We finally got out first glimpse of the 2020-21 edition of the Kentucky Wildcats basketball team via their annual Pro Day. It was noticeably less packed than previous years, as they hosted all NBA scouts through Zoom instead of in-person. Among those virtually in attendance was Miami Heat president and Kentucky legend Pat Riley. We learned a little about this year’s team, such as BJ Boston is a stud, Isaiah Jackson looks like a freak of nature, and Olivier Sarr was worth the five month wait to get him eligible. Up next, Kentucky will host a virtual edition of Big Blue Madness on Nov. 20. Their first regular-season game comes Nov. 25 vs. Morehead State. Let’s see what social media had to say about the new Wildcats: Olivier Sarr is so skilled and smooth, just a perfect addition to this roster. Perfect complementary piece to Isaiah Jackson, who is pure athleticism and length. Would be shocked if we don't see them play together quite a bit.— Jack Pilgrim (@JackPilgrimKSR) November 13, 2020 I could watch this downhill driving drill all day. We keep hearing how competitive these dudes are. Three-play series to illustrate:Sarr yams on Jackson. Jackson swats driving Boston. Boston leaves no doubt with a soaring, cocked-back dunk against Jackson. Fun.— Kyle Tucker (@KyleTucker_ATH) November 13, 2020 Pretty much every player on this team seems to have something unique that they can contribute over the course of a season. And if they truly buy in defensively — Big Blue Drew (@BigBlueDrew33) November 13, 2020 Also, imagine being a five-star recruit right now. After watching Kentucky dominate the NBA Bubble, UK gets the first nationally televised CBB event of the year, and it's in front of scouts from all 30 NBA teams. https://t.co/tSxggw9Pm7— Jack Pilgrim (@JackPilgrimKSR) November 13, 2020 Lance…

Representative image&nbsp Key Highlights This would be Twitter's attempt to let users decide if they want to view graphic media that contains sexual content or nudity on their DMs According to a screenshot shared by Wong Twitter users would be able to enable or disable the ‘filter graphic media' option In a bid to let users decide if they want to view graphic media that contains sexual content or nudity on their direct messages or DMs, Twitter is working to introduce a new feature that filters graphic media in direct messages, according to reverse engineer Jane Manchun Wong. According to the reverse engineering expert, the micro-blogging site could roll out the feature only to DMs and the screenshot which Wong shared suggested that Twitter users would be able to enable or disable the ‘filter graphic media' option on their Twitter accounts. Once enabled, users would be able to see a 'warning' displayed over graphic content sent via DMs that potentially contain nudity or violence. Social media giants such as Twitter and Facebook have been battling to block sexual or sensitive content on their respective platforms for quite some time and this feature, when it sees the light of the day, would help in blocking violent or sexual content sent via DMs. Meanwhile, in a bid to give way to meaningful conversations this Diwali, earlier this week, Twitter India launched the Happy Diwali emoji which is extended out on a palm, and its flame sparkles when one opts for the Lights Out dark mode. The new #HappyDiwali emoji can be activated when the Twitteratti uses hashtags such as #LightUpALife, #EkZindagiKaroRoshan, #HappyDiwali, #HappyDeepavali, #Diwali, #Deepavali. It can also be activated when users use hashtags in regional Indian languages such as Hindi, Bengali, Odia, Gujarat among others. “Lately, many people are coming forward on Twitter…

It’s official. The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City happened. And it’s happening for an entire season on BravoTV. The newest installment in the Real Housewives franchise premiered Wednesday night and began trending on Twitter almost immediately. Less than an hour after the debut end, #RHOSLC was the No. 1 trending topic in the United States. So, yeah, it looks like this is going to be a thing. Variety called the show a “promising addition” to Bravo’s most successful franchise, which is pretty high praise for a show where one of the biggest drama points of episode was a tiff over one woman saying another castmate smelled like “hospital.” It’s so bad, even the poorest of writers wouldn’t make this up. Yet, according to the Twittersphere, it works. “Imagine you just leave the hospital dealing with family drama and your homegirl tells you, “hey so you smell like a hospital” #RHOSLC” imagine you just leave the hospital dealing with family drama and your homegirl tells you, “hey so you smell like a hospital” #RHOSLC pic.twitter.com/2zviMA9PMA — lauren.

A Tanishq commercial has yet again come under fire. A month after the jewellery brand faced severe outrage on Twitter by a section of netizens over a commercial that advocated inter-faith marriages, the jewellery brand that launched its current festive season's collection 'Ekatvam is facing backlash once more after it launched another commercial that advocated a ban on firecrackers.The commercial that features actresses Neena Gupta, Sayani Gupta, Alaya F and Nimrat Kaur shows the four women sitting and talking during Diwali. The women, while speaking of their plans for the festival, advocate a ban on firecrackers and talk about making this festive season all about being close to family and spending time with them.Several Twitter users criticised the commercial and accused it of trying to 'preach' how to celebrate Diwali. Several of them accused the brand of trying to polarise its consumers based on religious lines. Filmmaker Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri came down heavily on the commercial and accused the advertisement of trying to "kill tradition".This Diwali, let’s kill tradition, Hindu culture and promote consumerism.Because photoshopped secular models with fake smiles and VFX bodies loaded with regressive Gold jewellery will lead us to Ekatvam - the Vedic philosophy of Oneness. https://t.co/R0O3wfSHIO— Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri (@vivekagnihotri) November 8, 2020#Cadbury advts spread love happiness and positive festive messages, while #tanishq advts spread propaganda usinh festival as a tool .
