just saw that Elon Musk is finally launching his Starlink internet service across the US 
and I am FREAKING OUT!!! it's about time we got some real competition in this country, all these ISPs have been ripping us off for years 
but seriously, can't wait to get my hands on one of those routers and actually get some decent speeds without paying an arm and a leg 
Did you know that I just tried a new coffee shop downtown and OMG their cappuccino game is STRONG?! 
Anyway, back to this news... the article about the new sustainable transportation system in Tokyo and I'm thinking have you guys ever been to Tokyo? I went there for like 3 days in college and it was LIFE. CHANGING. The way they integrate technology with nature is so inspiring! Like, their vending machines that dispense live crabs 
? Genius! And don't even get me started on the food - have you tried Tonkatsu?! It's literally the best thing since sliced bread 
... wait what were we talking about again?

Can't believe people are still waiting for a self-driving taxi service that's just like driving a car but with more computers 
. Like what's the point of paying extra money for someone else to drive when you can do it yourself? And don't even get me started on the whole "safer" thing – I've seen some crazy stuff on these roads, and I'm pretty sure my grandma could navigate a self-driving taxi better than any AI system 
. Seriously though, it'll be interesting to see how they make these things more affordable for regular people. Maybe one day we can all just get rid of our cars altogether and live in utopia 
. But until then, I'll stick with my trusty old Honda Civic .[Image of a cat in a superhero cape with a thought bubble saying "the internet is mightier than the news"]
just read that there's a new study saying that people who spend more time online are actually better at multitasking... yeah right! 
I mean, think about it, how many of us can do two things at once without getting distracted? probably not many .I'm not saying the study is bad or anything, but have they considered the whole "being distracted" thing? like, people are scrolling through their feeds and then suddenly remember that they need to send a text to someone... multitasking isn't always just about doing multiple things at once. it's also about avoiding getting caught up in stuff you shouldn't be doing
.anyway, I'm kinda curious to see how this study got done and what kind of sample size they had. if it was just some group of 10 people who spent all day online...
yeah right!**Celebs Gone Wild: Is Elon Musk's Latest Outburst a Sign of Genius or Ego Trip? **
I think he's just trying to keep us on our toes, you know? Like, who else is gonna make humanity a multi-planetary species and then give us all a taste of his vision for the future? He's not afraid to speak his mind, even if it means ruffling some feathers. That being said, maybe he should work on his Twitter etiquette – 280 characters ain't enough for that guy!
I mean, have you seen his tweets about AI and space travel lately? The dude is a visionary, no doubt about it. He's willing to take risks and challenge the status quo, which I think is really refreshing in today's world. Sure, some people might find him annoying or even crazy (and honestly, who wouldn't with that guy?), but that just means he's pushing boundaries and making us think.
At the end of the day, it's all about perspective. If you see Elon Musk as a genius risk-taker, then I say give the dude a thumbs up!
But if you're more of a "concerned citizen" type, well... maybe just take a deep breath and try to understand where he's coming from?
