Why is pop culture so obsessed with nuns?
  + stars: | 2024-04-12 | by ( Leah Dolan | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +5 min
These vestal get-ups are, in fact, the latest in a long line of subversive pop culture interpretations of the lives (and loves) of nuns. More recently, Bella Hadid walked the Coperni Fall-Winter 2022 runway wearing headgear reminiscent of a nun’s habit. The “Nunsploitation” subgenre saw the transformation of nuns from icons of piety and sacrifice into harbingers of evil and sexual obsession. In lighter fare, “Sister Act 3,” a third movie in the beloved “Sister Act” series of the 1990s starring Whoopi Goldberg is currently in development. “The juxtaposition of the nun’s habit with either blatant sexuality or the cultivation of personal identity and style is shocking and grabs people’s attention,” wrote Dr. Neal.

Twitter staff also took to watching a social-media account that tracks Musk's planes, according to a new book about the company. Musk's jet travels made Sweeney's jet-tracking account @Elonjet more active than ever. Musk also reached out directly to Sweeney about the jet-tracking account.

The college student also posts flight data associated with other celebrities, including Taylor Swift and Mark Zuckerberg.

AdvertisementTaylor Swift has threatened to take legal action against the college student who tracks her private jet and manages social-media accounts that publish its flights. Sweeney told BI that he appreciates Swift's music and has no intention of harming those he tracks. Advertisement"I think the people are interested," Sweeney told BI over text. Swift has faced backlash for her private jet travel, even topping a list of celebrities whose private planes emitted the most carbon in 2022. Swift's spokesperson previously told BI the singer had purchased carbon credits to offset her jet use.

And Sweeney continues to tweet under a personal account, using it to announce the move of ElonJets to Threads. The first Threads post on the elonmusksjet account was one announcing that ElonJet had landed on Threads, followed by one asking Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg if the account could stay. But the elonmusksjet account was temporarily blocked, according to a posting on Sweeney’s personal Threads account, which included a screenshot of message he received from Threads telling him the elonmusksjet account was active once again following a requested review. “Sometimes we need to take action to help keep our community safe.”Since then the Threads account has tracked one Musk flight, from Austin to Brownsville, Texas three days ago. Sweeney also operates a separate Threads account called zuckerbergjet, but it has yet to track any flights since it went live on Threads at the same time elonmusksjet did.

Seattle teenager Akash Shendure runs Climate Jets, a website that tracks emissions of private jets. Using Sweeney's Ground Control Registration Database — which was developed to famously track Elon Musk's private jet — Shendure identifies and compiles carbon emissions from the private jets of more than 150 wealthy Americans and their families. Shendure is the latest to publicly keep tabs on the expenditure of private jets, following on the heels of Sweeney, now 20, who recently launched his own public-jet tracking database. Sweeney began tracking Musk's private jet in 2020 and created the Twitter account @ElonJet to share his findings, gaining thousands of followers and even job offers. "I don't mean any harm and that's never the intended purpose of the accounts," Sweeney told Insider in December 2022.
Twitter on Thursday suspended accounts belonging to several journalists who cover Elon Musk. As of Friday evening, accounts belonging to several journalists had been reinstated. A day prior, the company had suspended accounts run by college student Jack Sweeney — including one that tracked Musk's private jet — and announced new privacy rules. Musk conducted a Twitter poll Thursday asking his followers when he should "Unsuspend accounts who doxxed my exact location in real-time," with the options being "Now" or "In 7 days." At the time of publication, accounts belonging to O'Sullivan, Rupar, Mac, Harwell, and Webster had all been reinstated.
