Native Americans are pissed at J.K. Rowling's appropriation of their legend in her new book.

Some Native American fans are not happy about their inclusion in J.K. Rowling's new fiction about the history of magic. Rowling just announced the release of a complete (fictional) history of magic in North America to help promote the upcoming Harry Potter prequel movie, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. The magical history begins in the 14th century, and it includes extensive descriptions of Native American magic.

It began when Rowling answered a fan's question on Twitter about "skin-walkers," a Navajo legend about humans that have the ability to shapeshift into animals:

Native Americans and scholars are upset that Rowling chose to appropriate them for use in her stories without first considering whether it would be culturally appropriate:

https://twitter.com/NativeApprops/status/707222411297611776https://twitter.com/NativeApprops/status/707222859932946432https://twitter.com/debreese/status/707276419395493888https://twitter.com/hungrynavajo/status/707241081818054656https://twitter.com/Salome/status/707257560299085826

Rowling has not yet responded to the criticism. But she's likely aware of it, since she does tweet a whole bunch, and often jumps in the fray on social issues: she questioned Trump's proposed Muslim ban and defended a black theater actress playing the role of Hermione. Harry Potter nerds are relentless, and they will expect her to respond. If she chooses not to, she'll probably have to employ some sort of enchantment to convince people she didn't read the anger and backlash from Native American fans.

Sure, everyone's addicted to their phone these days. It's only second nature to post everything you do, think, or feel on Facebook. But you really shouldn't. At least wait until later, when you've had a chance to think about whether or not it's a good idea.

The new 'Game of Thrones' season 6 trailer is here. And it might show Jon Snow's funeral.

Finally your sad, hard life can have some joy in it again, because Game of Thrones, which is returning to HBO on April 24, finally put out a real, full-length trailer for its sixth season. When you last saw this motley crew of murderers, dragon queens, and sister-f*ckers, the show left you with the instantly famous cliffhanger of Jon Snow dying, betrayed by his own men. Everyone agreed immediately that he'd return, somehow. And still, even so, the trailer shows a glimpse of Snow's maybe funeral, at the very end.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CuH3tJPiP-U

Somehow, even that isn't fully convincing. Why is Davos fighting at what looks like it could be a funeral? Is Davos trying to steal Jon Snow's body for some reason? Like a resurrection reason?

Today's luckiest man alive is this reporter who almost got hit by a car while on air.

Alex Savidge is a reporter for KTVU in the San Francisco Bay Area. On Tuesday morning, Savidge was reporting on a train derailment when he almost experienced a life derailment, as two cars careened right into where he was standing:

https://twitter.com/KTVU/status/707233775344705537

Thankfully, Savidge is fine, although obviously a little shaken up at having barely missed death while on live television. On Facebook, Savidge wrote a special thank you to his photographer, Chip, who is also OK: 

Well that was truly the most frightening thing that's ever happened to me! And I want to make sure everyone understands how important the person is who's standing behind that camera.

I'm not sure what would have happened if my photographer Chip hadn't yelled at me to move at the last second...he had my back and I'm so thankful for that. I also appreciate everyone checking in on me today...I'm doing pretty good all things considered...your love and support means the world!

In an interview with the station's anchors right after the incident, class-act Savidge apologized if he cursed at all on air. One anchor replied, "we didn't hear anything inappropriate," instead of saying what he was probably thinking, "if you almost get hit by a car, we f*cking expect you to f*cking curse."

After the harrowing experience, Savidge ended the day with (at least) one well-deserved beer:

John Goodman reveals the reason he'll never speak to Kristen Wiig again. It wasn't her fault.

John Goodman, titan of TV and film, still gets shy around other stars (even ones who were cast members of Saturday Night Live* when he was a host), which led to a moment that he says makes him to scared to ever talk to Kristen Wiig again.

Hopefully, this story will lead to a making-up and then a buddy comedy.

Talking about his experiences in show business on the Howard Stern Show, Goodman, who eschews Los Angeles to reside full-time in New Orleans, made a rare appearance at a star-filled party where he spotted Wiig and wanted to tell the Bridesmaids star how much he liked her work:

"She was talking to somebody else, and I was just — I think she's so great, and the social barriers broke down and I interrupted the conversation. And I would just hate for somebody to do that to me. And she goes, 'yeah, I'll talk to you in a minute.' [makes sound of bomb dropping] It was like the Atom. I shrunk down to Atom size. ...I really like her, and it was embarrassing, so I'll never speak to her again."

Aww. Well, that must have felt awkward, but maybe Kristen Wiig was intimidated by whoever she was talking to? Hollywood is a bizarre food chain, as evidenced by the fact that while filming Monuments Men, Goodman felt totally comfortable taking long bike rides with Bill Murray, but was still too shy to hang out with George Clooney and Brad Pitt. (The producers would have to send assistants in cars out to find Goodman and Murray, who constantly got lost.) As great as Pitt and Clooney are, they have not been famous for as long as Murray. Here's Goodman on Howard Stern discussing said friendship:

*Editor's Note: I was an SNL intern in the fall of 2006 when Goodman hosted, and the cast, including Wiig, was so thrilled he would be there. If you read this, Goodman, I promise they think you're cool.

As badass as she is, Wonder Woman's costume is literally not safe for work.

Wonder Woman may literally be an Amazon warrior princess with super-strength, an invisible plane, and the power to compel her enemies to tell the truth, but her costume was obviously designed by dudes. As this sketch from H.U.N.K.S. comedy makes clear, Wonder Woman is just as likely to stop criminals with her impractical costume and awkward wardrobe malfunctions as she is with her impressive arsenal of actual powers.

Serious post-tornado news report totally hijacked by cool dog on a riding lawnmower.

Parts of Texas were recently hit with strong storms, including tornados. The storms caused damage to some to areas such as Malakoff, where Andrea Martinez was reporting for news station KYTX. But while she was surveying the serious damage with her cameraman, she discovered a very un-serious scene among the rubble that changed the entire tone of the report. She found a dog on a ride-on lawnmower.

https://www.facebook.com/kytxcbs19/videos/10154014774994640/

Perhaps the best part of this video is when the dog stops looking at them and gets back to its job, which is obviously just sitting on that lawnmower and staring straight forward. Good work, dog.

Get a room.

Kim Kardashian kontinues to defend her nudes in blog post: 'I'm allowed to be sexy.'

0

The konversation over Kim Kardashian's nude selfies kontinues. In a blog post to honor International Women's Day, Kim wrote about how nudity empowers her, and writes an articulate defense that would make her father (of the O.J. dream team) proud. 

"I never understand why people get so bothered by what other people choose to do with their lives," the mother of two writes, "I don't do drugs, I hardly drink, I've never committed a crime—and yet I'm a bad role model for being proud of my body?" 

Kim to the prudes against nudes.

Her thesis is thus:

I am empowered by my sexuality. I am empowered by feeling comfortable in my skin. I am empowered by showing the world my flaws and not being afraid of what anyone is going to say about me. And I hope that through this platform I have been given, I can encourage the same empowerment for girls and women all over the world.

That seems like a direct dig at Chloë Grace Moretz, who questioned Kim's role as a role model for young girls. 

She concludes:

It's 2016. The body-shaming and slut-shaming—it's like, enough is enough. I will not live my life dictated by the issues you have with my sexuality. You be you and let me be me. I am a mother. I am a wife, a sister, a daughter, an entrepreneur and I am allowed to be sexy.

Props to Kim. 

Haters gonna hate, and Kim K will laugh as she and Kanye cash checks and ride off into the sunset.  

Mitt Romney read mean tweets from Trump supporters on 'Kimmel,' made everyone miss 2012.

On March 3, former presidential hopeful Mitt Romney blasted Donald Trump at the Hinckley Institute of Politics Forum, calling him "a fraud" and "very, very not smart." Oddly enough, Trump's supporters did not like that, and they let him know as much via Twitter. So, of course, Jimmy Kimmel got Romney to read some of them on air on his show Tuesday night.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zi_tuMjl8DY

Romney has been trying to fight Trump's momentum and even recorded a message for telephone robocalls—paid for by Marco Rubio's campaign—that went out to Republicans in four states the day before they voted, urging them not to vote for Trump. It's almost like Romney and Trump don't like each other much or something.

Second Wachowski sibling comes out as transgender in powerful open letter after reporter allegedly threatens to out her.

0
0

Several years after her sister, Lana, came out as transgender, the second Wachowski sibling, Lilly (formerly Andy), has done the same. The siblings and directing partners are known for making critically acclaimed science fiction epics such as The Matrixtrilogy, V For Vendetta, and Cloud Atlas. Lilly says the decision to announce her gender transition is largely due to intimidation by a reporter fromDaily Mail, as she explains in a powerful, enlightening letter tothe Windy City Times(the oldest LGBT newspaper in Chicago).

Standing on my front porch was a man I did not recognize.

"This might be a little awkward," he said in an English accent...

...He proceeded to explain he was a journalist from the Daily Mail, which was the largest news service in the UK and was most definitely not a tabloid. And that I really had to sit down with him tomorrow or the next day or next week so that I could have my picture taken and tell my story which was so inspirational! And that I really didn't want to have someone from the National Enquirer following me around, did I?

Wachowski went on to slam the Daily Mail for their 2012 public outing of an elementary school teacher named Lucy Meadows, who committed suicide months after the newspaper's report.

An editorial in the [Daily Mail] demonized [Lucy Meadows] as a damaging influence on the children's delicate innocence and summarized "he's not only trapped in the wrong body, he's in the wrong job." The reason I knew about her wasn't because she was transgender it was because three months after the Daily Mail article came out, Lucy committed suicide.

And now here they were, at my front door, almost as if to say—

"There's another one! Let's drag 'em out in the open so we can all have a look!"

Much of Wachowski's letter highlights the frequent dangers transgendered individuals face today, such as disproportionately high suicide rates and a shocking homicide rate which hit a historic high in the U.S. in 2015, according to the The Guardian.

A spokesman for DailyMail.comdenied Wachowski's allegations of wrongdoing on their behalf.

As Ms. Wachowski says herself, we were not the first media group which approached her and we made absolutely clear at several points in the conversation that we were only interested in doing the story with her cooperation and had no intention of publishing anything without her consent.

Our reporter was extremely sympathetic and courteous at all times.

We are baffled as to why Ms. Wachowski has reacted as she has but we wish her well with her journey.

GLAAD (Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) commended Wachowski's bravery and condemned the Daily Mail, saying, "Journalists must learn that it is unacceptable to out a transgender person, in the same way it is unacceptable to out a person who is gay, lesbian, or bisexual."

Read Wachowski's full statement below.

"SEX CHANGE SHOCKER—WACHOWSKI BROTHERS NOW SISTERS!!!"

There's the headline I've been waiting for this past year. Up until now with dread and/or eye rolling exasperation. The "news" has almost come out a couple of times. Each was preceded by an ominous email from my agent—reporters have been asking for statements regarding the "Andy Wachowski gender transition" story they were about to publish. In response to this threatened public outing against my will, I had a prepared a statement that was one part piss, one part vinegar and 12 parts gasoline.

It had a lot of politically relevant insights regarding the dangers of outing trans people, and the statistical horrors of transgender suicide and murder rates. Not to mention a slightly sarcastic wrap-up that "revealed" my father had injected praying mantis blood into his paternal ball-sac before conceiving each of his children to produce a brood of super women, hellbent on female domination. Okay, mega sarcastic.

But it didn't happen. The editors of these publications didn't print a story that was only salacious in substance and could possibly have a potentially fatal effect. And being the optimist that I am, I was happy to chalk it up to progress.

Then last night while getting ready to go out for dinner my doorbell rang. Standing on my front porch was a man I did not recognize.

"This might be a little awkward," he said in an English accent.

I remember sighing.

Sometimes it's really tough work to be an optimist.

He proceeded to explain he was a journalist from the Daily Mail, which was the largest news service in the UK and was most definitely not a tabloid. And that I really had to sit down with him tomorrow or the next day or next week so that I could have my picture taken and tell my story which was so inspirational! And that I really didn't want to have someone from the National Enquirer following me around, did I? BTW—The Daily Mail is so definitely not a tabloid.

My sister Lana and I have largely avoided the press. I find talking about my art frustratingly tedious and talking about myself a wholly mortifying experience. I knew at some point I would have to come out publicly. You know, when you're living as an out transgender person it's … kind of difficult to hide. I just wanted—needed some time to get my head right, to feel comfortable.

But apparently I don't get to decide this.

After he had given me his card, and I closed the door it began to dawn on me where I had heard of the Daily Mail. It was the "news" organization that had played a huge part in the national public outing of Lucy Meadows, an elementary school teacher and trans woman in the UK. An editorial in the "not-a-tabloid" demonized her as a damaging influence on the children's delicate innocence and summarized "he's not only trapped in the wrong body, he's in the wrong job." The reason I knew about her wasn't because she was transgender it was because three months after the Daily Mail article came out, Lucy committed suicide.

And now here they were, at my front door, almost as if to say—

"There's another one! Let's drag 'em out in the open so we can all have a look!"

Being transgender is not easy. We live in a majority-enforced gender binary world. This means when you're transgender you have to face the hard reality of living the rest of your life in a world that is openly hostile to you.

I am one of the lucky ones. Having the support of my family and the means to afford doctors and therapists has given me the chance to actually survive this process. Transgender people without support, means and privilege do not have this luxury. And many do not survive. In 2015, the transgender murder rate hit an all-time high in this country. A horrifying disproportionate number of the victims were trans women of color. These are only the recorded homicides so, since trans people do not all fit in the tidy gender binary statistics of murder rates, it means the actual numbers are higher.

And though we have come a long way since Silence of the Lambs, we continue to be demonized and vilified in the media where attack ads portray us as potential predators to keep us from even using the goddamn bathroom. The so-called bathroom bills that are popping up all over this country do not keep children safe, they force trans people into using bathrooms where they can be beaten and or murdered. We are not predators, we are prey.

So yeah, I'm transgender.

And yeah, I've transitioned.

I'm out to my friends and family. Most people at work know too. Everyone is cool with it. Yes, thanks to my fabulous sister they've done it before, but also because they're fantastic people. Without the love and support of my wife and friends and family I would not be where I am today.

But these words, "transgender" and "transitioned" are hard for me because they both have lost their complexity in their assimilation into the mainstream. There is a lack of nuance of time and space. To be transgender is something largely understood as existing within the dogmatic terminus of male or female. And to "transition" imparts a sense of immediacy, a before and after from one terminus to another. But the reality, my reality is that I've been transitioning and will continue to transition all of my life, through the infinite that exists between male and female as it does in the infinite between the binary of zero and one. We need to elevate the dialogue beyond the simplicity of binary. Binary is a false idol.

Now, gender theory and queer theory hurt my tiny brain. The combinations of words, like freeform jazz, clang disjointed and discordant in my ears. I long for understanding of queer and gender theory but it's a struggle as is the struggle for understanding of my own identity. I have a quote in my office though by José Muñoz given to me by a good friend. I stare at it in contemplation sometimes trying to decipher its meaning but the last sentence resonates:

"Queerness is essentially about the rejection of a here and now and an insistence on potentiality for another world."

So I will continue to be an optimist adding my shoulder to the Sisyphean struggle of progress and in my very being, be an example of the potentiality of another world.

Norwegian man finds $38,000 under his fireplace and immediately does the unthinkable with it.

A Norwegian real estate broker named Vemund Thorkildsen found 350,000 kroner (approximately $38,000 USD) in Norwegian bank notes under the fireplace in his new apartment. Instead of using the money to take a vacation to Norway's lovely fjords, he then donated it all to Kreftforeningen, the cancer foundation from whose estate he had purchased the apartment.

This is what the face of a very nice man looks like.

"At first we started to celebrate like if we had won the lottery," Thorkildsen, 27, told The Associated Press on Tuesday. "But then I thought this not my money."

After the story was reported by Norwegian newspaper Dagbladet, Thorkildsen received a deluge of phone calls and social media comments from friends and strangers alike, praising him for his honesty.

According to Thorkildsen, a lot of the comments were people saying they would have done the same thing. He added, "That gives you faith in humanity." You know what, it really sort of does. Norwegian humanity, at least.

Pink seemed to get in on the Kim Kardashian nude pic shaming, but the Internet wasn't having it.

By now, everyone in the world knows about the full-frontal nude selfie Kim Kardashian posted on Instagram and Twitter on Monday, even people living under rocks without the Internet. It's just that powerful. Singer Pink is the latest to weigh in on whether or not it's okay for a sexy woman to post a picture of herself being sexy. Although Pink doesn't reference Kardashian directly, it's not too hard to infer who and what she's talking about in her March 8 tweet.

https://twitter.com/Pink/status/707394293900554240?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw

Pink's tweet, which she sent out in honor of International Women's Day, reads:

Shout out to all of the women, across the world, using their brains, their strength, their work ethic, their talent, their "magic" that they were born with, that only they possess. It may not ever bring you as much 'attention' or bank notes as using your body, your sex, your tits and asses, but women like you don't need that kind of 'attention.' In the quiet moments, you will feel something deeper than the fleeting excitement resulting from attention, you will something called pride and self respect. Keep on resisting the urge to cave. You'll never have to make silly excuses for yourself. #internationalwomensday #bestrong

But not everyone appreciated Pink's message, and even some who may have supported her message couldn't resist pointing out that Pink might not be the best messenger (warning: some NSFW pics below).

Rebecca Keane, 21, tweeted a screengrab of an amazingly romantic Tinder message she was fortunate enough to receive.

https://twitter.com/rbcakn/status/707127452129165312

Wow, LUCKY GIRL!

This is Rebecca Keane, not "the other girl."

Keane, who is from Ireland, told Mashable: "I've never gotten a message like that before to be honest. All my other pictures are pictures of me so I don't know how he thought I was my friend. Seems to be a bit of an idiot."

Definitely an idiot. Unless, of course, he's just taking a page from the pick-up artist bible The Game and trying to "neg" her—which, according to the Seductionscience website, means lowering a woman's social value in relation to the pursuer's. Apparently, some men think preying on a woman's self-esteem is a good way to trick women into liking them. So if you think about it, still an idiot, really. Welp, good luck with all that, fellas!

Oh, and in case you're wondering, Keane responded to the message anyway.

Kraft secretly changed their Mac & Cheese recipe to see if anybody would notice. Nobody noticed.

0
0

Kraft Heinz says it has secretly and successfully introduced a reformulated recipe for its iconic mac & cheese, and consumers haven't noticed the difference. The first boxes of the new recipe hit shelves in December. The changes were not an attempt to mess with the flavor, but to remove artificial and processed ingredients.

The new formula replaced artificial dyes with ingredients like paprika and turmeric to maintain the bright yellow color that the boxed pasta is known for. This of course means that it was previously bright yellow because of a special combination of food coloring.

Kraft announced their ninja maneuver in a commercial with Craig Kilborn:

https://twitter.com/kraftmacncheese/status/706811246092226560

At press time, it appears their hashtag resulted in a whopping 10 tweets, most of which were tweeted by paid food and lifestyle bloggers:

https://twitter.com/taylorhouseblog/status/707571809164640257https://twitter.com/TheTipToeFairy/status/707331673499697152https://twitter.com/JManMillerBug/status/706860458461011968

In addition to not noticing that Kraft Mac & Cheese changed their recipe, most consumers probably didn't know that Kraft merged with Heinz (no word yet on whether they'll need to secretly change their ketchup).

Consumers may also not know that if you get a couple thousand followers on your blog and Twitter feed, gigantic packaged goods companies might pay you to tweet about their product. #Didntnotice.
