The Cincinnati Bengals headed to Nashville to take on the Tennessee Titans and came up short, picking up their third loss of the season while falling 27-3. The first half was a tale of two quarters. It started off as a rock fight as both the offenses tried to get rolling. Unfortunately for Bengals fans, it was the Titans offense that found a pulse first, which put the Bengals in a 24-3 hole heading into the half. When we look at the second half, there isn’t much else to say here, either. The Titans controlled this game for the final two quarters, as the Bengals offense could not get going all afternoon. Now, the questions that have been asked need some answers. Burrow obviously isn’t 100%, and it is setting this offense up for failure. Do they go to Jake Browning until he is fully healthy? Do they keep pushing until it finally clicks? I don’t know what the answers are, but this Bengals squad is headed for very dangerous waters. Have to get some answers quickly. Now let’s see how Twitter reacted to today's loss to the Titans: it took a game from the bengals' defense that hasn't happened

A meeting between C.E.O. Linda Yaccarino and seven Wall Street banks could decide whether investors can finally sell off the company’s debt without losing their shirts in the process. Plus, notes on the fallout from Bill Gates’ Tesla short. On October 5, Twitter/X C.E.O. Linda Yaccarino will reportedly meet with representatives of the seven banks that are still white-knuckling $13 billion of Twitter’s debt, in what is easily one of the most important Wall Street summits of the year. The value of this debt, after all, is wholly dependent on the likelihood that Elon Musk will be able to pay it back and make it money good, which he is currently doing by forking over quarterly interest payments totaling around $1.2 billion a year—so no small feat, even for the world’s richest man, when Twitter has lost users, lost advertising, hasn’t turned a profit since 2019 and prospects for turning it all around look dim, at best. Even though the Twitter debt is senior, and mostly secured by Twitter’s assets, it has always been a risky piece of paper. At the time Elon took over, just before last Halloween, Twitter’s EBITDA was around $1 billion a year, making for an

The Nittany Lions came away from their second road game of the season with a convincing final score of 41-13 Saturday in Evanston, but the vibes weren’t always so great in the first half. A Nick Singleton fumble on the opening kickoff and a lack of offensive rhythm put Penn State off schedule early, and things were knotted up 10-10 after the first 30 minutes. Nittany Lion fans took to Twitter accordingly. I’ve had a bottle of fireball in my pocket for like an hour. I was saving it for a touchdown but at this point I might take it cause I wanna die— Caroline (@_supcaroline) September 30, 2023 Penn State has had a few plays on offense where the receiver had no idea the ball was ever coming his way. Just dysfunctional so far.— Ben Jones (@Ben_Jones88) September 30, 2023 @PennStateFball announcer say Penn state needs to do some real brain storming on offense at the half. Yeah it’s called a better offensive coordinator— Joseph Tracey (@JosephTracey4) September 30, 2023 Offense looks like complete shit.. Defense has been flying around everywhere. If they play Michigan and OSU like this, they’re getting smoked smh #PennState #WeAre— J.x2 #RavensFlock (@JaySVP__) September

Hi folks, Kylie Robison here with the tech team, and I’ve got yet another conference yarn to spin for you. This week, I went to Vox Media’s Code Conference in Laguna Niguel, Calif. If you haven’t heard yet, what went down was wild. I traveled from San Francisco to this conference for the headliner: X (formerly Twitter) CEO Linda Yaccarino. I was keen to see her in person since it has been almost one year since Elon Musk took control of Twitter. I’ll be blunt: Yaccarino conducted one of the worst live interviews many of us had ever seen—and you can judge for yourself! While some might say that the CEO of a massive social media platform should be able to roll with the punches (and I agree), there’s some additional context that might explain this utter and complete train wreck: An hour before Yaccarino was set to take the stage on Wednesday, the former Twitter head of trust and safety, Yoel Roth, made a surprise appearance with the founder of the conference, Kara Swisher. Roth left Twitter late last year, after a tweet by Musk falsely accused him of pedophilia, and has been open about the experiences that ensued.

By now, you may have heard about Elon Musk's handpicked CEO for X, Linda Yaccarino, and her disastrous interview with CNBC's Julia Boorstin at Vox Media's Code 2023 event. However, somewhat overlooked amid some of the more viral moments of the discussion, Yaccarino dropped some previously unknown stats that don't exactly paint such a rosy picture for the company:X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, is losing daily active users under the leadership of Elon Musk.Speaking at Vox Media's Code 2023 event earlier this week, X CEO Linda Yaccarino shared that the company currently has 225 million daily active users – a decline in tens of millions or 11.6 percent of users from just before Musk acquired the company.According to a series of tweets that Musk himself posted in November of last year, Twitter had 254.5 million daily active users the week before his takeover in late November of last year. Tweet may have been deleted Following the conference, X revised its daily active user count to 245 million daily active users, according to The Information. Before specifically saying X had 225 million active users, Yaccarinno previously cited "200 to 250 million daily active users earlier in the interview.However, even

Shmurda tweeted: “Sha lo report ara eh!!!”, which means “Go and report yourself!!” in Yoruba. The tweet came shortly after Marley issued an official statement to his Instagram page, denying any involvement in the death of his former signee, Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba, also known as Mohbad. In his statement, Marley said that he was “appalled by the onslaught on his character” since Mohbad died, and denied all allegations against him. He also said that he was cooperating with the police investigation into Mohbad’s death. Shmurda’s tweet has been interpreted by many as a direct attack on Marley. Some fans believe that Shmurda is accusing Marley of being involved in Mohbad’s death, while others believe that he

Thursday, September 28, 2023 at 10:55 am | Back to: Top NewsUpdated: September 28, 2023 at 11:21 am Bob Baffert with Clark Brewster | Sarah Andrew By Bill Finley Trainer Bob Baffert has sued well-known Twitter (now known as X) posters Justin Wunderler and Daniel DiCorcia for defamation and extortion over frequent posts on the social media website, which Baffert's lawyers contend amounted to “a series of escalating threats and criminal conduct,” adding that the defendants “have urged others to engage in violent behavior toward Baffert and his family, baselessly accused Baffert of criminal conduct, and attempted to extort Baffert and his family under threats to his business, reputation, and occupational license.” The suit goes on to allege that Wunderler and DiCorcia attempted to extort money from Baffert in exchange for them not releasing information they contended would be so damaging that it would end Baffert's career. Wunderler goes by “Swifthitter” on Twitter and DiCorcia posts under the name of “barshoelife.” The suit was filed on Wednesday in U.S. District Court, Southern District of California, by Baffert and Bob Baffert Racing Stables, Inc. The Paulick Report and the San Diego Union-Tribune were among the first to report the story. “Bob

Twitter, now known as X, has a business relationship with the NFL. And Twitter, now known as X, reportedly is making some interesting decisions about where to place the NFL’s ads.According to Eric Hananoki of MediaMatters.org, Twitter (now known as X) “has been placing advertisements for the NFL on prominent white nationalist accounts, including accounts that have attacked the league by calling it anti-white.”The accounts in question have over a million followers.Last week, NFL chief media and business officer Brian Rolapp praised new Twitter, now known as X, CEO Linda Yaccarino for “doing great work innovating to make the platform better for fans and partners.”One of the accounts reportedly belongs to a streaming host who has among other things pushed the idea that Bills safety Damar Hamlin died to the COVID vaccine and has been replaced by an actor.We won’t name names or post links here, beyond linking to the primary story. We’ve asked the league for comment on the reporting from MediaMatters.org.
