Their 2-0 start is a distant memory after Sunday night’s 23-16 loss in Green Bay. New York is now 2-3, suddenly chasing everyone else in the NFC East. FANTASY: Week 6 waiver wire pickups Based on the numbers, Manning (18 of 35, 199 yards, TD, 3 sacks, 78.2 rating, fumble lost) was slightly more efficient than the Packers’ Aaron Rodgers. But the eye test says Manning really blew it for Big Blue....
From a Raid, a Reunion Never in my 39 years did I ever think I would be embarrassed to be an American, but after seeing the government “storm troopers” pointing a gun at a terrified Elián, my patriotic pride is shattered. Shame on you, Janet Reno. Hanna Clayton Springfield, Tenn. My God, what a frightening sight your May 1 cover was. You made that INS agent look like a female version of the Devil, carrying poor little Elián off to the bowels of hell....

St. Mary Episcopal School tweeted on Tuesday: “This morning our faculty and staff started the day in chapel. We lit candles to remember Liza who was a bright light in our community. Liza embodied the song that we sing every week in Early Childhood chapel, ‘This little light of mine, I’m going to let it shine.’” A video of Fletcher singing this song for her pre-kindergarten students has been widely shared on Twitter since she was abducted last Friday....
Holmes, 38, filed a request of leniency last week with U.S. District Judge Edward Davila, and among the documents were letters from more than 130 friends, family and former Theranos employees. The biotechnology entrepreneur’s highly-publicized trial ended in January with her being found guilty on three counts of wire fraud and one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud by lying to investors. She was found not guilty on four counts related to defrauding Theranos patients, while the jury didn’t reach a verdict on three counts of deceiving investors....
“Facebook holds incredible power to affect elections and our national debate. They’ve decided to let political figures lie to you—even about Facebook itself—while their executives and their investors get even richer off the ads containing these lies,” Warren tweeted. “Once again, we’re seeing Facebook throw its hands up to battling misinformation in the political discourse, because when profit comes up against protecting democracy, Facebook chooses profit.” Warren has repeatedly targeted Facebook and its CEO personally in her battle against Big Tech, reinforcing her role as a David confronting capitalist Goliaths....
Instead of speaking to a real, empathetic audience like DeGeneres usually does, she spoke to an empty studio full of television screens, each one holding the pixelated face of a viewer who got to witness DeGeneres’ return; one that doesn’t seem entirely welcomed just yet, according to Twitter conversations. The screens erupted in laugh-track noises and applause, encompassing the room like a normal show. Only, instead of coming from the faces of a TV audience, they came from the oversized and pixelated faces of those who were selected to be a part of Ellen’s remote return to TV....
Elmo’s Twitter page released a tweet on Wednesday addressing the popularity of the clips. On Wednesday, Elmo tweeted: “Don’t worry everybody!

Bitcoin was down about 5.5 percent at the time of writing, having experienced two sharp tumbles in price starting from Thursday night. The cryptocurrency is trading at about $36,450, and its market cap—the total value of bitcoin’s circulating supply—is around $680 billion. Musk, the CEO of SpaceX and Tesla, posted his tweets after the token had already dropped in price a little, and another quick drop followed. At around 9 P....
The billionaire also pulled on a classic Monty Python sketch to give an analogy of the current situation on the social media site which he now owns. After completing his takeover of Twitter, Musk has been banding around ideas of changes to make which have included new fees and bringing back Vine. Musk had openly considered charging $20 for users to keep a blue check mark on their accounts, before settling on and announcing an $8 system....
“I’m thinking of creating a ‘Super Moderate Super PAC’ that supports candidates with centrist views from all parties,” Musk, who has previously described himself as a “moderate,” said on Twitter. He made the remarks in response to a Twitter user who asked if his political donations “will be evenly spread out, as you do always.” Super PACs are independent organizations that can raise unlimited amounts of money to campaign for or against office-seekers, unlike traditional candidate committees....
“I will resign as CEO as soon as I find someone foolish enough to take the job!” Musk tweeted Tuesday night. “After that, I will just run the software & servers teams.” The announcement from the “Chief Twit,” a self-assigned nickname, follows a poll Musk posted over the weekend asking users if he should “step down as head” of the company, in which 57.5 percent of the more than 17....
The offer, which comes after the Tesla CEO bought a 9.2 percent stake in Twitter but decided not to take a seat on the board, sent Twitter shares surging by as much as 10 percent in pre-market trade. Musk’s decision not to take a boardroom seat gave him the flexibility to acquire more shares of the social media platform. Musk, the world’s richest man, told Twitter’s chairman, Bret Taylor, that he believes under his leadership the social media platform’s potential could be unlocked....
Taking place at a SpaceX site in Texas, the most recent iteration became the first full-scale Starship prototype to pass the crucial test following a series of setbacks with prior models including the MK1, SN1 and SN3, NasaSpaceFlight.com reported. The cryogenic proof test—which fills the ship with liquid nitrogen to ensure it is able to survive in flight pressure conditions—was previously successful in the SN2 prototype, but that was not a full-scale build....
The billionaire technologist has been using social media to update his 29.7 million followers with details about the vehicle’s pre-orders since November 23, when he wrote that Tesla had attracted 146,000 pre-orders since the headline-grabbing reveal in California two days prior. Musk teased at the time that 42 percent of Cybertruck converts opted for a dual motor all-wheel drive, 41 percent the tri-motor and 17 percent single motor. Since then, the CEO has been publishing brief tweets with fresh numbers....
The billionaire tech CEO responded after Reich, who is Chancellor’s Professor of Public Policy at the University of California, Berkeley, criticized Tesla for making workers take a pay cut during the COVID-19 pandemic, as Musk’s net worth soared. “Musk is a modern-day robber baron,” Reich said in a post that has attracted more than 24,000 shares and close to 80,000 “likes” on the platform at the time of writing....
The Cubs shipped him to the White Sox in 2017, however, in the deal that brought left-hander Jose Quintana to the North Side, so, for Jimenez, this was a chance to show his former organization what it was missing. Like he has done this year against other teams South Side fans dislike, Jimenez drilled a home run. His ninth-inning blast gave the White Sox a 3-1 victory. “It was everything,” Jimenez told reporters after the game....
Chicago to sign Schweinsteiger The 22-year-old, who plays for South African side Free State Stars, saw his video go viral after bizarrely thanking both his wife and his girlfriend, having being adjudged Man of the Match in the league clash with Ajax Cape Town. But, rather than dwell on the embarrassing slip of the tongue, Anas made a joke of the attention he has received. “I’m famous now - people around the world know me,” Anas explained, as reported by The Mirror....
Samsung Electronics - South Korea The premier emerging market brand is already better known than Sony, with an R&D budget larger than Intel’s and number one global market shares in memory chips and flat screens. Hyundai Motor - South Korea Known less than a decade ago as the butt of Jay Leno’s jokes on “The Tonight Show,” Hyundai last year passed Toyota in the J.D. Power car quality survey.
