“Should I step down as head of Twitter? I will abide by the results of this poll,” Musk tweeted on Sunday. Some 57.5 percent of the 17.5 million votes said that he should step down, while 42.5 percent said he should not, in what were billed as final results. After buying the social media site in October for $44 billion, Musk’s leadership of Twitter has been mired in controversy....
One such token, $STOPELON, is currently worth $0.000015 with a market capitalization of around $8 million, though this is likely to change quickly. Another, $F***ELON, is worth around $1.67 with a market cap of just under $150,000. Musk, the billionaire CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, is thought to be influential over the price of some cryptocurrency tokens. Dogecoin, the meme token that was launched as a joke in 2013, made headlines this year partly buoyed by Musk’s support....
In an interview with the Financial Times, published Thursday, Putin declared that Russia had “no problem with LGBT persons.” A day later, John took to social media to call out Putin’s comments as hypocritical. In a statement shared to Twitter, the 72-year-old musician condemned the Russian leader for allowing distributors in his country to censor LGBT-scenes in Rocketman. “Dear President Putin, I was deeply upset when I read your recent interview in The Financial Times,” John wrote....
Lynch announced Tuesday that San Francisco had signed free-agent Elvis Dumervill. The veteran pass-rusher, while playing defensive end for Denver in 2007 in front of Lynch, broke out with 12.5 sacks. Overall, as either a Broncos 4-3 end or Ravens 3-4 outside linebacker, Dumervil has amassed 99 sacks in 99 career starts. He’s 33 and coming off a 2016 season mostly lost to a foot injury. That made him a easy salary-cap casualty for the Ravens in March....
Bear bile farming is illegal in Vietnam, however it is still practiced in several regions. More than half of Vietnam’s remaining 308 bears are kept on farms, according to conservation organization Education for Nature Vietnam (ENV), which took part in the rescue. Teams from animal welfare organization Four Paws and ENV visited three bear bile farms in Binh Duong province where the nine bears had been trapped in cages for years....
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) on Thursday refused to name 15-year-old Kamila Valieva as the doping suspect, and IOC spokesperson Mark Adams only said an “active legal case” was responsible for the cancellation of a February 8 medal ceremony for the figure skating team event, which Valieva and her teammates had won the day before. The Russian newspaper RBC reported Valieva tested positive for trimetazidine, a medication prescribed for heart conditions and vertigo that is banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency because it increases blood flow efficiency and builds endurance....
Ljungberg took charge of his first game as interim Gunners boss at the weekend, where they twice came from behind in an eventful 2-2 draw at Norwich City. It meant Arsenal remained without a Premier League win away from home since the first weekend of the season, while their previous top-flight triumph of any description came on October 6 against Bournemouth. Brighton and Hove Albion will be the next team that look to prolong that slump when they visit Emirates Stadium on Thursday, but Ljungberg defended Emery, who led Arsenal to the final of the Europa League last season before promoting the former Sweden international to his first-team coaching setup....
Emery will go head-to-head with Guardiola when Arsenal visit Premier League champions City on Sunday, having never beaten his countryman. Former Valencia and Sevilla head coach Emery suffered a 2-0 home defeat to Guardiola’s City in the pair’s last clash in August. And Emery heaped praise on Guardiola, who has delivered silverware at City, Bayern Munich and Barcelona in an illustrious career. “I have analysed a lot of teams and coaches and I think it’s difficult to find one coach who is better than Guardiola,” Emery said....
Emery arrived at Emirates Stadium in May as the replacement for Arsene Wenger after the Frenchman’s 22-year spell at the helm came to an end. He has brought in five new players, with Uruguay international Lucas Torreira and 19-year-old Matteo Guendouzi joining last week, following the arrivals of Bernd Leno, Sokratis Papastathopoulos and Stephan Lichsteiner. However, Pires told Sky Sports: “The best signing for me is Unai Emery, the manager....
Verstappen was caught off the line by the Ferrari. Leclerc led the way, and looked comfortable for most of the race, but significant tyre graining towards the end allowed Verstappen to close. The Monegasque didn’t have anything left in his locker when Verstappen attacked on the penultimate lap, and could only watch as the Red Bull streaked away for the final lap. Verstappen will start Sunday’s Grand Prix on pole, with Leclerc alongside him on the front row....
But since the women’s steeplechase was not an Olympic event, the race was purely an exhibition. Unlike every other winner at the meet, Gaffigan didn’t go to Athens. Back then, running the steeplechase wasn’t exactly a worthy pursuit. “There was a group of us who led the way in terms of being willing to try a brand new event when it was first available as an NCAA event in 2001,” said Gaffigan....
You can use Electron to configure an Angular app to launch on a desktop window, instead of the usual web browser. You can do this using a JavaScript file within the app itself. Once you configure Electron, you can continue development as you would on a regular Angular app. The main parts of the application will still follow the same standard Angular structure. How to Install Electron as Part of Your Application To use Electron, you need to download and install node....
My first contribution to this space was supposed to be about Dale Earnhardt Jr. — my boss, my pal, most likely your favorite racer, the only person who can divert my attention away from my wife while she’s trekking through her first marathon. I write that sentence unashamedly, of course, as I am part of Junior’s publicity team; have been for more than 10 years. The Junior PR machine doesn’t clock out at 5 p....
Musk, the CEO of SpaceX and Tesla, tweeted on Thursday: “Even Discord has gone corpo”—a derogatory term for a person or organisation that has become “corporate.” In just six hours, his tweet sparked more than 11,200 comments. It was also retweeted over 33,000 times and garnered more than 321,000 likes—with that figure jumping by a thousand every few seconds at the time of writing. The r/WallStreetBets group has caused a stir in recent days after its members rallied behind the struggling video game store GameStop, causing its stock to spike....
Di Maria cut a forlorn figure in the warm-up for PSG’s previous game – a 2-1 win over defending Ligue 1 champions Monaco – when he sat on a ball by himself after being named among the substitutes. The former Manchester United star was restored to Emery’s starting 11 for the visit of Troyes on Wednesday but the game remained goalless until he was replaced by Kylian Mbappe and the home side took the lead through goals from Neymar and Edinson Cavani....
Pepe arrived at Emirates Stadium from Lille last week in a reported club-record £72million deal. However, the Ivory Coast international was in Africa Cup of Nations action this close season and, having just linked up with Arsenal, sat out a 2-1 friendly defeat to Barcelona on Sunday. Emery is still optimistic Pepe will be ready for the trip to Newcastle this coming Sunday, but he will take no risks with the 24-year-old....
We were in awe of the Power Note’s premium aluminium alloy design, with its unique binder holes along one edge of the ultra-slim power bank used to effortlessly secure it into a ringbinder, and its handy built-in Micro-USB cable. The Power Blade features those same binder holes along its left edge, and while it lacks the built-in cable you do get a felt case for protecting it on the road....
The Dutchman led Red Bull’s first one-two finish since October 2016 as he cruised to victory at Imola ahead of teammate Sergio Perez. Charles Leclerc had been on course for 3rd, but the championship leader spun off late in proceedings as he chased Perez. The Ferrari man recovered to finish 6th but has seen his lead cut to 27 points by Verstappen. It was a dismal day for Ferrari at the first of their two home races in 2022, with Carlos Sainz going out on the first lap after being spun around into a gravel trap by the McLaren of Daniel Ricciardo....
Pocha was taken to Elephant Sanctuary Brazil with her daughter, Guillermina, who was observed mourning her mother shortly after her death. The former zoo elephant’s cause of death is not known, but sanctuary staff suspect it could have been related to a so far unidentified chronic illness she may have developed during her many years in captivity. “She was perfect,” Scott Blais, co-founder and CEO of Global Sanctuary for Elephants, a charitable organization, told Newsweek....
South Africa were 175 for two at tea after winning the toss and choosing to bat on the best batting pitch of any of the Tests South Africa have hosted against India and Australia this season. Opening batsman Elgar was unbeaten on 91 while De Villiers had scored 46 not out. Elgar and Hashim Amla (31) stabilised the innings with a second wicket partnership of 86 off 174 balls after Josh Hazlewood had Aiden Markram caught at second slip for nought....
