Baseball’s postseason has a new three-game wild card format, and the wildest Game 1 on Friday ended with a six-run ninth inning by Philadelphia, powering the Phillies to stunning comeback victory against the Cardinals. In today’s Game 2 contest, St. Louis faces elimination in what could be the final game for future hall-of-famers Albert Pujols and Yadier Molina. The Phillies send ace Aaron Nola to the mound, and he’ll be opposed by Miles Mikolas. Game 2 starts today at 7:37 pm CT (8:37 pm ET) on ESPN2.

The Cardinals won the NL Central but finished behind the other two division winners — the Dodgers in the NL West and the Braves in the NL East — so must play in the first round instead of resting on a bye. They entered as the No. 3 seed against the Phillies, who are the No. 6 seeds as the last team to qualify for the playoffs in the National League.

Here’s the schedule for the Cards-Phillies series. All games will be played at Busch Stadium in St. Louis.

YouTube Live Q&A makes it easy to set up an AMA

YouTube has a new Live Q&A features to help you host dedicated question and answer sessions during livestreams.

Here’s how it works: when you start a Q&A as a creator, your prompt shows up as a pinned message at the top of your stream’s chat, and then viewers can submit their questions. When you find a question you want to discuss, you can pin it so that it’s featured and everyone knows what you’re responding to. To move on, you can pin another question, and it will replace what’s at the top of the list. When you’re done with the Q&A session, you can go back to a standard chatroom.

This dedicated Q&A tool could be a useful way for creators to have conversations directly with their audiences. Before now, they’d just have to field questions as they flood in the chat, but viewers who wander in mid-way through a Q&A might not know what’s going on or what question the streamer is responding to. Giving streamers the ability to pin prompts and questions might make those Q&As run more smoothly.

As YouTube continues to improve its livestreaming platform to compete with Twitch, the company has added a number of features to make its chats more enticing for streamers. Those additions include Super Chats, which let viewers pay to have a pinned comment, and Super Thanks, which is basically a tip. Live Q&A doesn’t directly help a streamer earn money, but if a viewer feels heard in a Q&A,

Elon Musk Takes Over Twitter, Fires Executives

Billionaire Elon Musk has completed a $44 billion deal to purchase Twittercapping off a tumultuous transition period for the influential social media company.

Twitter’s stock is being delisted on the New York Stock Exchange, confirming the deal has closed, according to a filing with US Securities and Exchange Commission on Friday. Twitter will operate as a private company rather than a publicly traded one.

The Washington Post, citing a person familiar with the matter, reported on Thursday evening that Musk’s takeover had begun. Musk fired key executives such as Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal, CFO Ned Segal and Vijaya Gadde, Twitter’s head of legal policy, trust and safety, The Post reported. CNBC and Insiders also reported that Musk is now in charge of Twitter.

Twitter, Agrawal, Segal and Gadde didn’t respond to a request for comment. Segal confirmed on Twitter that he’s no longer at the company.

Musk appeared to herald his new ownership situation late Thursday with a characteristically brief tweet saying, “the bird is freed.” He then tweeted on Friday “let the good times roll.”

By closing the deal, Musk avoided what could have been a messy public trial between him and Twitter. The social media company and Musk were initially scheduled to go head to head in a five-day trial on Oct. 17. A Delaware judge delayed the trial and gave Twitter and Musk until Friday to close the deal.

Elon Musk says he fired engineer who corrected him on Twitter

Twitter has seen thousands of layoffs, departures, and resignations since Elon Musk took over, but one of the latest staffing changes appears to have been personal — the company’s new CEO tweeted that Eric Frohnhoefer, an employee who had publicly argued with him on the platform , had been fired.

The saga started on Sunday, when Musk tweeted an apology for Twitter being slow in “many countries” and implied that the poor performance is because the app does over 1,000 “poorly batched” remote procedure calls to load the home timeline — basically saying the app has to reach out to other servers a bunch of times and wait for a response for each request. Frohnhoefer, who tweeted that he’s spent six years working on Twitter for Android, quote retweeted Musk’s statement saying it was incorrect. Musk has done the same thing several times in response to news stories about his companiesbut unlike those instances, Frohnhoefer actually went on to provide an explanation for why he thought his boss’s tweet was incorrect.

According to Frohnhoefer, Twitter actually makes zero remote procedure calls, or RPCs. Instead, he says, when the app starts up, it makes around 20 background requests. Seemingly to clarify his original tweet, Musk then responded, “The fact that you don’t realize that there are up to 1200 ‘microservices’ being called when someone uses the Twitter app is not great.” Frohnhoefer disagreed again, tweeting that the “number required to generate the home timeline is closer to

Elon Musk says Twitter will have a ‘content moderation council’

Elon Musk, Twitter’s new owner, says the company is setting up a council to make important moderation decisions at the company. In a tweet on Friday, Musk said the “council” will have “widely diverse viewpoints” and that “no major content decisions or account reinstatements will happen before that council convenes.” several hours later, he clarified his statement with a quote tweetexplaining that, “To be super clear, we have not yet made any changes to Twitter’s content moderation policies,” as he speedruns the experience of becoming a media exec.

The tweet doesn’t contain any details about what kind of viewpoints Musk is seeking to have on the council, how many people will be on it, how they’ll be appointed, or how it’s different from the content moderation and policy teams that already exist at the company.

Other social media companies have tried a seemingly similar approach — Meta has its oversight board, which is meant to be an independent organization that rules on Facebook’s platform and moderation decisions. However, critics have raised questions about how much power the board actually has to enforce its rulings. There’s also a web of potential legislation that could dictate how tech companies are able to moderate their platforms, which may limit what kind of moderation decisions Twitter and other platforms can make, regardless of what “free speech” ideals they’re aiming for.
