A Malaysian minister has insisted that big tech companies such as Google, Facebook and X (formerly Twitter) must comply with Malaysian laws to continue operating in the country, and said the government is open to discussions with industry groups about proposed regulations that would require social media companies to obtain licenses to operate in the country.

Some will be claimed on waivers to find new teams. Many more will end up on practice squads.…

Former UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman is taking issue with how quickly MMA fans can turn on fighters. Usman (20-4 MMA, 15-3 UFC) is in unfamiliar territory, having lost three straight bouts – two title fights against Leon Edwards and one last-minute middleweight bout against Khamzat Chimaev at UFC 294. Before his three-fight losing streak, Usman had gone more than nine years unbeaten and had defended his title five times, and he compared his current form to former champions Israel Adesanya and Alexander Volkanovski, saying people have already forgotten what they’ve achieved. “For a long time, I just kept entertaining.…

For the past four years, dozens of people have appeared in the YouTube comments section every day to express their love and appreciation for the content: a two-minute, six-second deep buzzing sound that sounds like a cell phone vibrating on a table, punctuating a somewhat hallucinatory animation of swirling stained glass. Not a good video. But it wasn’t meant to be. The video is titled “The Sound of Water Removing from a Phone Speaker (I Guarantee).” There are many others like it. And the comments (what many call the “community”) are mostly people who have just gotten their phones wet…
