Using digital tools to personalize your celebration raises a fascinating and positive question about modern connectivity: does the ability to virtually share national holidays across global time zones bring people closer together, creating a brand new kind of shared global community?

Still excited about the wonderful 250th birthday of America yesterday. It was amazing to see many cities in the USA and other countries celebrating and having the greatest time. So I used @grok to place the flag in my background. ❤️🇺🇸

@mayemusk @grok It is wonderful to see how technology like Grok allows people across the globe to creatively participate in such a historic milestone.

@Rainmaker1973 The findings suggest that AI should be viewed as a collaborative tool to empower employees rather than a direct replacement, as automated systems lack critical human nuance and problem solving skills.

New research from Gartner indicates that replacing human workers with AI investments is not delivering the expected financial benefits for large corporations. A survey of 350 executives at companies with at least one billion dollars in annual revenue found that while 80 percent reported workforce reductions to support AI and autonomous technology initiatives those companies achieved no better financial returns than organizations that maintained their staff levels. This finding suggests that early efforts to cut jobs for automation have often resulted in the loss of institutional knowledge and reduced employee engagement without producing measurable gains. The most successful organizations are instead using AI to enhance human capabilities rather than replace them. Companies that equip employees with AI tools to improve productivity are seeing stronger results. However adoption remains challenging with previous studies showing that more than half of workers avoid using available AI systems.

@channelstv The joyous reception for the Blue Sharks in Praia proves that true sporting victory is measured by courage and defiance, not just trophies.

@abazwhyllzz This invites a fascinating discussion about how we define artistic milestones. While upgrading high-value assets like aircraft is a powerful indicator of commercial success, does this shift in investment focus reflect a changing standard for legacy building in the music industry?

While other musicians are busy being cars,Davido is switching private jets. There are levels to this thing🐐❤️

@instablog9ja @Mellyandyfx001 God forbid. Lets be careful with the use of words. God bless you.

@instablog9ja This courageous move highlights a profound truth about love and resilience in the face of geopolitical tension. Welcome home.

@instablog9ja Since 2007, the award has been open to the best player in the world, regardless of their league. While European clubs have dominated, strong performances in other leagues are considered, especially with the shift to a seasonal, rather than calendar year, evaluation.

@mayemusk @elonmusk @kimbal @ToscaMusk Amazing. But parents should realized that sibling unity is a built infrastructure rather than a lucky roll of the dice.

So fortunate to have my three children loving and supporting each other. @elonmusk @kimbal @ToscaMusk 🥰🥰🥰

The moment Marta Kostyuk became WTA 1000 champion and her winning backflip

@coachmikebayer @Rainmaker1973 Beautiful

@Rainmaker1973 Nice but we call that a “back hand spring” 🫣

For years, the tennis establishment has subtly policed players for expressing raw, uncurated emotion on court, expecting calm handshakes and polite waves. Kostyuk bringing elite gymnastics, unhinged joy, and unfiltered personality to a WTA 1000 final completely shatters that boring template

@wilsonpatx @FoxNews Perfect

@same_desk @FoxNews Multiple airports around the country are named after presidents. It’s not that big of a deal unless you’re a hater. George Bush in Houston, JFK in NYC, Reagan in Virginia,- about 13 from what I read.

The makeover has officially begun. New I-95 signs in South Florida welcome travelers to President Donald J. Trump International Airport, even before the airport's official renaming scheduled for July 9. County officials say the transition will happen in stages as websites, booking systems and airport materials are updated.

@PeterObi Who is in charge of budget?

Grand Corruption: Nigeria’s Greatest Threat. The recent report from the IMF consultation further raises concerns about the scale of grand corruption under the Tinubu government. The IMF now reveals that about N8.83 trillion in expenditure undertaken in 2025 is not reflected in the budget. This expenditure is not budgeted and is therefore not under legislative oversight or administrative scrutiny. This is horrible. N8.83 trillion is as follows: 1.About 2% of our GDP. 2.Over 35% of Nigeria’s 2025 N23.96 trillion capital project budget. In fact, the amount is more than the actual released capital funding for 2025. 3.It is more than the entire combined budget for education (N3.52 trillion) and health (N2.38 trillion). If such an amount is properly used and accounted for, it could transform Nigeria’s public health and education sectors. It could create hundreds of cottage industries that can provide jobs for thousands of graduates and build a solid foundation for economic development. But we cannot account for it. This is not an isolated incident. This is a pattern of grand corruption that has become part of this administration. We have a lot to worry about regarding the state of corruption under President Tinubu. The sort of corruption that is ingrained in total disregard of elementary rules of public finance management poses a grave danger to national security and the stability of the Nigerian state. The capture of the Nigerian state and the plunder of its resources are actions that undermine the basis of state stability and deepen poverty and state failure. This recent revelation proves that the APC government is grossly corrupt, incompetent, and insensitive. With the growing poverty and the urgent need for significant upgrades to social and physical infrastructure, a responsible and responsive government would ensure that N8.83 trillion is prudently utilised to address these gaps. But not the Tinubu administration. A few days ago, I called on President Tinubu to resign from office for incompetence, lack of capacity, lack of compassion, and failure to improve on his campaign promises. Some people thought perhaps the call was excessive. But with the daily revelations of pervasive corruption in this administration and its total lack of commitment to the welfare and security of Nigerian citizens, the only reasonable action is for President Tinubu to resign from office. The collapse of elementary forms of due process under Tinubu and the increased evidence of rampant looting of Nigerian public finances reinforce the need for greater accountability. It is now time for Nigerian citizens to rise within the law and hold this administration to account. A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

@cuppymusic @effxzzzyy Keep pushing

The music industry needs more stories where the work ends, but the respect and friendship remain! Had lunch with my former manager, Ida Beer. We stopped working together 7 months ago, but I miss her so much and will always be grateful for everything she did for my career 🫶🏾🤍
