A few days ago, the creative director of Death Stranding took to Twitter to upload a very short video, which in true Kojima fashion, is quite cryptic. The clip shows him turning on a HAL-9000 type machine, which then utters the famous 2001: A Space Odyssey line, “I’m sorry Dave. I’m afraid I can’t do that.” When the camera is pulled out, viewers will see what looks like a calendar that features a woman....
Posting to Twitter a few days ago, Marianne Hayden of Naughty Dog is seen on a motion capture set, not only alongside actor and stuntman Mark Musashi, but also sporting a The Last of Us 2 t-shirt. There is not much else that can be gleamed from the image, but Hayden does say that it’s “nice to be back on the stage!” which suggests that the studio is hard at work on its next project, whatever that may be....
So when the Oscar-winning Les Misérables star’s name was falsely tied to such behavior in a tweet that went viral over the weekend, it’s understandable that a large number of the reactions were of shock and bemusement. The shenanigans started when one Twitter user shared an image of Hathaway, 39, posing in the pages of Elle France’s latest issue on June 25, racking up more than 22,000 retweets and 405,000 likes on the micro-blogging platform....

Nolasco was 8-3 with a 3.52 earned run average in 16 appearances with the Dodgers. He began the season with the Miami Marlins....
Re-create Dallas as it was on Nov. 22, 1963. Prune trees so they are the same height they were that day. Send an identical open limousine into the tight turn onto Elm Street, headed for the triple underpass. Roll the cameras on an event that stunned America and seared its heart. Follow the script: Then the SHOTS: A volley sounding like a motorcycle backfire. A GLIMPSE of a MUZZLE FLASH… smoke....
The move makes a lot of sense for gamers interested in brushing up their technique with various decks, or seeing how more prominent gamers fight with a particular hero. Similarly, it means gamers who only wish to watch top-notch Hearthstone players now have a filter to weed out other streams that may have been popular, but centered on lower-ranked play. Twitch had previously introduced this feature for League of Legends, where players can already sort by Champion....
The Twitch Safety Advisory Council consists of a few broadcasters from the Twitch community as well as some outside individuals as well.

HasanAbi, whose real name is Hasan Piker, began streaming on Twitch during March 2018, simultaneously employed at The Young Turks. Following various controversies and a shift in perspective, Piker progressed from traditional media ventures to streaming full-time, citing the absence of leftist voices across YouTube and Twitch as a motive for his decision. Since then, Hasan has amassed a significant audience, averaging approximately 30,000 viewers every stream, with a dedicated fanbase who will watch him ruthlessly criticize the Democratic and Republican parties and revel in how much Subnautica terrifies him....
Musk’s commitment to free speech on Twitter is not only admirable, but necessary. For far too long, leftist ideology has dominated the social media landscape. Conservatives are regularly censored, while liberals and repressive foreign regimes can spew hate and falsehoods without any fear of repercussions. The 40 organizations that signed the letter simply do not speak for the majority of Americans, or for the consumers of the businesses to which the letter was sent....

The impending Basketball Hall of Famer, representing the Pistons at the 2021 NBA Draft lottery, became instant meme material when it was announced Detroit had won the right to the top overall pick of the draft and, presumably, Oklahoma State prospect Cade Cunningham: MORE: NBA Draft lottery live results General manager Troy Weaver had this to say when asked why Wallace was selected to represent Detroit in the lottery:...
The tournament saw a lot of pressure being mounted on Argentine ace Lionel Messi, with hopes of him single-handedly taking the team to victory. The exit saw the sacking of coach Jorge Sampaoli who has since been replaced by interim boss Lionel Scaloni. After the World Cup, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner told the FA that he would like to be excused from playing for the national team for the rest of this year....
And the Turin club saw their winning streak ended after losing to the English side. As expected, Cristiano Ronaldo was in the thick of things for the majority of the game, and he was on hand to open the scoring in the 65th minute. After a dull first-half, the Portuguese powered home a volley in the second half after benefitting from a long-range pass from Leonardo Bonucci. It was Ronaldo’s first goal in this season’s Champions League, having drawn blanks in his previous outings....
The result further dents Liverpool’s title-winning hopes, as Manchester City established a 1-0 win over Bournemouth on Saturday to sit one point clear at the top of the table. Despite finding a comparatively easy opponent in Fulham, Liverpool still have to face third-placed Tottenham Hotspur in what will be a decisive clash at the end of March. After the game, Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp gave an all-too-familiar reason to justify his side’s failure to secure three points....
According to Bloomberg, Twitter’s own internal studies have shown that many users don’t fully understand its privacy features, so they post less often. Twitter’s privacy team wants to make those users feel more confident in speaking up. As of now, the tweet archiving feature would be a way for you to decide if you want your tweet to stick around before you tweet it. If you’d rather it be temporary, you’d be able to pick from a small variety of time settings (30, 60, or 90 days)....
Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter has already seen several major changes hit the social media platform in the wake of the move. Several members of Twitter’s top brass including CEO Parag Agrawal, CFO Ned Segal, and several others were subsequently fired by Musk following the purchase, looking to clean house in Twitter’s ranks. Musk has already agreed with a fan idea to create “PvP elements” on Twitter, where Verified users could openly beef with one another....

Bayern will also have the option to buy the Colombian midfielder if Carlo Ancelotti is impressed with his contributions. Having signed him when he was at the Bernabeu, it is a reunion for the Italian boss and Rodriguez who has not played as much as he would have liked under Zinedine Zidane. The deal came as somewhat of a shock since James was linked to various other clubs such as Manchester United, Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain....
Speaking to reporters after delivering a speech at the annual Greek Economic Summit in Athens, Greece on Tuesday, Pyatt said that while the U.S. had not seen the text of the agreement, “we certainly see such a move as detracting from the situation of stability that the United States has sought to encourage.” Already, tensions between Greece and Turkey have been on the rise over Turkey’s decision to move forward with drilling operations despite a longstanding dispute over claims to gas and oil reserves off of Cyprus....
