Twitter Fails
Confusion surrounding Twitter Inc. deepened over the weekend after a number of high-profile accounts saw their prized blue check-marks reinstated — even though some of their owners have been dead for years. Among those accounts that sported the label, were celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain and National Basketball Association player Kobe Bryant. Bourdain died in 2018 and Bryant in 2020. The platform also awarded a gold checkmark, reserved for official business accounts, to a fake page impersonating Disney Junior hours before suspending the account.

Disneyland’s popular “Fantasmic” show was stopped almost immediately on Saturday night after the show’s fire-breathing animatronic dragon burst into flames, AP reported. The head of the dragon started to catch fire followed by the whole body. There were no injuries and the extent of the damage wasn’t immediately known.
