Ric Flair's social media misstep draws fury from wrestling community
Image via WWE Wrestling icon Ric Flair is facing intense backlash after a series of controversial tweets, including a dig at fellow Hall of Famer Jim Ross, who recently underwent surgery for colon cancer, and a now-deleted post parodying sexual consent. Wrestling legend sparks fury with dig at Jim Ross Flair, 76, shocked fans over the weekend by suggesting that Jim Ross was "seeking attention" following his recent cancer surgery. The post was quickly deleted but not before screenshots went viral, sparking widespread condemnation from fans and wrestling personalities alike. — FadeAwayMedia (@FadeAwayMedia) Ross, who updated followers earlier in the week about his recovery, received overwhelming support from the wrestling community - except from Flair. The two have had a tense relationship in recent years, particularly after Ross appeared in the "Plane Ride from Hell" episode of Dark Side of the Ring, which revived past misconduct allegations involving Flair. Flair later said Ross had "lost all credibility" with him, despite their long-standing friendship in the industry. Controversial post drags up Ric Flair's troubled past Just hours after the Ross tweet, Flair posted what he called The Woooo Compromise - a mock consent form referencing 'Space Mountain,' a long-standing euphemism he uses in reference to his romantic escapades. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Paco: Scholarships You Can Apply For (Start Now) College Scholarship | Google Search Search Now Undo The post was also deleted shortly after going live. The joke, which touched on themes of consent and sexual relations, was widely criticized for being inappropriate and insensitive, especially in light of Flair's past controversies. Fans viewed the post as distasteful and out of touch. In response to the uproar, Flair shared a follow-up post that remains on his profile: 'If You Can't Take A Joke From A 76 Year Old Man, Then You Are Living Life Too Seriously. It Was All Harmless, Lighthearted Fun! Just Trying To Make People Laugh & Smile!' However, fans were not convinced. Replies poured in, with many accusing Flair of minimizing serious issues. 'Grow up and take some responsibility for something' one user wrote, while another questioned why a 'legend' would risk his reputation with such remarks. Flair, a 16-time world champion and one of the most recognizable names in wrestling, has not issued a formal apology. For many fans, the incident reopens uncomfortable conversations about accountability, generational divides, and whether some stars have overstayed their welcome in the digital age. Whether the Nature Boy clarifies further or remains silent, the fallout from this episode appears far from over.

I Asked ChatGPT To Explain What's Going On With Tesla Stock Like I'm 12 — Here's What It Said
Stock trading can be confusing even to someone with a bit of knowledge, and mine is moderate. One thing I've noticed, however, is that Tesla stock has been bouncing around like kids on a trampoline. Find Out: Read Next: With headlines crowing that stock is either soaring or tanking, I thought I'd ask ChatGPT to step in and explain what's going on with Tesla stock — like I'm 12. (Frankly some 12-year-olds probably have a better idea, thanks to TikTok). Here's what the generative AI told me after it ran an internet search. ChatGPT urged me to think of Tesla's stock as a roller coaster with its 'ups and downs.' When Tesla's stock was low at the beginning of the year, 'the ride was a bit rough,' it wrote. Tesla's stock price went down faster than Space Mountain at Disneyland, without the fun, because fewer people were buying its cars, and some new models didn't sell as well as expected. The Cybertruck's recalls, lack of popularity and rough internet memes probably didn't help, either, ChatGPT mused. Also, other car companies, especially from China, 'were making cool electric cars that people liked,' which did nothing to improve Tesla's stock because it meant steep competition. Learn More: Tesla's stock started climbing with the enthusiasm of the first half of the Guardians of the Galaxy roller coaster at Epcot. Why? ChatGPT said investors got excited about Tesla's plans to launch self-driving robotaxis in Austin, Texas. People thought 'it could be a big deal for the future of transportation,' it wrote. It didn't hurt that the U.S. and China 'eased some trade tensions,' good news for companies like Tesla that make a lot of their car parts in both countries. Even though Tesla stock has had more ups and downs than the Incredicoaster at Disney's California Adventure, ChatGPT said, 'they're now focusing on new and exciting projects.' This has made investors feel more confident, and the stock price has climbed again as a result. I wasn't satisfied with this information, so I asked ChatGPT what these ups and downs mean for the average investor. It told me, 'Let's say you (or your parents) own one share of Tesla stock. That means you own a tiny piece of the company. When Tesla does well and people want to buy more of those pieces, the value of your piece goes up — cool, right?' Right, I said to myself. When Tesla struggles, as it has been doing, 'people get nervous and might sell their shares,' ChatGPT warned. When people do that, it drops the value of your share, too. 'So, if you check your account and see it's worth less than before, that's why. It's kind of like a toy that goes out of style — fewer people want it, so it's not worth as much.' If you own Tesla stock and are wondering what to do, ChatGPT summed it up in a series of easy-to-understand bullet points: Don't panic if the price drops. It reassured me that 'stocks go up and down all the time.' Nothing to worry about. Think long term. It suggested that if you have any faith in Tesla, it's a good idea 'to hold onto your share and wait.' Spread out your money. However, it warned, 'Smart investors don't put all their eggs in one basket.' So if you're only invested in Tesla, spread the stock love around. If you're an average investor, Tesla's ups and downs are part of the ride and nothing to worry about, ChatGPT said. 'If you believe in what the company's building, you might stay on the roller coaster — even when it gets a little wild.'

Don't miss out on the chance to watch archive Channel 9 coverage of these beloved parks, showcasing their history and highlights. Also stay tuned for all the latest updates as we get closer to this thrilling new addition to the world of theme park. Founded by Owen Godwin near Orlando, Gatorland is a wildlife preserve known for hundreds of alligators and crocodiles. Visitors enjoy live shows, gator wrestling, and zip lines throughout the park. This classic Florida attraction is focused on native wildlife conservation. Cypress Gardens, opened by Dick Pope Sr. in Winter Haven, was Florida's first commercial theme park, famous for botanical gardens and water ski shows. Legoland Florida replaced it in 2011, offering Lego-themed rides and family attractions for kids 2-12. Located in Bay Lake and Lake Buena Vista, created by Walt Disney's company, Magic Kingdom is the first park at Walt Disney World Resort. The park was inspired by Disneyland's design, with themed lands like Main Street, U.S.A., Adventureland, and Fantasyland. Magic Kingdom is known for Cinderella Castle, iconic rides like Space Mountain, and a spectacular fireworks show. George Millay and partners founded SeaWorld as a rehabilitation program to help injured or orphaned animals. The park features marine life exhibits, animal shows, and thrill rides. It also aims to educate guests about ocean conservation through interactive experiences. Circus World in Haines City opened in February 1974. The park was sold several times and finally closed in May of 1986. It was remodeled and reopened as Boardwalk and Baseball in 1987, but closed due to low attendance in 1990. EPCOT opened in October 1982, celebrating technology and culture. The park features Future World's innovations and World Showcase's 11 country pavilions, which offer authentic food and entertainment. EPCOT is dedicated to celebrating human achievement, technological innovation, and international culture. One of Disney's water parks, Typhoon Lagoon, opened in 1989 and features a giant wave pool and themed slides. The theme park story involves a storm wrecking a tropical paradise. Originally Disney-MGM Studios, it spotlighted movie-making magic. It was the third of four parks built at Walt Disney World. The park hosts lands like Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge and Toy Story Land. Themed as a ski resort melting in Florida heat, Blizzard Beach opened in April 1995 as the third water park. Its theme is the 'Disney legend' of a freak snowstorm in the area, and it becomes Florida's first ski resort. Universal Studios opened on June 7, 1990. It was the first of three theme parks to open at Universal Orlando Resort. The park was created to bring Hollywood movies to life. Universal Studios Florida offers rides based on films like Jaws, Transformers, and The Mummy, plus live shows and immersive experiences. The park operates annual events such as Halloween Horror Nights, where the park transitions to a Halloween theme featuring haunted houses and scare zones on select nights. Disney's Animal Kingdom opened on Earth Day, April 22, 1998, and was the fourth theme park built at the Walt Disney Resort. The park is dedicated and themed around the environment and animal conservation. The theme park features Kilimanjaro Safaris, Expedition Everest, and Pandora – The World of Avatar with groundbreaking attractions. Universal Studios Islands of Adventure, along with CityWalk, opened on May 28, 1999, as part of a significant expansion that turned Universal Studios Florida into Universal Orlando Resort. Islands of Adventure is designed around the concept of exploration, with each section of the park representing a different themed island, such as the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. SeaWorld Aquatica opened on March 1, 2008, and is themed to the southern Pacific and features Australian and New Zealand-based animal mascots. Some rides feature passing through animal attractions. Universal Volcano Bay Water Theme Park is a tropical-themed water park. It replaced Wet' n Wild as Universal Orlando's only water park and the third theme park overall.

Is that Donald Trump with Mickey Mouse? Disneyland figure sparks 'outrage'
Whether it's about placing his golden statue in the AI-imagined 'Riviera of the Middle East', or sharing yet another AI-generated photo of himself in the papal outfit ahead of the papal conclave – Trump simply loves to see himself reigning everywhere! Why would Disneyland be any different? Donald at Disneyland? At Disneyland this week, a striking golden sculpture of Walt Disney has captured the attention of visitors, sparking conversations due to its unexpected resemblance to a more familiar figure. As the beloved Anaheim, California, theme park commences its grand 70th-anniversary celebration, a vibrant and intricately designed sculpture of Sleeping Beauty Castle has been unveiled in the bustling main esplanade. This distinctive installation, created as a unique photo opportunity, showcases a charmingly petite version of the iconic castle, adorned with colorful turrets. Each turret is topped with imaginative silhouettes and flags that pay homage to the various themed lands within the park. For example, the turret representing Frontierland features a whimsical steamboat, while Fantasyland boasts a graceful carousel horse. Tomorrowland is represented by the well-known Space Mountain silhouette, among others. However, what drew the attention of the onlookers was the silhouette of a man holding Mickey Mouse's hand. The golden silhouette: At the pinnacle of this artistic creation lies a miniature rendition of the famous "Partners" statue. Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Tukarkan Bitcoin dan Ethereum - Tanpa Dompet Diperlukan! IC Markets MULAI SEKARANG Undo But what's wrong with it? Park visitors quickly began to note an uncanny resemblance between the depiction of the man's silhouette with President Donald Trump , particularly due to the statue's hairstyle that closely mimics Trump's characteristic voluminous swoop. As soon as the parkgoers pointed this out, and one popular Instagram creator, with the user ID @disneyscoopguy, shared a post about it – the internet went into a frenzy, thinking the Prez might have really had his figure installed! However, in all truth, the silhouette in the installation isn't Donald Trump, but it is Walt Disney himself, depicting himself, hand-in-hand with Mickey Mouse, gazing out towards the horizon as if envisioning the magic ahead. The 'outrage': In the past few days, some guests, including @disneyscoopguy, observed that the peculiar spire had seemingly vanished overnight, sparking speculation about Disneyland's responsiveness to public opinion. In a video documenting this development, he expressed, 'It seems Disneyland has been attentively monitoring social media reactions, as they promptly removed one of the spire toppers.' He further elaborated that many felt the figure bore a striking resemblance to Trump rather than the intended likeness of Walt Disney, noting that the finger gesture was altered as well, depicting a single finger point instead of the classic two. Though Disneyland was initially silent in response to requests for comment, within a short period, guests reported the return of the spire topper, albeit with subtle modifications. In a follow-up video, @disneyscoopguy showcased what appeared to be a less voluminous hairstyle on the figure, now aligning more closely with Walt's authentic appearance in the original "Partners" statue. It remains uncertain whether alterations were made to the figure's hand gestures. The creator then shared his updated thoughts, stating, "The Disneyland 70th anniversary esplanade photo op looks absolutely incredible! And they fixed Walt Disney!" For the unversed, Disneyland's 70th-anniversary festivities officially launched on Friday, May 16, and promise to delight guests with new parades, mesmerizing nighttime spectaculars, vibrant decorations, exclusive merchandise, and an abundance of enchanting experiences that will last through the summer of 2026. The park first opened its doors to visitors on July 17, 1955, forever changing the landscape of theme parks and family entertainment.
