How Icarly S Cliffhanger Ending Was Inspired By Fyre Festival

The season finale of the reboot saw the gang attend Webicon. However, things did not quite go according to plan - from the convention’s accommodation to the ceremony itself. In conversation with Newsweek, iCarly showrunner and executive producer Ali Schouten revealed the writer’s room took inspiration from the failed 2017 Fyre Festival for the iCarly season finale. She said: “It’s called iReturn to Webicon and there are things, even before they get into the mess that for Carly are not quite the same as it was back then and we were very inspired by the Fyre Festival scandal....

Given all the evidence from a year ago, I suppose it’s understandable that I didn’t foresee how the “Matrix” would wind up: a splendid beginning followed by an equally disastrous end. But I should’ve seen it coming. Because in spite of everything I heard and saw during that week in California, there was one tiny thing that didn’t sound right.

How A Juneteenth National Holiday Went From Pipe Dream To Reality

The House overwhelmingly voted to make Juneteenth, or June 19, a federal holiday on Wednesday, a day after the Senate approved the bill by unanimous consent. President Joe Biden is expected to sign the Juneteenth National Independence Day Act into law at 3.30 p.m. ET on Thursday. Juneteenth, a portmanteau of June and 19th, commemorates June 19, 1865, when Union soldiers brought the news of freedom to enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas—two months after the end of the Civil War and over two years after the Emancipation Proclamation freed slaves in the Southern states....

How A Controversial Late Game Penalty On Browns Helped Ravens Avoid Another Collapse

On Sunday, it was one division rival helping another division rival out. The Ravens were on the brink of blowing another late-game lead, but they got a little help from their friend(s) — both the Browns, and the refs. On a 55-yard field-goal attempt with time ticking down in the fourth quarter, referees whistled the play dead, throwing a flag for a false start on the Browns offensive line. The kick turned from a 55-yarder to a 60-yarder, and the Ravens would block the kick....
