In March 2021, an Austin-based man who goes by the name Joyous Heart posted a photo on Instagram of a group of extremely well-dressed, attractive individuals, beaming against the backdrop of a pristine sunset. “What a wonderful tribe of human being we have here in Austin… so grateful to be co-creating and experiencing life with these superheroes!,” the caption read. According to the post, the event was in honor of the 46th birthday of Dr. Micah Pittman, the owner of a chiropractic practice in Lakeway, Texas, who regularly shares anti-vaccine content and Covid conspiracy theory memes on his Instagram page . Indeed, by all appearances, the event seems to have been a who’s who of people prominent in the Austin “conspirituality” community, a term used to describe the intersection between conspiracy theories and spirituality. The conservative comedian, influencer, and entrepreneur JP Sears, who has built an audience of nearly one million Instagram followers with his anti-vaccine, … [Read more...] about James Van Der Beek’s Influencer Wife Is Peddling Vaccine Conspiracy Theories on Instagram

Courtesy of NBA Carmelo Anthony needed to be restrained from going after fans in Philadelphia on Thursday night ... and it's all because he says some of them called him "boy." As the L.A. Lakers were down big to the 76ers in the fourth quarter of their game in Philly ... Melo stopped playing and began walking toward a group of Sixers fans that appeared to be talking trash. At one point, it looked like Anthony was going to enter the crowd and get face-to-face with the men ... but, fortunately, referees grabbed him before he could get to the fans. Arena security ended up booting the men from the area before it could escalate further ... and when Melo was asked about the incident following the game, he told the L.A. Times that he was called "boy" by the men. Melo added in his postgame interview that he believed all of the smack talk crossed lines. "Some things were said -- unacceptable," Anthony said. "I'm cool with fans heckling, fans … [Read more...] about Carmelo Anthony Gets In Altercation With Fans After He Says He Was Called ‘Boy’

The Jan. 6 committee has subpoenaed 14 of the fake Republican “electors” who schemed to overturn their states’ 2020 election results by signing forged documents submitted to the government. “The Select Committee is seeking information about attempts in multiple states to overturn the results of the 2020 election, including the planning and coordination of efforts to send false slates of electors to the National Archives,” Chairman Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) wrote in a statement. “We believe the individuals we have subpoenaed today have information about how these so-called alternate electors met and who was behind that scheme. We encourage them to cooperate with the Select Committee’s investigation to get answers about January 6th for the American people and help ensure nothing like that day ever happens again.” The Select Committee has issued subpoenas to 14 individuals who participated as purported “alternate electors” for former President Trump.

, Adrien Brody passion project Clean , Cannes winner Compartment No. 9 , Danish upscale restaurant drama A Taste of Hunger and Woody Allen’s latest Rifkin’s Festival hit theatres crowded by Oscar contenders in a specialty market consumed by awards season (and as a major storm looks set to pummel the Northeast). There’s more new content than the market has seen in many weeks, although these can be hard frames for indie distributors to find available screens. ( Belfast , for instance, which did well this week as the DGA, PGA, WGA and ACE unveiled nominations, is adding 130 runs, as per Focus Features. Nightmare Alley is back up to 1,100 screens as Searchlight Pictures rolls out the black-and-white version.) But it’s easier now than it will be after Feb. 8 and a crush of actual Oscar nominees, said one distribution executive. “We’re going in, trying to get a couple of weeks, get some space.” Sony’s move to push the release of Morbius from today to April 1 … [Read more...] about ‘GameStop: Rise Of The Players’ Brings The Meme Stock Era To Theaters – Specialty Preview

Over two nights, Janet Jackson ’s story is being told in detail — by none other than Jackson herself. Airing simultaneously on Lifetime and A&E, Janet Jackson is a four-part docuseries that mixes a traditional retelling of a pop star’s life from childhood until now with some juicy revelations; the series straddles the difficult line between rare intimacy from an extremely private public figure and the tight control that comes from letting said figure dictate that narrative. (The first two episodes premiere tonight ; the second two air on January 29th.) In many ways, Jackson’s life has been documented since she was young. Her brothers signed to Motown as the Jackson 5 when she was a toddler, quickly becoming megastars and launching the entire family into a bigger level of fame than the Gary, Indiana natives were likely ready to handle. Though from Janet’s perspective, it’s the only life she knew, and t he first episode plays out like an old-school music … [Read more...] about ‘Janet Jackson’ Docuseries Reveals Exactly What Ms. Jackson Wants — and Nothing More
