We all saw this one coming, Elon Musk: Twitter users are buying the 8 verified checkmarks for their accounts to spread misinformation.

All of this after Musk reportedly told investors that the social media platform was “going to be extremely vigorous about eliminating deception,” per Axios reporter Sara Fischer.

In yet another bad sign that the pandemic is far from over, tonight’s New York Yankees game against the Boston Red Sox was postponed by a Covid-19 outbreak.
While getting ready for the first game after the midsummer All-Star break, the Yankees saw positive tests for pitchers Jonathan Loaisiga, Nestor Cortes, Jr. and Wandy Peralta derail those plans.
All-Star rightfielder Aaron Judge, catcher Kyle Higashioka, and third baseman Gio Urshela were sidelined by being placed in the Covid-19 protocols after close contact.
Tests for three other players are still pending, according to Yankees general manager Brian Cashman. He indicated he expects those to turn out positive.
For their part, the Red Sox have asked their All-Stars who were in Denver to undergo additional testing today after being told of Judge’s case. He was joined at the game by fellow Yankees Gerrit Cole and Aroldis Chapman.
“It’s a fluid situation that could spread.

[[tmz:video id="0_drfnix0b"]] Aroldis Chapman brings the heat when it comes to his cars ... flossin' 4 of his insanely expensive rides in Miami. The NY Yankees star has been rockin' the Lamborghini for a while ... but now he's added a Rolls-Royce and two fancy SUVs to the mix ... including a custom built Rhino Gx (which start at $229k). Chapman recently signed a 5 year, $86 million contract. Spend it if ya got it. @_thecubanmissile54 thank you for joining our family also...

[[tmz:video id="0_qqw2by4y"]] President Obama seems to have a White House rule -- no special shout-outs to athletes accused of domestic violence ... because Aroldis Chapman got no love at the White House today. Chapman was with the Chicago Cubs as part of their World Series trip to 1600 Pennsylvania ... and stood directly behind Potus as Obama cracked jokes about the team. But as Obama broke down the final outs in Game 7 ... which Chapman pitched in ... B.O. never mentioned Aroldis by name.
