Foreign Affairs / Israeli Jew Says To Christian Preacher: "The Godly Thing Is For Me To Kill You" by apoti(m): 11:58am On Nov 23, 2023 |
The Godly thing to do is to kill you. That’s what the Torah says.” Video footage captured a verbal altercation that took place when an Israeli approached a group of American Christian preachers who had been stopped by Israeli police for unknown reasons. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lq28ZFNzaWM?si=Zi4fSiNcfkzZH2Lk |

Business / Elon Musk Overtaken As World's Richest Person By LVMH Chairman Bernard Arnault by apoti(m): 1:09pm On Dec 14, 2022 |
Twitter and Tesla CEO Elon Musk is no longer the richest person in the world after being usurped by LVMH chairman and CEO Bernard Arnault. According to Forbes' real-time billionaires list, the 51-year-old's net worth decreased by $4.5bn (-2.9%) in comparison to Arnault, who oversees some 70 fashion and cosmetic brands, whose rose by $849m (0.46%). Arnault's net worth is listed as $187.3bn (£151.1bn) on the Forbes list. Musk's $176.8bn (£142.6bn) real-time net worth is based largely on his 25% ownership of Tesla, but stocks closed down 6.87% for the day today. Stocks of the automotive company have more than halved in value this year partially due to a sell-off that accelerated in the wake of Musk's $44bn (£35.5bn) Twitter acquisition, CNBC reports, where he sold off approximately $4bn (£3.2bn) of Tesla stock. Forbes said that the businessman's wealth peaked in November 2021 when he was worth $320bn (£258bn). The Bloomberg Billionaires Index, which uses slightly different methodologies, was updated on Wednesday and also ranked Musk's fortune behind Arnault. Musk had been the world's richest man since September 2021, taking over from Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos. Much of Musk's wealth is tied up in his private companies including rocket and internet firm SpaceX, infrastructure and tunnel construction services company The Boring Company, and Neuralink, which wants to put computer chips in people's brains. According to Bloomberg, SpaceX, formerly known as Space Exploration Technologies Corp, is valued at around $140bn (£112.9bn) and dominates the market for commercial space launch. Musk's dip in global wealth rankings comes shortly after he was greeted with "a lot of boos" during an awkward on-stage appearance at a Dave Chappelle comedy show in San Francisco. In a clip posted to the mogul's Twitter account, Chappelle is seen asking audience members to "make some noise for the richest man in the world". They promptly oblige, though likely not in the way either of the men intended. Trying to interject the hostile reaction, Musk spent most of the five-minute appearance awkwardly standing still or pacing around on stage. In a now deleted tweet, Musk insisted that the crowd was "90% cheers" and "10% boos," which were a result of having offended "San Francisco's unhinged leftists". A day after his appearance with Chappelle, Twitter dissolved its Trust and Safety Council, which was formed in 2016 to address hate speech, child exploitation, suicide, self-harm and other problems on the platform. Shortly after buying Twitter for $44bn in late October, Musk said he would form a new "content moderation council" to help make major decisions, but later changed his mind. Last week, three council members announced they were resigning in a public statement posted on Twitter that said "contrary to claims by Elon Musk, the safety and wellbeing of Twitter's users are on the decline". https://news.sky.com/story/elon-musk-overtaken-as-worlds-richest-person-by-lvmh-chairman-bernard-arnault-12767789

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / David Beckham Is 'Open To Talks' Over Manchester United Takeover by apoti(m): 4:38am On Nov 24, 2022 |
David Beckham has said he is open to holding talks with any potential buyers of Manchester United, according to reports. Beckham is unable to afford the Premier League giants by himself but could form part of an investment consortium to purchase the club. Beckham's involvement could be beneficial for any prospective buyers given his long-standing history with the club.www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/sportsnews/article-11463607/amp/David-Beckham-open-talks-Man-Utd-takeover.html 11 Likes 3 Shares

Business / Twitter Is Planning To Start Charging $20 Per Month For Verification by apoti(m): 7:59am On Oct 31, 2022 |
Now that he owns Twitter, Elon Musk has given employees their first ultimatum: Meet his deadline to introduce paid verification on Twitter or pack up and leave. The directive is to change Twitter Blue, the company’s optional, $4.99 a month subscription that unlocks additional features, into a more expensive subscription that also verifies users, according to people familiar with the matter and internal correspondence seen by The Verge. Twitter is currently planning to charge $19.99 for the new Twitter Blue subscription. Under the current plan, verified users would have 90 days to subscribe or lose their blue checkmark. Employees working on the project were told on Sunday that they need to meet a deadline of November 7th to launch the feature or they will be fired. Musk has been clear in the months leading up to his acquisition that he wanted to revamp how Twitter verifies accounts and handles bots. On Sunday, he tweeted: “The whole verification process is being revamped right now.” Platformer’s Casey Newton first reported that Twitter was considering charging for verification. A spokesperson for Twitter didn’t respond to a request for comment by press time. Even though he is barely three days into being “Chief Twit,” Musk has moved quickly to make changes at Twitter, first by changing its homepage for logged out users. With the help of Tesla engineers he has brought into Twitter as advisors, he’s also planning mass layoffs aimed at middle managers and engineers who haven’t recently contributed to the code base. Those cuts are expected to begin this week with managers already creating lists of employees to cut. Employees tasked with executing projects of Musk’s since he took control Thursday evening have been working late into the night and over the weekend. The Twitter Blue subscription launched widely almost a year ago as a way to view ad-free articles from some publishers and make other tweaks to the app, such as a different color home screen icon. In the few quarters that Twitter reported earnings as a public company after that debut, advertising remained the vast majority of its revenue. Musk is keen on growing subscriptions to become half of the company’s overall revenue. https://www.theverge.com/2022/10/30/23431931/twitter-paid-verification-elon-musk-blue-monthly-subscription

Foreign Affairs / Elon Musk Could Buy Twitter TODAY As Talks Reach 'Final Stages' by apoti(m): 1:00pm On Apr 25, 2022 |
Elon Musk is closing in on seizing Twitter as talks between the Tesla magnate and the tech giant enter their final stages, reports say. The billionaire could take over the company as soon as this morning as the board reportedly looked set to accept his offer of $54.20 per share. The tycoon's representatives were said to be hammering out terms including a timeline and fees if an agreement was signed and then fell apart. The two sides were reportedly working into the early morning to finalize the fluid and fast-moving negotiations. It comes a fortnight after Musk first sought to woo shareholders with his $54.20-per-share bid. Representatives for Musk and Twitter met to discuss the prospective $43 billion sale Sunday, with the Wall Street Journal reporting that progress had been made. It is unclear whether Musk himself attended those talks. They come two days after he met privately with actively-managed funds which hold shares in Twitter, in a bid to convince them to take-up his offer. The paper said there were still issues to hash out after Sunday's meeting, and that there was no guarantee a final deal would be reached. Those issues are said to include what penalty Musk will pay should the deal fall apart before it is completed. Twitter rebuffed Musk's initial April 14 offer after he did not offer information on how he'd buy the network. The tycoon began to win over shareholders after revealing that he had secured financing with the help of Morgan Stanley, with half his stake in his car firm Tesla offered as collateral. Twitter's share price has rocketed since news of Musk's purchase of 9.2 per cent of the firm and initial offer, from around $39-a-share to $48.93 when the markets closed Friday. That is still below Musk's offer, which he has always insisted will be the only one he makes. Musk, chief executive of electric car giant Tesla, has been meeting with Twitter shareholders in the last few days, seeking support for his bid. He has said Twitter needs to be taken private to grow and become a genuine platform for free speech. Earlier on Sunday, Musk had tweeted that he was 'moving on' to his more than 83 million followers, leaving many in the lurch as to what he was moving on from for several hours. Musk eventually clarified the tweet was in reference to 'making fun of Gates for shorting Tesla while claiming to support climate change action,' and not moving on from takeover bid talks with Twitter. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10751017/Elon-Musk-seize-Twitter-TODAY-talks-reach-final-stages.html?ito=social-twitter_mailonline |
Foreign Affairs / Colin Powell, 84, Dies From Covid by apoti(m): 1:12pm On Oct 18, 2021 |
Former Secretary of State Colin Powell has died due to complications from COVID. He was 84 years old. His family released a statement on Facebook saying: 'General Colin L.

Education / THE World University Rankings 2022: Seven Nigerian Universities Make The List by apoti(m): 9:23am On Sep 02, 2021 |
World University Rankings 2022 The Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2022 include more than 1,600 universities across 99 countries and territories, making them the largest and most diverse university rankings to date. The table is based on 13 carefully calibrated performance indicators that measure an institution’s performance across four areas: teaching, research, knowledge transfer and international outlook. This year’s ranking analysed more than 108 million citations across over 14.4 million research publications and included survey responses from almost 22,000 scholars globally. Overall, we collected over 430,000 datapoints from more than 2,100 institutions that submitted data. Trusted worldwide by students, teachers, governments and industry experts, this year’s league table reveals how the Covid-19 pandemic has started to shift global higher education performance. The University of Oxford tops the ranking for the sixth consecutive year, while mainland China has two institutions in the top 20 for the first time: Peking University and Tsinghua University share 16th place. Institut Polytechnique de Paris is the highest new entry at 95th place, following a merger of five institutions. The US is the most-represented country overall with 183 institutions, and also the most represented in the top 200 (57), although its share of universities in this elite group is falling. Mainland China now has the joint fifth highest number of institutions in the top 200 (up from joint seventh last year), overtaking Canada and on a par with the Netherlands. Six new countries feature in the table compared with last year: Azerbaijan, Ecuador, Ethiopia, Fiji, Palestine and Tanzania. Harvard University tops the teaching pillar, while the University of Oxford tops the research pillar and Macau University of Science and Technology leads the international pillar. Overall, 1,662 universities are ranked. A further 452 universities are listed with “reporter” status, meaning that they provided data but did not meet our eligibility criteria to receive a rank. https://www.timeshighereducation.com/world-university-rankings/2022/world-ranking#!/page/0/length/25/sort_by/rank/sort_order/asc/cols/stats
