“This is a message from Anonymous for Elon Musk,” a person wearing the group’s signature Guy Fawkes mask said in a video posted on YouTube and Facebook on Saturday. “For the past several years you have enjoyed one of the most favorable reputations of anyone in the billionaire class because you have tapped into the desire that many of us have to live in a world with electric cars and space exploration, but recently your carefully created public image is being exposed and people are beginning to see you as nothing more than another narcissistic rich dude who is desperate for attention,” they continued....

However, new details about the Black Ops 2 multiplayer maps has once again leaked online, and confirmed the names of each arena, along with a giving a brief description of each. All of those maps featured in the leaked information are once again described in this post, along with a few new ones as well. Boasting potentially 14 maps in total (not including the Nuketown 2025 pre-order bonus), Black Ops 2 promises to be as robust an offering as the Call of Duty series has seen yet....

And once again, the speculation begins on how the Texans will handle the future years on their iconic star’s lucrative contract. I raised a similar question last year — after the three-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year had missed 24 games through 2016 (back surgery) and 2017 (fractured leg) — wondering whether Houston would bring him back in 2018 under his scheduled salary of $11 million or ask him to take a pay cut with incentives as part of a restructured deal....

The administration wants no part of another war with Saddam, even with Iraq in a weakened condition. Instead, Washington decided to ratchet up the rhetoric last week. Bush complained about helicopter attack on the rebels by Saddam’s forces and said he was “warning them: do not do this.” Gen. H. Norman Schwarzkopf, the allied commander in the region, warned Baghdad not to send fixed-wing warplanes aloft for any reason. U....

The 16-year-old became Barca’s youngest ever goalscorer in the top flight when he came off the bench to score in the 2-2 draw with Osasuna prior to the international break. With Luis Suarez fit enough only for the bench and Lionel Messi still not risked due to a calf problem, head coach Ernesto Valverde handed Fati his first start at Camp Nou for the visit of Valencia. The winger responded by opening the scoring after only two minutes, drilling home from Frenkie de Jong’s low cross from the right....

Specifically, some players are reporting that they are occasionally encountering invisible bosses during their time with Anthem. While these reports suggest that this bug is not specific to any one boss in particular, there is now video evidence that it can occur with the Swarm Tyrant in the Tyrant Mine stronghold. This evidence comes from Reddit user Zenro45, who has recently shared footage of an encounter with an invisible Swarm Tyrant....

During the EA E3 2018 press conference, developer BioWare answered that question directly. The developer confirmed that Anthem will not have loot boxes, something which will come as great news to many prospective players of the game. The game will have vanity microtransactions, explained BioWare, but players will always know what they’re paying for. There will be no randomization meaning that the vanity loot players unlock will not be subject to loot box odds....

“I did one in Detroit, man, my kids just murdered me,” Gentry said, laughing. “They go, ‘Dad that’s the worst acting I ever saw in my life. Please don’t do those anymore. The kids at our school are killing us.’ I can’t wait till my kids get down here and see these. My 15-year-old is going to kill me.” Oh, how Gentry would love to rewind to those preseason days, when the resentment of his teenaged child was high on the list of his concerns....

First, the Warriors lost Kevin Durant to an Achilles injury and then Klay Thompson tore his ACL. And now the Lakers have reportedly acquired Anthony Davis. The West is going to look a whole lot different next year, there is now way around it. So who are the five favorites to win the conference now that Davis is with the Lakers? We have some thoughts. We’ll see if you agree or disagree....

If there’s a player who correlates best with Griffin around the league — a star big man who is languishing on a mediocre team, surrounded by trade rumors that have gone nowhere — it’s the Pelicans’ Anthony Davis. But, like Griffin up until the last week or two, Davis has been declared untouchable by New Orleans’ brass. That won’t change between now and next week’s trade deadline. Pelicans general manager Dell Demps won’t trade Davis, and the only way he will go is if Demps is replaced after the year is over....

Wilder retained his WBC heavyweight title after the judges returned a split decision that earned much ire from pundits and fans, with most considering Fury the victor despite having to twice climb off the canvas. Join DAZN and watch Canelo plus more than 100 fight nights a year It now remains to be seen what direction Wilder goes in, with a rematch against Fury and the winner facing Joshua later in 2019 one possibility....

But in short order, Joshua faced top contenders Dillian Whyte, Dominic Breazeale and former long-time reigning champion Wladimir Klitschko. The 28-year-old faces another tough test as he defends his IBF and WBA championships on Saturday, battling WBO champion Joseph Parker in a heavyweight title unification bout. Even though the undefeated Joshua fought some of the best the division has to offer, he feels Parker is the most technical boxer he’s ever faced....

Joshua’s promoter at Matchroom Boxing, Eddie Hearn, addressed both of those questions in a recent interview. “The job over the next week is just to finalize the details now of just where and when that will be,” Hearn told Sky Sports News of the rematch. “I can’t tell you too much, just because I don’t know other than, between November 16 and December 14 will be the date of the fight....

UFC 281 pits long-time rivals Israel Adesanya and Alex Pereira for the middleweight title. The pair’s history dates back to their days as professional kickboxers. Adesanya and Pereira fought twice, with the Brazilian getting the better of the Nigerian-born New Zealander on both occasions. Adding to that, ‘Poatan’s’ second victory over ‘The Last Stylebender’ was a flush KO, which remains the only time Adesanya has been finished in his entire fighting career....

“Anti-masker threatens a woman, pushes an older guy, all while threatening to ‘f**k them up,’ then gets punched in the face and cries about ‘assault’—very satisfying,” a tweet accompanying the video read. The video, which originated on Reddit from user u/no-flash-photography before it made its way over to Twitter, begins with a man shown at a counter yelling at an employee and said, while pointing his finger in her face, that he was going to “f**k [their] restaurant up....

Rabbi Michael Schadick, of the Temple Emanuel in Grand Rapids, found the posters on Sunday morning on the synagogue’s front doors, reports The Jerusalem Post. Schadick said the doors where the posters were placed are the same ones children walk through to get to their Sunday school classes. One of the posters features an image of Adolf Hitler along with the words “Did you forget about me?” A second calls for a “crusade against Semite led subhumans....

In an average year, more than 10,300 hate crimes in the U.S. involve a firearm. During the period between 2017 and 2021, guns were the most frequently used weapon in the murder of trans people—the majority of which were of Black trans women. Anti-trans legislation and weak gun laws not only enable hate-fueled violence, they can also create mental health crises that put LGBTQ+ people at increased risk of suicide at a time where some state agencies are working to make suicide prevention resources less accessible to LGBTQ+ youth....

Brown’s unceremonious exit from the Buccaneers (and the NFL at large) in December led to a he-said, he-said saga between the wideout and the team. Brown, though, is eyeing his next move in the league. On a recent interview on “The Pivot Podcast,” the free agent wideout hinted that he’d welcome a move to the Lone Star State for the 2022 NFL season, issuing a thinly veiled message to Cowboys owner Jerry Jones....
