Mark Zuckerberg revealed he tore his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) while preparing for an upcoming MMA fight—and the Meta founder took to Instagram to share photos post-surgery.

The photos show the Facebook co-founder in good spirits while still in his hospital bed, with a few showing his wife Priscilla Chan tending to him.

He captioned the post:

"Tore my ACL sparring and just got out of surgery to replace it."
"Grateful for the doctors and team taking care of me."

He continued, noting that the injury he incurred during training will set his fight back, but that he is greatly anticipating it nonetheless.

"I was training for a competitive MMA fight early next year, but now that's delayed a bit. Still looking forward to doing it after I recover. Thanks to everyone for the love and support."

Viewers of the post wished Zuckerberg a speedy recovery.

Of course, the news of Zuckerberg's injury has greatly riled Elon Musk supporters wishing to see the two in a cage fight, especially since just a week ago Musk claimed on The Joe Rogan Experience that the Meta CEO "chickened out."

While it's true Zuckerberg backed out of a potential fight, it wasn't for lack of preparation or planning...It just wasn't worth his time.

He shared on his own X rival Threads:

"I think we can all agree Elon isn’t serious and it’s time to move on."
“I offered a real date. Dana White offered to make this a legit competition for charity."
"Elon won’t confirm a date, then says he needs surgery, and now asks to do a practice round in my backyard instead.”

Welp, looks like that window has officially closed.

Get well soon, Zuck!

Swiss Church Sparks Debate After Introducing Bizarre AI Jesus Hologram To Take Confessions

A church in Switzerland is stirring debate with its use of an AI-generated Jesus hologram for confessions. Dubbed Deus in Machina (“God in Machine”), the project is installed at St. Peter’s Chapel in Lucerne, the city’s oldest Catholic church.

The hologram, developed by experts from Lucerne University’s Immersive Realities Center and a parish theologian, greets users with, “Peace be with you, brother,” and invites them to share what’s troubling their hearts. It can respond in 100 languages, with answers based on sacred scripture and theological texts sourced from the internet.

Dem Rep. Expertly Pinpoints Why Republicans Are Dismantling DEI Programs In Mic Drop Rant

Speaking during a House Oversight Committee hearing, Pennsylvania Democratic Representative Summer Lee expertly pinpointed why diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs are being targeted by Republicans nationwide, noting that "remedying past discrimination is not, in turn, a discrimination."

DEI programs are organizational strategies aimed at ensuring fair treatment and full participation for everyone, with a special focus on historically marginalized or discriminated groups. These frameworks strive to create an environment where all individuals, regardless of their identity or abilities, are valued and included.
