[Video] Magic For Humans | Justin Willman Makes This Guy Think He's Invisible | Netflix

 #InvisibleMan #Magic #JustinWillman #MagicForHumans “When I was a kid I put a tooth under my pillow, went to sleep, and in the morning there was money there. That tangible evidence was more than enough proof to make me believe in the tooth fairy. To find out how far I could take that premise, I set up a large flash-mob style social experiment all to convince one guy he had turned invisible.” - Justin Willman.

Transgender TV Anchor Challenges Pakistani Culture From A News Desk | NBC Out (Video)

#MarviaMalik #PakistaniCulture #Transgender Abandoned by her family and stigmatized by society, trans journalist Marvia Malik breaks barriers and challenges discrimination as Pakistan’s first transgender news anchor. Marvia Malik was a model and is now also a television news anchor. She told BBC News that she was so excited when she got the anchor job that she had to stop herself from screaming. Malik studied journalism in school and said she cried when she got the news about her new role. Many Pakistani transgender people aren’t treated as equals and, like Malik, are sometimes pushed out of or disowned by their families. The Senate in Pakistan voted in favor of a bill earlier this month that, if passed into law, would protect transgender people and allow them to decide their own gender rather than requiring a medical examination. The bill would eliminate the examination process and also mean companies could no longer discriminate against trans people, Times of India re...

Grindr turns 10: How a decade with GPS 'dating' apps changed us all

#Grindr  #JoelSimkhai  #LGBTQ #App  What Uber did for cars, so Grindr did for hooking up. A decade after its release, NBC Out reflects on the impact Grindr has had on the gay and bi community. On the day he launched Grindr — exactly 10 years ago this Monday — founder Joel Simkhai said the only phone call he received was from the competitor, Manhunt, with a buyout offer of “$20,000 or $35,000.” Simkhai declined. But after actor and comedian Stephen Fry demoed Grindr live on the British TV show “Top Gear” a few months later in June 2009, everything changed. Simkhai said there were 10,000 downloads overnight and it “felt like every gay man knew about it.” “It’s basically a gay cruising application,” Fry told “Top Gear” host James May. “Get this, when you load it,” Fry said, “up appear all kinds of faces and pictures. And what’s so amusing is, you press them and it goes like, ‘Hi, I’m Mike,’ and it tells you how close they are — it says 20 yards away.” Now, a...

Little, the upcoming comedy movie directed by Tina Gordon [Trailer]

#ReginaHall #IssaRae #MarsaiMartin #JustinHartley #ToneBell #RachelDratch #Little Girls Trip's Regina Hall and Black-ish's Marsai Martin both star as Jordan Sanders - Hall as the take-no-prisoners tech mogul adult version of Jordan and Martin as the 13-year-old version of her who wakes up in her adult self's penthouse just before a do-or-die presentation.  Insecure's Issa Rae plays Jordan's long-suffering assistant April, the only one in on the secret that her daily tormentor is now trapped in an awkward tween body just as everything is on the line. Little is an irreverent new comedy about the price of success, the power of sisterhood and having a second chance to grow up - and glow up - right.
