Warner Bros chairman and CEO, Kevin Tsujihara steps down following sexual misconduct allegations

Warner Bros chairman and CEO, Kevin Tsujihara steps down following sexual misconduct allegations

Warner Bros's chief executive, Kevin Tsujihara is leaving amid claims he tried to secure roles for an actress he allegedly had an affair with.

John Stankey, chief executive of parent company WarnerMedia, said that it was "in the best interest" of the firm that Tsujihara steps down. "Kevin acknowledges that his mistakes are inconsistent with the company's leadership expectations," Warner said.

The firm is conducting an investigation into the allegations. Earlier this month, the Hollywood
Reporter claimed an actress had sought Mr Tsujihara's help in landing roles after they had sex. The report included text messages between Mr Tsujihara and the actress.

Tsujihara's lawyer said at the time that the executive did not have a direct role in the hiring of the actress in any movie. In a letter to staff on Monday, reported by Reuters, Tsujihara did not address the matter.
"It has become clear that my continued leadership could be a distraction and an obstacle to the company's continued success. The hard work of everyone within our organisation is truly admirable, and I won't let media attention on my past detract from all the great work the team is doing" he wrote.

HOW IT STARTED.

I trained as a photographer but back in the 80s I didn’t have enough photography work to sustain me so I worked with my father who traded in cattle. My father was an old man so I joined him and I used to go to the bush to buy the animals. I was married with two sons.

That year, as the time for the Ileya Festival drew closer, we were going to supply some companies with cattle so I had to go and buy them from Niger state. He listed all the things that I was going to buy – cows, rams and goats. I left Lagos on the 30th of May, 1988 to Gwari in Niger state. I had to go inside the bush to select the animals I wanted so that I would get a trailer to convey them to Lagos.

THE ARREST.

Because of the language barrier, I needed an interpreter for the negotiations. We were in the bush when some policemen came and asked me if I was a visitor. I said yes, I was a visitor that I had been coming to the village for many years. The man said they were looking for people who ran into the bush.

I said I didn’t know anything about it that I was selecting rams there. Then they arrested me and took me to the police station even though the interpreter told them I had been coming to the village for some time.

The next day, the 1st of June, they said the case could not be handled at that station and it was transferred to the State CID at Niger. From there they transferred me to Ilorin in Kwara state. All the while, I never knew what they were accusing me of. After a week, some policemen came from Lagos, they said they were from the Anti-Terrorsist squad and they conveyed me and some people that were arrested with me to Lagos.

I was with N325,000 cash which I wanted to use to buy cows at Niger. The money followed me up to Ilorin but when we got to Lagos, I didn’t hear anything about the money again. The Police men did not give me or my family members.

James Gunn's The Suicide Squad Is a Complete Reboot


James Gunn's The Suicide Squad is going to be a full reboot. DCEU producer Peter Safran broke the news when talking about the upcoming release of Shazam! This isn't entirely a shock since Gunn is gearing up to introduce new characters that were not seen in David Ayer's original movie. Additionally, Will Smith stepped down from the project and Idris Elba is reportedly taking over the Deadshot role this time around for what is rumored to be a pretty dark version of the character from the comics.

In a new interview, DCEU producer Peter Safran revealed a pretty significant piece of news regarding James Gunn's The Suicide Squad. Though there have been some pretty good leaks about the story over the last several weeks, there is still much that we don't know about the project. With that being said, Safran says that we're going to be in for a totally new experience.

How Technology is Hijacking Your Mind

Related image

“It’s easier to fool people than to convince them that they’ve been fooled.” — Unknown.
I’m an expert on how technology hijacks our psychological vulnerabilities. That’s why I spent the last three years as a Design Ethicist at Google caring about how to design things in a way that defends a billion people’s minds from getting hijacked.

When using technology, we often focus optimistically on all the things it does for us. But I want to show you where it might do the opposite.

Where does technology exploit our minds’ weaknesses?

I learned to think this way when I was a magician. Magicians start by looking for blind spots, edges, vulnerabilities and limits of people’s perception, so they can influence what people do without them even realizing it. Once you know how to push people’s buttons, you can play them like a piano.

And this is exactly what product designers do to your mind. They play your psychological vulnerabilities (consciously and unconsciously) against you in the race to grab your attention.

I want to show you how they do it.

Hijack #1: If You Control the Menu, You Control the Choices

The 3 Keys to Becoming Irresistible



There’s a routine question asked in job interviews, first dates, table games and so on: What is the most important thing you look for in other people?

There’s variations on this format (i.e. “What’s the most attractive quality you look for in a potential partner?” Or, “What’s your greatest strength?” And so on) but, in general, the answer remains the same: The character trait you hold above all. When pressed, I’ve often stumbled and resorted to something trite and probably not true: honesty, humor, confidence, charisma, etc. Those are fine answers but they’re not in my estimation the correct ones.

And so one day I sat down on my pleather couch, brewed some holy basil tea, queued up some Anderson Paak on the Spotify and really, truly tried to whittle down the essence of what makes truly admirable, special people exactly that. I analyzed people I looked up to, people I was attracted to, and people I just couldn’t dream to be without. And I found that the answer could never be just one thing, and that many of the things I think I admire are manifestations of other, deeper things I admire more. Here are the three components that, when taken together, create a spellbinding supernova of a person — one who can command a room and control their destiny, one who can be both altruistic and intelligent. And so I give them to you and make a case for each.

I Had A Threesome And It Was Awkward AF




You can learn a lot about yourself and the world around you by making shitty choices. As much as everybody worries about fucking up… it can actually be pretty damn good for you.

Betting on the wrong pony, throwing caution to the wind--I don’t want to minimize the reality that some bad choices can, um, kill you.

But the ones that don’t can help you grow.

For someone who’s had a lot of sadness in her life, it might seem strange that I don’t have many regrets. I’d like to think that’s because I tend to learn something relevant from most of my "mistakes."

Honestly, a threesome isn’t an inherently bad choice. Yours could be, if it led to something like… murder. I once watched an episode of Forensic Files where that’s exactly what happened. To call that ménage à trois a bad idea is an understatement.
