EntertainmentThe cartoon production company Disney has warned that the actors’ strike could stop the production of the animation until the end of this year.
Jennifer Lee, the creative director of Walt Disney Animation Studios, has been able to continue production until now, international media write.
But the actors’ union, of which her husband, actor Alfred Molina, is also a member, has been on strike for nearly three months.
Lee has stated that there is time, perhaps until the end of the year, before her films are affected by the crisis that the artists’ movement is creating.
However, she has expressed that she believes that there will be a fair agreement that will resolve the strike because according to her, the actors and producers are all together.
Disney is celebrating its centennial. In October 1923, Walt and his brother Roy officially founded the Disney Brothers Cartoon Studio.
Five years later they introduced Mickey and Minnie Mouse to the world, in the early black and white masterpiece, Steamboat Willie.
Since then, the company has become a successful animation powerhouse with beloved children’s productions such as Snow White, Cinderella and most recently Anna’s Story and El

Technology UncategorizedThe EU has warned Elon Musk that X is being used to spread “disinformation” after Hamas’ attack on Israel.
In a post on the site formerly known as Twitter, the bloc’s industry chief said “violent and terrorist content” had not been taken down, despite warnings – as is required by EU law.
Mr Musk said his company had taken action, including by removing newly-created Hamas-affiliated accounts.
He asked the EU to list the alleged violations.
Thierry Breton, Commissioner for the Internal Market of the European Union, did not give details on the disinformation he was referring to in his letter to Mr Musk.
However, he said that instances of “fake and manipulated images and facts” were widely reported on the social media platform.
“I therefore invite you to urgently ensure that your systems are effective, and report on the crisis measures taken to my team,” he wrote in his letter which he shared on social media.
His letter comes days after the Palestinian militant group Hamas launched an attack on Israel, killing hundreds of residents and taking dozens of hostages.
In response, Israeli forces have launched waves of missile strikes on Gaza which have killed more than 900 people.
In his response on X, Mr Musk said: “Our policy is that everything is open and transparent, an approach that I know the EU supports.
“Please list the violations you allude to on X, so that the public can see them.”
Mr Breton said that Mr Musk was “well aware of your users’ – and authorities’ – reports on fake content and glorification of violence”, adding that it was up to him to “demonstrate that you walk the talk”.
The EU Digital Services Act (DSA) is designed to protect users of big tech platforms.
It became law last November but firms were given time to make sure their systems complied.
On 25 April, the commission named the very large online platforms – those with over 45 million EU users – that would be subject to the toughest rules, among them X. The law came into effect four months later in August.
Under the tougher rules, larger firms have to assess potential risks they may cause, report that assessment and put in place measures to deal with the problem.
Failure to comply with the DSA can result in EU fines of as much as 6% of a company’s global turnover, or potentially suspension of the service.
Mr Musk dissolved Twitter’s Trust and Safety Council shortly after acquiring the company in 2022. Formed in 2016, the volunteer council contained about 100 independent groups who advised on issues such as self-harm, child abuse and hate speech.

LifeStyle USAThe story of the Cecil Hotel, now officially called the Stay on Main, is located on Main Street in Los Angeles, and has a very chilling story that has fueled the imagination of many for years.
Unlike other haunted hotels where ghosts are “seen” and where accidents may have occurred, Cecil has been the scene of several fatal accidents that can be characterized as mysterious.
The Cecil is a hotel built in 1924 and designed as an affordable place for business people and travelers to stay.
This 14-story building has 700 rooms and as of 2017, the building is under the protection of the city and has been declared a cultural asset of Los Angeles.
However, during its more than 90 years of existence, Hotel Cecil has gained a reputation as a place of horror, where unexplained and supernatural things happen.
Two serial killers, Richard Ramirez and Jack Unterweger, once stayed at the hotel. Ramirez, also known as the Night Stalker, killed up to 13 people in the 1980s before he was caught.
Unterweger is believed to have killed at least three prostitutes during his stay at the hotel. It is an urban myth that Elizabeth Short, whose 1947 murder was never solved, was seen drinking in the hotel bar just days before her death.
It is a crime that shocked all of America that year, as her body was cut in half and mutilated. Her killer was never found and today it is the oldest unsolved crime in the history of the “city of angels”.
Her case has been the subject of books, TV shows and Hollywood movies, including 1981’s True Story starring Robert De Niro and Robert Duvall.
The press of the time called her “The Black Dahlia” and in 2006 Brian de Palma made a film about her with that name. The story of student Eliza Lam is still the one that attracted the most attention as her death remains a mystery to this day.The body of Canadian student Eliza Lam was found in a water tank at the hotel in 2013, and how it got there was never explained.

Technology UncategorizedThe “X” platform, or the former “Twitter”, is the social network in which the most lies are spread in terms of the number of posts.
these are the conclusions reached in the research report carried out by the European Commission, conducted with respondents in several EU member countries.
Practically, as the British service BBC writes, research was conducted on 6,000 unique posts on social networks “Facebook”, “Instagram”, “Linkedin”, “TikTok”, “X” and “YouTube”, and the findings of the study show that social networks globally broadcast sensitive and insufficiently verified content, i.e. manipulative.
The study analyzed content in three countries considered particularly at risk of disinformation, Spain, Poland and Slovakia.
Meanwhile, the EU issued a warning to Elon Musk to comply with new Russian fake news and propaganda laws after it was found that platform X had more misinformation than other major social media platforms, the Guardian reported. “.
The report analyzed the scale of disinformation in a new report which revealed for the first time the scale of fake news on social media across the EU, with millions of fake accounts taken down from TikTok and LinkedIn. Interestingly, Facebook was named the second-worst offender when it comes to disinformation, according to the report, which also notes that if social networks do not comply with European data-sharing rules, Brussels could in the near future to declare them illegal under the Digital Services Act (DSA), which came into force in August.
Meanwhile, Facebook and other tech giants, including Google, TikTok and Microsoft, have signed up to a code of practice drawn up by the EU to ensure they can prepare in time to act under the new laws.
Twitter has abandoned the code of practice but is required under the new law to follow the rules or face an EU-wide ban.
