Meta recently said it is building a new platform to rival Twitter. On Tuesday, Musk responded to a post about that, saying: “I’m sure Earth can’t wait to be… under Zuck’s thumb with no other options”

The US’ median age has risen for decades: In 1970, it was 28.1 years; in 2000, 35.3. Demographers say that’s in large part due to people having fewer kids

Per Census data, over the year to July 2022, the median US age was 38.9. That’s a record high, up .2 from the previous year

Maine has the US’ highest median age (44.8 years), followed by New Hampshire (​​43.3); Utah has the lowest (31.9), followed by Texas (35.5). No states saw their median age fall, although 4 didn’t change

Many developed countries have higher median ages than the US. Monaco has the world's highest median age, followed by Japan (48.6) and Germany (47.8)

Titan went missing on Sunday. The US Coast Guard (USCG) and partners launched a search and rescue mission and said Titan had 96 hours of oxygen

That 96 hours elapsed Thursday morning. The search continued, but later that day, a remote-operated vehicle found a “debris field” near the Titanic

A USCG official said Titan likely had a “catastrophic implosion,” meaning it collapsed in on itself due to extreme pressure. The USCG and its partners will now begin investigating what caused the implosion

OceanGate’s co-founder said the implosion would’ve been “instantaneous,” possibly so quick that nobody aboard would’ve comprehended what was happening

Per the WSJ, a top secret military system designed to spot enemy submarines first heard what the US Navy suspected was the implosion hours after Titan began its dive

On February 3, a train transporting hazardous materials derailed in East Palestine, Ohio. Fearing an explosion, authorities burned 5 cars’ worth of vinyl chloride, releasing huge amounts of toxic gases that were subsequently linked to negative health effects

Per newly-released documents, the manufacturer of the vinyl chloride aboard the train said in the weeks after the crash that the vinyl chloride didn’t actually pose an explosion risk

A representative for that company said Norfolk Southern’s fears of such an explosion were based on a misunderstanding of how the chemicals were stored

During a related hearing on Thursday, East Palestine’s fire chief – who made the decision to burn the chemicals – said Norfolk Southern officials told him burning the chemicals was the “only option.” He said they gave him just 13 minutes to make a decision and said there was no other choice
