Mac Miller’s Balloonerism Set for 2025 Release

Mac Miller’s Balloonerism Set for 2025 Release
Nov 22 2024 Share

According to Mac Miller’s estate, the late rapper’s posthumous album Balloonerism will be released by Warner on January 17, 2025. An official trailer has confirmed the revelation, which was previously hinted at during the California Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival.

Miller’s fans have been speculating about Balloonerism for years. The project is thought to have been recorded between 2013 and 2015, along with his albums GO:OD AM, Delusional Thomas, Faces, and Watching Movies With the Sound Off.

Miller’s family revealed in a statement how important the album was to him. Malcolm always emphasised how crucial it was to free Balloonerism. They claimed that it demonstrates the range of his musical abilities and artistic bravery. The project was neglected in favour of other releases, despite its importance.

Although bootleg versions of the record have been around for a while, the official release respects Miller’s vision. The announcement comes after Circles, his first posthumous album, which was released in 2020 as a follow-up to his 2018 album Swimming, was a success.

Miller, whose real name was Malcolm McCormick, died of an unintentional overdose in 2018. Another look at the talent that made a lasting impression on the music industry may be found in Balloonerism.

Katy Perry Wins Trademark Against Australian Designer Katie Perry

Katy Perry Wins Trademark Against Australian Designer Katie Perry
Nov 22 2024 Share

Katy Perry has successfully appealed a trademark decision regarding her name, after being sued by Australian designer Katie Taylor, who sells clothes under her birth name, Katie Perry.

On Friday, three appeal judges overturned a 2023 court ruling that favoured Taylor, who had challenged the use of Perry’s name on merchandise sold during her 2014 tour of Australia.

The judges determined that Perry had been using her name as a trademark for five years before Taylor launched her business, noting Perry’s established “international reputation” in entertainment by that time.

As a result, the judges canceled Taylor’s trademark registration. Taylor, comparing the case to “David and Goliath,” expressed her concerns over the decision.

The judges acknowledged the unfortunate situation, noting that both women had worked hard to build their businesses without knowledge of the other’s existence.

The judge who previously sided with Taylor had referenced one of Perry’s songs in her ruling, calling it “a tale of two women, two teenage dreams, and one name.”

MCAST Students Organize Picnic On The Road Protest

Nov 22 2024 Share

The Malta Union of Teachers (MUT) started a teacher strike on October 4, 2024, and students at the Malta College for Arts, Science, and Technology (MCAST) are complaining about it. Due to the strike’s serious disruption of academic progress, many students are unsure of their futures.

Delays in confirming assignment briefs, withholding grades, and limited staff-management contact are among the main complaints. The difficulties presented by the union’s directives have put students in a state of uncertainty, with some contemplating dropping out.

The “Tuna Edukazzjoni” movement was started by students in reaction, calling for the restoration of communication, the abolition of administrative passes that compromise real performance, and validated assignment briefs.

A picnic road protest is scheduled for Wednesday, November 27 at 11:45 AM outside MCAST Mosta (Lidl Road) in an attempt to raise awareness of their issues. Given how important instructors are to their academic careers, students call for immediate government support and involvement.

The ad emphasises the growing belief among students that education is essential to their future and that the situation must be resolved right away. Their message is unmistakable: value education, respect students, and assist educators.

Prime Minister Robert Abela inaugurated the Achille Ferris Primary School in Msida, a school that has been rebuilt as a carbon-neutral facility.

The new school combines a beautifully designed educational environment with the original aesthetic of its façade and state-of-the-art interior facilities.

The new 10,000-square-meter school was built with an investment of €24 million, partially funded by Malta’s Recovery and Resilience Plan through the European Union. Sustainability features prominently in the design, including solar panels and temperature regulation in classrooms.

The school comprises approximately 40 classrooms, including specialised ones for subjects like personal and social development, art, music, science, literacy, and ethics. It also includes a public library, a hall, recreational spaces for community use after school hours, and facilities for the Msida Sea Scouts.

Beneath the school, there is a two-level car park.

During his visit, Prime Minister Abela described the investment as an example of the government’s commitment to quality in the education sector.

“Today, we inaugurate a carbon-neutral school because this represents both the present and the future,” he remarked, emphasising the need for quality-driven investments across the country. He also praised educators as key drivers of children’s development, highlighting improved pay and conditions resulting from Malta’s economic strength.

Education Minister Clifton Grima emphasised the event as a celebration of the students’ future and the educators’ dedication.
