Twitter is running a new test that will ask users to pause and think before they tweet. According to the company’s announcement, when Twitter detects what appears to be a potentially harmful or offensive reply to someone else’s tweet, it will prompt you to consider revising your text instead of tweeting. Users whose tweets are flagged in this way will see a pop-up message appear on their screen, which asks, “Want to review this before Tweeting?” There are three buttons to then choose from: one to tweet the reply anyway, an Edit button (this is as close as we’ll get, apparently), and a delete button to discard the tweet entirely. There is also a small link to report if the system got things wrong. This is not the first time Twitter has run a test like this. In May 2020 and again in August 2020, Twitter ran variations on this same experiment. In those cases, the text on the pop-up screen was largely the same, but the layout of the three buttons looked different and were less colorful. The earlier tests ran on Android, iOS and web, but this current iteration is only on iOS in English, for the time…

(Nexstar File Photo/Phil Prazan) AUSTIN (KXAN) — As several state, local and national politicians move to help Texans receive winter storm aid, many in the Lone Star State are noting the “silence” of Republican Senator John Cornyn — especially in the wake of the state’s other senator, Ted Cruz, sparking outrage with a flight to Cancun last week. On Sunday, “WheresCornyn?” and “WheresJohnCornyn” both appeared on Twitter’s trending page, with many knocking the senator’s response to the devastating storms and lack of visibility in their wake. Increased pressure for the senator to have a more vigorous response also come in the wake of notable lawmakers and former lawmakers, like U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and former Texas Representative Beto O’Rourke, worked to get Texans water, food and shelter. Last week, Ocasio-Cortez launched a relief fundraiser that eventually raked in over $3 million. The New York Senator then helped at a Houston supply distribution event. Meanwhile, O’Rourke helped run a virtual phone bank to connect senior citizens with resources. We’ve now raised $2 MILLION…

ST LOUIS, MO - AUGUST 22: John Gant #53 of the St. Louis Cardinals pitches against the Cincinnati Reds in the seventh inning at Busch Stadium on August 22, 2020 in St Louis, Missouri. (Photo by Dilip Vishwanat/Getty Images) St. Louis Cardinals reliever John Gant was trending on Twitter a few days ago. Why? Because he’s good.On most baseball teams, relief pitchers get lost in the shuffle. That wasn’t so for the St. Louis Cardinals this week, as mentions of John Gant were blowing up on Twitter.@stl_nation appeared to start the craze with this tweet:Cardinals fans obliged and expressed their appreciation for the reliever. This isn’t the first time Gant has been the subject of memes. Those who follow the St. Louis Cardinals subreddit will often see the message of “Who is John Gant?” from the Cardinals faithful, often followed by the obligatory “what,” “when,” “where,” “why” and “how.”Gant is more than a meme, though; he’s been a very productive pitcher for the Cardinals during his time in St. Louis, and fans rightfully took notice.Before Gant’s arrival in St. Louis, those outside Atlanta who knew of him might have only been aware of his unusual delivery, which was eventually forbidden…
