The Rundown - December 10th

WOO BOY - another week has come and gone. I’m having fun, are you? Here is your rundown for the week.

Transgender UPenn swimmer smashes TWO US world records - Now imagine that. wHo CoULd hAvE SeEN tHis CoMIng!?! Turns out men are faster swimmers than women, by a WHOPPING 38 seconds too! Smh. Read the full story here.

Hilary Clinton reads *checks notes* “would have been” 2016 victory speech?? - Yup, this was one of the most awkward clips of the week. And naturally, the memes are flooding in as they should. Music to my ears. Soak up the tears of what never was and never will for yourself here.

Take control of your internet spending with Privacy.com - OK, I thought this was quite the nifty idea; Create virtual payment cards for one-time purchases or subscriptions, directly from your browser. I personally hate the idea of having my credit card information in random company databases that could be hacked at any minute by Russian hackers. You too? This company saw the problem and is now offering a nice round about solution.

32 maxims from a 32 year old world blogger - I always love this kind of content. Practical little nuggets of inspo to chew on as we collectively reflect on the year as it comes to a close. Good stuff. Read this piece from blogger Alexander Cortes here. 

Twitter suspends popular Ghislaine Maxwell ‘trial tracker’ account - Jack Dorsey is no longer CEO of Twitter. Parag Agrawal is. With that news, we called Twitter’s new playbook from day one; A bigger crackdown on censorship than ever before. The Ghislaine Maxwell ‘trial tracker’ account is a prominent example (of many) of how this purge is already getting started. Read more here.

But with so much backlash from it’s users, Twitter has reactivated the account. Shows you have much power we the people actually have. Since then, the account has made a public statement that it will be moving to GAB where they “won’t be censored.” Stay awake, America.

New Zealand protesters do the Haka inside a "vaccinated only" shopping complex - New Zealanders are standing up to the authoritarian vaccine mandates in the most New Zealand way possible and I’m so here for it. Watch for yourself here.
