1. Don't be alarmed if your Twitter feed looks a little different this morning or if you can't access it at all.

It's part of a controversial new set of changes that Elon Musk is introducing.

The changes put new limits on the number of posts users can view, blocking content after using the app too much.

Verified accounts are now limited to 10,000 posts daily and 1,000 posts for unverified accounts.

He adds that the measure is temporary but did not elaborate on when the restrictions would be lifted.

 
2. Start your day off right by having breakfast with the animals at John Ball Zoo this Wednesday from 7:30 to 9 a.m.

Breakfast will be served on the South American Boardwalk, followed by a guided tour of two animal exhibits of your choosing. One group will stroll through North America and otters, while the other will hang out with the chimpanzees and meerkats.

This breakfast is a summer series. If you can’t see all your favorite animals at one breakfast, you can always come back for another.
