Today, Mark Zuckerberg, the founder, chairman, and CEO of Facebook (and its parent company, Meta), announced the launch of a new competitor to Twitter. The app, called Threads, is very similar to Twitter in many ways, but it could be a huge game-changer for the market. As it has been launched by an already globally-known company, it could be Twitter's only big competitor that could compete with the social-networking company now owned by Elon Musk. The app is currently under Instagram, and it has gained a large amount of traction in just a day. Over 30 million people signed up for the social media app within 24 hours of its launch, and Mark Zuckerberg expects millions more in the coming days.
On another note, new reports show that the world temperature average broke records again, just the following day after the record was previously broken. On Monday, July 3, the world average temperature reached 62.62ºF (17ºC), which passed the previous record from August 2016- 62.46ºF (16.92ºC). However, the record did not last long. Just the next day, the world's average temperature broke temperatures again, reaching 62.92ºF (17.18ºC). Some scientists say that Tuesday, July 4 could have been Earth's hottest day in over 125,000 years! But the heat wasn't done. On Wednesday, July 5, the average temperature almost broke records again, but thankfully did not- topping out at 62.90ºF (17.17ºC). These three days are just another sign that global warming continues to affect our planet in numerous detrimental ways, and more action is needed to help stop it.
