#Bluesky
o It’s the hottest invite in the country right now!
o Twitter users are leaving the social media site and trying to get invited to former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey’s decentralized Twitter alternative Bluesky.
o The app is available on Android and iOS and is accepting new users on either a waitlist or if a friend is already on the platform gives you an invitation.
o As of now, Bluesky has fairly basic features…it allows users to write 300-character posts and replies, as well as share and repost images.
o Over a million users are now on the service’s waitlist.
o Many Twitter users are leaving the app since Elon Musk became CEO and as paywalled a number of features on the site.
#KitKat
o Ok is this a good idea or is it more like “gimme a break”?
o Kit Kat cereal is coming.
o General Mills is rolling it out in the U.S. after it launched in England last month.
o Sadly, they didn't break up REAL Kit Kats and toss them in a box. It's just supposed to taste like Kit Kats.
o Each piece is a little square with ridges. So they look like a tiny version of four Kit Kat bars before you break them apart.
o This isn't the first time a cereal company has gone the candy route. There’s been Peeps, Sour Patch Kids, Hershey’s Kiss cereal and Reese's Puffs have been around since 1994.
o Kit Kats are one of the most popular candies in the world though, so it's big news.
o The new cereal version will be available in stores nationwide next month.
