10 years after its premiere in theaters, Disney’s Tangled is now being called into question by folks on the internet for its weird connection to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The current outbreak of the novel coronavirus has taken the world by storm, shutting down businesses and putting hundreds of millions of people under home quarantine. As of now, global communities have recorded 1.4 million patients and more than 81,000 deaths. Of those, nearly 400,000 cases belong to the United States alone, which is why health officials are imploring people to self-quarantine for the time being.
That being said, it’s obviously not easy spending so much time indoors with so little to do. Some have been trying to cope with this period of self-isolation in their own way, but it’s getting harder and harder to maintain productivity or a healthy routine. With so much time on their hands, people have consequently turned to...

Former Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams gave the Democratic party’s official response to Donald Trump’s State of the Union address on Tuesday, summing up the party’s objections to the president and their vision for a different path forward.
Many online, however, zeroed in immediately on the production values of the moment, which showed a uniquely crisp Abrams at an undisclosed location, standing in front of a blurred-out audience and what looked like solid blue drapes behind the risers. Many journalists and Twitter influencers wondered what the deal was — with some even publicly speculating about the possibility that the party had used a green screen.

The co-founders and early employees of the popular dating site Tinder have filed a lawsuit against owner Iac/InterActiveCorp and its Match Inc subsidiary, claiming Iac conspired to cheat the plaintiffs out of billions of dollars in stock options.
The suit, (read it here), filed Tuesday in the New York State Supreme Court in Manhattan, said Iac and Match deliberately offered “false, misleading and incomplete financial information and projections” in order to keep Tinder’s value low, thereby limiting its equity exposure. The lawsuit says Iac and Match downplayed Tinder’s success in private to lower the valuation but boasted about it in public when it helped the stock price, so “Defendants could enrich themselves by talking out of both sides of their mouths.”
The 10 plaintiffs include Tinder co-founders Sean Rad and Jonathan Badeen. They are seeking at least $2 billion in damages and a jury trial.
