Elon Musk may want out of his deal with Twitter, but he has some ideas about how to run the bird app, and they involve layoffs, subscriptions, and… a sarcasm button. Musk turned up on Thursday for a video chat with Twitter employees, and the employees promptly leaked its contents to reporters — including my Verge colleague Alex Heath and The New York Times’ Mike Isaac, who ran a liveblog of the event while it was happening. An apparent digression about aliens notwithstanding, the meeting’s results were fairly…

The reptiles did have an equivalent to a navel, however, and scientists have recently discovered the first known fossilized example of one.In people and other mammals, the belly button is a scar that remains at the point where the umbilical cord was connected to the fetus' body.Even though dinosaur embryos weren't attached to an umbilical cord per se, they were directly attached to their egg's yolk sac via a…

We’re all waiting for the ability to edit our tweets. This feature is slated to launch relatively soon on Twitter Blue, then trickle down to the public.

WhatsApp might have a solution for you as it is reportedly working on an ‘Undo’ option for deleted messages. According to WABetaInfo, the Meta-owned instant messaging app is working on a feature simply called ‘undo’ to…

Or any number of Mario Party minigames?

Takahashi Meijin is a legend that’s been in the…
