Xbox fans are freaking out, but Microsoft has been making its intentions clear for years
Paul Bettany, who plays Vision in the Marvel universe, has revealed that Vision’s death scene in Avengers: Infinity War was improvised. Speaking to Collider, Bettany said the sequence where Vision dies next to Elizabeth Olsen’s Scarlet Witch was not working as scripted, so directors Joe and Anthony Russo had him and Olsen improvise.
“The Russo Brothers came up to us [Bettany and Elizabeth Olsen] and said, ‘Hey, listen, can you just improvise this scene?’ And I go, ‘What? Improvise being a robot getting killed?’ I’ve got no frame of reference! And Lizzie was just laughing at it, and we’re so relaxed with each other that… I don’t know how it would’ve worked other than that, because we both really trust each other and, somehow, we got to something that worked.”
Scarlet Witch kills Vision at the end of Infinity War to destroy the Mind Stone in his head before Thanos can get his hands on it. In a tragic twist, Thanos uses the Time Stone to undo this, bringing Vision back to life before Thanos himself removes the stone and kills Vision again.

With the purge of verified legacy checkmarks, Twitter CEO Elon Musk’s attempt to strong-arm users into buying Twitter Blue has mostly fallen flat, likely placing Musk’s goal of profitability further and further out of reach. And users have now discovered another apparent attempt by Musk to not bleed any more money: Twitter’s terms and conditions include a harsh no refunds policy for businesses that apply for Verified Organizations status.
As pointed out by Chris Boyd (@papperghost), users who spent $1,000 in the hopes of earning a Verified Organizations checkmark and were rejected found that they could not get their money back. On Twitter’s help center website for Verified Organizations under “How to Apply,” the site states in bold: “Any account that is not approved will not be refunded.“
Based on the language used by Twitter in the Verified Organizations’ terms and conditions, the initial $1,000 for the gold checkmark must be paid up-front and is more akin to a non-refundable application fee than an actual guarantee.
Some users, such as @CovfefeChan, have already claimed to have been rejected and had Twitter attempt to keep their $1,000.
@CovfefeChan later claimed to have received a refund after getting attorneys involved and further claimed that the details they had been shown prior to their verification attempt did not properly warn them about the policy against refunds.
This process for Verified Organizations is completely different from how Twitter Blue is handled. Twitter Blue is also non-refundable, but those who pay $8 automatically get the checkmark upon payment and confirmation of their phone number.
It’s unclear how new this change to the rules for Verified Organizations is. Based on an archived snapshot of Twitter’s Verified Organizations page from March 24, the change happened within at least the last month.
Twitter’s new paid-for verification system under Elon Musk has been a confusing process during the couple of times major changes have been rolled out. Before Musk, all verified accounts shared the same blue checkmark, but now that anyone with a Twitter Blue subscription can be verified, the platform has been in turmoil.
The business model gets even more questionable in light of a report from TechCrunch found that Twitter is now requiring advertisers to be verified if they want to continue running ads on the app. This means potential advertisers might pay the $1,000 fee, have their bid to advertise rejected, and have Twitter keep their money.
It’ll be interesting to see how companies respond to this change in the coming days, but at least for now, it’s clear that Musk’s Twitter is looking for any possible way to turn the platform into a cash cow.

Once valued highly, and chosen to honour poets and writers along with honey and milk, ragi gradually faded away as a staple grain.

A SELF-MADE millionaire has shared his tips for building wealth and becoming financially stable by the age of 30.
Chris Choi shared his tips and tricks with his 2million followers on TikTok, but not everyone was convinced.
His tips don’t have everyone convinced[/caption]
He said designer brands are a big no[/caption]
Chris – who has more than 100 Airbnb rentals – says he was a millionaire by the age of 26, and is on track to be financially independent by the age of 30.
And he revealed his three top tips to budding entrepreneurs – and some may surprise you.
He began: “Rule number one: you have to live below your means.
“And stop buying dumb s***! If you’re not making over half a million dollars a year, you shouldn’t be driving a German car.
“You should be driving a Toyota or Hyundai.”
Chris also had strong words for people who splurge on brands like Louis Vuitton, Gucci and Dior.
He explained: “Instead, you should be wearing H&M or Zara.”
Chris suggests finding a way to “make money in your sleep“, otherwise you have to work until you die.
But his best tip for creating streams of revenue is investing in real estate, as you don’t need much capital to begin your real estate journey.
Chris said: “You can start out by using a strategy called rental arbitrage.”
Rental arbitrage is a practice of renting a property, and then posting it for sublet or short term rental on sites like Airbnb.
His final piece of advice: “A personal who walks alone is usually the one who goes furthest in life.”
But not everyone was convinced by his brutal financial advice.
One user joked: “Sorry, but this doesn’t help – my car is Toyota and I wear H&M.”
Others said brands like Zara and H&M are far too expensive, and suggested alternatives like Primark and Walmart.
Another follower slammed his advice regarding Airbnb: “So essentially exploit others to become wealthy?
“Is there a non exploitive way to get financial freedom???”
Another self-made millionaire shared her tips for building wealth, but warned you can never “save your way” to being rich.
Tess B. Jelten, a 25-year-old from Arizona, has built her fortune through social media and building her own brand as Tiktok’s “rich big sister”.
She shared advice on her platforms and says often people believe that cutting back or budgeting will help them get rich.
Speaking on her TikTok channel @billiondollarbella, she said: “Unfortunately that couldn’t be further from the truth.
“Now those things are definitely important to do but it’s not gonna make you rich.
“The key to being truly wealthy is having active income in excess to fill up your savings and then to turn that active income into passive income streams.”
