"The Wild Wild West End Oral History" preserves Atlanta's punk scene
While most of the world was fretting about the Y2K fallout that never happened, a motley crew of musicians, artists and skateboarders turned a sprawling West End warehouse complex into a punk rock hub.
Driving the news: Emory University's Rose Library on Thursday night will screen the first part of "The Wild Wild West End Oral History," Ivette Spradlin's time capsule of the DIY culture that emerged at the former Candler Warehouse in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
A Q&A will follow.
Zoom in: The interview collection is a companion piece to Spradlin's book of portraits and quotes from the people involved in the scene while the culture brewed.
Fun fact: The warehouse complex is now called The Met, which was purchased last year by North Carolina-based hospital Atrium Health.

Hysterics at How Dachshund Reacts to Being Told 'No'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A Florida-based dachshund has gained viral attention on Instagram for his over-the-top response to a simple word: "No." In a lighthearted video shared to the platform on May 4 under @moo_in_miami, the small dog named Moo was captured sitting on a couch, repeatedly whining and growling in a high-pitched, almost comical, tone after being told "no" by his unseen owner. The video, captioned "he really said, 'that's cute, try again,'" quickly ignited reactions online from pet owners who could relate to the bout of canine pushback, and has since been liked more than 1 million times. An overlaid text on the video read: "POV: [Point of view] You told your dachshund no." The dog's animated expressions and indignant vocalizations have struck a chord with viewers on Instagram, many of whom said they were left in hysterics by Moo's dramatic protest. Moo's particular reaction also highlights something deeper—and familiar—for anyone who has spent time with a dachshund: stubbornness seems to be part of the lovable breed's DNA. Bred in Germany centuries ago to hunt badgers, dachshunds were designed to be persistent and fearless. Their long bodies and short legs made them ideal for burrowing, but their real strength lies in their temperament. Dachshunds are notoriously determined and vocal, often pushing boundaries and asserting their will in surprisingly bold ways for their size. Moo's hilarious response to being told off is a textbook example of this temperament. While some dog breeds are known for obedience or calm demeanor, dachshunds have cultivated a reputation for being assertive, sometimes to the point of comedy. Owners often describe them as possessing the mindset of a much larger animal, unafraid to stand their ground—especially when they feel slighted. Commenters have shared their own dachshund tales, with one writing: "Dachshunds and the word NO do not compute." "I'm getting dachshund in 8 weeks can't wait," another viewer said, while another added: "Dachshunds will argue with you with such stubbornness until you give in because there's nothing is as stubborn in this world as a dachshund who wants something." "They run the house you know," another said. Newsweek reached out to @moo_in_miami for more information via Instagram. A stock image of a black and tan dachshund on a carpet.

Through the Lens: Nikk Martin for Paul & Shark
'I didn't grow up wanting to be a photographer,'Nikk Martinbegins telling Hypebeast. 'But at some point, I realized the camera gave me permission to slow down, to look at people more closely, to connect. And I think I've been chasing that feeling ever since.' Known for his evocative photography style, the Berlin-based visual artist boasts a rich portfolio that focuses on framing intimate moments between the camera and his subjects. Garnering widespread acclaim for his images' unique color palette, highlighted by the use of analogue photography and often arduous film developing processing, which permeates his images that occupy multiple disciplines from still life, environmental landscapes, dynamic visuals, and many more. Approaching his process with a natural flair, it's all about being in the moment and paying attention to his surroundings that helps Martin capture the perfect shot, explaining, 'Some of my best moments have come from letting go, just being present and reacting to what's really happening.' For the latest installment of theThrough the Lensvideo series, Hypebeast enlists Martin to capturePaul & Shark's RivieraSpring/Summer 2025capsule collection through his distinct visual aesthetic. Officially founded in 1976 by Paolo Dini, Paul & Shark is a family-run Italian label with a rich legacy in garment craftsmanship, production and fabric sourcing. Now spearheaded by his son, CEO Andrea Dini, who represents the third generation to carry the family business, the brand draws inspiration from the infinite allure of the ocean to find synergy between aesthetics, technical innovation, and commitment to quality. Heading to Capri, a scenic Italian island off the Gulf of Naples, where the new capsule collection takes its inspiration from, it's immediately clear that Martin is truly in his creative element. 'Water has this ability to mirror emotion. It's soft, wild, still, restless, all at once,' he says as he approaches the beach looking out into the horizon. 'And that's how I want my work to feel, too.' As he returns to land, weaving through the narrow streets of the old town, capturing candid images of the public, he explains, 'Photography still feels pure to me when it's about connection. When you're not trying to create a moment, but to witness it.' And despite photography partly being about engaging with your subject and directing their movements that fit in line with the vision, the craft is mainly about possessing the eye to achieve the most visually engaging shot, which can come at any time. 'I don't really direct, I observe, I wait, and I try to create a space where something real can happen,' Martin says. 'I feel into the light, the emotion in the room, the energy of the person in front of me. It's instinctual.' Inspired by the island's atmosphere, bustling energy, and iconic architecture, the Paul & Shark SS25 capsule collection embraces the spirit of the Mediterranean summer. As well as iconic patterns, silhouettes, and garment types reinterpreted through a contemporary lens, the refined capsule comprises sweaters, a selection of button-up shirts, and quick-dry swimwear that embrace a minimalist aesthetic which pays tribute to Capri. Boasting a complete segment that spans various shades of 'Azure' to more intense blues, the range's diverse color palette draws upon the sea's vast hues. Elsewhere, summery tones of beiges and whites, fused with touches of colour, complete the capsule's makeover. While the ocean influence is evident across its offering, it is experimentation that forms the foundation of the new range, marking the brand's renewed focus on quality. This includes masterfully weaving its Typhoon membrane – an innovative technology that incorporates both wind and waterproof qualities – on a selection of delicate fabrics such as silk, linen, and cashmere, as well as bringing forth its meticulous attention to detail to each garment.

3 Arts Entertainment Expands Into News With Acquisition of OManagement (Exclusive)
The management and production firm 3 Arts Entertainment is getting into the news business. 3 Arts is acquiring OManagement, the talent management firm founded by CAA and NBC veteran Olivia Metzger. Metzger will become partner and co-head of 3 Arts' New York office. More from The Hollywood Reporter 3 Arts Entertainment Pushes Into Sports, Acquires A&A Management Stacey Lubliner Joins 3 Arts Entertainment as Manager Lionsgate Vice Chairman Talks Being Buyer and Seller Amid Media Consolidation OManagement specializes in working with news, journalism, and personality-driven talent, with a client list that includes Today anchor Craig Melvin, Meet the Press moderator Kristen Welker, Fox News anchor Harris Faulkner and NBC News contributor Steve Kornacki, among others. The addition of OManagement comes amid a shifting landscape for news, journalism and opinion programming and content. The emergence of Substack, newsletters, audio and video podcasts and other platforms means that both journalists and opinionated hosts have more options than ever when it comes to figuring out where they ply their craft, even as traditional TV channels continue to slowly shrink. The acquisition marks a big move into news for the Lionsgate-controlled 3 Arts, which has traditionally been focused on entertainment management and production, with clients like Tina Fey and Mike Judge and shows like The Office, Four Seasons and King of the Hill. That being said, the company made a significant move into sports and athlete management earlier this week with the acquisition of A&A Management, the Ohio-based firm that represents Travis Kelce, NBA star Jonathan Kuminga and other sports related clients. 3 Arts will be able to leverage its reach and production expertise to OManagement's news talent as they explore options beyond legacy media institutions. 'At 3 Arts, we recognize that news talent and media personalities have never been more valuable than they are today,' said 3 Arts Entertainment co-CEOs Brian Weinstein and Michael Rotenberg. 'With audiences seeking out trusted individual voices, our partnership with OManagement allows us to support journalists and news professionals and personalities as they build their brands and adapt to new ways of connecting with the public. OManagement possesses unrivaled relationships with media companies and on-air talent, and as 3 Arts Entertainment expands its New York City presence, the addition of Olivia as a leader and a partner will help our combined team support cultural influencers and personalities creating impactful content.' 'The news industry is evolving, but the need for thoughtful, strategic support for storytellers and experts remains constant,' Metzger added. 'Partnering with 3 Arts allows us to offer our clients expanded opportunities across a dynamic media landscape, while preserving the close, individualized attention that has always defined both OManagement and 3 Arts. By combining our deep experience in agenting and talent development with 3 Arts' strengths in production and media strategy, we're creating a powerful alliance uniquely positioned to support storytellers and experts at every stage of their careers.'
