And you thought Vito Andolini in “The Godfather Part II” had it rough. When this little Sicilian kid arrives at Ellis Island, all they do to him is change his name to Corleone and quarantine him for a few weeks. In “The Far Country,” the new play by Lloyd Suh that opened Monday at the Atlantic Theater Company, the young Chinese immigrant Moon Gyet arrives at Angel Island in San Francisco Bay and is kept there for 17 months while he is repeatedly interrogated about his birth.

The island immigration station was the process point where approximately 1 million immigrants, primarily from Asia, where once detained, inspected and questioned. A similar immigration station on Ellis Island processed approximately 12 million immigrants. Those arriving at Angel Island had a tougher time of it due to the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, and the interrogation process could be not only intense but

Piper may not always have much to say in “Darby and the Dead,” but when she does speak, she makes her one-liners count. And, as it turns out, one of those quips was going to be a super meta reference to Auli’I Cravalho, thanks to Nicole Maines.

In the film, now streaming on Hulu, Piper (Maines) is one of the friends/minions of Capri Donahue (Cravalho).

Throwing people off guard with the naming of her Spice Girls bandmate, Halliwell, Mel B mentioned that while she cares deeply about Halliwell, she finds her to be “really f—ing annoying.”

“I think you always have to be nice to the people that you work with whether it be production, camera guys, sound, lighting,” said Mel B. without sharing any other details.

Elon Musk said he met with Tim Cook at Apple’s headquarters and “resolved the misunderstanding” over Twitter’s potential removal from the app store.

“Thanks @tim_cook for taking me around Apple’s beautiful HQ,” Musk tweeted Wednesday afternoon before later writing, “Good conversation. Among other things, we resolved the misunderstanding about Twitter potentially being removed from the App Store. Tim was clear that Apple never considered doing so.”

The meeting came just two days after Musk claimed that Apple had “threatened” to pull Twitter from its iOS app store.

“Apple has also threatened to withhold Twitter from its App Store, but won’t tell us why,” the Tesla CEO wrote Monday, also claiming that “Apple has mostly stopped advertising on Twitter.”

“Do they hate free speech in America?” Musk continued. “What’s going on here @tim_cook?”
