Louis Tomlinson and Zayn Malik have a whole lot of “ History .” During an appearance on the “Zach Sang Show” on Wednesday, Tomlinson revealed he and his former One Direction bandmate haven’t made up since their falling out nearly 7 years ago. When asked if he was still friends with the “Pillowtalk” singer, Tomlinson said, “You’d have to ask him.” “I could be wrong, but I believe I said, when you asked me a similar question [last time] … I believe I said I don’t think I’m mature enough to get over what’s frustrated me in that relationship,” the 30-year-old continued. “I don’t know if I’m mature enough now, but I’m definitely closer to being over all that.” Malik left One Direction in 2015, which started the demise of the band. Getty Images Back in 2015, the pair got into a heated argument on Twitter after Malik left One Direction. Although Tomlinson claims he has “tried to get in touch” with Malik, the pair have seemingly not spoken since the very public spat — even though i

After filing a complaint against Nintendo of America and recruitment firm Aston Carter earlier this year which alleged "concerted activities" and "coercive actions", the former contractor who filed that complaint with the NLRB has come forward, revealing their identity and offering further details and an account of their dismissal. As reported by Axios in an exclusive interview, former playtester Mackenzie Clifton was fired from their contract role at the company in February this year. Nintendo said that they were "terminated for the disclosure of confidential information", according to a statement given to Axios' Stephen Totilo. According to Clifton, supervisors showed them a tweet they had posted with the following text as evidence: "in today’s build someone somewhere must have deleted every other texture in the game bc everything is now red. Just like, pure red. it’s very silly." Image: Nintendo of America Clifton believes th

Kanye West said changed his Instagram avatar to a photo of Kris Jenner out of “peace and respect.” The Yeezy fashion designer made the swap Wednesday and clarified the decision wasn’t stemming from a feud. “I posted Kris with thoughts of peace and respect lets [sic] change the narrative,” he wrote on his Instagram Stories. Currently, the avatar is the exact same photo that Jenner, 66, is using for her account. The seemingly friendly message was published mere weeks after West, 45, went on a social media rant against Jenner and the Kardashians, including his estranged wife Kim Kardashian. In one post, which since has been deleted , the artist railed against the famed momager for allowing Kylie Jenner and Kim to pose for Playboy . "I posted Kris with thoughts of peace and respect lets [sic] change the narrative," he wrote. kanyewest/Twitter "I posted Kris with thoughts of peace and respect lets [sic] change the narrative," he wrote. kanyewest/Insta

Samsung is currently testing the third One UI 5.0 beta version on the Galaxy S22 series. However, Verizon claims on its website that it has already released the stable Android 13 update to the Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22+ , and the Galaxy S22 Ultra . The carrier even published the complete One UI 5.0 changelog and screenshots of some of the new features. But has it actually released the update? Well, a Redditor was able to download the update with firmware version S90xUSQS2AVI1 , as mentioned on Verizon’s website. However, it’s not Android 13 -based One UI 5.0 , as claimed by Verizon. The changelog on the carrier’s website also mentions the October 2022 security patch , which Samsung released earlier today. We know that Samsung is currently testing Android 13 on its high-end phones and is yet to release a stable build. So, it is possible that Verizon has published the wrong changelog by mistake. This also points towards a possibility of an earlier-than-usual release of the next major
