Zola review: Wonderfully chaotic Twitter story struggles to cut through the noise
‘They make movies based on tweets now?’ This was the repeated cry online when it was announced in early 2016 that Aziah ‘Zola’ King’s 148-tweet account of a wild 48 hours amid the underworld of Florida was set to make its way to the big screen. Accusations of creative bankruptcy in Hollywood soon followed, with some even comparing this new project to The Emoji Movie. But, evidently, those people had not read Zola’s thread, known euphemistically as #TheStory. Had it been published as a first person essay in a prestigious magazine, it would have been an absolute no-brainer for an adaptation, but it’s a writhing, twisting work of art which could only ever have existed via the very modern medium of micro-blogging. The film is similarly brazen, confrontational and fascinating. And I don’t remember a montage of penises in The Emoji Movie. The Twitter thread is a unique form of communication and, wisely, director Janicza Bravo’s sophomore feature – which she also …
‘Y’all wanna hear a story?’: Zola trailer drops as fans treated to first glimpse at movie based on epic Twitter drama
The Zola trailer has officially dropped – and it’s a bit of a fever dream as fans are treated to their first glimpse of the movie based on the infamous Twitter drama. For the uninitiated, the film, starring Taylour Paige and Riley Keough, has been years in the making. In October 2015, Aziah ‘Zola’ King shared a 148-post thread on Twitter about a trip to Florida she took with a stripper named Jessica. It was honestly the wildest ride, with stars like Missy Elliott and Solange Knowles joining us in getting gripped. Cut to six years later, and A24 has adapted the story for a film set for release this summer. The trailer opens with Zola and Jessica planning their trip to Florida, before the infamous opening line to the Twitter thread makes an appearance: ‘Y’all wanna hear a story about how me and this b***h fell out? It’s kinda long but it’s full of suspense.’ As the pair gear up their road trip, Zola is heard saying: ‘From here on out, watch every move this b***h …

Spirit Airlines names myriad of reasons for flight cancellations spanning several days
Spirit Airlines canceled hundreds of flights on Wednesday in the fourth day of travel disruptions for the airline. In a statement to Newsweek , the company blamed widespread system outages, poor weather and staffing shortages. The Florida-based airline, known for its inexpensive rates, had already removed 343 Wednesday flights from its schedule by 11 a.m. EDT. This accounts for roughly 50 percent of Spirit Airlines' flights for the day and comes on the heels of the airline canceling 61 percent of its Tuesday flights and 42 percent of its Monday flights, according to industry tracker FlightAware. The Spirit Airlines' flights scratched for Wednesday make up a great deal of the entire industry's U.S. flight cancellations of the day, which had totaled 523 at the time of this writing. American Airlines had also canceled hundreds of flights in recent days, but it had only removed 3 percent of its scheduled flights on Wednesday morning. Spirit apologized to its customers in its …

Tony Hawk is a giant of American skateboarding , has his own video game series and has appeared in The Simpsons , among other feats.

Kanye West was confused that Abraham Lincoln was a Republican. We called a high school teacher, who is here to help.
Culture History Kanye West Twitter Abraham Lincoln {"id":"50998","type":"widget","widget":"video","ratio":"16by9"} Did you know that Abraham Lincoln was a Republican? Kanye West, American rapper and 40-year-old eighth grade history student, just found out. And boy, is he shaken. West, who seems to be experiencing some sort of political and philosophical awakening in real time since praising President Trump and declaring the 45th president "my brother" six days ago, tweeted out a text exchange on Monday with someone named "Steve." In the texts, Steve notes that Lincoln "freed and protected the slaves and he was Republican. Republicans were the ones who's [sic] helped black people." (The tweet—which prompted an avalanche of people trying to explain grade-school history to a major rapper—has since been deleted, but you can find it archived here .) This is fairly common Republican rhetoric: By proclaiming itself the party of Lincoln and the Abolitionist …

The row between Taylor Swift and Kanye and Kim Kardashian West took another dramatic turn Sunday night as the pop star accused the couple of "character assassination." On the latest episode of Kardashian West's E! Reality show Keeping Up with the Kardashians , the star addressed previous claims by Swift that she wasn't made aware of a controversial line in West's song "Famous" released in February.

Electrician praised for ‘lovely’ act of kindness as they give little boy payslip
An electrician has been praised for their heartwarming act of kindness to a little boy. A woman said the labourers had been working on the family home for the past six weeks. Their little boy, named Theo, became "obsessed" with them during this period. She said he was always around them and constantly asked the electricians questions and whether he could help. However, instead of getting annoyed at the disruptions, she revealed the family had received a lovely note from the workmen for Theo. This came in the form of a payslip addressed to him for his 'work' on the job. Theo was rewarded £1.50 for measuring items, counting and adding up sockets, catering in the form of 'yummy cookies', volunteering and quality assurance (asking lots of questions). This all added up to the sum of £15, which was paid to him in cash. The woman, named Suzanne, shared a screenshot of the payslip with her 3,865 followers on Twitter as she wrote: "Possibly the sweetest …
