When the NBA showed player introductions at the NBA Finals for the first time in over a decade earlier this week, prolific social media personality “World Wide Wob” quipped that “NBA Twitter” might as well have a Board of Governors vote. Showing the introductions was just the latest adjustment the NBA and ESPN/ABC made on the fly, after digitally superimposing long-lost “Finals” logos on the court beginning in Game 2 after a bevy of fans and media—including FOS—lamented the lack of pageantry on display in the sport’s biggest games. The logos had also been missing from the court for over a decade, and there has been a general celebration among the faces of “NBA Twitter/X” that, at least in this case, bullying worked. “It does not take a genius to realize the most controversial trending Twitter topics about players were discussed on the broadcast, and the most viral complaints regarding the game presentation’s lack of pageantry were remedied the very next game,” World Wide Wob, a host for SiriusXM’s NBA channel and Bleacher Report whose real name is Rob Perez, told FOS. “I certainly commend the NBA for keeping the feedback line open and acting on what their fans desire

Boy, this is messy. Boy George picked a fight with J.K. Rowling on X (formerly Twitter) over the Harry Potter author’s controversial views on the transgender community. The feud started Saturday when the British DJ, 64, responded to a thread between Rowling, 59, and another user where she asked, “Which rights have been taken away from trans people?” J.K.

Rowling on X. boygeorge/Twitter But Rowling had a scathing response to the singer the next day. “There are many differences between us, George, but some are particularly relevant to this debate,” Rowling wrote, pointing out that George is a man, while she’s a woman, and that he’s “been wealthy and famous” since his early 20s, while Rowling didn’t make a name for herself until she was over 30.

Troy University is now offering classes on-site for Airmen at Shaw Air Force Base in Sumter, South Carolina, as part of a new educational partnership. The agreement, signed last fall, paved the way for TROY to begin teaching classes on base in January. The partnership was formally celebrated on Tuesday, June 17, with a signing ceremony at Shaw, featuring officials from both TROY and the base leadership. “At Troy University, we take great pride in our service to America’s military men and women and their families,” said Dr. Jack Hawkins, Jr., Chancellor. “Because of our long history of military support, TROY understands the unique needs of military students, and we remain committed to helping them succeed in their educational and career pursuits. We look forward to working with the leadership at Shaw to provide convenient access to TROY degree programs right here on base.” Through the new program, TROY will offer a variety of in-person classes at Shaw, including courses in communications, English, psychology, and leadership. Students enrolled at Shaw can also access TROY’s full slate of online courses while benefiting from on-site support and resources provided by University faculty and staff.

KANSAS CITY, Kan. — Isiah Gilliam established himself as the best player in the American Association. Now he’s taking his talents south of the border.  The Kansas City Monarchs’ star outfielder has signed with Tabasco in the Mexican League, the Monarchs announced Tuesday.  At the time of his departure, Gilliam led the AAPB with a .389 batting average, .478 on-base percentage and .770 slugging percentage. His 1.248 OPS ranks nearly 100 points above second place in the league.  “Isiah Gilliam’s not only the best player in this league, he could be the best player in Partner League baseball,” Monarchs manager Joe Calfapietra said. “We knew he was going to get an opportunity, it was just when and where. We’re incredibly excited for him.” Gilliam was on a tear leading up to his signing. Over his final 10 games with Kansas City, Gilliam hit .465 with a 1.445 OPS, four home runs and 13 RBIs.  Six 2025 Monarchs have now had their contracts transferred away from the team. Four have moved on to affiliated organizations with two, Gilliam and slugger Jhailyn Ortiz, heading to the Mexican League. “We wish Isiah all the best,” Calfapietra said. “This is a great thing for

Finance Minister Ishaq Dar addressing a session of National Assembly on April 26, 2023. PHOTO: TWITTER/ @NAofPakistan Listen to article Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar has strongly rejected what he called "irresponsible" and "fabricated" fake news circulating on social media, which falsely attributed to a senior Iranian general a claim that Pakistan would launch a nuclear strike on Israel in retaliation for any attack on Iran. Speaking in the Senate on Monday, Dar condemned the spread of false information in the wake of rising regional tensions and urged restraint amid escalating conflict between Israel and Iran. "Pakistan has made no such statement. This is an extremely irresponsible and fabricated claim," he said. He warned that "war is no joke" and reaffirmed that the country’s nuclear and missile programmes are purely for self-defence.

Over the past several years, many accounts – both personal and professional – have left X (formerly Twitter) for various reasons. Last Thursday, June 12, legendary metal label Nuclear Blast Records  revealed that they’re leaving the divisive social media platform (with no explicit reason given), leading to substantial confusion and contention amongst followers. Nuclear Blast Records’ Post + X’s Recent Divisiveness In their official announcement on X (which you can view below), Nuclear Blast Records wrote, “See ya!” next to a waving hand emoji. Also included in the tweet is an image stating: “We’re leaving X in 48 hours . . . But the riffs continue over on: Instagram, TikTok, Bluesky, Facebook, YouTube & Spotify. See you there!” That’s all they said, and as of this writing, their X account – which currently has over 231,000 followers – is still active (albeit with no newer posts). On that note, though, Nuclear Blast Records is far from the only significant account to declare that they’re bidding farewell to X over the last few years. For instance, iconic guitarist Slash announced his departure from X this past April. In 2024, Avenged Sevenfold vocalist M. Shadows issued his goodbye to X, too, as did Avatar frontman Johannes
