I have no reporting on this, but my guess would be that Marvel will tease/nod toward when the "Avengers: Doomsday" trailer hits the internet to prepare people in some way -- whether that's through the trades or their own social media teaser.

Wondering if Twitter would still have the pull of Old Twitter/X and if people would migrate over to New Twitter vs. Stay on X (inertia).

And, more importantly, would the Bluesky/Threads/X combo audience move to the central hub of Twitter? Or would New Twitter be, simply, like the relaunch of AIM?

Glad Messi won MLS Cup. Great accomplishment. He would have been criticized without end if he never won it.

Now he can enter the next phase of his MLS career without that added pressure. Wonder who Miami brings in next and what the vibe of the new stadium is like.
