The hits don’t stop coming for Twitter users. This weekend, the platform’s owner Elon Musk claimed he’s imposing a limit to the number of tweets an average non-Blue user can read. In the aftermath, Twitter’s dashboard application Tweetdeck failed spectacularly.
Ali Selim was tapped to direct Secret Invasion—Marvel’s six-episode limited series on Disney+—precisely because of his work on spycraft historical fiction. But it seems like his focus on the “grounded” world of Secret Invasion meant that he didn’t think much about the superheroes flying around in the rest of the MCU.
Scientists testing coffee against plain caffeine found that plain caffeine only partially reproduces the effects of drinking a cup of coffee, activating areas of the brain that make you feel more alert but not the areas of the brain that affect working memory and goal-directed behavior.

Jason Blum’s Spawn remake is for sure in the works, even though there’s no writing happening due to the producers’ and studios’ continued refusal to bargain fairly. He says 2025—maybe.

Inflation has made everything from grocery shopping to home-owning more expensive, but it’s hitting Lego fans especially hard.

The billionaire space race is continuing to expand across the globe. Jeff Bezos-owned Blue Origin has announced plans to expand its operations to “Europe and beyond,” the Financial Times reports. Part of this growth hinges on finding a site for an international launch facility — the company has already put down roots in Texas, Washington, Florida and Alabama — but the new location hasn’t been chosen yet. It’s also actively looking for fresh acquisitions and partnerships outside of the US in areas such as manufacturing and software.
“We’re looking for anything we can do to acquire, to scale up to better serve our customers,” Bob Smith, Blue Origin CEO, said. “It’s not a function of size — rather how much it accelerates our road map of what we’re trying to get done.” Last year, Blue Origins bought New York-based Honeybee Robotics, a move that appears successful: The space-based robotics company was part of the Blue Origin team that recently received $3.4 billion to build the lunar lander for NASA’s third Artemis mission. Blue Origin’s biggest competitor, Elon Musk’s SpaceX, is handling the first and second Artemis moon landings.
Though Blue Origin was the first to launch, land and reuse a rocket successfully, it has fallen behind its rival due to hold-ups with building its launchers. Blue Origin’s plans for a more global footprint might help them catch up with SpaceX’s progress. Amazon’s Project Kuiper also plans to use Blue Origin’s rocket New Glenn for at least 12 launches between 2024 and 2029 after a few years of delays.
