Today’s Highlight 💡
(Please tell us you’re not reading this from a Microsoft device 😭)
So, it’s no secret that Microsoft messed up today, so bad that even Elon Musk made fun of it *insert a stupid joke about ‘X’ 🫣* But, but, but…the tech GIANT has come up with a brilliant solution. Here this out:
Microsoft: "Have you tried switching it off and on again?”…around ‘15 TIMES?’
On a serious note now, It might take up to 15 reboots, but it's been surprisingly effective. If this doesn’t help, try locating a file that matches 'C-0000029*.sys' and just press *DEL.* And tada!! You’ll be able to go back to your work on a Saturday eve 👀
So, what’s up in the streets?🌏
Donald Trump’s granddaughter just went viral. Yup, try searching for ‘Kai Trump.’
Remember Mona Lisa? Yes, the real one. Her house is now up for sale, but do you have umm…$20 MILLION?
Getting back to Donald Trump, he is asking for *just* $844,600 from crypto bros if they want to meet him.
This is some serious sh*t 💯
📌Copa, you okay?
Guess what? Fans have SUED the Copa América! Yes, they’re taking CONMEBOL and Hard Rock Stadium to task, seeking more than $100,000 each after being locked out of the action.
So, what happened is while Argentina and Colombia were in the face off, some fans who had tickets ended up locked outside as gatecrashers caused a ruckus. We get the frustration, but, can we really blame Copa for this?
📌Talk to my hand or my brain, your choice!
Presenting to you - BrainGPT, an Aussie breakthrough that reads your thoughts and displays them as words using an electrode helmet and a language model. Harvard's neuro-guru Alvaro Pascual-Leone says we can now nudge your brain to move a hand, and you'd think it was your idea! (lol)
Welcome to fun shop 🥳
Let’s celebrate Halloween 🎃
No, we haven’t lost it (yet)… So, TikTok is celebrating ‘Summerween’, and we thought you’d wanna participate too. All you’ll have to do is go out on a sunny day and start carvin’ a watermelon. Yup, that’s it! No set date, nothing!!
BTW, thanks to ‘Gravity Falls’ for the inspiration.
Sports Corner ⚽
❌ France: ‘No Hijab’
Just when you thought they couldn't do worse in the realm of questionable decisions, France decided to ban hijabs at the 2024 Paris Olympics. Because nothing screams "Olympic spirit" quite like excluding athletes based on their religious attire.
Former Sports Minister Amélie Oudéa-Castéra, the mastermind behind this move, claims it's all about secularism and neutrality. So neutral, in fact, that France is the only country in Europe kicking hijab-wearing athletes off the field.
But hey, who needs human rights when you have secularism, right? RIGHT??

Analysis of the Winklevoss Twins’ Generous Bitcoin Donation
So, the Winklevoss twins just splurged $1 million in Bitcoin on John Deaton's campaign to oust Senator Elizabeth Warren in an attempt to stop her “horrendous” anti-crypto crusade. Each twin generously tossed in $500,000. Even, Ripple Labs joined the fun with their own $1 million contribution.
But, do we really want politics in crypto?
And let’s not overlook their recent $2 million endorsement of Donald Trump. Because nothing screams “serious about policy” like funding two major political figures at once!
Surely, after this, we won’t bother thinking, “Oh, they’re trying to influence the market,” or that it is a tab bit unethical.
That’s it for today, folks! Stay tuned for more enriching updates on Monday! Remember, knowledge shapes our world, and each story we uncover adds a vibrant hue to your understanding. So, keep exploring and stay informed. Until next time, stay curious!
