Robyn Machado has been lifting weights for over 20 years, and never broke anything until she snapped her radius bone last year. The 35-year-old shared a clip of the shocking moment to her TikTok account, @powerlifting_portagee, earlier this month, as she also documented her recovery journey. Machado, from Raleigh, North Carolina, explained the injury happened last March, just before the COVID lockdown.

Tyson made headlines in 2021 after lawsuits were filed against the meatpacking company, alleging it took part in an illegal conspiracy to manipulate and inflate meat prices.

Wall Street banks made record profits in 2020 despite the financial peril of many consumers, leading the six largest banks to testify before Congress. Citigroup, JP Morgan Chase, Bank of America and Wells Fargo were unable to respond “yes” when asked if they automatically waived customers’ overdraft fees during the pandemic as the Federal Reserve encouraged. According to Warren, a Massachusetts Democrat, JP Morgan Chase’s 2020 profits still would have been more than $20 billion if it had followed the guidance of federal regulators....

Larkin tweeted, “After hours of pets and a full burrito later, Bailey had no intention of leaving headquarters....

The screen star, 35, announced in December 2020 that he is transgender, though has rarely been seen outside of rare social media photos since. All of that changed, however, when Page stepped out onto the Oscars stage with his Juno co-stars Jennifer Garner and J.K. Simmons to present the Writing (Original Screenplay) award. Cutting a dapper figure in a black tuxedo, Page joined his fellow screen stars in reading out the nominees before the award was presented to Kenneth Branagh for Belfast....

Your career has been so diverse. Do you have a favorite genre? I did 10 years of comedies and 10 years of Westerns. I really like to stay away from car chases. I prefer the more intimate film. You have a much more direct association with the emotions. Is the score ever autobiographical? Sometimes, but I’ll never say when. In the McCarthy era you were gray-listed. I had to appear before a subcommittee of the House Un-American Activities Committee....

In the Delaware Court of Chancery, Randall Baron, a lawyer for shareholders who is pressing for Musk to acknowledge mistakes in the acquisition of troubled company SolarCity, said Musk tries to run Tesla without interference and therefore bears responsibility for the company’s failures.

He tweeted about the mega company several times on Monday after he alleged they threatened to withhold Twitter from their App Store. He also accused them of hating free speech (while CCing Tim Cook) and discussed their “secret 30% tax” that they put on the App Store.

“Starlink has been told by some governments (not Ukraine) to block Russian news sources,” he tweeted. “We will not do so unless at gunpoint,” Musk added. “Sorry to be a free speech absolutist.” A number of tech giants, including Apple, Google, and Microsoft have moved to ban Russian state-run media outlets such as RT and Sputnik in response to Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. On Monday, Microsoft said RT’s mobile apps would be removed from the Windows App Store, and the the company would not display any state-sponsored RT and Sputnik content....

The billionaire behind Tesla and SpaceX has long claimed the human-machine interface project could help to unlock the power of the human brain, helping people with paralysis or neural conditions. It now appears that vision is slowly becoming a reality. “A monkey is literally playing a video game telepathically using a brain chip!!” Musk said in a tweet on Friday alongside footage from a recent scientific test. The trial was conducted on a nine-year-old macaque named Pager, who had a Neuralink in each side of his brain about six weeks ago....

“Under pressure from hundreds of activist employees, Twitter deplatforms Trump, a sitting U.S. President, even though they themselves acknowledge that he didn’t violate the rules,” Musk tweeted. Bari Weiss of the Free Press tweeted a thread of Twitter’s internal messages regarding Trump’s ban from the platform. In the thread, employees discussed whether Trump’s tweets on Jan. 8, 2021, two days after the riot at the U.S. Capitol, incited violence or violated Twitter’s terms....

Dr. Megan Ranney, a professor at Brown University who practices emergency medicine, made the remark during a Tuesday interview with CNN. She noted that shortages of supplies, in addition to the rising costs, were making it particularly difficult for hospitals and health care workers as COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus, continues to spread rapidly. “Here in Rhode Island, just like in New York, we’re experiencing the same frustration … the supply chain is absolutely broken,” Ranney said....
