6:57 AM ETNate SaundersF1 Associate Editor Close• Previously worked in rugby union and British Superbikes • History graduate from Reading University • Joined ESPNF1 in February 2014If you were looking for a face to represent Generation Z in Formula One, Lando Norris' might just be it. As one of F1's most popular drivers, and possibly it's most active online, he fits the bill perfectly.What sets Norris apart from many of his peers is his social media presence. He has 4.4 million followers on Instagram, 1.5 million on Twitter and 1.1 million on Twitch. His Instagram and Twitter numbers are middling compared to some F1 drivers but it's the Twitch following that makes him stand out.In the early months of the pandemic, Norris set streaming records as the world turned to online gaming in lieu of live sports. It's not difficult to understand why Norris is loved by so many F1 fans. Beyond the gaming and streaming, he's established himself as someone worth supporting on track and off it.On track, he's one of the sport's most exciting young talents, demonstrated this year by the fact he's largely out-performed Daniel Ricciardo, one of the grid's best rated drivers. Off track, he's become an outspoken advocate…

Elon Musk is the world's richest person.Maja Hitij/Getty Images Elon Musk has now sold roughly 9.2 million shares in Tesla, netting him just under $10 billion. The sales mean he's over halfway towards his Twitter commitment to sell 10% of his holding. Musk held just over 170 million shares in September, so 10% of his stake is around 17 million shares.

However, he'd need to sell more if he continues to exercise stock options.Musk's selling resumed on Tuesday, according to SEC filings from Tuesday that showed he sold another 934,000 shares for $1.05 billion. The sales were earmarked to pay taxes on 2.15 million stock options that he also exercised. The sales took Musk's total disposals since the Twitter poll on November 6 to…

Twitter is getting serious about shopping. In June, the company launched a pilot version of an in-app shopping module. And now, the company will let users shop while watching a livestream.The feature is called Live Shopping, and it allows you to check out and purchase items during a livestream. It lets you switch between the shopping tab and the livestream, and you can continue watching the stream even when you're making a purchase on the third party merchant's website. The experience will be seamless, Twitter claims. Credit: Twitter The company is piloting the new feature in collaboration with Walmart. The first Live Shopping stream will go live at 7pm ET on Nov. 28, starring Jason Derulo, who will host a 30-minute show featuring a bunch of products that users will be able to buy right there and then. Twitter also said it would be expanding its Shop Module to more merchants in the U.S. "in the coming weeks." Finally, the company is launching the Twitter Shopping Manager, which will give merchants a better way to control how they're displayed on Twitter.

Anyone can join a Space as long as they have the invite link.There's a host who controls who can speak, which at the moment is limited to 13 people at once. Twitter has been trialling the feature with a few users for a while, but started rolling it out more widely earlier this year. In October the social media platform announced that everyone with the app on iOS or Android can now host a Space.What is Sing Your Dialect?"I see it as a celeb versus the people karaoke radio…

Noah Syndergaard recently signed a one-year deal to head west and join the Angels, this after seemingly spurning the Mets' qualifying offer in the process. That decision seemed to anger New York's (retired) sports pope and former WFAN radio host Mike Francesa, who took to Twitter to deliver some unsolicited, unrequested opinions on Syndergaard and the Mets: The Mets are better off without Syndergaard. In case you haven't noticed, they have been without him for years. — Mike Francesa (@MikeFrancesa) November 19, 2021"The Mets are better off without Syndergaard. In case you haven't noticed, they have been without him for years," Francesa tweeted. Francesa is right about one thing: The Mets have been without Syndergaard for a few years, as "Thor" has been battling injuries since 2019, pitching just innings — both in 2021 — over that span.In any case, the pitcher didn't take kindly to Francesa's words, instead delivering some ill will of his own in a reply: Damn, didn't know you were still alive. Congrats. — Noah Syndergaard (@Noahsyndergaard) November 19, 2021"Damn, didn't know you were…

A man on Twitter complained that an SBI branch denied him entry for wearing shorts. (Representational)Kolkata: While security at the bank is usually a reassuring sight, the fashion police may be one of the last forms of enforcement one expects to encounter on a trip to their nearest branch.Earlier this week, a man from Kolkata complained on Twitter that a State Bank of India (SBI) branch denied him entry for wearing shorts - their reason being that they expected their customers to "maintain decency" at the branch.In a tweet directed at the official SBI Twitter handle that has since gone viral, the man, identified as Ashish, said, "Hey @TheOfficialSBI went to one of your branch today wearing shorts, was told that I need to come back wearing full pants as the branch expects customers to 'maintain decency'.""Is there some sort of an official policy on what a customer can wear and cannot wear?" the tweet added.Hey @TheOfficialSBI went to one of your branch today wearing shorts, was told that I need to come back wearing full pants as the branch expects customers to "maintain decency"Is there some sort of an official policy on what a customer can wear and cannot…

Even during the best of times, Twitter isn’t exactly the ideal online destination for finding nuanced and thoughtful analysis of complex social problems — which makes the political discussions that emanate from that platform unbearably cartoonish. Doom-scrolling on the social media giant reveals a parade of ideologically vapid political soundbites—outrage manufactured to generate retweets and clicks rather than political enlightenment or persuasion. Given the degree to which the broader political culture seems to take its cue from such a procession of self-righteous indignation, it’s easy to see why the unadulterated partisan hate propagated on social media has been credited with increasing the political chasm that divides Americans.  After all, rushing to virtue signal one’s political allegiance with hyperbole is an increasingly standard way of reacting to the world nowadays on social media.  Such online political noise was almost unbearable Friday, after Kyle Rittenhouse was found not guilty by a jury of his peers. The online reactions to the verdict were predictably divisive — as if two halves of America had watched two entirely different trials. Scrolling through the plethora of uninformed, yet highly opinionated hot takes on the subject was an act of voyeurism to a sickening display of political…
