Twitter's legal complaint accusing Elon Musk of violating his $44 billion takeover agreement includes an unusual exhibit The lawsuit filed on Tuesday in Delaware cites Musk's May 16 tweet, among others, as evidence that he publicly disparaged Twitter, in violation of the merger agreement, before he backed out of the deal entirely.

As Goya Foods CEO Robert Unanue stood beside President Trump in the Rose Garden Thursday afternoon, the head of a corporation that bills itself as America’s largest Hispanic-owned food company remembered his grandfather.

As humans, we live to connect. Which is why it’s amazing that it’s this very connection we seek that is now about to tear us apart. For the past five years or so I’ve watched an endless parade of outrage mobs on social media, and I’ve come to the conclusion that Twitter has now become part of a destructive, almost unstoppable evolutionary process.
