Otherwise, time to move on. I’m going to focus on competing with people who take the sport seriously.”Zuckerberg, 39, had previously proposed August 26 for the fight, but said Musk, 52, hadn’t confirmed.Last week, Musk wrote that the possible showdown would be streamed on X, formerly known as Twitter, which he owns.

Crash on I-75 causes road closures in Weston

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 16:29:22 GMT

A fatal crash on Interstate 75 has caused a road closure that is preventing traffic from driving through on the eastbound lanes of Alligator Alley. On Monday morning, a dump truck was seen crashed into a power line while another vehicle was demolished off the side of I-75. Around 6 a.m., Broward Sheriff Fire Rescue was at the scene to render aid to any victims involved. The other car involved appeared to be on the street parallel to the expressway when the dump truck drove off the highway. Though both vehicles were in the same area when the collision occurred, it is unclear who caused the crash and how the two were involved. Live video footage showed the tire marks that careen off the expressway. 7SkyForce was unable to show the extent of the damage to the car as there was still a person inside. The dump truck looked like it kept moving a few hundred feet before it ultimately crashed into a power line pole; the collision appeared to have taken out some heavy-duty power lines.Just be...

Fossil discovery causes monumental shift in understanding of whale evolutionary history

(CNN) — On the tail of the discovery of a whale fossil that is the largest animal on record, researchers in Egypt announced the unearthing of one of the smallest early whales known to science. The find is also the oldest fully aquatic whale found in Africa, according to a new study.At an estimated body weight of 412.3 pounds (187 kilograms) and length of 8.2 feet (2.5 meters), the newly documented species is comparable in size to a modern-day bottlenose dolphin.Tutcetus rayanensis is a member of the extinct family of early whales known as basilosauridae — the first widespread group to become fully aquatic. What’s more, the diminutive specimen is also much older than other basilosaurids of the Eocene Epoch, the study published Thursday in the journal Communications Biology revealed.The Eocene Epoch lasted from about 55.8 million to 33.9 million years ago, and the fossil dates back about 41 million years.
