In a blog post Sunday, Microsoft said it was "prepared to continue discussions to explore a purchase of TikTok in the United States," following a conversation between its CEO Satya Nadella and President Trump. It's the first time the company has confirmed reports it was in talks to acquire the video sharing platform.

"Microsoft fully appreciates the importance of addressing the President's concerns. It is committed to acquiring TikTok subject to a complete security review and providing proper economic benefits to the United States, including the United States Treasury," the blog post reads. It adds that the company expects to move "quickly to pursue discussions with TikTok's parent company, ByteDance, in a matter of weeks, and in any...

After SpaceX's Crew Dragon capsule splashed down in the Gulf of Mexico on Sunday and before NASA astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley were out of the capsule, dozens of boats circled the area, creating chaos as recovery crews tried to get to the spacecraft. One had a banner with a "Trump" logo on it.

The spacecraft completed a two-month mission to the International Space Station, and splashed down in the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Pensacola, Florida at 2:48PM ET, where recovery boats were waiting nearby to receive the crew.

Facebook has blocked the accounts of a dozen allies of President Jair Bolsonaro of Brazil, BBC News reported. Brazil's Supreme Court ordered the 12 accounts blocked back in May, as they are under investigation for allegedly spreading false news about judges in the country. A Supreme Court judge said Friday that Facebook had not fully complied with that earlier order.

A Facebook spokesperson said in a statement to The Verge that the company had complied with the order, which it called "extreme" by "restricting the ability for the target Pages and Profiles to be seen from IP locations in Brazil."

The Supreme Court fined the company 1.92 million reais (about $368,000) for not blocking worldwide access to the accounts in question. It could...

Posted: 02 Aug 2020 11:52 AM PDT

NASA astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley safely returned to Earth inside SpaceX's Crew Dragon capsule this afternoon, bringing their historic two-month mission at the International Space Station to an end. The spacecraft carrying the two astronauts splashed down in the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Pensacola, Florida at 2:48PM ET, where recovery boats were waiting nearby to receive the crew.

With this landing, the Crew Dragon has now successfully completed its first-ever passenger flight to orbit. The mission began on May 30th, when Behnken and Hurley both launched inside the capsule from Cape Canaveral, Florida and then docked with the space station a day later. Called Demon-2 or DM-2, the mission was meant to prove out all of the...

Hey murder hornet how’s it going

Murder hornet. Dead. | Washington State Department of Agriculture

Hello it is I, your intrepid murder hornet correspondent. What's a murder hornet, you ask? I wish I did not know. But as I wrote back in May, the Asian giant hornet (its official name) can grow up to two inches long, rips the heads off of honeybees, and has a stinger that can jam right through standard beekeeping suits. Oh and they can fly up to 20 miles per hour and their stings can kill you. Nature is the best.

Guess what, though: the heroes at the Washington State Department of Agriculture say they've trapped a murder hornet in the state for the first time (as opposed to finding one in the wild). The hornet was discovered in a trap near Birch Bay in Whatcom County on July 14th and positively identified July 29th.

The WSDA says his...

The League of Legends World Championship 2020 will be held in Shanghai | Riot Games

Even though many esports tournaments this year have been postponed or canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic, Riot Games announced that it will hold the League of Legends World Championship 2020 in Shanghai from September 25th to October 31st. The finals will be held in Pudong Soccer Stadium. The company says by hosting the event at one site rather than several different sites, they'll be able to more closely control the show environment.

At present the plans call for early stages of the tournament to have no in-person audiences. The company says it will rely on "local guidelines" to decide whether to allow an in-person audience for the finals. If so, details about tickets and any safety measures that need to be applied will be...
