Greetings!

Here are the latest trending internet culture stories today:

We look into why a group of protestors is claiming a man is trapped inside the Chicago bean, Gavin Newsom launched a merch shop to rival Trump’s, and I’m not sure I see the logic in Gen Z’s nostalgia for the Summer of 2016, but it sure does make you feel old.

Til tomorrow!
