Vivian Jenna Wilson, the 20-year-old estranged daughter of Elon Musk, has publicly distanced herself from her father and his social media platform, X, opting instead for rival platforms like Meta's Threads and Bluesky. Following her legal name change in 2022, Wilson expressed her desire to sever ties with Musk, asserting her financial independence from him. In a recent interview with Teen Vogue, she criticized Musk's portrayal of her, particularly after he deadnamed her in a public discussion, calling his comments "entirely fake." Wilson has embraced her role as a prominent figure on Threads, branding herself the "Queen of Threads," while sharing her views on social media's influence and the importance of verifying information. Though she doesn't identify as a political activist, she advocates for trans rights, especially concerning minors' access to gender-affirming care, and critiques the lack of charisma among right-wing social media influencers. 
Published: Mar 23 2025, 1 pmeznews.inA 12-hour meeting between Russian and US officials aimed at establishing a partial ceasefire in Ukraine concluded in Riyadh, with a joint statement anticipated on Tuesday. The discussions, which followed earlier talks between Ukrainian negotiators and the US team, centered on a ceasefire in the Black Sea region. President Donald Trump has been advocating for a swift resolution to the three-year conflict, while a missile attack in Sumy, Ukraine, left nearly 90 people injured, highlighting the ongoing violence. Despite hopes for progress, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov cautioned that negotiations are just beginning, and Russia has previously rejected a proposed 30-day ceasefire. The talks also revisited the Black Sea Initiative, crucial for grain exports, which Russia exited earlier this year. Meanwhile, UK and French defense chiefs convened to strategize on safeguarding any potential ceasefire agreement.
Published: Mar 25 2025, 10 ameznews.inIn the Amazon Prime reality show _Beast Games_, contestant Jeff Allen, a former salesman facing financial struggles, triumphed by winning a record-breaking $10 million prize. The competition, filmed in locations like Las Vegas and Toronto, featured intense challenges, with many contestants opting for cash offers to leave.

Since his victory, Allen has focused on advocacy, recently completing an 18-day, 365-mile trek across California to raise over $140,000 for the Association for Creatine Deficiencies. He aims to raise $40 million to support research and clinical trials for CTD. Allen's financial advisor has helped him manage his winnings, including setting up a special needs trust for his son, while he plans to donate more to charity in the future.
Published: Mar 25 2025, 10 ameznews.inA woman from Jiangxi province, China, named Lingling, is fighting for justice after a botched breast augmentation left her severely disabled. She spent approximately Rs 2.8 crore (2.4 million yuan) on implants that were later found to contain DNA from cattle and moose. The procedure, marketed as innovative by a Beijing clinic, promised a safe and self-derived enhancement but led to significant pain and complications for Lingling, who underwent nine corrective surgeries over six years. By 2023, she discovered her implants were leaking and deformed, prompting her to have them removed in Shanghai, where foreign materials causing her health issues were identified. Lingling's attempts to seek compensation have been thwarted as both the clinic and the beauty salon have closed, with the clinic facing numerous malpractice disputes and its head surgeon operating without registration. She has reported her case to the Beijing Municipal Health Commission, but her path to justice remains obstructed.
Published: Mar 25 2025, 10 ameznews.inAuthorities in Colorado have charged 47-year-old Jessica Hoff with criminal negligence resulting in death and 54 counts of aggravated animal cruelty following the death of her mother, LaVonne Hoff, who had dementia. The charges stem from a tragic incident on February 3, when deputies found the 76-year-old unresponsive, having been mauled by dogs inside her home, where multiple dogs were roaming freely. Investigators revealed that Jessica Hoff had left her mother alone while she ran errands, leading to the fatal attack. An autopsy confirmed the cause of death as a dog attack. Following the incident, authorities discovered a total of 54 dogs and seven birds in unsanitary conditions at Jessica Hoff's properties, with many animals in poor health. She is currently in custody and is set to appear in court on Thursday, though no attorney has been listed to represent her.
Published: Mar 25 2025, 11 ameznews.inOil prices remained stable on Tuesday as investors assessed the implications of new US tariffs on countries importing oil and gas from Venezuela, juxtaposed with potential impacts on global economic growth and oil demand due to tariffs on sectors like automobiles. Brent crude futures edged up by 1 cent to $73.01 a barrel, while US West Texas Intermediate crude also rose by 1 cent to $69.12. Following President Trump's announcement of a 25% tariff on Venezuelan oil imports, both benchmarks had gained over 1% on Monday. Analysts express concerns that Trump's tariffs could dampen economic activity and oil demand, although tighter US sanctions on Venezuelan and Iranian oil may restrict supply. Meanwhile, OPEC+ is expected to continue its plan to boost oil output in May, and diplomatic talks aimed at resolving the Ukraine conflict could influence Russian crude supply to global markets.
Published: Mar 25 2025, 9 ameznews.inA new study has revealed that certain birds in the Galapagos, specifically yellow warblers, exhibit aggressive behavior in response to traffic noise, which disrupts their warning calls. Conducted by researchers from Anglia Ruskin University and the Konrad Lorenz Research Centre, the study involved playing bird songs alongside recorded traffic noise at various locations on Floreana and Santa Cruz islands. Findings indicated that warblers near roads displayed increased aggression when exposed to the noise, while those further away showed reduced aggression. Dr. Caglar Akcay, a senior lecturer in Behavioral Ecology at ARU, noted that interference from traffic noise forces birds to escalate physical confrontations, as their communication is compromised. Additionally, the birds modified their song frequencies to be heard above the din of traffic. The research underscores the need for conservation strategies that address noise pollution's impact on wildlife adaptability.
Published: Mar 25 2025, 9 ameznews.inCanada's security agency, CSIS, has raised concerns about potential interference in its forthcoming general election by both India and China. At a press conference on Monday, Vanessa Lloyd, deputy director of operations at CSIS, warned that "hostile state actors" are increasingly using artificial intelligence to disrupt the electoral process. She specifically noted that China is likely to employ AI tools and social media to promote favorable narratives and target Chinese communities in Canada. Furthermore, Lloyd indicated that India has the intent and capability to influence Canadian communities to enhance its geopolitical standing. Relations between Canada and both nations have deteriorated recently, particularly after allegations from former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau regarding India's involvement in the killing of Khalistani separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar. Meanwhile, tensions with China have escalated following Beijing's imposition of tariffs on Canadian goods in retaliation for previous trade measures.

Published: Mar 25 2025, 8 ameznews.inUS President Donald Trump expressed astonishment at learning that sensitive military plans for strikes in Yemen were inadvertently leaked to The Atlantic's editor-in-chief, Jeffrey Goldberg, after he was mistakenly added to a private Signal group chat. During a press conference, Trump claimed he was unaware of the situation and dismissed The Atlantic as a magazine "going out of business," while acknowledging the effectiveness of the planned attack on Houthi rebels. The leaked messages reportedly detailed operational specifics, including targets and weaponry, and were confirmed as authentic by the National Security Council. Notably, Vice President JD Vance voiced concerns over the Yemen strategy, arguing that the US should not rush into action and highlighting the European stakes in the conflict. He suggested delaying the strikes to better communicate their necessity and assess economic implications, although he ultimately supported his colleagues' consensus on proceeding with the plan.

The renewed military actions follow failed negotiations to extend a ceasefire. Currently, 58 hostages remain in captivity, with 34 confirmed dead according to the Israeli military, out of the 251 taken during the initial assault.
