  • Are we notable enough to be listed in the notable alumni lists for our high schools?
  • Facebook’s oversight board has upheld its ban on former President Trump… for the next 6 months. Do we think he’ll ever be allowed back on Facebook?
  • Can Trump run and win in 2024 without a presence on the major social media platforms?
  • Pew Research Center (aka Laura’s bae) found that views regarding national identity have become more inclusive in the west since 2016. In this game of ‘The Number’ we try to guess just how much more inclusive this has become in the U.S.

  • Disney+ will be bucking its pandemic tradition and releasing new episodes of its upcoming series ‘Loki’ on Wednesdays instead of Fridays. Will we watch on Wednesday nights?
  • Twitter’s new Tip Jar feature allows you to pay Twitter creators. Do we see ourselves using this frequently?
