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers' Welfare has achieved tremendous success with a cumulative financial assistance to cooperatives to the tune of Rs 1,54,000 crore. Beginning with a disbursement of Rs 2.36 crore in 1963, NCDC disbursed around Rs 28,000 crore during 2019-20, he said. According to the government, cooperatives in India have come a long way and have proven their success in improving the condition of farmers and economic development. Largely as associations of small and marginal farmers and the rural poor, the cooperatives have acquired a huge network of over 8.50 lakh organisations and 290 million members. Cooperatives lend support to farmers in minimising risks…

So you're watching a fun video on YouTube. Neat, good for you.  You've seen a moment you really like, and you want to convert that fun little moment from YouTube into a GIF. I get it, pal, GIFs can be fun. Don't be embarrassed if you don't know where to start. Creating an animated GIF from YouTube is easy and I've broken the process down into 10 very simple steps.  OK then, let's do it.  1. Pull up your YouTube video and copy the link For demonstration purposes, I'm choosing the "Instagram" sketch from Netflix's hilariously bonkers, truly wonderful sketch show I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson.   Why? Because I love that show and it is very GIF-able.  2. Go to Giphy.com and create an account You don't need a fancy GIF maker or Photoshop to create a GIF from a YouTube video. You just a Giphy account.   I'm assuming here that if you're looking for tips to make a GIF, you do not have a Giphy account. So go ahead and make one. You must have an account to make GIFs on Giphy, which wasn't the case in the past. It's simple: You just need an email address and a password. There are other GIF converters out there, but using Giphy is going to be the easiest path and will leave you with a quality GIF.  3. On Giphy.com, click the "create" icon right beside "Upload in the righthand corner. It looks like this: Image: Screenshot / Giphy 4. Paste your YouTube link into the blank space under the title "Add Any URL"  Below is what that'll look like. You can also make GIFs from Vimeo, Giphy, or from videos you have on your computer.  Image: Screenshot / giphy 5. Once you paste your link,…

Instagram/brittany_broski?imgriffinjohnson TikTok influencers are taking a break from their usual content and making their way to YouTube for a cooking competition that will premiere next week. Dish This will be a six episode series on AwesomenessTV's YouTube channel, and it'll feature all of your favorite TikTok influencers going head to head in the kitchen. Basic Bitchen: 100+ Everyday Recipes―from Nacho Average Nachos to Gossip-Worthy Sunday Pancakes―for the Basic Bitch in Your Life Dish This will be hosted by Chowhound's editor-at-large Joey Skladany and will center around recipes from his upcoming cookbook Basic Bitchen. Contestants will be given photos of dishes from the cookbook and will have to recreate it with no hints besides the picture in front of them. Skladany will then judge the final dishes based on ingredients, presentation, and creativity. To add to the stakes, the contestants will be given challenges throughout the competition, and whoever wins can get tips for how to cook the dish or choose to sabotage the other contestant. There are some pretty big TikTok names lined up for the show, including Noah Beck and Griffin Johnson from the "Sway House," Brittany Broski (who rose to fame from her kombucha reaction video), Sarah Schauer, Cristian Dennis, Tyshon Lawrence, Daniella and Devenity Perkins, Sofie Dossi, and Zak Dossi. This content is imported from TikTok. You may be able to find the same content in another format, or you may be able to find more information, at their web site. The six-part series will premiere on AwesomenessTV's YouTube channel on August 4 at 4p.m. EST. Skladany's cookbook will be released on the same day (but you can preorder it now!). If we're lucky, we'll get some behind the scenes content from Dish This on each influencer's individual TikTok accounts, so we have a lot to look…

Facebook is adding official music videos to its service in the US after partnering with major music companies including Sony Music, Universal Music Group, and Warner Music Group, the company announced today. The videos can be found through Facebook Watch and via individual artists’ pages. They can be shared, reacted to, or commented on like any other video on Facebook. It’s a big shift for Facebook, which in the past has only been able to share short previews of music videos from artists on major US labels, TechCrunch previously reported, or just audio in some cases, according to Bloomberg. With this launch, Facebook is stepping into an area where YouTube is dominant. Music videos are one of the most popular genres on Google’s video site. Bloomberg notes that Facebook’s interest in music videos likely stems from the more lucrative advertising rates associated with video. As part of its announcement, Facebook says that its platform will feature exclusive music video content from a variety of artists including J Balvin, Karol G, Sebastián Yatra, Alejandro Fernández, and Calibre 50. A new official music video from Lele Pons will exclusively premiere on Facebook, and it also says it will have an exclusive video from Panamanian R&B singer Sech. Bloomberg previously reported that Facebook had been offering to fund the production of certain music videos in exchange for exclusivity. Facebook has previously offered music videos in Thailand and India. The launch of music videos on Facebook comes just months after its Facebook Gaming section inherited Mixer’s streaming partners when Microsoft closed down the service. All Mixer sites and apps automatically started redirecting to Facebook Gaming on July 22nd. Facebook says its new music videos section will be available on iOS, Android, and desktops starting today.

Their performance, from June 25, 1999, came after sets from Blondie, Bush and Hole, among other artists.Singer Michael Stipe recalled, “Hole did such a great set, I was like—I’ve got to ramp this up, I’ve got to be great. I think it was maybe a moment for R.E.M. and the UK where we had kind of been forgotten or pushed aside by younger bands, and that was a particular moment at Glastonbury where I think we pulled ourselves back to the front of the line and actually proved, this is what we’re capable of. It was a great show for us!”R.E.M.‘s set included “The One I Love,” “Losing My Religion,” “Man on the Moon,” “Everybody Hurts,” “Daysleeper” and “It’s the End of the World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine).”The audio from the performance was recently released as part of the band’s “R.E.M. at the BBC” collection.

Image: Screengrab, YouTube I’ve been thankful in quarantine that you can find Errol Morris’s documentaries on streaming services, not only because I think about Donald Rumsfeld’s bonkers word salad weekly, but also because Stephen Hawking grappling with the concept of origins helped put things into perspective. A few days ago, Morris quietly uploaded his two-season Bravo series First Person (2000) to YouTube; from a brief perusal, it is a delight. It’s also a product of Morris’s favoured televisual invention, the terrifyingly-named Interrotron. The series features anybody with a story, but mostly, studies fringe pathology and moral deviance: there’s a “crime scene cleaner,” a woman who dates serial killers, a cryonics trailblazer who describes freezing his mum’s head. The series title and cutaways highlight Morris’s carefully-orchestrated design to get subjects to make direct eye contact with the viewer — an approach accomplished by a set of two cameras and two, two-way teleprompter mirrors, superimposing a live feed of both the director and interviewee over the lenses. (You can see a diagram by production designer Steve Hardie here.) Today, we might think of this as video conferencing, but it’s better; the camera on a laptop is still slightly above the image of the other person’s face. Image: Screengrab, YouTube Prior to the Interrotron, Morris told FLM Magazine in a 2004 interview, he used to strain to put his head right next to the camera lens in order to simulate a real conversation.“We all know when someone makes eye contact with us. It is a moment of drama,” he said. “Perhaps it’s a serial killer telling us that he’s about to kill us; or a loved one acknowledging a moment of affection. Regardless, it’s a moment with dramatic value. We know when people make eye contact with us, look away and then make…
