[1/3] Serbia's Novak Djokovic poses with the trophy after winning the Wimbledon men's singles final alongside runner up Australia's Nick Kyrgios, July 2022. REUTERS/Toby MelvilleJan 9 (Reuters) - Novak Djokovic and Nick Kyrgios will rekindle their bromance by playing a practice match before the Australian Open, giving the latter a chance to stretch his legs before the year's first Grand Slam. Australian Open organisers said "tennis' most famous frenemies" will play each other at Rod Laver Arena on Friday. Djokovic had said last week that he had discussed playing a practice match with Kyrgios, adding that the Australian wanted shorter sets. The pair were once at loggerheads and had a frosty relationship when Kyrgios labelled Djokovic "boneheaded" and a "tool".
☆ Twitter founder Jack Dorsey to remain invested in the company under Elon Musk
  + stars: | 2022-11-01 | by ( Clare Duffy | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +3 min
New York CNN Business —Twitter co-founder and former CEO Jack Dorsey stepped down from the company’s board earlier this year, but he’s staying involved with the social platform following its takeover by Elon Musk. Almost immediately after taking over the company, Musk dissolved Twitter’s board of directors. Later that year, Musk defended Dorsey when he was facing pressure from an activist investor, saying on Twitter, “I support @Jack as Twitter CEO. Dorsey stepped down as Twitter CEO last November and left its board of directors in May. In April, after Musk agreed to buy the company, Dorsey pledged his support for the takeover.
☆ Russian roulette: Is Putin serious about nuclear war, or bluffing?
  + stars: | 2022-10-14 | by ( Jason Corcoran | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +14 min
On Oct. 26, President Vladimir Putin appeared on Russian state television overseeing a practice run of Russia's strategic nuclear deterrence forces. The conflict has revived Cold War-era fears of nuclear war across the region. In August, a Ukrainian official said that 9,000 Ukrainian military personnel had been killed, though another source said the number could be far higher. (President Zelensky previously estimated that 30% of Ukraine's power stations have been damaged or destroyed, although the figure is now likely to be greater.) In a wide-ranging answer, Putin had offered, almost as an aside, that Russian victims of nuclear war "will go to heaven as martyrs" while Western citizens would perish without having "time to repent."
☆ Hugh Jackman to reprise Wolverine role in next ‘Deadpool’ film
  + stars: | 2022-09-27 | by ( Sandra Gonzalez | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +2 min
CNN —Ryan Reynolds just broke some Hugh-ge news in the movie world. The actor announced on Tuesday that Hugh Jackman will be reprising his role as Wolverine in the next “Deadpool” film, slated for September 6, 2024. “Yeah, sure, Ryan,” Jackman replies nonchalantly. Deadpool was introduced in “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” in 2009, but totally different than the smart-alecky take of the stand-alone movies. The duo’s team up will mark the third film in the wildly successful “Deadpool” franchise, which included two films released in 2016 and 2018.
☆ Inside the over 30-year friendship of Bill Gates and Warren Buffett, who didn't even want to meet and now have each other on speed dial

☆ Elon Musk subpoenaed Jack Dorsey as part of his Twitter lawsuit, but the two have had a crypto bromance stretching back years. Here's how it started.
  + stars: | 2022-08-28 | by ( Katie Canales | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +1 min
Jack Dorsey and Elon Musk are vocal crypto enthusiasts and have been friendly to each other online. Their friendship stands out against other tech execs' feuds, like Mark Zuckerberg and Tim Cook's. Both Jack Dorsey and Elon Musk have emerged as quasi-bitcoin ambassadors, using their Twitter platforms to spout their devotion to the virtual currency. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Apple CEO Tim Cook famously have beef stretching back years, and Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates had a long feud with the late Apple visionary Steve Jobs. That fact remains even as Musk subpoenas Dorsey for material relating to spam accounts as part of the Tesla exec's defense against Twitter.
