Disneyland's revamped Jungle Cruise officially reopens July 16.

The Jungle Cruise will officially reopen on July 16, with some changes, the park announced Friday. The ride, which takes passengers through Asia, Africa and South America, had been closed since the park itself reopened April 30, after being shutdown because the pandemic.  The company had announced in January that it would remove "negative depictions" of native people and pledged to make further changes to "reflect and value the diversity of the world around us."  The ride, which originally opened in 1955, has been criticized, for example, for depicting the locals as hea...

Tristan Thompson seems to threaten Lamar Odom on Khloé Kardashians Instagram – Page Six

Gentlemen, please. Tristan Thompson seemingly threatened Lamar Odom in the comments section of their mutual ex Khloé Kardashian’s Instagram. The trouble in paradise started when Odom, 41, commented “Hottie” and a string of emoji under a snap of Kardashian, 37, performing her ablutions in an outdoor shower. Thompson, 30, took issue with that, writing, “God brought you back the first time. Play if you want, different results.” He followed it up with a more restrained “❤️❤️🤤🤤” in a separate comment. Now, far be it from Page Six — for legal reasons — to suggest that Thompson was threatening Odom, per se, but the jibe seems a likely reference to Odom’s near-fatal overdose at the Las Vegas-area Love Ranch brothel in October 2015. Odom later appeared...

Covid origins: Scientists weigh up evidence over viruss origins – Yahoo News

There is a "strong association" between the early outbreak and the sale of live animals in a market, scientists sayAmid the misery of a pandemic that has claimed at least four million lives, the scientific search for its origins has itself become toxic. While it is now hideously ubiquitous, Sars-Cov-2 is still only an 18-month-old disease. And the search for its start was officially set in motion in 2020 by a World Health Organization investigative team. Questions over its conclusions have escalated into a heavily politicised feud. Some research scientists, who have tried to unpick the pandemic's origins, have been accused of conspiracy and cover-up - based on no evidence. Now, 21 researchers - all seeking to understand how a virus that originated in bats transferred into humans - aim t...

With ‘Permission to Dance,’ Some BTS Fans Question the Group’s Direction – Yahoo Entertainment

South Korean K-pop group BTS dropped a music video on Friday for their new song, “Permission to Dance.” Typically, a BTS release is cause for much rejoicing and celebration among their following of “Armys.” However, this time, the atmosphere online is different — still mostly positive but less jubilant. Their fans are beginning to do something that was all but forbidden before: criticize. As BTS fans begin to emerge from the echo chamber of their fandom, voicing varied opinions of the song, a common message has begun to aggregate: bring the “old” BTS back. The song and music video are … fine. The seven singers are dressed in cowboy garb, dancing around the desert while winking and smiling appealingly into the camera. “Permission to Dance” itself is cute, if not catchy. Like their other E...
