Giants Giants The Giants made a splash at the MLB trade deadline by acquiring four-time All-Star Kris Bryant from the Chicago Cubs on Friday. While it was down to the wire, San Francisco got their guy. Bryant was one of the bigger names on the trading block, and baseball Twitter was stoked to have the former NL MVP wearing orange and black. Here are some of the reactions across social media. To start things off, this was the exact moment Bryant found out he was being traded. He showed his emotions after spending seven seasons with the team that drafted him back in 2013. Giants starter Alex Wood blended in with the rest of trade deadline Twitter with many eye emojis.  Giants insider Alex Pavlovic dubbed this the perfect fit all along. Some viewed Giants president of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi as some sort of superhero: Giants general manager Scott Harris, formerly employed by the Cubs, probably is looking forward to this next chapter for Bryant as well.  The Giants Triple-A affiliate River Cats appeared pretty happy with the acquisition: Some weren't too happy with it.  NBC Sports Bay Area's own Bonta Hill likes it. He “likes it a lot.” Anthony Garcia,…

We’ve seen it adopted by the likes of Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp as well as browsers like Google Chrome.

A stealth change to how Linktree handles redirects to potentially inappropriate content has some of Twitch’s most prominent hot tub streamers abandoning the site. Linktree is a website that allows content creators to provide links to all their channels and pages in one neat place for viewer convenience. It hasn’t come without controversy, however. Many Twitch users have expressed concerns that being allowed to feature Linktree on channels is an exploit certain streamers use to indirectly promote their more adult-themed content. By having Linktree as an in-between from Twitch and sites such as OF, streamers can get around certain rules pertaining to what content is acceptable to link to on the platform. LinktreeLinktree now has a sensitive content warning. Linktree cracks down on mature content A stealthy update to how Linktree handles such links is forcing some streamers to move away from it in favor of similar tools without the same restrictions.

Prior to this, users could manually choose to enable restrictions or not.  Read More: Pokimane slams sexist Twitch donator after “sh**ty” comments about Hafu If users click on a link…

Being a popular female on the Internet, Twitch streamer Imane "Pokimane" Anys has to deal with a lot of sexist nonsense, including from her own viewers and donators. During a recent stream, one viewer attempted to guilt the streamer into reversing their ban after they made some repulsive comments. As you would expect, this didn't work. Rather, Pokimane took the opportunity to slam the twitch viewer and their behavior.To understand the situation, you have to go back to 2008 when a World of Warcraft team played under a name that targeted and harassed Rumay "Hafu" Wang, another popular Twitch streamer. According to Hafu -- who brought up the incident in light of the spotlight that has been put on the work culture of Activision Blizzard -- it was all swept under the rug at the time, by, you guessed it, Activision Blizzard.On Twitter, and during a recent stream, Pokimane brought up this incident and expressed her disgust that it was allowed to happen. As Pokimane talked about all of this, one of her viewers was banned. Rather than leave like their ban suggested they should, the viewer threatened to unsubscribe if the decision wasn't reversed. This prompted Pokimane to view…

US Attorney's office alleges Juan Quinones-Rivera, 39, was using Snapchat to request and receive child pornography. BUFFALO, N.Y. — A 30-year-old man was arrested and charged with production of child pornography. Juan Quinones-Rivera, 39, was discovered to have alleged child pornography images that he asked for and received through Snapchat, according to Assistant U.S. Attorney Caitlin Higgins. Higgins said that on April 21, 2019, New York State Parole contacted the FBI after a parole officer discovered Quinones-Rivera was in possession of a cell phone, which is a violation of his parole.  The parole officer found Snapchat messages between Quinones-Rivera and a female. A search of the phone recovered numerous videos and images of suspected child pornography, Higgins stated.  Quinones-Rivera requested and received about 50 videos and photos from the victim. Investigators also recovered sexually explicit text conversations between Quinones-Rivera and the victim.  In May, the FBI contacted the Greene County, Virginia Sheriff's Office for assistance in identifying the victim. Investigators searched the victim's cell phone and found an image that was found on Quinones-Rivera's phone.

Advertisement This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Strathcona Druids Rugby Football Club (RFC) was given a heads up by the province more than a few years ago that its clubhouse would have to be relocated on the park site because of increased pipeline construction along the utility corridor near the Anthony Henday, which is only a few hundred metres from its building. Construction of the TransMountain pipeline expansion already took place last year on the west side of the transmission lines, however, another pipe will be laid on the east side of the lines soon, so the pressure is on for the club to shift its operations by about 200 metres down the field.  » Read More
