Mark Zuckerberg Weighs in on Facebook Live’s Role in the Philando Castile Shooting Video

We had hardly begun to process the news of Alton Sterling’s death, which had everyone from Beyoncé and Drake to a, well, tone-deaf Mischa Barton sharing their thoughts and condolences, when tragedy struck yet again, this time in Falcon Heights, Minnesota. Philando Castile was pulled over for a broken taillight stop… which resulted in the 32-year-old being shot four times by the police officer, who said that he believed Castile to be reaching for a gun he had disclosed that he was carrying.

While the incident is not the first (or even the hundredth) controversial police death our nation has faced in recent months, it was unique in the fact that the after math was streamed for the world to see — live — by the victim’s girlfriend Diamond Reynolds in a Facebook Live video that both shocked and outraged its viewers.

Consequently, this video has opened up a debate in the tech industry and beyond, with many weighing in on whether events like this should be broadcast uncensored. Some feel that the platform is opening up a potentially problematic can of worms with the option to readily share violent, graphic content, while others see it as a “social 911.”

Despite the company’s largely broad policy regarding graphically violent content (the guidelines state that while Facebook recognizes the value of graphic content when related to public concern, it will remove “graphic images when they are shared for sadistic pleasure or to celebrate or glorify violence”), Facebook itself seemed morally torn on the issue at hand: The video of Philando’s shooting was removed for an hour or so before it was reposted, along with a graphic content warning.

Now the company’s CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, is offering up his own thoughts on the issue. In a post to his own page, Mark writes the following:

Wow — some powerful words, indeed. While the site’s system certainly isn’t perfect, it IS nice to know that its users views and opinions are being heard and taken into account by the prime stakeholder.

Commenters, for one, certainly seemed impressed, with one user writing, “…your Facebook platform is not just changing the entertainment world, but it’s dramatically improving peoples’ sense of themselves and their relationship to power. Mark, you’ve done good, kid. Thank you for giving the marginalized a voice. It was a seriously history altering day, thanks to Facebook.”

Any Hunger Games fan will agree that one of the best parts about Catching Fire is that it offers a whole new look at Haymitch Abernathy's character. The mentor (played by Woody Harrelson in the film franchise) won the 2nd Quarter Quell, and the brief mention of his Games totally captured fans' attention, leading to fan art, fanfiction, and even some viral short films. Well, we're finally getting the full story thanks to a brand new Haymitch Hunger Games book, just in time for spring 2025!

Here's everything we know about Sunrise On The Reaping, coming March 2025.

Who's narrating the audiobook?

Cam McLeod/Paramount

It was confirmed on February 3 that Yellowstone actor Jefferson White will narrate the Sunrise on the Reaping audiobook.

“It's an honor to be a small part of a world I’ve loved for so long — Suzanne Collins is a genius and it's equal parts exhilarating and terrifying to be back in Panem," he told People.

Amazon

The Sunrise on the Reaping cover was unveiled the morning of October 16 and it's just as beautiful as we hoped! It continues the tradition from the other books of a bold background color with gold and white accents, and I'll admit I was surprised when I first saw the snake and the mockingjay. The snake is obviously a nod to President Snow, and we know that both Lucy Gray Baird and Katniss Everdeen are two songbirds the President was never able to shake. Will Haymitch Abernathy become one as well?

In the original books, Haymitch starts out as an angry man with no friends or family who always has a drink in his hand, but by the end of Mockingjay, he's a wise, caring father figure for Katniss — and I'm betting Sunrise on the Reaping will show us plenty of those character traits as he has to make his way through the Hunger Games.

One detail on the cover that concerns me is the fact the snake and the songbird are connected, and that a sun sits between them. David Levithan, Scholastic's vice president, publisher, and editorial director told TODAY that just like the other covers, this one features "one of the central themes of the series: how conflicting forces can be connected by their common nature, the songbird and the snake springing from the same source."

When is Sunrise on the Reaping coming out?

Lionsgate

Sunrise on the Reaping will hit stores on March 18, 2025.

What is the Sunrise on the Reaping going to be about?

Scholastic/Instagram

The new Hunger Games book is called Sunrise on the Reaping. According to the official announcement, the story will take place 24 years before The Hunger Games, starting on the morning of the 50th Games' reaping. While fans had hoped the story would chronicle Haymitch's victory, it wasn't confirmed until October 16. Read the full synopsis below:

"As the day dawns on the 50th annual Hunger Games, fear grips the districts of Panem. This year, in honor of the Quarter Quell, twice as many tributes will be taken from their homes. Back in District 12, Haymitch Abernathy is trying not to think too hard about his chances. All he cares about is making it through the day and being with the girl he loves. When Haymitch’s name is called, he can feel all his dreams break. He’s torn from his family and his love, shuttled to the Capitol with the three other District 12 tributes: a young friend who’s nearly a sister to him, a compulsive oddsmaker, and the most stuck-up girl in town. As the Games begin, Haymitch understands he’s been set up to fail. But there’s something in him that wants to fight ... and have that fight reverberate far beyond the deadly arena."

Can you preorder Sunrise on the Reaping?

Murray Close/Lionsgate

Yes, you can pre-order the book now!

What happened in Haymitch's Hunger Games?

Lionsgate

As a Quarter Quell, the 50th Hunger Games had a twist. Just like the 75th Hunger Games pulled the tributes from the existing victors, the 50th required double the tributes, meaning Haymitch (who was 16 years old at the time) was one of 48 tributes, not 24.

The arena was a breathtaking landscape with a forest, snow-capped mountains, and beautiful flowers. But Haymitch quickly realized the beauty was a trap, and that everything in the arena was poisonous. He was able to outsmart the rest of the competitors, but after he used the forcefield against the other remaining tribute to secure his victory (a move that offended the Capitol), President Snow retaliated by killing his family and his girlfriend.

Is Sunrise on the Reaping about Haymitch?

Murray Close/Lionsgate

Yes, Sunrise on the Reaping is about Haymitch Abernathy and his win during the 50th Hunger Games.

Babe wake up, Knives Out 3 is officially on its way! It's been almost two years since we saw Benoit Blanc solve his second case in Netflix's Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery. The film (which stars Janelle Monae, Madelyn Cline, and Kathryn Hahn) followed a case of secret identities, intrigue, and also received an Oscar nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay, NBD. On May 24, 2024 Netflix confirmed that Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery is coming, and on June 10, they confirmed filming began outside London!

Here's everything you need to know about Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery, including a first look at the characters.

Your first official look at Josh O'Connor in 'Knives Out 3'

John Wilson/Netflix

All I've been able to think about since the first set pictures leaked (see below) is "move over Fleabag Hot Priest!" Our first official look at Josh O'Connor (whose character name we still don't know) and Daniel Craig's Benoit Blanc features the duo inside a cathedral with a seriously gloomy atmosphere. I'm willing to bet this is the middle of Benoit's investigation — and I'm hoping Josh is there every step of the way. Who knows; maybe that black jacket will be the new Chris Evans white sweater.

Our first look at Josh O'Connor on the set of Knives Out 3 totally confirmed my personal hope and theory the movie would be set around a graveyard, and it's also the second time Josh has played a priest. He starred in 2020's Emma as Mr. Elton!

Your first look at Benoit Blanc in 'Knives Out 3'

Netflix

Benoit Blanc is debuting a brand new look in the new Knives Out movie. The black and white filter goes perfectly with the Wake Up Dead Man title, and is also reminding me a bit of Frankenstein.

What is the movie Wake Up Dead Man about?

Lionsgate

Daniel Craig narrates the official Instagram announcement, saying, "In the beginning, the knives came out. Then, behold, the glass was shattered. But my most dangerous case yet is about to be revealed." The title Wake Up Dead Man definitely sounds scary, so I wouldn't be surprised if the story took place around a graveyard.

I'm expecting it to be extra spooky after actor Josh Brolin (who you'll recognize from Dune and as the voice of Thanos) told New York City Comic Con that the story "scared" him.

"I read it and I was just like, 'God, this is so well written. We just don't read things like this anymore,'" he said during the panel (via People). "It turned out that it was a cast, a lot of people who I had worked with, a lot of people who I loved and hadn't met yet, like Andrew Scott and Josh O'Connor, and people like that...Then doing it turned out, I mean, still one of my favorite jobs that I've ever had."

"I can't say what I played," he continued. "It scared me, which I wanted to be scared."

Is there going to be a Knives Out 3?

Image via Netflix

Yes, we're getting a Knives Out 3! Netflix bought the rights to at least two more Knives Out movies following the success of the first film in the fall of 2019. And on May 24, the official Instagram account confirmed the third movie, Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery, will be hitting our screens soon. The movie will feature Benoit Blanc's "most dangerous case yet."

When is Knives Out 3 coming out?

Netflix

Knives Out 3 is coming in 2025. While we don't have a specific release date yet, the title and graphics for Wake Up Dead Man is definitely giving spooky Halloween vibes. Hopefully we can add it to our list of our Favorite Halloween Movies!

Will Wake Up Dead Man be on Netflix?

Yes, Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery will be available to stream on Netflix.

Who's in the cast of Knives Out 3?

Our first Knives Out 3 cast members are here! In addition to Daniel Craig, we'll see Challengers' Josh O’Connor and Priscilla's Cailee Spaeny. Glenn Close, Josh Brolin, Mila Kunis, Jeremy Renner, Kerry Washington, Andrew Scott, Daryl McCormack, and Thomas Haden Church are also in the cast of Wake Up Dead Man.

Considering the franchise has Madelyn Cline, Chris Evans, Janelle Monae, and Ana de Armas, I knew Netflix wouldn't disappoint!

Is Knives Out 1 connected to Knives Out 2?

Lionsgate

Knives Out 2 is a standalone sequel to the first Knives Out movie. So Daniel Craig's Benoit Blanc helps with each case, even if the rest of the characters don't know each other. I'm expecting Knives Out 3 to follow that same format.

Western baby names are riding high in 2025 as many parents pay homage to the history, spirit, and rustic charm of the Old West — and as many parents keep binging Yellowstone, 1923, and Landman. ;) With a growing appreciation for strong, adventurous, and timeless names that connote perseverance and grit, this trend is gaining serious traction.

However, classic choices like Dolly or Walker aren't just seeing a comeback. Moms and dads are also drawing inspiration from the Old West for a more modern twist. Here are eight Western-themed baby names that are roping up parents-to-be in 2025.

These are the western baby names people can't get enough of for 2025!

1. Lainey

Tatiana Syrikova

Inspired by rising country music star Lainey Wilson, this name carries a Southern charm that's warm and inviting.

It means "shining" and "bright," making it the perfect selection for a little girl with a bold personality.

2. Sierra

Foden Nguyen

Nothing captures the rugged beauty of the Wild West quite like its towering mountain ranges, and Sierra is a name that totally embodies that spirit.

Referencing the Sierra Nevada mountains, this name means "jagged" and can reflect both strength and natural beauty. It's great for parents who want a name that feels adventurous yet effortlessly elegant.

3. Belle

Subin Cherian

A more classic girl's name option is Belle, which in French means "pretty" and "beautiful." It's graceful in its simplicity but also carries a fierce history.

Belle Starr was a legendary outlaw in the Wild West who came to be known as "The Bandit Queen." So, whether you're inspired by this name's vintage appeal or rebellious roots, it blends strength with sweetness.

4. Addilyn

Selin Hacıkerimoğlu

Parents seeking a modern option for their baby girl might like the name Addilyn, which is a fresh take on the name Adeline.

Addilyn means "noble one" and has almost a melodic ring to it. This name is well-suited for a little girl who's determined with a free spirit.

5. Maverick

Luis Zambrano

Moving onto boy's names, few capture the rebellious essence of the Wild West quite like Maverick.

It actually means "an independent man who avoids conformity," so it's perfect for a young boy who's ready to forge his own path. Maverick simultaneously exudes confidence, adventure, and a touch of rugged charm.

6. Jackson

George Chambers

This name brings to mind Jackson, Wyoming, a stunning city surrounded by mountains and wide-open landscapes. It also means "son of Jack," so if you want to honor a relative named Jack without using junior, it's an excellent solution.

Plus, for fans of Grey's Anatomy, it carries an extra dose of charm thanks to the charismatic Dr. Jackson Avery.

7. Cash

juliane Monari

Johnny Cash was a country music legend who embraced a wide range of genres, from blues and rock to folk.

Paying homage to the star, the name Cash has roots dating back to the eighteenth century and carries an ageless edge. It connotes individuality and strength.

8. Wyatt

HIGHER VIBRATION

Last but not least is Wyatt, a rough-and-tumble name that's synonymous with cowboys and legendary Western men.

Popularized by figures like Wyatt Earp, a frontiersman and lawman, this name means "brave in war" and is a wonderful fit for a courageous little boy who craves adventure.

Alec Baldwin and Hilaria Baldwin talked to PEOPLE this week to give us a peak inside their upcoming reality show, life as a family of nine, and potentially having...more kids?! While the couple chatted about their adorable, large family, Hilaria opened up about how their household could grow in the future — and how that would ultimately impact her. From what Alec actually said about how many kids he wants to how Hilaria responded, here's what went down.

Scroll to see what what Hilaria Baldwin and Alec Baldwin said about having more kids!

Now, let's just address the elephant in the room — Alec and Hilaria Baldwin have SEVEN kids already — a pretty sizable family, if you ask us. However, Hilaria told PEOPLE, "He's always asking me for more kids."

After Hilaria said that, Alec quipped back to the reporter, "Don't judge me." However, the 30 Rock actor elaborated further, saying, "I don't really want one." He explained that what really happens is, "every now and then, when the baby gets older and grows up to be about 2, I look at [Hilaria] and I go, 'Time to have another.'"

And Hilaria doesn't disagree completely, but she's also not fully on board either. She said, "They're so cute, but my body's really tired." Amen, sister!

How many kids do Alec Baldwin and Hilaria Baldwin have?
