So, there have been talks about Elon Musk fighting Mark Zuckerberg in a cage match, possibly at the Colosseum in Rome. But today, Zuckerberg’s company will be launching a competitor to Twitter, which is owned by Musk. I’m starting to suspect all of this is related and one big marketing ploy.

There’s no better analogy for recovery after a divorce than being put in a raft in a flowing river without oars and pushed from shore. You are exposed to the elements, will run into and out of the rapids, hit some rocks, flow through the wilderness and metropolitan plans, and get stuck on a sand barge. and come close to landing on shore, only to be set loft again for heaven knows when. It’s harder when you aren’t an outdoorsy type like myself.
