Twitter tries to be less toxic. It's The Daily Crunch.

THE DAILY CRUNCH MONDAY, JULY 30 2018 By Anthony Ha Twitter selects researchers to investigate its "conversational health," leaked photos may show new iPhones and John Oliver takes on Facebook. Here's your Daily Crunch for July 30, 2018. 1. Twitter turns to academics to improve conversational health on the platform In March, Twitter called for proposals from researchers around how they might measure and improve conversational health on the platform.

Tesla says, "The Limited Edition Tesla Surfboard features a mix of the same high-quality matte and gloss finishes used on all our cars." I mean, sure? But it looks like they're already sold out. 6. This is the leaked DJI Mavic 2 drone Just like the original, it's a small, foldable drone. This time around, there will be two different versions, the Zoom and the Pro, though both will reportedly have the ability to fly at 45mph with a range of five miles. 7.
