It's Friday, March 30, 2018.

Hey, good morning! You look fabulous.

It’s Friday, and we’re celebrating the FCC’s approval of SpaceX’s satellite internet plan. Also, we’ve got all the new Apple updates and a new Westworld trailer from HBO.

4,425 Starlink satellites providing 1 Gbps internet around the globe.

In a statement, SpaceX president Gwynne Shotwell said: "Although we still have much to do with this complex undertaking, this is an important step toward SpaceX building a next-generation satellite network that can link the globe with reliable and affordable broadband service, especially reaching those who are not yet connected."

Seriously, everything.

Including a brief look at Shogunworld.

Buzzfeed published an internal Facebook memo entitled "The Ugly" from 2016, which shows just how much emphasis the social network places on growth above safety, privacy and everything else. Written by Facebook VP Andrew "Boz" Bosworth, one of Mark Zuckerberg's staunchest allies, the memo tries to defend the social network's "questionable contact-importing practices" and pretty much takes a very "ends justify the means" tone.
