The Cincinnati Bengals have done it again. For the second time this month, Cincinnati sent Baltimore home with a loss. Albeit the Ravens were without starting quarterback Lamar Jackson, the Bengals still took care of business, and that’s what matters most. It was a gritty game to start with the Bengals' offense and Ravens' defense having jawing back and force and even a few penalties were added into the mix. Ja’Marr Chase, Marcus Peters, Roquan Smith, and it felt like everyone else was getting on the action. Nonetheless, the game settled down, and the Bengals eventually tamed the Mark Andrews-led offense. Cincinnati took a 10-9 deficit into the half. It scored to make things 17-10 with Baltimore tying things up at 17. The Bengals used a game-changing fumble recovery to seal the deal as the 98-yard touchdown by Sam Hubbard was ultimately the last points scored in the battle. They’ll now head to Buffalo for a rematch of their Week 17 battle with the Bills next weekend. That said, let’s dive into a few of the best tweets from the Bengals’ Wild Card win. Back in the Nati for the first round of playoffs, again! Brought a W last year

It takes a special combination of factors to produce what happened in Sunday’s wild-card matchup between the Cincinnati Bengals and Baltimore Ravens. With the game knotted at 17-17, the Ravens were quite literally on the doorstep of taking a commanding lead in the fourth quarter against the Bengals. Baltimore offensive coordinator Greg Roman called quarterback Tyler Huntley’s number to get the job done, but the backup to Lamar Jackson was blocked at the line of scrimmage by Cincinnati linebacker Logan Wilson. Wilson swatted the ball into the hands of teammate Sam Hubbard, who returned the ball 98 yards the other way for a touchdown. As it always does, Twitter delivered with reactions to the game-changing play. Sam Hubbard is 6-foot-5, 265. Does that count as a THICC-SIX? I need a ruling. @mikegolicjr— Doug Farrar ?

We thought a couple of the moments from the past week were too good not to share with a wider audience, so here are some of the highlights.Twitter Auctioning Off Two $4,000 Trainer Charging Desks for Bids Starting at $25Coming off Acer's announcement of its $1000 bike desks you can grab a potential bargain in Twitter's upcoming office furniture auction.

A prominent pro-reform law professor in Saudi Arabia was sentenced to death for alleged crimes including having a Twitter account and using WhatsApp to share news considered “hostile” to the kingdom, according to court documents seen by the Guardian.The arrest of Awad Al-Qarni, 65, in September 2017 represented the start of a crackdown against dissent by the then newly named crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman.Details of the charges brought against Al-Qarni have now been shared with the Guardian by his son Nasser, who last year fled the kingdom and is living in the UK, where he has said he is seeking asylum protection.Al-Qarni has been portrayed in Saudi-controlled media as a dangerous preacher, but dissidents have said Al-Qarni was an important and well-regarded intellectual with a strong social media following, including 2m Twitter followers.Human rights advocates and Saudi dissidents living in exile have warned that authorities in the kingdom are engaged in a new and severe crackdown on individuals who are perceived to be critics of the Saudi government. Last year, Salma al-Shehab, a Leeds PhD student and mother of two, received a 34-year sentence for having a Twitter account and for following and retweeting dissidents and activists. Another woman

from the everything's-falling-apart dept Last night, I saw a bunch of folks complaining that the various apps through which they accessed Twitter, were no longer working. People using Tweetbot, Twitteriffic, Tweeten, and others all noted that they were blocked from actually using those services to read Twitter. It quickly became clear that Twitter’s API was completely down. There was plenty of speculation that (in a repeat of an earlier era when Twitter greatly limited its API access out of a fear of losing control of the service to third party developers) that Elon Musk was doing this on purpose to try to stop third party app developers from offering ad-free access to Twitter. However, that still seems like pretty broad speculation. Jack Dorsey, in the past, admitted that the decision a decade ago to cut off their API was one of the biggest mistakes the company made, and in recent years had tried to rectify that with a better developer program and more open API. There were some concerns last month when Elon Musk shut down the Twitter Toolbox program somewhat abruptly, which was a useful tool for many third party app developers. So while I wouldn’t go so far

The Twitter Files part 14, written by independent journalist, Matt Taibbi, shed light on a false narrative of Russian bots and the hashtag #ReleaseTheMemo. Taibbi, who was given access to the internal documents at Twitter by Elon Musk, released a new installment on Thursday. 1.THREAD: Twitter Files #14THE RUSSIAGATE LIESOne: The Fake Tale of Russian Bots and the #ReleaseTheMemo Hashtag — Matt Taibbi (@mtaibbi) January 12, 2023 It began in 2018 when Senators Dianne Feinstein and Adam Schiff wrote the platform a letter regarding trending hashtags and Russian disinformation campaigns. Twitter pointed out that both the politicians and the media didn’t only lack the evidence but had evidence the accounts were not Russian. However, the platform was “roundly ignored.” Backtracking to a week before Twitter received the letter, Republican Devin Nunes submitted a classified memo to the House Intel Committee that detailed the abuses by the FBI in obtaining Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) surveillance authority against those connected to former President Trump. Included was the role played by the Steele Dossier.

Twitter is leaving at least a dozen international offices due to closures or not paying rent. Hubs in Europe and even Twitter's headquarters in Asia are shuttered. The closures come amid continued cost-cutting, layoffs, and firings under Twitter owner Elon Musk. Elon Musk is closing many of its international Twitter offices as he continues to cut costs and try to find ways the company can make money.At least a dozen international offices are closed or in the process of closing, according to two people familiar with the company and messages seen by Insider, along with several more in the U.S. that are expected to close in the coming weeks. The closures are also expected to result in another few hundred Twitter employees losing their jobs, in addition to the thousands who have already been laid off, fired, or chosen to resign since Musk took over Twitter just over two months ago. Some offices being closed include those in Hong Kong and Philippines, as well as Mexico and Africa, where all Twitter employees were laid off in November, according to the people familiar. Offices in Australia, Korea, and most of the offices in Europe and India are also either closed or expected
