Ms. Marvel Co-Creator Calls Pressure of Disney+ Series "Intense"

Disney+ swept social media a few days ago with an update on its biggest projects, and Ms. Marvel showed up in a big way. The heroine is slated to bring her own TV series to life in 2022, so you can imagine how hyped fans were to check on Kamala Khan. Of course, the character's creators were just as anxious, and one of them has admitted to fans that the pressure of it all is like nothing else.

The comment came over on Twitter from Sana Amanat, one of Kamala's co-creators. The comic book editor, who has worked on everything from Spider-Man to Captain Marvel, is known best for their work with Kamala. And after a new look of Ms. Marvel was shared last week, Amanat had something to say.

"Been working hard with an incredible team to bring this show to life. The pressure and responsibility we all feel is intense. The love we have is immense. Praying we can make you all proud," she wrote.

Of course, it isn't hard to understand where this pressure is coming from. Ms. Marvel is one of the biggest solo series to come from Marvel Comics in the last decade. Kamala not only broke barriers as a Pakistani-American superhero, but her lively personality and powers made her a hit with fans. Ms. Marvel also brought in a slew of young female readers to the Marvel Universe amidst its debut, and there is no doubt the TV series will nab that demographic's attention next year.

Manson follower Van Houten recommended for parole for fifth time

A California parole board Tuesday recommended the release of convicted murderer Leslie Van Houten, who had been a follower of late cult leader Charles Manson.

It's the fifth time since 2016 that the 72-year-old was recommended for parole, the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation said in a statement.

The previous recommendations were rejected by former Gov. Jerry Brown and current Gov. Gavin Newsom.

Van Houten is serving a life sentence for her role in two consecutive days of violence carried out by the Manson cult’s followers in August 1969.

She was convicted of two counts of first-degree murder for the fatal stabbings of Leno and Rosemary LaBianca, and of conspiracy to commit murder in the deaths of Sharon Tate, Abigail Folger, Wojciech Frykowski, Steven Parent, and Jay Sebring.

Police: Teens driven by racial hatred targeted BLM leader

LOS ANGELES – Authorities say three teenagers driven by racial hatred were behind hoax calls that brought major police responses to the home of a leading Black Lives Matter activist in Los Angeles.

The teenagers, aged 13 to 16, connected over the Discord chat platform and are suspects in more than 30 bomb threats and so-called “swatting” incidents across the country, according to the Los Angeles Police Department. Swatting refers to a phony emergency call made to attract police to a particular address without cause.

They are accused of perpetrating two fake swatting calls — one this past September and another in August 2021 — at the LA home of Melina Abdullah, co-founder of BLM-LA and a Cal State Los Angeles professor.
Police did not identify Abdullah by name as a victim of the teens, but listed her block as the location of two of the swatting incidents.

Los Angeles police said Friday that the teens were behind hoaxes dating back to July 2020 that targeted “other online persons, video gamers, activists, schools, airports, houses of worship, entertainment venues and memorial parks.”
