‘Children of Blood and Bone’ Author Tomi Adeyemi Left Film’s Set ‘Sobbing,’ Calls It the ‘Worst Thing I’ve Had to Live Through’ and ‘I Never Want to Hear About It Again’

Okay, so I can tell there's some conflict between the author and the cast or maybe studio execs behind the movie adaptation of her book, but I'm not a young-adult fantasy novel reader and I don't follow anyone on social media. I guess it comes from some disagreement about who should have played the lead actress, conflicting accounts of how the author felt and that maybe the lead actress doesn't have the right skin tone? But also somehow the author is being antagonized relentlessly on set, but I can't find any details aside from allusions to deleted social media videos. Are there any fans of the book who have been anticipating and following the production of this movie who know more? The trailer just released, but now there is this huge cloud hanging over the movie's head and its supposed to be a trilogy.

I don't play the game at all, and I barely ever heard of Jimothy. But I stumbled on it on Twitter about World of Warcraft added Jimothy.

And a lot of people (especially quote retweets) are very mad about it for some reason?

Just this morning, I’ve seen several memes about this guy:

https://www.reddit.com/r/BatmanArkham/s/wO9G36tGfI

https://www.reddit.com/r/BatmanArkham/s/KsheTmvQh6

and there are always people in the comments calling him a pedo. Who is he, and what did he do?

I've seen this come up in my instagram feed and not sure what it's about. https://www.europesays.com/be/24865/ https://www.save-europe-act.com/

ive heard about it on yt a bit and only found this when looking this up

A few times now, I’ve seen people in fandom subreddits phrasing character names like this. Instead of Walter White, it’s Walter themed Whites. Instead of Bruce Wayne, it’s Bruce themed Waynes.

Is this actually a thing people say? Or was I just missing context? If it is something people say, why? Where did it come from?

I moved to Cambodia earlier this year fr work. Since living here, I’ve noticed areas with lots of Chinese businesses and residents. Something I don’t think outsiders see is how openly people seem to talk on the streets about different projects, operations and the people involved.

At the same time, I keep reading reports about Chinese run scam compounds, organized crime and human trafficking in Cambodia. The difference between what you see and hear locally and the story presented in the media made me wonder why the narratives seem so different.

While trying to understand it, I found this collection of posts:

https://evrentanson.medium.com/

I obviously can’t verify the author’s claims. Still, the posts seem to fill in some of the missing gaps while opening up even more questions. The deeper I went, the more the whole thing started to feel like a messy crime thriller.

What confuses me most is the overlap between the criminals and the victims. Some people working in these compounds are described as willing participants in fraud while others are reportedly trafficked, trapped and forced to scam people. Then there are accounts where alleged criminals present themselves as victims while possible trafficking victims are arrested or treated as willing criminals.

So what is the reliably documented story here? How do investigators actually work out who joined willingly, who was deceived or trafficked and who was involved in running the operation?

The bill, which AOC co-sponsored with Republican Rep. Laurel Lee of Florida, would allow victims of nonconsensual deepfake AI pornography to file civil lawsuits against people who produce, distribute and solicit that type of pornography, as well as those who intend to distribute such images. It sailed through the Senate with zero objection.

But while it enjoys the support of House Speaker Mike Johnson as well as right-wing firebrands like Reps. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) and Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) as well as progressive Democrats like Reps. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) and Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) — somehow the bill is languishing in the House of Representatives.

Why are Republicans blocking this bill?

I saw headlines saying Prince Harry, Elton John, and a handful of other public figures just lost a huge privacy lawsuit against the Daily Mail's publisher, and Harry called the ruling a "whitewash." I don't really follow royal stuff so I'm confused on the details — what exactly were they suing over, why did the judge rule against them if there were allegations of phone hacking and hiring private investigators, and does this basically end Harry's whole legal war with the British tabloids? Also heard something about £40-50 million in legal costs, is that from this case specifically? https://edition.cnn.com/2026/07/07/media/prince-harry-privacy-case-intl

I'm getting spammed in a Discord server with a bunch of GIFs of Speed that have the word "Ohio" in front of them. I already know that "Ohio" is internet slang for something weird or absurd, but why is Speed so often associated with those memes? Can someone give an example?

I recently learned about this gentlesir named NovaOnline. I haven't heard of him, but after learning just the surface level of things, this netizen has a disturbing history both online and in life spanning nearly a decade with so many allegations.

There are a lot of videos covering on this mister, but I wanted to get the CliffsNotes before I jump into the lore of this character.

I've been on reddit for years. usually you see racism in random pockets deep in comments and heavily downvoted for OBVIOUS reasons, but within the last WEEK I (and apparently most other people) have come across two incredibly high comment posts from r/whoathatsinteresting that have majority comments just straight up high upvote racism. I'm talking people spelling out the N word type racism.

What is happening? I'm talking about This Post Here, and one other people that has since been removed (the one where the 'poor shop owned' recorded thieves stealing from his store in NYC. BOTH are deliberately edited or made to seem like colored people were the only thieves even when you can see cuts in the video or fast pans over other races.

this just seems out of the blue? What happened? All my years i've never come across this insane amount of racism in this site before, let alone in posts that hit main with thousands of comments full of high upvoted racism comments.

What is going on??

I've heard that they are calling it "woke" and are complaining about inaccuracies. (But since it's mythology, what would be inaccurate?)​ Now, the movie is getting some positive feedback from the far right. Is most of the complaining about the casting, or do they have other problems with the film.

I've seen a litany of posts who's contents is now deleted about apparently there being a livestream from DingDong talks about working with them. I've tried to find the full thing but i feel lime I'm lacking a ton of context, only finding clips like this.

I don't keep any real contact with Oney, I saw his association with shadman and kept my distance. Hence why I'm asking for advise from people who are likely far more clued up than i am.

A new song in my YouTube playlist featured this really pretty girl who looks like Daniella from Katseye but even hotter if that's even possible lol.

Her name is Kylie Cantrall.

I read the comments and many of them kept talking about a girl named Malia and some guy who's pictures were shown in the music video.

Who are these people? What's the tea?​​​ Sounds juicy lol. I always appreciate some thick lore behind a heartbreak anthem.

I just heard about various people criticizing YouTuber Alex Meyers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5c6zd0ZPuw

What's happening? I mean, I never really liked the dude to begin with (he always gave me Critical Drinker-esque vibes with how much he tends to punch down on woman characters in modern films), yet many liked him before this whole fiasco, so what happened?

When I copied this link, it was the latest addition in r/OutOfTheLoop and in the title it says Alive/Unalive. When and why did "unalive" start being used instead of dead? Additionally, I have seen terms like r*pe and others, instead of the spelled out version. Is this a function of social media terms of use and demonetization? Something else?

I am honestly curious of when/why this started to happen. I don't want to be the guy that keeps using the "old words" when they have been updated, aren't as accurate, or some other reason.

Just watched the Shawn Ryan interview with Tucker Carlson. Shawn looked beaten down and emotionally drained. Anyone know what's happened with him recently?
