As the company temporarily closed its offices to staff, Twitter users began saying goodbye and linking to accounts on other platforms. #RIPTwitter, #TwitterDown, Mastodon and Myspace were all trending on the platform after the deadline on Musk’s ultimatum for the rest of the workforce to sign up for “long hours at high intensity” or leave. It is estimated that hundreds of the remaining staff chose to leave. The departures include many engineers responsible for fixing bugs and preventing service outages, raising questions about the stability of the platform amid the loss of workers and prompting hurried discussions among managers about who should be asked to return, they said now and former employees....

Police say Mathieu Godard and Jeremiah Mathias-Polson broke through a barrier at Parc Omega on the evening of November 10. A security guard who was present at the time noticed that a vehicle had illegally entered the park and notified the police. Moments later he heard gunshots. “Police quickly arrived and located and intercepted a vehicle. Both men were arrested. Police found four animal carcasses inside the vehicle,” Quebec provincial police spokesman Marc Tessier told The Canadian Press....

18.11.2022 1:06 Uhr Stimmen, die davor warnen, Deutschland sei zu abhängig von russischen Energielieferungen, gibt es erst nach der Krim-Annexion. Aber sie werden in der Bundesregierung nicht gehört. Während Altkanzlerin Merkel die Entscheidungen der Vorjahre verteidigt, spricht CDU-Urgestein Wolfgang Schäuble heute von Fehlern. Der frühere Bundestagspräsident und frühere Finanzminister Wolfgang Schäuble räumte frühere Fehler im Umgang mit Russland ein. Auf die Frage, ob er sauer auf sich selbst sei, sagte der CDU-Politiker dem Handelsblatt: „Das wollten wir natürlich nicht sehen, das gilt für alle....

Dam removal is expected to improve the health of the Klamath River, the route that Chinook salmon and endangered coho salmon take from the Pacific Ocean to their upstream spawning grounds and from which young fish return to sea. The US Federal Energy Regulatory Commission issued an order surrendering the dam permits and authorizing the removal of the dams. The project has long been the target of many indigenous tribes whose ancestors lived off salmon for centuries, but whose way of life was disrupted by European settlement and the demand for rural electrification in the 20th century....

Wer ist Wix? Wix wurde 2006 in Israel von Avishai Abrahami, Nadav Abrahami und Giora Kaplan gegründet. Die Idee entstand nach Unternehmensangaben „am Strand“, als die drei Gründer versuchten, eine Website aufzubauen. Ihre ersten Schritte waren entmutigend, die Entwicklung einer Homepage schwierig, sehr zeitaufwändig und vor allem teuer. Daraus entstand ihre Idee für ein eigenes Startup: eine Plattform zu schaffen, die es Nutzern ermöglicht, ohne Programmier- oder Designkenntnisse eine eigene Website zu erstellen, die zudem bezahlbar ist....

HOROSCOPES IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY You will get your way in most things this year, but there is one ambition that you will have to work very hard to make sure comes to fruition. Give your best shot and then give it again so people know you’re serious.

Many of them have been dredged, leveled or concreted. Those that remain are subject to unsustainable removals or are routinely used as sewage overflow pipes by for-profit corporations with little legal pressure for reform, and across the country rivers and streams are flooded with agricultural waste as it drains from farmland....

In a filing released late Thursday night, the Biden administration said the crown prince’s recent promotion to the role of prime minister meant he was “the acting head of government and therefore immune” from the lawsuit. “The United States government has expressed serious concerns about the horrific killing of Jamal Khashoggi and has expressed those concerns publicly and at the highest levels of the Saudi government,” the Justice Department said in its filing, adding that the U....

Wer sich mit dem Coronavirus infiziert und beschwerdefrei bleibt, muss sich ab heute in Schleswig-Holstein nicht mehr selbst isolieren. Stattdessen gilt künftig – außerhalb des eigenen Zuhauses – eine fünftägige Maskenpflicht in Innenräumen. Wie die Landesregierung mitteilte, passt das Gesundheitsministerium die Regeln für positiv auf das Coronavirus getestete Personen an: Ab heute müssen sich mit dem Coronavirus infizierte Personen nicht mehr in Isolation begeben. Dies regelt ein neuer Erlass vom Mittwoch, 16....

Publié hier à 20h43. Dylan Robertson La Presse canadienne « Si nous ne soulevons pas la question des droits de la personne lorsque nous sommes dans des pays où nous savons que les droits de la personne sont violés, nous n’avons aucune autorité morale », a déclaré la porte-parole du NPD aux affaires étrangères, Heather McPherson.

In several formal motions filed on behalf of Anderson Lee Aldrich on Tuesday, public defenders refer to the suspect as “Mx. Aldrich,” noting in footnotes that Aldrich, 22, is non-binary and uses their pronouns. The motions are about issues such as the unsealing of documents and the collection of evidence, not Aldrich’s identity, and there was no clarification on that. Aldrich, who was beaten by patrons during Saturday night’s shooting at Club Q, was scheduled to appear in court for the first time Wednesday via video from jail....

Comment BAGHDAD — A U.S.-backed Syrian enclave is bracing for attacks by Turkish forces as its top commander called on Washington to do more to oppose the threatened ground invasion. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s forces launched airstrikes, drones and artillery on towns and cities in northeastern Syria for a fourth day on Wednesday. About 18 civilians and three soldiers were killed in the attacks, according to the Syrian Democratic Forces, the US-backed forces in the region....

The lake-effect storm is expected to dump up to four feet of snow in Buffalo by Sunday, and the National Weather Service has warned it has the potential to “paralyze the hardest-hit communities” in and around Western New York. But Environment Canada meteorologist Geoff Coulson tells CP24 that southwesterly winds throughout the weekend should mean the GTA will be largely sheltered from the brunt of the storm. Lake-effect snow develops when cold air flows over the warmer waters of the Great Lakes....

Pelosi’s decision to either seek another term as Democratic leader or resign was widely expected. It would come after the party managed to fend off an expected wave of Republicans in the House and Senate, and in the wake of a violent attack on her husband, Paul, late last month by an intruder in their San Francisco home. “The President plans to address her future plans to her colleagues tomorrow....

The videos, which were posted to Instagram on Thursday by user blackvancouver, include a detailed description of the events from the perspective of the person who recorded them. That account claims workers at the fast food restaurant confused the group of teenagers with a different group involved in an incident on Halloween. The workers called the police, who arrived and began questioning the teenagers. The post claims the group cooperated with police and that the handcuffed girl was assaulted by officers after she asked to go to the bathroom because police believed she had not given them all the information they had requested....

What Jeremy Hunt did not make clear in today’s autumn statement was that living standards are set to fall by 7% over the next two years, according to the independent Office for Budget Responsibility. Imagine turning the clock back to 2013, but not in a good way. Inflation will remain uncomfortably high next year as the protection against high energy bills diminishes. Taxes will rise over the next six years through a hidden freeze on tax-free rates that apply to everything from earnings to inheritances and national insurance contributions, so over time more of what you have is being sucked into the tax nets....

The RAF Voyager – the military equivalent of an Airbus A330 – took to the skies over Oxfordshire using waste-based fuels including used cooking oil. Sustainable aviation fuel, known as SAF, has the potential to reduce carbon emissions by up to 80%, according to the RAF. It is hoped their use will push the RAF closer to its net zero target by 2040, while reducing its reliance on global supply chains....
