Well that’s certainly intriguing. Lincoln Riley is now followed by several LSU recruits as well as basketball coach Will Wade and new baseball coach Jay Johnson.Johnson’s follow seems particularly relevant, as the others could have presumably been from a while ago for a number of reasons, but Johnson is entering his first year in Baton Rouge.Does this *actually* mean anything? I don’t know, maybe not. But in today’s landscape and with the way things work in 2021, Twitter follows aren’t nothing. It’s something you at least have to pay attention to.If LSU truly is able to lure Riley away from Oklahoma, that would open up yet another blue blood job in what is already the most notable coaching carousels we’ve seen in some time. Is it easier to win a national title at LSU than Oklahoma once OU enters the SEC? It looks like we’ll find out Riley’s answer to that question soon enough.And if Oklahoma finds itself in need of a new coach, where does it look? Does OU call Josh Heupel, who led the Sooners to an undefeated season and national championship at quarterback in 2000 and has impressed in his first season as Tennessee’s head coach? Does…

Twitter is having a very busy year. The company has launched many features for its users and although we are almost in December, the app might have a few more surprises hidden for people. According to reverse engineer Nima Owji, we might be close to the release date of Reactions. This feature, which started being tested a couple of months ago, is set to launch soon, as Owji was able to find references to that in Twitter’s code. With four new reactions, “tears of joy,” “thinking face,” “clapping hands,” and “crying face,” this feature is designed to give users the ability to better show how conversations make them feel, and to give users “a better understanding of how their Tweets are received.” Not only that but Nima also said that Twitter is now able to store data about the downvotes feature, which is another indicator that this function will be released sooner rather than later. The reverse engineer also notes that the company changed the downvote position as well, so it will appear before the like button. Twitter has even added a new tab explaining how downvotes work: Tap to downvote: See a reply that doesn’t seem relevant to the…

Source: MediaNews Group/Reading Eagle via Getty Images / Getty Food snobs can be so obnoxious when they offer criticism of those meal unsolicited pics that people are so fond of gratuitously posting to social media. But on Thanksgiving, Black Twitter disproved that theory in a resounding fashion as users reacted with humorous facts to the whitest versions of macaroni and cheese, a holiday staple that has somehow been bastardized by cooks with predilections for infusing any given meal with raisins and other inappropriate additives that dilute the beautiful simplicity of what standard mac and cheese recipes call for. MORE: Woman’s Mac & Cheese With Raisins Dish Gets Posted To TikTok And Then Swiftly Dragged Back To The Hell From Whence It Came For instance, while citing raisins is a hyperbolic, tongue-in-cheek metaphor for any food prepared by white people, Thanksgiving mac and cheese photos posted to social media on Thursday show that it is no exaggeration to say that Black people have one united vision of what the dish looks like, while white folks, er, um… let’s just say they don’t. From using pasta that isn’t macaroni to laying slices of Kraft American cheese on top to mixing in ingredients…

Tenet was a popular choice. (courtesy: tenetthefilm)HighlightsIMDB started a Twitter thread Christopher Nolan, David Lynch films dominated the list Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange was on the list tooNew Delhi: A Twitter thread started by IMDb this week on the most confusing movie threw up some common answers. Many responses agree that Christopher Nolan's time and mind-bending films are hard to follow; three in particular were named - Inception, Memento and Tenet. David Lynch appears to be a close second to Christopher Nolan with Mulholland Drive and Eraserhead invoked more than once. People were also perplexed by Jake Gyllenhaal's breakout film Donnie Darko, 12 Monkeys starring Bruce Willis and Brad Pitt, Nicholas Cage's Adaptation, and Stanley Kubrick's film of A Clockwork Orange.Inception and Memento were bad enough, Tenet was worse:Inception, a load of pi$h, idea stolen from the matrix, Robert Jordan's wheel of time concept of Tel'aran'rhiod (unseen world, world of dreams) and a sci-film that starred Keanu reeves Johnny Mnemonic— Rebel Scot (@Ind3pendent7) November 24, 2021Christopher Nolan's films.Memento, Inception , Tenet. pic.twitter.com/GDdGpDXGQw— Catwoman (@4rosesfour) November 21, 2021Inception... the final scenes make my head hurt trying to figure it out.

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. Elon Musk has now sold around 9.2 million shares in Tesla since asking his Twitter followers whether he should offload 10% of his holding in the EV company.That means the Tesla chief executive is now more than halfway towards the target, which he vowed to honor.Musk owned over 170 million shares in Tesla in September, according to Bloomberg data, so to get rid of 10% of his stake he'd need to sell around 17 million shares.

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.
