Football #OSUTwitter was buzzing after another Cowboys’ win, and a momentous reunion. Published 3 hours agoon October 2 It definitely wasn’t always pretty — I have a feeling none of the remaining games will be — but the Cowboys are 5-0 for the first time in six years. Also, on-site was Oklahoma State’s 2011 Big 12 championship team, including rarely-seen wideout Justin Blackmon. As you could imagine, #OSUTwitter was active during and after the game. Here are some of the best reactions to come across my timeline. The long-awaited return of the GOAT. No, another GOAT. #OKState receiver Tay Martin met Justin Blackmon before the game. They shook hands.Martin: "I probably won't wash it again for a month."— Jacob Unruh (@jacobunruh) October 3, 2021 It was a day for meeting your idols. #okstate coach Mike Gundy said he took Barry Sanders in the locker room to see the running backs.He said Jaylen Warren looked like he saw Santa Claus.— Marshall Scott (@MarshallScottOK) October 3, 2021 To the field, Warren was (once again) OSU’s hero on offense.

(Reuters) – Former U.S. President Donald Trump asked a federal judge in Florida to force Twitter to reinstate his account, Bloomberg News reported late on Friday.In July Trump sued (https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-says-he-is-suing-facebook-twitter-google-claiming-bias-2021-07-07 Twitter), Facebook Inc and Alphabet Inc’s Google, as well as their chief executives, alleging they unlawfully silence conservative viewpoints.Trump’s request for a preliminary injunction against Twitter was filed late on Friday in Miami, claiming the social media company canceled his account in January under pressure from his political rivals in Congress, the report said.Twitter declined to comment.

President Muhammadu Buhari said Friday that Twitter must meet the Nigerian government’s five conditions before the suspension of the social media platform will be lifted. Mr Buhari said this during his televised broadcast on Friday to mark Nigeria’s 61st independence anniversary. He listed the conditions to include the fact that Twitter must pay attention to national security and cohesion; registration, physical presence and representation in Nigeria; dispute resolution and local content. I have directed that the suspension be lifted but only if the conditions are met, the Nigerian leader said. The Nigerian government suspended Twitter’s operations in June after the social media network deleted a controversial tweet by President Buhari. The suspension has been condemned by many Nigerians, activists and the international community as a clampdown on the freedom of expression. The information minister, Lai Mohammed, recently said Twitter was already meeting a lot of the demands by the Nigerian government and the suspension will be lifted soon.

Twitter has unveiled an in-development tool that will enable users to display a verified NFT as their profile picture. Mada Aflak, a senior software engineer at Twitter, shared a video demonstrating functionality that allows users to add NFTs to their accounts. Users can simply edit their profile, connect a cryptocurrency wallet, and import their OpenSea collection. Then, they can choose an avatar from their collection of non-fungible token (NFT) digital art. The profile picture will also be marked with a badge to verify that the image is the genuine article, thereby allowing them to flex their hugely expensive CryptoPunk or Bored Ape profile picture and have everyone know it’s legit. Aflak stated that the run-through was just an experiment using a mock-up, so anything could change, and she called on users to submit feedback and suggestions. As promised, here is the first experiment. Feedbacks and ideas are welcome :) https://t.co/TDyhibCXfG pic.twitter.com/2ifru9T2Pa — Mada Aflak (@af_mada) September 29, 2021 While the verified profile pic is generating all the excitement so far, Messari Research Analyst Mason Nystrom speculated on other potential applications of Twitter integrating crypto wallets. These could include verifying how long a user has owned an asset, recommending follows for…

(Bloomberg) -- The politician set to become Japan’s next prime minister may not be all that savvy on social media -- but a photo of his favorite food struck a chord with Twitter users overnight after he was elected to lead the nation’s ruling party. While Fumio Kishida’s first post as the leader of the Liberal Democratic Party got a little over 30,000 likes, a picture of his dinner on Wednesday garnered more than four times as many clicks. “When I got home, my wife Yuko made me okonomiyaki, because I had said I love the dish she makes for me on Instagram live,” Kishida tweeted. “It’s always super delicious, but today it was so delicious I won’t forget it for a lifetime. Thank you.” Kishida Secures Japan Premier Job, and Now Must Win Over VotersFor those not familiar with okonomiyaki, it’s a savory pancake filled with cabbage that’s cooked on a griddle, with various extras like meat and fish and topped with sauce. A variation of the dish is a regional specialty in Osaka and is considered a soul food for Hiroshima, Kishida’s constituency. He is by no means a prominent voice among politicians on Twitter, with just around 180,000 followers. That’s a…
