Twitter headquarters is seen in San Francisco, California.Anadolu Agency Twitter’s CEO complained about the investigation on his own platform, questioning why the city “attacks companies providing beds for tired employees” when it could prioritize enforcing drug laws instead. San Francisco’s Department of Building Inspection is investigating a complaint that Twitter CEO Elon Musk has converted office space at the company’s headquarters into bedrooms for employees, following a Forbes report. “We need to make sure the building is being used as intended,” said Patrick Hannan, the communications director for the department, in a statement. “There are different building code requirements for residential buildings, including those being used for short-term stays.” Forbes reported Monday that Twitter employees arriving to work that day had been surprised by the rooms, which feature what appear to be queen-sized mattresses. An image shared with Forbes showed a room that looked like it had been converted from a conference room, based on two large telepresence monitors on the wall. The conference table had been replaced with an unmade mattress. “It’s not a good look,” one source who requested anonymity for fear of reprisal told Forbes. “It’s yet another unspoken sign of disrespect. There is no discussion. Just

Giants Giants For about five minutes on Tuesday afternoon, Aaron Judge was a San Francisco Giant. Scratch that, Arson Judge was a San Francisco Giant. There's a huge difference, apparently.  Unfortunately for San Francisco, both Judge and his evil twin were erased from the Giants' lineup before fans could even think about purchasing a jersey.  Some context: MLB Network's Jon Heyman shocked the baseball world on Tuesday afternoon, sending out a tweet that, well ... just read for yourself.  Not only did Heyman spell Judge's name wrong, but he followed it up with another tweet where he admitted to prematurely reporting that Judge was signing with the Giants.  Giants say they have not heard on Aaron Judge, My apologies for jumping the gun.— Jon Heyman (@JonHeyman) December 6, 2022 Poor Giants fans experienced a whole range of emotions in the span of five minutes.  Heyman joined 95.7 The Game's "Damon & Ratto" later in the afternoon, where he addressed his misfire on Twitter and provided some reassurance for Giants fans.  "I heard he was going to the Giants from a couple of people, so I thought it was good enough," Heyman explained. "Since then, the Giants have said they haven't

Over the weekend, former President Donald Trump reacted to the publication of the “Twitter Files” — a series of internal emails among Twitter executives about censoring media stories that were potentially damaging to then-candidate Joe Biden in the weeks before the 2020 presidential election — by saying the “revelation” proves his allegation of election fraud and said the remedy should “allow for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution.” A number of public figures reacted to Trump’s comments, including Utah Sen. Mike Lee, condemning the 2024 presidential candidate for putting himself above the Constitution.Twitter CEO Elon Musk gave independent journalist Matt Taibbi access to internal communications between Twitter officials where they were discussing whether to suppress a New York Post story on Hunter Biden’s laptop. The Post said the laptop had evidence of Hunter Biden’s foreign business dealings and of his drug use and hiring of prostitutes.Taibbi also shared screenshots of communications purporting to show Twitter staff “removing or reviewing” accounts of users at the behest of the Democratic National Committee and the “Biden Team.”In his post over the weekend, Trump asks on his Truth Social account if the “revelation of MASSIVE &

Wow. ✍️ Sign and sealed by Cody Barton ✍️— Seattle Seahawks (@Seahawks) December 5, 2022 The #Seahawks have seven wins, one more than Russell Wilson and Bobby Wagner have combined on their new teams.— Danny O'Neil (@dannyoneil) December 5, 2022 The last time the Seattle Seahawks beat the LA Rams was December 27th of 2020. Let’s just say... a lot has changed since then. The 6-5 Seahawks came into this game trying to get back on track on the heels of a two game losing streak; the defending Super Bowl champs have had a nightmare of a season at 3-8, and are currently weighing their options at QB for the remainder of the season. According to StatHead, the last time the Seahawks beat the Rams was December 27th of 2020, and the last time they beat them on the road was in 2017. I wasn’t going to get comfortable until the final second left the clock. And I wasn’t alone. Heading in to that final touchdown drive, tensions were high and emotions were... mixed. No OT please. None of it.— occasional good opinion haver (@wrongopinionman) December 4, 2022 Bad defense, lack of depth at RB with injuries, offensive line playing

The Cincinnati Bengals have defeated the Kansas City Chiefs for the third-straight time in the last two seasons. This was a highly anticipated games by pretty much the entire NFL as the Bengals seemed to be catching fire similar to last season. The Chiefs wanted to get revenge for their loss in the AFC Championship game. The winners were everyone who get to watch this game with two of the best teams in the entire NFL... The real winners though were the Bengals, again, who came away with a 27-24 victory! Here are the best tweets from the game. The turning point The momentum had swung completely in favor of Kansas City in the second half. Cincinnati’s offense couldn’t finish drives, and the defense just could not stop them from scoring more. The Chiefs had jumped up 24 to 20 in the fourth quarter when a hero emerged. The offense desperately needed the defense to get some sort of stop, and linebacker Germaine Pratt came up big by stripping the ball away from Travis Kelce. Pratt was the same defender who picked off Derek Carr in Cincinnati’s first playoff win in nearly 30 years during last year’s Wild Card. If

This Week in Twitter is a look at some of the week's best and most entertaining tweets from Buckeyeland and beyond. It was a tough stretch for most of the week at Ohio State as the school grappled with the football team's first loss to Michigan in Columbus after over two decades. But then last night, the Pac-12 Championship happened. And as it became increasingly more apparent that the Buckeyes were back on a trajectory to make the College Football Playoff, people started to get mad. It offends every fiber of my core that a team could completely no-show in its final game, sit on its ass during championship weekend and be rewarded with a playoff spot. — Dan Wolken (@DanWolken) December 3, 2022 Salt does not quite provide the same level of nourishment as Wolverine tears, but it remains delicious all the same. This is not a no-show by USC. Its a flawed team with an injured quarterback who is fighting his ass off. Its probably not going to be good enough but they arent turtling like the Buckeyes did in that fourth quarter https://t.co/fQxUeeZN94 — Dan Wolken (@DanWolken) December 3, 2022 And like a storage dome sitting next

REUTERS/Adriano Machado/File PhotoSAO PAULO, Dec 3 (Reuters) - Twitter owner Elon Musk said on Saturday he thought it was "possible" that personnel at the social media firm gave preference to left-wing candidates during Brazil's election this year, without providing evidence.Musk completed his acquisition of Twitter on Oct. 27, just days before Brazil's presidential second round runoff vote, when far-right incumbent Jair Bolsonaro was defeated by leftist Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva."I've seen a lot of concerning tweets about the recent Brazil election," Musk wrote on Twitter when asked by a user about elections possibly "handled" by the company's previous management."If those tweets are accurate, it's possible that Twitter personnel gave preference to left wing candidates," added the billionaire.Bolsonaro earlier this year hosted Musk at a meeting in the Brazilian state of Sao Paulo, when he called the U.S. billionaire's takeover of Twitter a "breath of hope" and dubbed him a "legend of liberty".Both Lula and Bolsonaro widely used Twitter during their campaigns. Some Bolsonaro allies - including the most-voted

Of more than 140,000 Twitter users who announced they were moving to Mastodon, just 1.6 per cent have actually quit Elon Musk’s social media platform Technology 2 December 2022 By Chris Stokel-Walker How many people are really moving from Twitter to Mastodon?Andreas Prott/Alamy Only a handful of Twitter users who have threatened to leave the social network for open-source alternative Mastodon have actually deleted their Twitter accounts.
