LONDON — Meta is poised to unveil a new app that appears to mimic Twitter — a direct challenge to the social media platform owned by Elon Musk. A listing for the app, called Threads, appeared on Apple's App Store, indicating it would debut as early as Thursday. It is billed as a 'text-based conversation app' that is linked to Instagram, with the listing teasing a Twitter-like microblogging experience. 'Threads is where communities come together to discuss everything from the topics you care about today to what'll be trending tomorrow,' it said.

MANILA, Philippines—Fran Yu may have boosted his stock before putting his name in this year's Rookie Draft after leading NorthPort to a 101-95 win over Barangay Ginebra in the lone PBA On Tour game held Saturday in Batangas City. Yu scored 21 points spiked by six three-pointers as the Batang Pier were able to get out of the capital city of Batangas province with the victory. NorthPort prevailed for the third straight time after dropping two in a row to open the exhibition series. It was the best game for the former Letran sniper, who was among the handful of players who took advantage of the PBA's decision to allow prospective draftees to be signed by teams in the On Tour.

If slang is the people's poetry , then Australia lost a poet last week. Barry Humphries breathed life into Australia's 'slanguage' – but it was often an imagined life. When it comes to their lexicon, Australians take pride in skirting the thin line between reality, romanticisation, and furphies. Humphries took linguistic invention to extremes – plucking words and phrases out of obscurity, but also pushing or exceeding acceptability. In this way, Humphries joined others who have guided Australia into a sense of nationhood by contributing words, attitudes and a few porkies to our national lexicon.

In the 1990s, Eli Lilly vice president Alpheus Bingham worried that the company was spending large capital looking for the next drug blockbuster, so he tried a totally different strategy in research. Instead of using their in-house experts, he created a public website called InnoCentive, where he posted their problems and promised a reward to outsiders who could suggest solutions to them. After a month, suggestions came pouring in. Said Bingham: 'We got these great ideas from researchers we'd never heard of, pursuing angles that had never occurred to us.
