ALTER: How are you feeling physically? EDWARDS: Fine. I had a broken rib, a fairly benign condition, but that’s the only uncomfortable part. Let’s talk about what I think a lot of cancer survivors think of as being almost harder than the physical pain: the emotional cost. When I was first diagnosed, I was going to beat this. I was going to be the champion of cancer. And I don’t have that feeling now....
“Should I step down as head of Twitter? I will abide by the results of this poll,” Musk tweeted on Sunday. Some 57.5 percent of the 17.5 million votes said that he should step down, while 42.5 percent said he should not, in what were billed as final results. After buying the social media site in October for $44 billion, Musk’s leadership of Twitter has been mired in controversy....
Musk’s $44 billion offer to buy social media platform, Twitter, is back on this week after he backed away from original takeover plans. The billionaire’s lawyers have filed a notice to the court indicating Musk planned to go ahead with the purchase after all.

One such token, $STOPELON, is currently worth $0.000015 with a market capitalization of around $8 million, though this is likely to change quickly. Another, $F***ELON, is worth around $1.67 with a market cap of just under $150,000. Musk, the billionaire CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, is thought to be influential over the price of some cryptocurrency tokens. Dogecoin, the meme token that was launched as a joke in 2013, made headlines this year partly buoyed by Musk’s support....
The Tesla CEO and billionaire shares two children with the musician and dated her for fours years. She announced in March this year that they had broken up, but they remain best friends and she said Musk is the love of her life. Grimes spoke openly this week on social media about her intentions to have “body mods” and undergo plastic surgery for things like “elf ears.” Musk, who is often very outspoken on Twitter, the platform he almost purchased and is currently embroiled in a legal case with, replied to her to voice his disapproval....
In an interview with the Financial Times, published Thursday, Putin declared that Russia had “no problem with LGBT persons.” A day later, John took to social media to call out Putin’s comments as hypocritical.

Lynch announced Tuesday that San Francisco had signed free-agent Elvis Dumervill. The veteran pass-rusher, while playing defensive end for Denver in 2007 in front of Lynch, broke out with 12.5 sacks. Overall, as either a Broncos 4-3 end or Ravens 3-4 outside linebacker, Dumervil has amassed 99 sacks in 99 career starts. He’s 33 and coming off a 2016 season mostly lost to a foot injury. That made him a easy salary-cap casualty for the Ravens in March....

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) on Thursday refused to name 15-year-old Kamila Valieva as the doping suspect, and IOC spokesperson Mark Adams only said an “active legal case” was responsible for the cancellation of a February 8 medal ceremony for the figure skating team event, which Valieva and her teammates had won the day before. The Russian newspaper RBC reported Valieva tested positive for trimetazidine, a medication prescribed for heart conditions and vertigo that is banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency because it increases blood flow efficiency and builds endurance....

Emily Rose Grover was 17 years old when she was arrested in March for multiple felony charges, but she turned 18 in April. The State Attorney’s Office in Escambia County, Florida, confirmed to ABC News that she will be tried as an adult. Prosecutors allege she and her 50-year-old mother, Laura Rose Carroll, rigged the competition by hacking into a school district computer system.

Stevie, formerly known as Whitney, made the revelation to their almost 10,000 followers on the platform last week, and acknowledged in their TikTok bio that they’re happy to be referred to under “any” pronoun. The 19-year-old was adopted by Eminem, real name Marshall Mathers, when the rapper briefly reunited with their mother, Kim Scott, in 2005. In Stevie’s video, the teen shared a montage of photos tracking their changes over the years, from identifying as “she/they,” before progressing to “they/she” and, ultimately, “all pronouns....
But since the women’s steeplechase was not an Olympic event, the race was purely an exhibition. Unlike every other winner at the meet, Gaffigan didn’t go to Athens. Back then, running the steeplechase wasn’t exactly a worthy pursuit. “There was a group of us who led the way in terms of being willing to try a brand new event when it was first available as an NCAA event in 2001,” said Gaffigan....
This time last year, the teenage sensation had just sat her A-Level exams and was ranked 338th in the world, as she made her Wimbledon debut in what would prove to be just the start of an incredible few months. Raducanu became the story of the Championships as she made the fourth round before having to retire against Australian Ajla Tomljanovic due to breathing difficulties. She soon bounced back a few months later as she made history by becoming the first ever qualifier to win a Grand Slam, winning the US Open without dropping a set....
With 1,404 yards, nine touchdowns and a first trip to the Pro Bowl in his first season with the Broncos, that appears to be true. “It’s been a good season. Obviously it ended with a Pro Bowl. I wish it would have ended with a Super Bowl,” Sanders told Around The NFL . “… I’m out here in my first Pro Bowl and I caught over 100 balls and went for 1,400 yards....
Not so fast. Shockingly, “The Sopranos” was completely shut out of the acting categories. Michael Imperioli was beaten in the Best Supporting Actor in a Drama category by Terry O’Quinn from “Lost.” Lorraine Bracco and Aida Turturro lost Best Supporting Actress to “Grey’s Anatomy’s” Katherine Heigl. It was an especially stinging loss for Bracco, who for the first time entered the Supporting Actress race, ostensibly to avoid being hit by the Edie Falco Victory Express....
Just as your diagnosis may differ from those of other people with breast cancer, your emotional experience may also differ. Knowing what other survivors have experienced and getting help early in the process can be helpful in navigating your way through this experience. You may not have all of these emotions, but it’s normal to have a range of emotions as you progress through treatment. Here are some emotional states that are similar to Kübler-Ross’s Five Stages of Grief:...
If greenhouse gases are pumped into the atmosphere at current rates and global temperatures spike 5 to 6C, relative to pre-industrial levels, there will be an average 86 percent decline in populations by the year 2100.

The egg-enjoyer, u/Nettie_Moore, shared her story to the popular r/AmITheA**hole Reddit forum to determine if she was in the wrong. She earned over 5,500 upvotes and 800 comments in 14 hours for her post, “AITA for eating something my coworker is deathly allergic to?” The original poster (OP) says that the woman in her office who is allergic to eggs can go into anaphylactic shock if she’s around them. Her bosses have asked all employees to not bring eggs, used cartons or egg products into the office....
