FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 2021 / Finely crafted by Lily Herman

Ahhhh! Friday! We made it! I’m fully expecting to blob this weekend, but we need to dive into a few things first. Today is all about a COVID-19 vaccine card scam, a Paralympic controversy and a spotlight on cantaloupes.

A programming note: I won't Yodel on Monday in observance of Labor Day. Gotta keep the irony of this strange American holiday alive.

Finance For You

(Netflix)

  • Which three shows did a bank analysis say Netflix needs to focus on as the streaming wars heat up? One of the programs is, in fact, the smash-hit with the now-iconic line, "I burn for you."
  • Burger King is banking on a ~touchless~ world in the future, and that includes rolling out a brand new customer loyalty app. What I want to know though is, at BK can you still have it your way?
  • Which college majors have the highest starting salaries for recent grads? Love this confirmation that my degrees from many moons ago were useless!!!!

Culture Corner

(TikTok)

  • Americans are confused at why Australians refer to cantaloupes as “rockmelons.” OK, we may not see eye to eye on the name, but we can all agree that they're meant to be eaten around in fruit salads, right?
  • I read this story about a pup born with upside-down paws learning how to walk, and the most eloquent reaction I can give you is laksdjflaksdjflaksdjflaksdjflaksf.
  • My fellow wedding drama-loving friends, this one’s a doozy: A groom looked unsurprised when his father’s girlfriend *walked in front of him* as he made his way down the aisle. What do we think? Big deal or chill out?

Tech Talk

  • Twitter will soon let users tip others using Bitcoin, which shouldn’t come as a shocker since co-founder Jack Dorsey is hardcore obsessed with the stuff.
  • Bad news for Richard Branson, the quirky Zooey Deschanel of all billionaires: The Federal Aviation Administration has grounded Virgin Galactic. The agency’s still investigating an incident stemming from the company’s inaugural July flight.
  • After initially refusing to put a lid on coronavirus misinformation, Reddit banned a big COVID-19 denial subreddit and restricted 54 others. The problem: It was for technical reasons and not due to content.

Entertainment Spotlight

  • Here we go again! ABBA is releasing its first album in 40 years and taking up a virtual concert residency. Gimme, gimme, gimme every single piece of ABBA merch available on the internet ASAP.
  • It really is 2005 again, and I’m not just talking about fashion trends. Kate Walsh is returning to ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ to play fan-favorite Addison Montgomery. Her original Seattle Grace entrance was *chef's kiss*.
  • I thought we’d reached peak singing competition show with the premiere of ‘The Masked Singer,’ but this new avatar singing program is it. We may need to do … a lot less.

Fantastic Finish

I’ve been playing this clip on a loop and saying “awwww” over and over again after running guide Manuel Antonio Vaz da Vega proposed to his partner, Cape Verde sprinter Keula Nidreia Pereira Semedo, after their heat at the Paralympics. The romance novel vibes are killing me slowly!!!!
