The LinkedIn post that is breaking the internet Harvesting Robotics, a forward-thinking startup working on sustainable laser-weeding tech for farmers, made this adorable announcement through a LinkedIn post by co-founder Rahul Arepaka. The post, which quickly gathered thousands of likes and an avalanche of love-filled comments, introduced Denver with a perfect blend of sass and snuggles: 'Meet our newest hire, Denver - Chief Happiness Officer. He doesn't code. He doesn't care. He just shows up, steals hearts, and keeps the energy up. Also, we're officially pet-friendly now. Best decision. BTW: He's got the best perks in the company'. Naturally, the internet melted faster than a pup in a sunbeam. Internet reacts to Denver's hiring as a CHO Denver, who now trots around the Harvesting Robotics office stealing snacks, smiles, and snuggles, has unofficially become the most beloved new recruit on LinkedIn. With silky ears, golden fluff, and an unbeatable tail-wag-to-stress ratio, he's redefining workplace wellness, one belly rub at a time. Reactions poured in faster than a pup chasing a tennis ball. 'CHO seems exhausted with the responsibility of making everyone happy,' quipped one user. '4 paws, 0 stress & 100% tail-wagging positivity!' wrote another.

Rapper NBA YoungBoy, a.k.a. Never Broke Again, original name Kentrell DeSean Gaulden, penned a heartfelt message to President Donald Trump after receiving a presidential pardon. The Baton Rouge artist becomes the latest rapper to receive a pardon from President Donald Trump on Wednesday. The rapper was listed among the nine other individuals granted clemency, a group that includes former GOP Congressman Michael Grimm and real estate personalities Todd and Julie Chrisley. In a long note, the 'Right Foot Creep' rapper thanked Trump, saying that 'this moment means a lot' to him. He wrote in the post, 'I want to thank President Trump for granting me a pardon and allowing me to continue growing as a man, a father, and an artist. This moment means everything to me." NBA YoungBoy has officially been pardoned by president Donald Trump & will not have to serve a 5 year probation 😦😦 'I'm grateful. I'm focused. I'm Ready. The 25-year-old artist went on to express his thanks to Czar Alice Johnson and his lawyer, Brittany K. Barnett, in the post. He says, 'Big thanks to the Pardon Czar, Ms Alice Marie Johnson, for fighting for second chances for so many people, and to my lawyer, Brittany K." He mentioned the name of Barnett for being his corner and for their hard work to make this possible. As well, he noted that now he is focused and he is ready. Why was NBA YoungBoy pardoned? NBA YoungBoy has a long history of legal troubles in the past, including the recent one that took place in April 2023 when he was arrested in connection with a large-scale prescription drug fraud scheme. The case led to around 63 charges, including forgery, theft, and controlled substances. Following this, the artist was sentenced to 23 months in federal prison. On December 10, 2024, NBA YoungBoy entered a guilty plea to possessing weapons as a convicted felon, resulting in an arrest in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

Finally, in November 2024, he reached a plea agreement, pleading guilty to 10 charges. Also, he entered a no-contest plea to the rest. During his 23 months of imprisonment, it was reported that in January 2025, he would be released on July 27 of the same year.
