Disney Director Sohrab Makker: 'No Non-White, Non-Jewish' Hires, Calls CEO 'Corrupt'
Walt Disney Television's Director of Production/Finance, Sohrab "Dave" Makker reveals Disney won't hire anyone "who's not white or not Jewish" for C-Suite roles, confirming discriminatory hiring practices detailed in OMG's 'The Disney Tapes: Part 1.'
Makker, who tracks diversity in annual reports, reveals that the reports “tell us the diverse cast of members that are in there,” and that he has witnessed “the number count go up.”
Makker says Disney prioritizes LGBTQ stories for children, stating, “We insert diversity when it's not really organic to the story,” admitting shows have “flopped” because “the audience didn't connect” to forced diversity.
He calls Disney CEO Bob Iger “corrupt,” saying, “He just wants to stay in power.” He proceeds to criticize Elon Musk, calling him a “narcissist” driven by attention, yet agrees with Musk’s call for Iger’s firing.

"Cyber Terrorist" Sentenced for Swatting: Understanding the Crime and Its Implications
In a significant legal outcome, Ashton Connor Garcia, a 21-year-old from Bremerton, has been sentenced to three years in federal prison for his involvement in a series of swatting incidents. Swatting is a dangerous and illegal activity where someone makes false emergency calls to dispatch police or emergency services to a specific location, often resulting in severe consequences for the victims. Garcia, who referred to himself as a "cyber terrorist," pleaded guilty to federal charges of extortion and threats, highlighting the serious nature of his actions.
The Crime and Its Execution
Garcia's malicious activities took place in 2022, when he used an online phone service to make fraudulent emergency calls to various agencies in the United States and Canada. These calls, which were live-streamed on the communication platform Discord, reported violent crimes that were fabricated. The primary aim of such actions was to provoke a heavy and urgent response from law enforcement, typically involving SWAT teams, hence the term "swatting."
During the incidents, Garcia taunted police and emergency dispatchers, taking perverse pleasure in the chaos and fear he caused. His calls included reports of violent crimes such as shootings and hostage situations, creating panic and potentially putting lives at risk.
What is a Cyber Swatter?
A "cyber swatter" is someone who engages in swatting using digital means. This often involves the use of technology to mask their identity and location, making it difficult for law enforcement to trace the origin of the calls. Cyber swatters exploit online phone services and other communication platforms to execute their pranks or malicious activities anonymously. They may also use live streaming or social media to broadcast their actions to an audience, seeking notoriety or infamy.
The term "cyber swatter" underscores the digital nature of the crime, differentiating it from more traditional forms of harassment or false reporting. It combines the elements of cybercrime—such as hacking and anonymity—with the physical danger posed by falsely mobilizing emergency services.

Hawk Tuah girl - Who is the new TikTok phenomenon and is her grandmother proud of her fame?
Unless you live under a rock, you will have heard of the "Hawk Tuah" girl.
YouTubers Tim & Dee TV were doing "Vox Pops" or "Voice of the People" videos on their Youtube channel, and they come across a very attractive young girl and her friend, they ask them both some questions, and then the meme was born.
First watch the original video as it was released on Instagram.
In the above clip, she responds to a NSFW question in a beautiful Southern accent: "Oh, you gotta give him that hawk tuah and spit on that thing! You get me?".
This clip was then shared on TikTok, and was remixed hundreds of times, leading to this young lady getting internet famous over night with tens of millions of views of her saying "hawk tuah and spit on that thing".
Now as far as I can find out her name is "Hailey Welch", although that has not been 100% verified as of writing.
Hundreds of memes have come from this, some of my favourites are below. But for now we don't know 100% who she is, is she Hailey Welch as some have claimed? Time will tell, afterall she might just want to disappear into obscurity, that or she is meeting with an agent and is planning her OnlyFans career as we speak.
