American Airlines Deletes First Class on International Trips
Flying overseas in business-class or better is one of those things — like getting the Good Seats at the game — that, once you’ve done it, it’s hard to go back to coach or the bleachers. Some luxuries, you will convince yourself, are worth paying for. According to The Wall Street Journal, one such option — first-class seats on international American Airlines flights — is soon going away. American says this decision was made, in part, to add more business-class seats, which these days, are more or less what the old first-class was anyway.
American had previously said as much last month, though WSJ reports that on an earnings call on Thursday, an American executive said plainly that the airline is making the change for the simple reason that first-class isn’t selling as well as the other good seats on the plane.
“And frankly, by removing [first-class seats], we can provide more business-class seats, which is what our customers most want or are most willing to pay for,” [said Chief Commercial Officer Vasu Raj.]
[…]
…the airline will outfit its long-haul fleet with new “Flagship Suites,” which include seats that lie flat and sliding doors for privacy, in a revamp that will increase premium seating on those planes by more than 45% by 2026.
The new suites will be included on newly delivered Boeing 787-9 planes and Airbus A321 XLRs starting in 2024. American will also retrofit its Boeing 777-300ER planes to include the new suites.
The sliding door thing seems a little unnecessary, but then again people get real weird on planes, especially on long-haul trips, and some people value their privacy more than I do. More importantly, this says that many of the business-class seats lie flat, which is the real game-changer, as deplaning overseas after hours of fitful, garbage sleep in an upright chair as opposed to restful, continuous sleep lying flat makes a night-and-day difference.
This seems, in any case, mostly an exercise in branding, as “first-class” just sounds more expensive than “business-class,” which, as the WSJ notes, has most of the same benefits anyway. Is either of them worth it for you, a poor dirtbag? That is a personal decision, though I prefer to save my nickels for my destination, and arrive in London or wherever stiff as a board, having flown coach. The times I have flown first- or business-class were paid for by someone else, which was nice of them. On one such flight, I even sat next to the actress Rooney Mara once. I’m sure she was doing something a lot cooler in France than driving a dumb luxury SUV.
Instagram Restricts Kanye West’s Account, Deletes Content – The Hollywood Reporter
Kanye “Ye” West’s Instagram account has been restricted for violating the platform’s policies, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.
A Meta spokesperson confirms to THR that the company deleted content from the rapper’s Instagram account that uses the @kanyewest handle. Additionally, although the account is still visible, a restriction has been placed on it, according to the rep. Meta has a policy of putting restrictions on users after repeated violations, which could temporarily prevent the user from sharing posts, writing comments or sending direct messages.
The Meta rep did not specify which content was pulled or how long the restriction would last.
On Friday, the performer returned to Twitter after a lengthy hiatus, where he criticized Meta chair Mark Zuckerberg and tweeted, in part, “How you gone kick me off instagram.” Elon Musk, who this week confirmed plans to buy Twitter, responded to West’s tweet by posting, “Welcome back to Twitter, my friend!”
This follows West having recently posted to Instragram an exchange purportedly between himself and Diddy in which West used language criticized by other social media users as anti-Semitic. The post has since been deleted.
West also received backlash for comments he made about Jared Kushner during the rapper’s recent appearance on Fox News’ Tucker Carlson Tonight that were perceived as perpetuating Jewish stereotypes.
Advocacy group American Jewish Committee took to Instagram on Friday to condemn West for “rants laden with racist and antisemitic undertones” and “anti-Jewish posts.”
This is not the first time that the star has been under fire for his social media presence. In March, his Instagram account was suspended for 24 hours after he posted a slur targeting The Daily Show host Trevor Noah.
In February, West apologized for since-deleted Instagram posts that shared messages between himself and estranged wife Kim Kardashian about her then-boyfriend Pete Davidson. West wrote at the time that “sharing screen shots was jarring and came off as harassing Kim.”
PnB Rock’s Younger Brother Posts & Deletes Update, Says Family Is Having Trouble Getting His Body Home
PnB Meen promised his late brother that he’ll take care of his daughters in the same post.
PnB Rock’s death took an unexpected toll on the music industry earlier this week after the 30-year-old was shot, robbed, and killed while grabbing lunch at a Los Angeles restaurant on Monday (September 12). In the days since, we’ve seen tributes pour in from not only friends and family, but fans of the “Selfish” hitmaker as well, expressing their devastation at the talented artist being taken so soon.
The late recording artist’s little brother, PnB Meen is among those who shared in the public mourning, penning a heartbreaking message on his own Instagram feed that reads, “I don’t [know] how to begin. Ima let it go… You was the only one who believed I can do what you do. I can’t stop crying bro, why [you] ain’t have me with you?”

“I always have ya back [and] front [and] sides… Please give me the strength to do this,” he continued. “With all my soul ima carry. Stand on business, [and] get you right [while you’re] resting my brother. This is my first message to you of many.”
On Saturday (September 17), Meen provided an update on Rock’s family (though it was deleted shortly after), revealing that they’ve been having some issues trying to get their loved one’s body back home from California.
“We been having trouble getting my brother back to Philadelphia,” he wrote in the caption of his upload. “The state of Los Angeles claiming they have some type of law, going against our as Muslims. Now I have no clue when his Janazah.”
Meen described the situation as “not right” and noted that “it’s going on a week” since his older sibling was fatally shot.
“Prayers up,” he ended the post. “I got you big bro, [and] ya daughters.”
RIP PnB Rock.
Striking Distance Studios’ CEO posts, then deletes, a tweet thought by some to promote crunch culture
Striking Distance Studios’ founder Glen Schofield has deleted a tweet deemed by some to have promoted “crunch” culture in games development.
In a tweet posted earlier today, Schofield – whose team is currently working on the upcoming sci-fi horror, The Callisto Protocol – talked about working 12-15 hours a day, six-seven days a week, and working over lunch and dinner, justifying it by saying “you do it because you love it”.
“I only talk about the game during an event,” Schofield said in the since deleted tweet. “We [are] working six-seven days a week, nobody’s forcing us.
“Exhausted, tired, covid, but we’re working,” he continues. “Bugs, glitches, perf fixes. One last pass through audio. 12-15 hour days. This is gaming. Hard work. Lunch, dinner working. You do it cause ya luv it.”
Journalist Jason Schrierer took a screenshot of the tweet ahead of its deletion, adding:
Such a weird coincidence how the guy bragging about how his team works 6-7 days a week for 12-15 hours a day because they love it also happens to be the guy who controls all their salaries, titles, and current employment status
— Jason Schreier (@jasonschreier) September 3, 2022
“This, from a studio head, is crunch culture defined. Of course nobody is ‘forced’ to work insane hours. But imagine the reduced bonuses and lack of promotion opportunities if you don’t? ‘You do it because you love it’. Weaponized passion. This is why people burn out of gaming.
“Such a weird coincidence how the guy bragging about how his team works 6-7 days a week for 12-15 hours a day because they love it also happens to be the guy who controls all their salaries, titles, and current employment status,” he added in a later tweet.
In related news, David Cage recently responded to allegations of unhealthy studio culture and inappropriate behaviour at Quantic Dream, which he previously described as a “smear campaign”.
“I don’t think we had an aggressive attitude,” he said. “When you’re accused of things that go against everything you believe in, everything you’ve done in your life, it hurts. It went beyond just attacking the studio culture.

TikTok deletes account of Andrew Tate
His fans have called him the king of toxic masculinity.
Tate’s content has rapidly spread across social media this summer, racking up millions of views and raising concerns about the impact on boys and young men who come across it. After seeing his popularity spike in recent months, he has bragged about his reach.
Now, Tate has been barred from TikTok, Facebook and Instagram.
In a statement to The Washington Post, a TikTok representative said Tate’s account was removed for violating the company’s policies that bar “content that attacks, threatens, incites violence against, or otherwise dehumanizes an individual or a group” based on attributes including sex. Meta said it had removed Tate’s official accounts on Facebook and Instagram, pointing to policies against dangerous organizations and individuals.
Tate, a 35-year-old American-born, British-raised resident of Romania who ran an online “education and coaching” program called Hustler’s University, did not immediately respond to a request for comment Sunday.
Other social media influencers — along with several organizations that support survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence — had called for him to be booted off social media platforms. Hope Not Hate, a Britain-based group that launched a petition calling for Tate to be deplatformed, described him as dangerous.
“The effect that Tate’s brand of vitriolic misogyny can have on the young male audience is deeply concerning,” Hope Not Hate said. “His content is widely celebrated by his fans for having brought back ‘traditional masculinity.’ However, we also know that misogyny can be a gateway to other extreme and discriminatory views.”
The group noted Daily Beast reporting that Tate’s home in Romania was raided in April as part of a human-trafficking investigation. No arrests have been made and Tate has denied wrongdoing.
Tate first gained notoriety in 2016, when he was kicked off the reality TV show “Big Brother,” the BBC reported, after a video surfaced that appeared to show him hitting a woman. The pair later claimed that his actions were consensual. In 2017, he sparked an online furor after posting on Twitter that women should take personal responsibility and protect themselves against sexual assault.
In the thread, posted in reaction to the sexual assault claims against Harvey Weinstein, he wrote, “If you put yourself in a position to be raped, you must [bear] some responsibility. I’m not saying it’s OK you got raped.” Twitter permanently suspended his account as a result, NBC News reported.
Tate initially had a following among far-right circles on social media, NBC News reported. He dined in 2019 with Infowars editor Paul Joseph Watson and “Pizzagate” conspiracy-theory propagator Jack Posobiec; Mike Cernovich, another proprietor of conspiracy theories, has called him a friend. He made several appearances on Infowars.
But it is in recent months that Tate has gone mainstream, as videos and podcast interviews featuring him took off on social media and he climbed in Google searches. By August, he had more than 4 million Instagram followers; videos tagged with his name had reportedly been viewed 12.7 billon times.
His sudden ubiquity did not happen organically, the Guardian reported. Paying members of Hustler’s University were directed to bombard social media platforms with his videos, selecting the most controversial to boost engagement in what experts described to the news outlet as manipulation of the algorithm. Among videos that gained traction was one in which he advised his followers to “slap, slap, grab, choke” women in the bedroom and another in which he said he dates 18- and 19-year-olds because it’s easier to leave an “imprint” on them.
Many of the videos that have drawn viewers on TikTok appear to have been posted by Tate’s followers. A TikTok spokesperson told The Post, “Our investigation into this content is ongoing, and we continue to remove violative accounts and videos that promote misogyny and other hateful behavior.”
Responding to criticism over his comments, Tate said in an interview with NBC News that he plays an “online character” and coaches men “to avoid toxic people as a whole.”
“It has nothing to do [with] hate for women,” he told the outlet.
Yet Tate’s influence caused enough alarm that an Instagram account aimed at classroom teachers created a guide for addressing his views with students. Groups aimed at helping domestic violence survivors argued that allowing his comments to remain on social media platforms normalized misogyny and violence.
Zainab Gulamali, policy and public affairs manager at Women’s Aid in Britain, told the Daily Mail, “Making derogatory comments and videos about abusing women is as dangerous as it is unacceptable: This normalizes the misogynistic and sexist attitudes which are at the root of all violence against women and girls.”
“Sexist actions and language that reinforce women’s inequality have been tolerated for too long,” she added. “It is vital that we all challenge these deep-rooted misogynistic attitudes, which normalize women being emotionally abused, belittled and controlled, as well as physically harmed.”
