Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan has been detained at U.S. airports 3 times in the last 7 years.

On Thursday, Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan was detained at Los Angeles International Airport — a common experience for Muslims who dare ask a flight attendant for a soda or read a book about Syrian art.

Khan knew the drill: it marked his third time being detained at an airport in the last seven years, according to the Guardian.

The Guardian reported that Khan was first detained in 2009 at Newark Airport for over two hours by U.S. immigration officials. But even after the backlash from fans and fellow actors over the wrongful detention, Khan was taken into custody again in 2012, again in New York.

Khan, though, had a sense of humor about the most recent incident — tweeting out a joke about Pokémon.

I was on the Nickelodeon Animation Podcast  a while back, and now that episode is up for you to blast full volume from your cars with the windows rolled down so people know how cool you are. 

Sara Ahmed just became the first Egyptian woman to stand on an Olympic podium.

Sara Ahmed, an 18-year-old Egyptian weightlifter, won bronze in her 69-kilogram division, to become the first Arab woman to be presented with an Olympic medal in weightlifting. She’s also the first Egyptian woman to win a medal in the 2016 Rio Olympics, according to the Khaleej Times.

Ahmed hopes her achievement will inspire Egyptian girls and women to take up weightlifting. "I hope it will encourage other girls to take up the sport,“ Ahmed said to the Khaleej Times. “A new weightlifting generation can be born, a new beginning.”

Interestingly, she’s the first Egyptian woman to stand on the podium but not the first to win a weightlifting medal. 

The Daily Beast is facing well-deserved pushback after publishing a grossly irresponsible, unethical story yesterday in which a straight, married journalist named Nico Hines sought out men in the Olympic Village via Grindr. Then, he wrote about his experience and all the men he found. 

Some of the men he encountered are from countries where it’s still dangerous to be LGBT, and while he didn’t use their names, he provided enough information about each that you could easily figure out who they were. When the article blew up online, the Daily Beast first removed the identifying details, but it took them hours before they took down the whole story. 

Here’s their full apology note, which was also half-assed and didn’t say much about how they’ll fix the irreparable harm they’ve caused:

Today, The Daily Beast took an unprecedented but necessary step: We are removing an article from our site, “The Other Olympic Sport In Rio: Swiping.”

The Daily Beast does not do this lightly. As shared in our editor’s note earlier today, we initially thought swift removal of any identifying characteristics and better clarification of our intent was the adequate way to address this. Our initial reaction was that the entire removal of the piece was not necessary. We were wrong. We’re sorry. And we apologize to the athletes who may have been inadvertently compromised by our story.

Today we did not uphold a deep set of The Daily Beast’s values. These values—which include standing up to bullies and bigots, and specifically being a proudly, steadfastly supportive voice for LGBT people all over the world—are core to our commitment to journalism and to our commitment to serving our readers.

As a newsroom, we succeed together and we fail together, and this was a failure on The Daily Beast as a whole, not a single individual. The article was not intended to do harm or degrade members of the LGBT community, but intent doesn’t matter, impact does. Our hope is that removing an article that is in conflict with both our values and what we aspire to as journalists will demonstrate how seriously we take our error.

We were wrong. We will do better.

This is one of the most flagrant misuses of journalistic power I’ve ever seen. 

This may very well have ruined people’s lives, all for the sake of gay-sex-shaming and one dumbass straight man pointing his finger at guys on Grindr and laughing at them. This is why it’s crucial to have LGBT people in newsrooms (and all workplaces): because this article presumably had to go through several people before it was published, and yet nobody thought to consider how it might harm people who come from countries where they could face literal legal, political ramifications for being gay. (Or how it would harm anybody, for that matter! Because nobody deserves to be outed even if it is safe in their country!) I mean, really? Did this provide any value to the reader? Did this story contribute to the field of journalism or the coverage of the Olympics?
