MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough on Wednesday argued that former President Donald Trump’s booting from social media for inciting the Jan. 6 insurrection proved to be “a huge windfall” for Republicans.The “Morning Joe” co-host, during a discussion on Democrat Terry McAullife’s defeat to the GOP’s Glenn Youngkin in the Virginia governor race, pointed out that some Republicans are glad Trump is no longer on Twitter. Youngkin kept Trump at arm’s length during his campaign. Without Trump’s social media ban, Scarborough noted, the former president would have reminded Virginia voters “every two minutes of just how caustic, how toxic his personality was.”“Actually, him being banned from Twitter, him being banned from Facebook, him being banned from social media is a huge windfall for Republicans,” said Scarborough in a video shared by Mediaite.Distancing themselves from Trump could be the playbook that Republicans use in 2022 and beyond, said “Way Too Early” anchor Jonathan Lemire.

It’s that time of year again where people start to collect and create lists that look back at the past few months. From retrospectives to “Best of” lists, we’ll soon be inundated with pieces that will try to point this rather messy year in a more positive light. It’s also the time for app stores to reveal their best wares, and Google is asking users to vote on this year’s top apps and games. Unfortunately, Google’s list, while notable, does throw a bit of attention on one of Android’s most ironic problems: apps. The Choices The apps on Google’s list are taken from what the company describes as the “buzziest” new titles of the year. You can see in the Apps section the likes of Clubhouse, which only arrived on Android this year. There’s also Paramount+, one of the newer entries to the video streaming market, and, amusingly, Wix’s website builder app. On the games’ side, there are more recognizable names, though some of them might sound like old news, like Magic: The Gathering Arena and League of Legends: Wild Rift.  » Read More

Ever since it came out, the social audio platform Clubhouse has been a hit – in fact, it has enabled big names such as Facebook and Twitter to launch similar features to compete with Clubhouse. As the competition has intensified (players such as Spotify, Discord, Reddit, LinkedIn, Slack, and Telegram have also leaped into the fray), Clubhouse seeks an edge that will let it stay one step ahead in the race. It has clocked massive growth in India over the past few months, and today, it has relented to one of the most popular features demanded by users – support for local languages. That’s right, Clubhouse is rolling out support for 13 new languages, including five Indian languages on its app to make its platform more accessible and native to the masses. From today, it will support Indian languages such as Hindi, Kannada, Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam on Android, and it is expected to roll out on iOS soon. The other languages are French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Brazilian Portuguese, and Spanish. If you have Clubhouse and selected one of the above languages,  » Read More

Although Kim Kardashian goes to NYC, like, all the time, her trip there has made headlines thanks to her reported new thing with SNL‘s Pete Davidson. Now, all of a sudden, Kardashian’s time in the city — including Staten Island — is making major headlines. But all we can see? How killer Kardashian’s long hair and NYC-style ‘fits are looking. Of course, hanging out with Davidson isn’t the only reason Kardashian is in NYC, or why she’s turning on the glam. On Monday, Kardashian hit up Wall Street Journal Magazine‘s 2021 Innovator Awards wearing her upcoming Skims x Fendi collab. The brown leather hugged her curves as she went on stage to accept a Brand Innovator award for Skims. She wore her glossy dark brown hair up in a ponytail, which is why we didn’t notice just how long it is these days. On Tuesday, “glam fam” Chris Appleton and Mario Dedivanovic joined Kardashian in NYC. Dedivanovice ensured she had her signature cool-toned bronzy makeup with nude lips, while Appleton smoothed her waist-length strands. Our mission at STYLECASTER is to bring style to the people, and we only feature products we think you’ll love as much as we do. Please…

When Snap, the first major tech giant out of the gate with third-quarter earnings, revealed Oct. 21 an overall miss caused by Apple’s iOS privacy changes, shares tumbled 20 percent as analysts watched carefully to see whether the dent to targeted advertising would become a trend. For the most part, it has. Days later, Facebook (now officially rebranded as Meta) missed revenue expectations and offered modest projections for its fourth-quarter performance “in light of continued headwinds from Apple’s iOS 14 changes.” Released in April, Apple’s privacy change requires apps to receive user permission to track their behavior across other apps and websites. If the user opts out, the company can no longer track customers’ data within their own app using Apple’s Identifier for Advertisers system. Twitter, led by mogul Jack Dorsey, also fell below Wall Street forecasts, and executives cited an ad slowdown due to Apple’s changes, though ad revenue itself was up 40 percent year-over-year. YouTube’s ad revenue also narrowly missed expectations, and Alphabet CFO Ruth Porat noted a “modest impact on YouTube revenues” due to the iOS changes during a call with analysts. But of the four ad-driven tech companies, Alphabet — parent company of Google and YouTube…

FORT MORGAN, Colo. (CBS4) – A Fort Morgan family is asking for the community’s help after a fire damaged its home, cars and several pieces of adaptive equipment used to make life easier. (credit: CBS) The fire broke out Saturday at the Carr family’s home of 35 years. The fire department said the cause is still under review, but investigators believe the fire started in the garage and spread to the attic. At the time the fire broke out, Lance Carr was live streaming on Twitch while playing video games. In the video, Carr is heard saying, “we’re calling 911?” He later asks if the garage is on fire. Carr, who is quadriplegic, is then seen being helped out of the home by his nephew, Trenton.

All five family members and eight pets made it out of the home safely, but the fire took its toll. The family’s garage was damaged, as well as several cars.

Streaming on Twitch is not easy. It requires a severe amount of dedication, effort, and a little bit of luck to make a living wage of some kind doing it. One streamer based in the United Kingdom named SquidGame, whose real name is Lydia Ellery, has been at it for years now. She’s been slowly building up a community and has reached the status of Twitch partner. She’s also been uploading gaming content on her YouTube channel for 10 years now under the names “SquidGaming” and “SquidGame.” Unfortunately for Ellery, many people who have never heard of her have been attacking her online as of late because of her username in light of Netflix’s hit show Squid Game. Ellery recently talked to BBC News about how the explosion in popularity for Squid Game has been leading to her being harassed, having her Instagram account banned, and losing out on job opportunities. “I’ve received a lot of hate from the fans and I’ve been turned down for work because of it ,” she told the BBC. … “I started getting abusive messages from people. People were getting angry with me because they were mega fans… and thought I took the…
