Glad the hostages were rescued from #BokoHarem (who joined #IslamicState years ago) in #Nigeria 🇳🇬.

Some of the female hostages were forcibly wed & raped against their will & birth kids for the terrorists.

One had seven (7!😳) kids!

So this is the #BuildYourDreams (or #BYD) car scaring #Tesla & electric vehicles worldwide.

👉🏾 BYD Seagull (Dolphin Mini) https://youtu.be/UdzsjZe3zRQ

#ElonMusk mentioned this car from #China 🇨🇳 could destroy the EV industry in the #UnitedStates 🇺🇸.

This car is tiny! But it costs between $10,000-$12,000 & has a range between 550-700 kilometers!

They are not selling this in the US due to tariffs from #JoeBiden, but they might sell in Europe.

Honestly though, I think kids really do benefit from camping ⛺️ & getting to know the outdoors (as well as how to survive in the forest). It gives them a greater appreciation for nature & hopefully a desire to preserve it for the next generation.

Wait‽ A 13 inch #iPad air‽ So does that mean that the upcoming #iPadPro will be slightly bigger too‽ I will have to buy a new keyboard if true. Sigh…

Yay! My #Flipboard account is federating: @darnell

Like #Threads & #Ghost, Flipboard is beta testing #ActivityPub on its main site.

I believe Flipboard will prove to be a counterweight to Threads and a prime location for news & pundits (as #Meta does not really desire the latter two on their platforms).

I am super excited! 🤩 I think the new #iPad will make the M4 chip the primary differentiator as the sizes seem to be the same as predecessors (according to rumors).

I know #WhatsApp is popular amongst Americans 🇺🇸 who travel outside of the country, but I doubt #Meta will replace #iMessage in the #UnitedStates 🇺🇸 in the near future.
