If you don't know the history of Twitter, he was pushed out as CEO back in 2008 and later returned in 2015. Then last year, he saw Twitter stakeholder, Elliott Management, trying to oust him again—basically because Dorsey's also the CEO of Square and reportedly, execs were worried that running both was stretching resources at Twitter too thin.

Jack Dorsey's Resignation
In massive business and social media news, we should seriously talk about the fact that a lot of you Twitterholics—all over the Twitterverse—are still unaware that Twitter CEO, Jack Dorsey, recently resigned from the bird app.
Jack also announced that effective immediately, Chief Technology Officer, Parag Agrawal, would begin as CEO.
Still and all, Dorsey added that yes, he himself will be active on the board until around May next year. But then, after that, he's getting the hell out of the way.
If you don't know the history of Twitter, he was pushed out as CEO back in 2008 and later returned in 2015. Then last year, he saw Twitter stakeholder, Elliott Management, trying to oust him again—basically because Dorsey's also the CEO of Square and reportedly, execs were worried that running both was stretching resources at Twitter too thin.
In the coming weeks, months and years, it'll be interesting if anything with Twitter looks drastically different. Not just in the way it looks, though. Or in the way it works, either. I'm more particular about how far it's going to be moderated.
Right now, it appears that Wall Street doesn't really know how to react to this. When the news first started breaking, the stock price went up 10%, then later it dropped back to essentially where it was.

Let's Talk About Malaria
Malaria, which has plagued mankind probably longer than any other disease, just got easier to fight.
Many thanks to a new vaccine called Mosquirix, which was just endorsed by the World Health Organization (WHO).
This very vital vaccine is targeted towards children who are the most affected by malaria. It's meant to get their immune system into gear, to fight the deadliest of the five (5) malaria pathogens and the most prevalent in Africa.
This is huge news, not just because it's the first vaccine against malaria, but because it's the first vaccine against any parasitic disease!
Now, this is a bloody big deal basically because every single year, over four hundred thousand (400,000) people die from malaria—with over half of those being children under the age of five (5).
Unlike viruses and bacteria, parasites are much more complex—which means making an effective vaccine against them is way harder.
And for the sake of specificity, this vaccine isn't perfect, or a cure-all.
In clinical trials across Kenya, Malawi, Ghana, N̶i̶g̶e̶r̶i̶a̶ it had about a fifty percent (50%) efficacy against severe malaria in the first year, but that dropped to near zero in the fourth year.
Still and all, it is so much better than the next best measure, which is implementing bed nets—for children—that only cut malarial deaths by twenty percent (20%), so this is a massive jump.
Now, looking into this, I do want to note that the trials did not directly measure the vaccine's impact on death, leading some experts to wonder whether it will be worthwhile to actually deploy.
Regardless, at the very least, this is an important step forward.
The way I see it, you're stacking several imperfect but very helpful things to try and protect people.
Clearly, this is going to be a pretty much meaningful situation to watch.
I mean, the countries that took part in the clinical trials have already changed their vaccination routines.
And it's now possible—because of this—we might see some very important, great leaps here.
Let me know what you're thinking in those comments down below.

A Shocking Update on the OnlyFans Issue‼️
For the first time, OnlyFans (seemingly) tried to side with the sex workers so many had accused them of blindsiding; essentially blaming banking and payment services.
They just need to diversify and diversify a little more.
On the saltiest side of the twitterverse, a tweet oozing out astronomical amounts of small dick energy caught my eyeballs.
Quite frankly, there are always going to be people actively rooting for your demise—or not even viewing you as a human being.
It's all part of this thing called life.

Enormous Earthquake Escalates Further Devastation in Haiti 🇭🇹
Haiti, if you don't know, was struck by a completely catastrophic 7.2 magnitude earthquake of late.
According to recently released numbers, it has killed nearly 1,300 people and has injured at least 5,700 others.
And notably, that shake was way more powerful than the 7.0 one that hit Haiti back in 2010, which of course claimed the lives of more than 200,000 people.
It does need to be understood, though that this is still a developing situation. Right now, it is impossible to assess the full scope of the casualties and damages.
The quake and its aftershocks have had a super disastrous impact on thousands of locals left suffering and displaced—with people screaming and sobbing in the streets as they scramble to save or just locate their loved ones.
To make matters more maniacal, the devastation has gotten way worse because of Tropical Depression Grace which hit the exact same area and triggered mudslides and flooding further hampering rescue and recovery efforts.
With this ever expanding shit show, the US—along with the United Nations and several other relief organizations—have already promised to send swift assistance.
As well as the ton of locals out there struggling to get a hold of basic essentials like food and water.
But, this time around, the quake reportedly hit a less densely populated area in the southwest part of the country.
As I'm typing this, rescue teams are continuing to dig through the rubbles of collapsed structures.
Reports say that more than 27,000 homes have been damaged or destroyed—along with schools, churches and other structures.
The earthquake could not have come at a worse time for Haitians who are still reeling from the recent assassination of the country's president.
In case it's unclear, Haiti is considered the poorest nation on the western hemisphere. Not to mention it's already dealing with the extremely egregious effects of the coronavirus pandemic. Matter-of-factly, they had only just started undergoing a mass roll-out of COVID vaccines.
Additionally, let's not forget that the southern peninsula of the country is still recovering from Hurricane Matthew which hit back in 2016.
