James Ennis has gone from subtlely suggesting the Lakers signing him on social media to outright begging. Earlier this summer, Ennis began liking tweets on Twitter suggesting he should sign with the Lakers. It was a very subtle approach, camouflaged by him liking tweets he return to the Magic as well. He then spent time liking and commenting on pictures from the Lakers on Instagram. Whether that directly led to him getting a reported workout with the team is unlikely, but it made his desires clear. However, Ennis — who is still unsigned — appears to be getting a bit more vocal. On Sunday during the fourth quarter of the Lakers fourth loss of the preseason and second to the Phoenix Suns, Ennis dropped the subtleties and facade and outright asked to be signed by the Lakers.

SINGAPORE: The Minister for Home Affairs has instructed the POFMA (Protection from Online Falsehoods and Manipulation Act) Office to issue a targeted correction direction to Twitter, following Mr Jolovan Wham’s non-compliance with a correction order issued to him on Friday (Oct 8), said the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) on Saturday. Under the targeted correction direction, Twitter is required to alert users who have seen Mr Wham’s tweet that it contains false claims about Law and Home Affairs Minister K Shanmugam's views on the rule of law. Mr Wham’s tweet on Oct 6 "communicated the falsehood that the Minister for Home Affairs adopts the view that the rule of law does not operate anywhere in the real world, including in Singapore", said MHA. The latest directive comes after MHA said on Friday that it was aware of "falsehoods" circulated online by Mr Wham, which "misrepresented" what Mr Shanmugam had said in Parliament on Oct 4. A correction direction was issued to Mr Wham on Friday, requiring Mr Wham to publish the correction notice on his online platform. "The minister had repeatedly affirmed, in Parliament, the importance of the rule of law for Singapore and the Government's strong and continued commitment…

College "My crime? Arguing for academic evaluations based on academic merit." The Great Dome on Killian Court at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) campus in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Adam Glanzman / Bloomberg The Massachusetts Institute of Technology canceled a visiting professor’s lecture after many took to Twitter to call out his views on diversity, equity, and inclusion in higher ed.  The university cited “current distractions” in its decision to nix a John Carlson Lecture — a prestigious honor — to be given by University of Chicago professor Dorian Abbot, the Boston Herald reported.

On Tuesday, Abbot posted about the experience, saying his lecture was canceled because of an “outrage mob on Twitter.” “My crime? Arguing for academic evaluations based on academic merit,” he wrote.  On Sept. 22, he said, a group of MIT students, post docs, and alumni took to Twitter to demand he be uninvited. Abbot wrote that on Sept. 30, MIT’s department chair told him they’d be canceling the lecture to “avoid controversy.” “It’s worth stating what happened again:…
