The Golden State Warriors distanced themselves on Monday from minority owner Chamath Palihapitiya, who declared on a recent podcast appearance: “Nobody cares about what’s happening to the Uyghurs.” Palihapitiya, a venture capitalist and former Facebook and AOL executive, made the statement while speaking on the “All In” technology podcast that he co-hosts. The comments gained social media traction on Monday, including this post from Boston Celtics center Enes Kanter Freedom: “Nobody… Source link

Google offers many ambient sounds from the Google Assistant, including one for white noise that might help block out noise to make it easier to sleep or study. But the company seemingly changed its white noise sound last week, and many have expressed frustration with the update, as reported by 9to5Google. The change has been disruptive for a lot of people, as documented in this Google Nest community thread with more than 150 replies. Some described the new white noise as quieter or

It’s another day of bad news for Novak Djokovic. The No. 1-ranked men’s singles player might not be allowed to play at the French Open, the next Grand Slam on the schedule, because of his vaccination status.  Djokovic lost his appeal on Sunday to play in the Australian Open, closing a nearly two-week long saga over his unvaccinated status and attempt to enter the country with a visa and exemption. It is the first Grand Slam on the calendar as he chases a 21st Grand Slam victory that would… Source link

As conference play in college basketball starts to pick up, two players from the Big Ten have jumped to the top of the odds board for national player of the year. And one of those players wasn’t even on the board in early December. That player is Wisconsin sophomore Johnny Davis, who has tripled his scoring average from last year. As a freshman, Davis averaged 7.0 points and 4.1 rebounds per game. This year, he is up to 21.7 points and 7.5 rebounds per game for the Badgers, who are currently… Source link

If there’s a word that can sum up the Dallas Cowboys‘ 2021 season it’s this: discipline. As in, a lack thereof.  The Cowboys watched their season crater in Sunday’s NFC wild-card loss to the San Francisco 49ers, and it happened in perhaps what should have been predictable fashion. Sure, the end-of-game execution on Dak Prescott‘s failed QB sneak and spike was big. But there’s no way we can overlook the impact of the huge holding call in the first quarter (see below) or the delay of game… Source link

Earnings season is heating up this week. Even with one fewer trading day as markets are closed in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day Monday, investors will come back from the holiday weekend to a prolific lineup of fourth quarter reports from market heavyweights such as Goldman Sachs (GS), Proctor & Gamble (PG), Netflix (NFLX) and United Airlines (UAL). The period kicked off in earnest last week with lackluster results from major U.S. banks. JPMorgan (JPM), Wells Fargo (WFC), and… Source link

Coming into this past weekend, we only had 13 NFL games left until September, so complaining about any of them seems a little ungrateful. But let’s be honest … several of the allegedly “super” wild-card matchups in the NFL playoffs stunk like those Thanksgiving leftovers you just discovered in the back of the fridge. Sure, two of the games came down to the last possession. But two others were all but unwatchable from the jump. The Bucs and Bills hung a combined 58 points – Tampa Bay 31,… Source link

Guy Ritchie’s new action thriller, starring Jake Gyllenhaal, is set to shoot in Alicante, Spain later this month, doubling it for Afghanistan. The Amazon film centres on Sergent John Kinley (Gyllenhall) and local interpreter Ahmed who are the remaining survivors of an ambush during a patrol in Afghanistan. After Ahmed has carried injured Kinely to safety with the local militias on their tail, Ahmed and his family are denied access to the US as promised. Kinley returns to the warzone with… Source link

Betty White would’ve turned 100 Monday, and Google is honoring the TV legend in a unique way. When you type her name into the search engine, rose petals flutter on the screen, along with a message that reads, “Thank you for being a friend.” It’s a tribute to her role as Rose Nylund on “The Golden Girls,” whose legendary theme song includes the well-known and oft-repeated line, “Thank you for being a friend.” Google shows its love for Betty White on her 100th birthday.Via Google
